I've "rescued" an old photograph of Rose CONLAN; Mary Ann CONLAN HAYDEN; Margaret CONLAN WILLIAMS; and Kathryn CONLAN GREENOUGH; which was taken at the Spaulding Studio in Whiting, Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with the four women appearing to be in their teens to 40's at the time the photograph was taken. Under the name of Mary Ann CONLAN HAYDEN the date "1892" appears, though I've no idea why. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: Margaret Christien CONLAN b. abt 1869 in OH to parents Owen CONLAN (b. Aug 1833 in Ireland) and Barbara DOLAN (b. Apr 1840 in Ireland). Margaret married Ira T. WILLIAMS (b. abt 1869 in VA or MT) and together they had 7 children including, Mary Elizabeth; John; Linea L.; Eugene; Conlan; Charles; and Anita WILLIAMS all born between 1895 and 1913. Catherine G. CONLAN, daughter of Owen C. CONLAN and Barbara DOLAN married John GREENOUGH on 30 Jan 1900 in Belgrade, MT. Catherine was born in Cleveland, OH and was 33 years old at the time of her marriage to John. Census information provides the following information: 1870 census of Cleveland, OH: Owen CONLAN, age 35, a Railroad Worker, born Ireland Barbara CONLAN, age 32, Keeping House, born Ireland James CONLAN, age 10, born OH Mary CONLAN, age 8, born OH Catherine CONLAN, age 6, born OH Margaret CONLAN, age 1, born OH + a Laborer 1880 census of Grant, IA: Owen CONLEN, age 47, born Ireland, a Farmer, parents born Ireland Barbara CONLEN, wife, age 40, born Ireland, Keeping House, parents born Ireland Katy CONLEN, dau, age 16, born OH, at Home Maggie CONLEN, dau, age 11, born OH, at School Eugene CONLEN, son, age 9, born NE, at School John CONLEN, son, age 7, born IA, at School Rosa CONLEN, dau, age 5, born IA, at School I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of the family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Shelley, This is not my wife's line but thought I would try to help find a descendant. Here is some additional information and I hope you are successful: Mary Conlan married Matthew Hayden about 1882. Matthew was born in New York and is listed in 1880 on the same page as the Conlan family with the O'Neill family. His relationship is nephew. He is also listed in Dodge, Nebraska in 1880 with Mary's brother James Conlan. They are shown as living in a boarding house. Mary (don't know where Matthew was), is listed with her first three children in the Iowa 1885 census next to her father in Monona County. In 1900 she and Matthew with their children are living in Sioux City. Their son named Matthew Harold Hayden was born January 19, 1900. He registered with the draft in 1918 and listed his father as next of kin. In the 1930 census Mary (widowed), and her youngest daughter Tess are living with her son in Sioux City. He is newly married (wife's name is Goldie) but has no children. The family was living in Perry Co., IA in 1900 and had children: Katherine, 18, NE; Eugene, 16, NE; Elizabeth, 15; Mary, 13; Barbara, 11; Margaret, 8; Loretta, 6; and Matthew. Matthew's brother James Hayden is living with the family. They were still in Perry in 1910. Tess (Theresa, 8) is listed. Katherine, Elizabeth and Mary are not.
