>> I believe I have found Thomas Simon in NYC, or at least one of them.
>> I found a Thomas Sammons that arrived on the Constellation in 1857 in
>> NYC, and I think that is about when Patrick arrived. There is also a
>> Thomas Simon earlier, about 1854. Both would have been born 1835 or
>> 1836, which would fit our chronology. Also, a Thomas Shannon found
>> with Wife Ellen and son 1 year old Charlie in NYC in the 1860 census
>> (saved page 1 of that to shoebox) and Thomas Simonds, Mason, from NYC
>> was drafted to the army in 1863, listed as married (I added that to
>> shoebox too.)
