Dale, although we are 11th cousins twice removed by a very tortuous path, I note we both share Richard de Clare as a 25th great grandfather. And my family originally settled in Illinois after arriving from Ireland.
Sharon Doubell --Wikepedia gives 1130, and besides a LOT of sources, they also consider that his father died when he (richard our profile) was 18, so that makes it 1130.
