Extract from letter of 9th May 1979 from John Ronald Howard Greeves (genealogist) to Julia Helen Marie Baker (nee Brown): "The Daniel O'Brien who died in 1866 was a step-nephew of Daniel who married Mary Greeves. Some time after Mary's death, in what seems to have been typhus fever in 1833, Daniel gave up his business of a carriage manufacturer in Carlow and got a job at Friends' School, Lisburn as what was then known as an Usher. The date of his death in 1842 is given in a contemporary letter of which I have a copy." His full dates would appear to be 23 May 1786 to 31 Mar 1842, but we are NOT convinced because we have a later photograph of him. To be resolved. His career and the births of his children and grandchildren, various marriages and deaths are all covered in the letters. See below

In Ltr #134, Susanna adds a p.s. 25th 1st mo 1850: "I recd the enclosed this morning from Brother Dan so will just send it..."

"I don't know the address of John J. Wright, but he is a very well known man in Cincinnati, quite a man of the world and is I believe esteemed in business and an Auctioneer, is my cousin and married to my niece - three of her sisters went out, Margt was married to my first cousin Joshua Warring - he is dead - there was Mary and Lucy and their brother Richard and William Haughton, George Valentine and his wife Jane my sister and their son John. I believe they all live in Cincinnati. The only one I know the address of is: Thomas O'Brien, Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio". Red hair:

Quaker records show a Daniel O'Brien who died 20 February 1866 aged 80 years which gives a birth year around 1786. I believe this is the correct information for this Daniel. The headstone is beside that of his daughter Margaret Baker and her husband Samuel.
