Cornelius Dempsey I came from Ireland (Clan Maliere) circa 1760-1770 and settled in Pennsylvania. He fought in the Revolutionary War as a private under Capt. William Harris, Chester County, PA militia 1780-1781 and died from an accident on his Northumberland County, PA farm in 1786. His children and wife lived in (then) Northumberland County, west of Lewisburg in Buffalo Valley. His sons and daughter migrated to Wellston, Jackson County, OH in 1810 then in 1837 the sons went to Knox County, IL where they, and several generations of Dempseys, homesteaded.

My line is through the daughter, Mary A., who married Robert ELDER, Sr. in Northumberland County, PA before moving to Jackson County, OH. There is a petition at the Orphan's court in Northumberland County, PA filed April 27, 1796. James Dimpsey and Jonathan Dimpsey sons of Cornelius Dimpsey petitioned the court to appoint Robert Elder as their guardian. Robert, Sr. and Mary had 12 children.
