She was raised in a three generation family with her Irish grandfather, Vincent Claude Offutt, the grandson of Martin Renehan, her German grandmother, her grandmother’s sister, her parents, two sisters and a brother. She can trace her heritage back to the beginnings of Washington when Col. Ninian Beall first sailed up the Potomac River, saw the cliffs near what is now Georgetown, and called it Dumbarton because it reminded him of the Rock of Dumbarton in his native Scotland. She honed her knowledge of the District of Columbia from the memories and stories that circulated around the kitchen table of nine. When she began working on her genealogy, she became fascinated with the life of Martin Renehan. Ireland to America, The last Generation is her first novel. She resides in Southport, North Carolina, with her husband Ray. They have four children and numerous grandchildren.view less
