They settled Iowa(1850) and South Dakota(1885). In the Dakota's it was Sioux County, in Iowa it was Dubuque. They originated from the County Mayo and Cavan region although we know they stopped in the 1830's in Northern Ireland. Oldest known was James born in 1814 and his brother Michael, birth date unknown. There was a brother Thomas whom we don't know anything about. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
