| Jared Parish English was married a 2nd time to Mrs. Louisa (Buckner) Pope whose first husband had been killed in the Civil War. By William Pope, she had 2 children. This is George Hoke's (the author of "The Descendents of Patrick and Anna English 1795-2000") ancestor. Mary Arbuthnot Lyons, Jared's first wife, was my ancestor. Jared followed the Lyons family to Owen, then Sullivan Co. Just north of Hymera. Another move took him to Presnell Corners, between Hymera & Cass. This was very close to where Helen Stoops, (mother of Jo Rotman) lived. Helen was a Patton, and a Lyons descendent. Mary's father was a blacksmith, and skilled in the making of fine edged tools. He is buried at Bethel Cemetery in Hymera. If you know the statue of the Minute Man, (Nathan Hinkle) cross to the far side of the Cemetery, there are the Lyons family graves. Jared came out of the Civil War, a Captain. He moved his family to Worthington, near his father's family, and opened a Bakery. His wife died bearing their 13th child, and is buried with the baby in her arms. Jared is buried between his two wives, in Worthington Cemetery. He was my great, great grandfather. Jared, like the Lyons family, was Presbyterian, but in his old age he identified with the Christian Church in Worthington. I think that MAY have been a return to the church of his youth. |

| Toora Loora Looral Over in Killarney Many years ago, Me Mither sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low. Just a simple little ditty, In her good ould Irish way, And l'd give the world if she could sing That song to me this day. Chorus: "Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby.". Oft in dreams I wander To that cot again, I feel her arms a-huggin' me As when she held me then. And I hear her voice a -hummin' To me as in days of yore, When she used to rock me fast asleep Outside the cabin door. Chorus: "Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby.". |
