I am interested in finding Irish contacts & info on this REDMOND family. In 1850 US census for Henrico Co, VA: [h] Edward(55) laborer;[w]Mary(48);Thomas(20);Bernard (18); Mary(16); Michael (14); Catherine (12); Margaret(10); Ann(7); & Bridget(4). All were born in Ireland.
I believe that Mary is Mary Cullen Redmond, my maternal GG G/Mo, & her dau Margaret, wife of my mother's G/Fa, James F. Nowlan, another Wexford emigrant. Margaret & James met, married (1862), & raised their family in Richmond, Henrico Co, VA, USA. Mary Cullen, Margaret & Hubby James Nowlan, along with Margaret's sister, Bridget Redmond Ryall, are all buried in a Cullen family plot in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. Also, in the same plot are graves for Edward, Bernard, Mary, & Michael Redmond, all ages fitting those members of the 1850 census Redmond family. I found records of Thomas Redmond & wife Julia, with children, listed in the Richmond 1860 census records. Thomas died in mid- 1860s from Civil War injuries, & is also buried in the same Hollywood cemetery, with wife Julia.
Julia (widow) & children Edward(17),Mary (14), Susan(9), & Maggie(5) were in the 1870 census records for Richmond. Also, I found Mary Redmond running a boarding house in Richmond, with dau.s Margaret (18), & Bridget(14), plus many boarders listed in the census records.
I suspect that James Nowlan was born in Inch by Gorey, abt 1840, to parents Thomas & Sarah Nowlan. James' profession was a ‘stone mason/cutter’, as were three of his sons & Julia's son, Edward.
Anyone have these Redmonds (& Cullen) in their family lines? I would be delighted to converse with anyone with these folks in their family lines, or their research database.
Thanks, Bob [Chatsworth, CA]
