WOW, my head is spinning!!!! I still can not locate the information Shelly found on Mary, MY GGM who she said died Mar 1, 1927. I would like to get a copy of the information for my records.I have Mary's DOB Oct. 1857 and her arrival to the USA 1866, Married James in 1892. I checked Holy Cross in Yeadon Pa, burial list, there is one James but DOD is 1939 and 3 Marys but they do not match the DOD. According to Shelly's information, she was widowed. Maybe there is a Holy Cross in Ohio?
Also, of note, Mary's parent's last names are the same as the daughter's adoptive parents if she was adopted. Maybe they were related to my GGM. Mrs. Markham in Philadelphia is my Grandmother. For years I thought my grandmother was born in Ireland.
Sandra, you are right. after I saw the Marriage Record of Mary, the daugther, she would be older than Winifred. Maybe because she was given up as a baby. I do have a letter Mary wrote to my GM, she was mentioning my mother's Pregnancy, she was carrying me and they were happy she was finally having a girl. She also mentioned that maybe I would be born on my GM birthday, I was. Mary's DOD was almost two months before my birth.
You and Shelly have found the information I been looking for over a year in a couple days. You have no idea how appreciative I am. Now I have to figure out if Mary's parents moved here from Ireland or maybe she had brothers who moved here and took young Mary. It would be nice if I had a living relative with some Knowledge.
The Washington Crossing National Cemetery is in my Town and just opened a couple years ago. I have to look further into the Heys and Huber names. My Mother is buried in the Hillside Cemetary with her second husband, I'll be driving around looking for the names you mentioned.
I'm trying to get all information in my family tree so my girls and my brothers know the family history, bad or good.
Thanks Sandra and Shelly
