Alexander sailed to North America young in life, settled in Pennsylvania. Fought in the American Revolution, he is my 4th generation grandfather, if there is any information about this gentleman, I am most anxious to know it.

Sincere apologies for the very long delay in getting back to you - your message slipped passed me for some reason.
I had a look but cannot find any baptism for Alexander in Longford. There is a John McCurdy mentioned in the Muster Rolls in 1832 but that seems to be the only other reference to a McCurdy in Longford.

Ms. Doyle,
Is there any other McCurdy listed in any other County in Northern Ireland, not just Longford.
Regards,
Mrs. LaMantia
