Thomas Peacock has disappeared on the second page and does not appear in any other community in Ballyrashane. It is suspected that this is our Thomas. He was probably the eldest son and was able to secure land. However, the man we suspect was Thomas' brother, Hugh, left Ireland as a teenager and married in Toronto. He was probably a younger or the youngest son with no hope of having his own land in Ballyrashane. Many people from this parish had previously emigrated and continued to emigrate to America.
