Hello fellow County Tyrone listers! I am looking for any information on John Kelly, b. @ 1839, County Tyrone. Emigrated @ 1859 to New York City. Joined Company K, 4th US Infantry, July 19, 1859, New York City. Married Catherine McKenny, daughter of Frank McKenny and Ann Barrett, January 1, 1866, St. Mathews Catholic Church, Wasington, D.C. They had 11 children: Margaret Ann (1867-1943), Frank Bernard (1868-1944), Hugh Patrick (1870-1924), Catherine Mary (1872-?), John Thomas (1873-?), Rose Helen (1875-?), Mary V. (1876-?), Charles Jacob (1878-1913), John Joseph (1880-?), Thomas Vincent E. (1882-1947), and Gertrude (1886-?). I am descended from Frank Bernard Kelly, who was one of the original 33 members of the United States Secret Service, established to serve and protect the office of President of the United States of America. Any information that anyone can provide in tracking down what parish my John Kelly was from would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Hello Paul. Sorry to sound like a traitor to this list (LOL), but have you also tried the rootsweb Fermanagh Gold list? My main reason for asking you that question, is because the List Administrator of Fermanagh Gold is Don KELLY; and from his postings about that surname, it seems that he know a LOT about the family. Good Luck. Ray in oz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Kelly" <rootsdigger05@comcast.net> ... I am looking for any information on John Kelly, b. @ 1839, County Tyrone. ...
