Leitrim / Francis "James" Glancy married Catherine Mitchel Help Sunnagh more
« on: Tuesday 18 March 14 15:54 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find some information on my great-g-grandparents (above) families. James lived in Sunnagh more before he immigrated in 1870. His parents were Hugh Glancy and Alice Keegan. I have the date of their deaths but would love to know about Hugh and Alice's brothers and sisters. James had two sisters, Alice and Bridget, and I am wondering who they might have married. If they had children? Did they leave Leitrim also?
Francis "James" Glancy/Catherine Mitchel story:
After Alice Keegan Glancy passed in 1869, James took his wife, Catherine, and three children to the US and farmed for many years with the last name of Clancy. In 1889 he died in a coal mine powder house explosion. Catherine sold the farm in Kansas and her and the eight kids (Francis, Hugh, Mary, Thomas, Alice, Rose Ann, Grandpa Joseph, and William) all went to Colorado to work the silver mines. In their spare time the boys participated in the Oklahoma land runs, claiming pieces of land that they would homestead and share with their brothers and sisters.
I have read Maria's wonderful book, but still cannot see connection for Hugh Glancy family members.
