It has been quite a while since I have been on this list, so I will relist what I know. Daniel OBRIEN was born 8 Jan 1839 in County Cork to JOHN OBRIEN and Margaret DONOVAN. The place is unknown, but Daniel's son was born in Ross Carberry, so he may have been born in that area too. Daniel married Mary Ellen BARNETT probably about 1860. Born in Ireland were Honora, 29 Sept 1861, Margaret 1864, Daniel Jr 1869, Nellie (probably Ellen) and at least one other sister. Honora and Margaret came to the US 1883. Nora married Thomas JAMESON from England and they became my husband's grandparents. They lived in Boston, MA. Margaret never married and was a housekeeper in RI. Daniel Jr came to the US in 1885, never married and died of TB in Boston in 1907. He was naturalized in 1894. Nellie married at least twice; once to a SHERIDAN and later to a FOLEY. She had a son named Charles SHERIDAN who often lived with the JAMESONs. Nellie lived mostly in RI. There was another sister who supposedly lived in NYC and married a man named BROWN. They had a daughter named Brenda who attended a family wedding in Boston about 1927. Brenda was living with the JAMESON family in the 1920 census and is listed as a cousin who was born in Scotland. Her father was born in Scotland and her mother in Ireland. There may have been other children that I don't know about. Daniel OBRIEN probably was widowed about 1890 as he came to the US about 1893 and lived near (and sometimes with) the JAMESONs. He was naturalized, but his naturalization papers give no information about dates or places. If this sounds like your family, I would love to hear from you. Thanks.
