Make that the brothers Thomas and Robert. No way to edit!

We are descendants of John's son Robert (from Ougham/Sligo) who emigrated to the US. I have been struggling with the ancestry due to the repetition of names. I had suspected the brothers John and Robert for John Sr. I had found their names on a record of rental farm property in Tobercurry. The Craven home still exists there, although it is in a shambles. They farmed in Tobercurry with the Shaws, who owned a home nearby.

Cravens Church of Ireland originally from Lancashire, Anglican: Eileen Mary Craven 1892-1953 (Doonanarrow, Mayo) mother Belinda Anne Taylor (of the Beresford Taylor, Sackville, Eastwood, Persse, Boleyn, Butler (Ormond Earls of Ireland), Plantagenet line) 1861-1947 - married Thomas Craven (Rusheens, Mayo 1852-1913); his father John Craven (1819-1892 Tobercurry/Ogham Sligo) married Elizabeth Shaw (Sligo 1839-1891); his father John Craven ca 1780 Ogham/Tobercurry Sligo and brothers Thomas, Robert Craven ca 1776 listed as Flax Growers Sligo 1796; John Craven 1798 claimant for loss of horse during rebellion. Oral family history and previous lost research says a CRAVEN (possibly a John) came from LANCASHIRE with a military regiment during the mid 1700s. Cannot trace the connection into Lancashire from that point. Any help would be tremendous - the missing piece.
