Ireland / Re: William Hall + Jane Blakely: From Ireland to Iowa
« on: Thursday 16 September 10 14:49 BST (UK)  »
I don't think William Hall was a soldier.  I've never come across a reference to that and he would have been on the old side to have served during the Civil War.

Ireland / Re: William Hall + Jane Blakely: From Ireland to Iowa

Shane, Thanks for the advice.  So far, I've been unable to find any county of origin in the Iowa records, and I don't know which county in New York was their residence before they moved to Iowa.  I haven't given up hope, though.

Dave, Are you also a descendant of William and Jane?  If so, what is your line?  My descent goes like this: William Hall - John C. Hall - Frank Jesse Hall - Anna Carmeletia Hall - Judith Taylor - Jeffrey Taylor.  I was born in NW Iowa.

Limerick / Re: WALLACE(WALLIS) Irish Deaths
« on: Thursday 16 September 10 06:18 BST (UK)  »
A few other points: Patrick Wallace (Wallis) and Ellen (Helen) Mahony (Mahoney) were married in 1822 in Bulgaden parish of Limerick (aka Bulgadine-Ballinvana or Kilbreedy Major).  At least one of their children --Thomas (1825) -- was born in Bulgaden.  They were living in Kilfinane parish by 1833.  Thomas and his sister Hanora emigrated to Rutland Township, Kane County, Illinois in the early 1850s. 

This Wallace family was related to the semi-famous Irish revolutionary Patrick "Staker" Wallace (see Wikipedia).  They weren't direct descendants, but they were closely related.  Some of Staker's descendants were living in Bulgaden parish in the 1820s and ended up in Kane County IL by the 1850s.

Ireland / William Hall + Jane Blakely: From Ireland to Iowa
« on: Thursday 16 September 10 05:50 BST (UK)  »
I would love to find the Irish roots of William Hall and Jane Blakely.  Both were born abt 1819 in Ireland.  They married abt 1838 (perhaps in New York).  In the mid 1840s, the family moved to Clayton County, Iowa.

Jane had a sister who also lived in Clayton Co.: Margaret Blakely, wife of Patrick Uriell.

William and Jane's children were: Nancy Jane (married David Bowles), William Jr. (m/ Annette Thompson), Betsy Ann (died young), Margaret, John C. (m/ Bridget and then Anna Garvey Riley), David (m/ Martha Jane Killen), and Elizabeth (m/ Horace Corlett).

Tipperary / John Uriell + Mary Gleason of Tipperary
« on: Thursday 16 September 10 05:40 BST (UK)  »
I'm intersted in learning more about the family of John Uriell and Mary Gleason.  Mary was born abt 1768 in Ireland.  She and her children arrived in New Orleans and ended up in Clayton County, Iowa, in abt 1838. 

Children of John and Mary included: Margaret (married John Cunningham), Julia (m/ ??? Holden), Patrick (m/ Margaret Blakely), Bridget (m/ John Barrett), Mary (m/ Michael Stentz), Michael (m/ Catherine Sullivan), and John Jr. (m/ Bridget Carroll). 

I'm especially interested in Patrick's line.  His children were James (m/ Sarah Schulte), John (m/ Mary Larkin), and Mary (m/ John Larkin).  The name was sometimes spelled Uriel.  Thanks.

Limerick / Michael Garvey + Anna Murray of Bulgaden and Kilfinane
« on: Thursday 16 September 10 05:29 BST (UK)  »
I'm interested in finding fellow descendants of Michael Garvey and Anna Murray, who had children John (1823), Hanora (1827), and Ellen (1829) in Bulgaden parish of Limerick.  There were probably other children as well, probably including a Michael Jr. and a David.  Michael's probable brothers include David Garvey (married Anastasia Duane) and Patrick Garvey (married Mary Moroney).  Michael and Anna were living in Bosnetstown, Kilfinane parish, Limerick, by the early 1850s.  Son John ended up in Rutland Township, Kane County, Illinois, by 1854.  Thanks.

Kieran, I would love to see photos of the Bosnetstown records.  I now have enough posts on RootsChat to allow PM's.  Are you able to exchange information that way?  Another possibility would be to google "Jeff Taylor" and "Where Did the Party Go" as phrases.  My Popcorn78 site gives you my address under Profile.  Thanks.     -Jeff Taylor

I'm descended from Patrick Wallace (Wallis) and Ellen Mahony of Bosnetstown, Kilfinane parish, County Limerick.  They bore children in Kilfinane parish in the 1830s.  Patrick was probably a brother of Jeremiah.  I would be interested in comparing information.  You can contact me at (*) .  Thanks.
