Dear Steve;
I love research also. It is amazing what you can find, and who you can meet.

When Alicia came to California she changed her first name to Anne ( why or what happened who knows ) We know she came from Macroom . she was born in 1826-1827. No birthdate Alicia baptism date fits the timeline. She married Richard P. Hession in Sonora Ca. ( California gold rush ) 1856. at St. Patricks Church. Their first son was Dennis J. Hession 1857. This is Terry's great Grandfather.

Looking at the DNA matches for Terry in the forth and back the names that came up were Honora , Thomas and a Mary. So I believe that Anne is Alicia.

Please I would love to have the article about Dennis and John.
 and anything else you may have.



Patty

Dear Steve
Thank you for responding , This has been a long search. Anne/Alicia Magner ( Hession ) has been a family mystery for many years. As far as we know she came by herself to California. I looked up in the Boston Globe newspaper to try to find a death for Dennis , couldn't find one.
So is John your great grandfather? Do you know if the other children came to the states or stayed in Ireland. We will be going to Ireland in April, really trying to get as much information before we go.
Hope to hear from you soon
Patty

I want to thank you for the information you have found on Dennis Magner. My search is on his daughter Alicia.
It has been a long search, The family history knows her as Anne Magner. She left Macroom when she was about 17-18 years old and came to California and married Richard P. Hession.
Any information you can share it would be wonderful
Patty
