But here is what I have and would love to talk to you more. I have been to Carrollton on a couple of occasions and been to the cemetary and church for infomation. Working my way backwards I have: Mary Josephine Carmody b.8-15-1866, Litchfield, IL d. 4-22-1913 in St. Louis MO, married Martin Crean 6-3-1891 in St. Louis, MO. Mary was the daughter of James and Margaret(O'Neil) Carmody James Carmody was born May 10,1845 in County Clare to John Carmody and Honora O'Brien Carmody. James married Margaret O'Neil January 19, 1861 in Carrigaholt, Co. Clare, Ireland. The marriage certificate states that at the time James lived in Moveen West and Margaret lived in Furroor. With John Carmody dying before the Land Valuations I have not been able to track much farther back. There were two Carmody's living in Moveen West at the time of Valuation. Thomas or Michael Carmody. I am unsure as to how they could be related to John. This research has been done for my father-in-law and his sisters. They are full-blooded Irish and I have tried to get all research available for them on all sides of the family.I just spoke with JoAnn and she thought it would be great to go to a family reunion of the Carmody's. Will there be one this next July. I would love to get all of the James side and contact other branches I have spoken to and maybe have a really big reunion. Let me know. Thanks Terry
