Dianne, I have not found out anything new. Denis came over about 1830 to 1840. In 1840 he was in St Louis. His age at this time was either 25 or 35. You know how the Irish lie. He married a girl from County Cork, Ellen Milner. She was Plantation Irish. Her father was English, mother Irish. I do not have her parent's names. I am at this time I trying locate a possible connection in Illinois. Possibly Springfield. What do you know about Patrick? I do have some info about Irish immigrating into Newfoundland.
