The first record of a Tobin in the U.S. that I have been able to find is the marriage of James Tobin and Catherine Dunn, my great-grandparents, in New York City on Sep.20, 1874.
James was 30, born in Ireland, living in Nyack [Rockland County, NY], and was working as a bricklayer. Catherine was 28, also born in Ireland, living in "N.Y." - whether that meant NYC or New York State isn't clear, but probably the former, since James specified another city.
Catherine's occupation isn't stated.
James' parents were James Tobin and Mary Joyce.
Catherine's were Andrew Dunn and Mary Hand.
So there are my great, great grandparents.
