Looking for information on Junk ancestors from Northern Ireland. I think most of the Irish Junks migrated from Co Tyrone. My particular line has been Catholic for 4 generations but other descendants of the initial immigrant, Thomas Junk, who settled in near McCarroll Corners in Sullivan County, PA were Presbyterian. I cannot find the ship he came on and know only the year. 1838 to Philadelphia. Spending a few years in Philly with his youngest son, William, being born there, then moving to Sullivan County, PA. I haven't been able to find any Immigrant Ships listing he and his wife, Ellen Badger and other children: James, Lewis, Nancy Ann, John, Ellen, and Mary Ann all being born in Ireland.
If you could tell me when your Junk Immigrated from Ireland, I would be most appreciative. One of Thomas's children listed his father's birthplace as Byron in an 1880 Census...is there such a place in Ireland?

Thanks again, Diane Junk Riley
