General Notes
- This refers to the infamous Johnnie Smyth of Rome, son of Uncle John Smyth, that Barney and Minnie came to America to see.
  It is reported that Johnnie Smyth had twin siblings who died the day after their birth and the very next day his brother died. At the funeral, he's reported to have commented that now "all the money's mine." After years of much good life, Johnnie died with no heirs, but his cousin, Kate Dowling and his attorney (her son) Jim Dowling who made his mother the Executer of the will. The story is my Uncle Leo got Johnnie's car. My cousin Gerald Shannon got his bicycle, and the Dowling's got his money, which was shared with his brother, Ed Smyth in Ireland, who rejoiced at the fact he got half of Johnnie Smyth's money.
