J. Reilly as the Priest. I am trying to find a connection between the sponsors and the parents of John Joseph Quinlan. John Joseph Quinlan was the second son of Michael Quinlan [1824, County Tipperary, Ireland-1904, Audrain County, Missouri] and Rosa McConnell Quinlan [1831, County Meath, Ireland-1901, Audrain County, Missouri]. Michael Quinlan's father was James J. Quinlan. His mother's maiden name was Martin but her first name is unknown. Rosa McConnell Quinlan's father's name was probably John McConnell. Her mother's maiden name was Gilbert but he first name is unknown. The Quinlan family left New York before July 1860.
