Thus she was likely daughter of John Saunders of Rathbawn and had several possible siblings including John Jr and Catherine Saunders (wife of Daniel Dunn of Knocknaboley.) Francis and Lucy were Roman Catholic and attended the Parish of Hacketstown before moving to Ontario Canada.
It is clear that there was a relationship between the Saunders of Rathbawn and Saunders of Knocknaboley. John Saunders' lease on Rathbawn was for the life of Andrew Saunders, son of James Saunders and grandson of Andrew Saunders of Knocknaboley. Baptism records in Killaveny show that Catherine Saunders and Andrew Saunders were sponsors for several of Francis & Lucy's children.
Both Lucy Dunn and Catherine Dunn's families left Wicklow for Whitby Ontario in the 1850s, which suggest they might have been sisters; however, it could be the close connection of their husbands that is reflected in the evident relationship.
