Jean and Kate: My GGrandparents were Luke "Leo" Riley and Susan MacDonald. Both born abt. 1830 and both from Roscommon Ire. Their know children are: Mary Ann abt. 1852 NY, Catherine abt.1860 NY, Barbara Winnie abt. 1859 NYC and my Grandfather Luke Francis born 1861 NYC he married Mary Ann Coughlin 1889 in Ottawa, LaSalle County, IL. I found Luke"Leo" and Susan in the 1860 census, have not been able to find them since. My first find of Luke Francis and Mary Ann was in 1900 in Ottawa, LaSalle County, IL. All my Riley's were Catholic. Linda Lemons is also researching the Riley family. She is searching for a Mary Ann. Her E-mail is BLLemons@mci2000.com You are right about the spelling of that name.
