Gail, There was a Cody involved. Anna May Gilligan may have married a Cody. My parents, brother and sister visited my mothers cousin in Leadville in the early 60's. My mother was the daughter of Mary (Gilligan) Fluck. I recall my dad mentioning the trip years later and saying that my mothers cousin was an albino and his name was something like "Layton" and I believe his last name was Cody. Does this fit with anything? Don Stewart Montana

Mike, I read your note to Don and Anna May Laing was not that old and Anna May Laing's maiden name was Cody. Dick Cody was her brother. Gail

Sheree, In your post you mentioned Elisha, he died Jan 31, 1922 at the age of 74 and is buried in Block 26, Section 49 in the Protestant Section and there is a marker. Rebecca is buried in the same place and there is a marker. There is also a Charles who died 1 May 1928 at the age of 34 buried in the same location and there is a marker. There is a William who died 26 Nov. 1900 at the age of 26 and same as all the above information. Hope some of this is new info and helps...good luck!! Gail

Hi all, I've only just joined this list and really ought to lurk longer but you asked for it ... I'm looking for John H DEVERS, bootmaker, deserter from 8th Cavalry, Fort Union NM, in 1871, who may have turned up in Leadville in 1883. There _is_ one such in the City Directory and another in the 1880 census in Nederland CO. I think he would have been making his way north to his father who wrote him from Fort Benton MI in 1871. I just found a 'Devers and Company' shoestore in Sioux Falls in 1909 but these are pretty wild hopes right now. If DEVERS or any of the names below ring a bell, please let me know.

Don't know if this will help much, but the Anna May that you mentioned could this be Anna May Lange - who was married to Jack Lange the Attorney. Don't know much about the other names that you mentioned, but I do know that they did have one son name Donald. They also have all passed away and believe that they are buried in Leadville. Just a thought. Michael Irwin

GILLIGAN Thomas Luke Patrick (ggfather) Patrick was a tailor in Leadville abt. 1882/83. Married May Dodge in 1884 and lived in Salida until late 1890's and moved to San Francisco. I have most of the information on him and his family. His oldest daughter Anna May married an attourney in Leadville and lived there the remainder of her life. Patrick received Naturalization papers in Leadville in 1912. They may have been replacements for the original document. They were witnessed by Luke GILLIGAN and William NAY. Patrick was from Co. MAYO Ireland however I don't know the town. There is a Luke Gilligan buried in Leadville but he was only three years old. Don't know if his father was also Luke. I also found the Citizenship papers for Thomas GILLIGAN issued in Leadville in1889, with my grand mothers things after she died. He was also from Co. MAYO. He may have returned to Ireland. I have no idea what the relationship of Luke and Thomas were to Patrick. I'm interested in more exact information about where in Co. MAYO, Ireland the GILLIGANS were from.

You may wish to look into the famous Cousins family that settled outside of Winterk Park in Grand County. Dennis Dowd By the way the Dowd's were in Leadville about 1893. Michael Dowd and James Dowd. Michael married Catherine Murphy and they had the Leadville Dairy outside of town off the Arkansas River on the Tennessee pass road. I have not been able to trace what happened to James Dowd......Does anyone know ?

Hi. My Leadville ancestors are my brickwall! Looking for: Unknown LOFTUS (came from Pennsylvania died around 1900) Bridget Bolan MCHALE LOFTUS (his wife. The MCHALE family came from Ireland to Pennsylvania sometime around the great famine. Bridget married at 15 in PA and followed her husband to Colorado. She became housekeeper for the Catholic Church after her husband died, her sons were all miners who mostly died of lung diseases) Michael LOFTUS (son of Bridget? Have picture of him taken in Butte, Montana) James MURRAY (married in Leadville in late 1800's, died about 1900 in railroad accident.) Helen LOFTUS MURRAY (daughter of Bridget, widow of James, she moved to Boulder looking for work after her husband died, leaving their son with her mother. She remarried around 1905? Have picture of her taken in Leadville.) James H. MURRAY (James and Helen's son, lived with grandmother [Bridget] until her death around 1910, then ran away from mother and stepfather. This was my grandfather, born June 22, 1897 in Leadville. I have his christening picture, taken at the same Leadville photo studio as Helen's.) Minnie or Mamie BROOKE or BURKE (an aunt to James H., she sent the family pictures previously mentioned, but the handwriting is hard to decipher.) Keep Searching! Beth in New York
