He settled in Western Pennsylvania and married Nancy Morissey in ----. Their children were: Martin, Edward, Dennis, Bridgett, and Anna. Most of what is known about the Larkin family in Ireland comes from a letter sent to Edward in 1912 by his younger sister, Anne Larkin (Dunne), on the fiftieth anniversary of his departure.
