Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Il/Whiteside/10845 Surname: Kane, O'Neill, Riordan ------------------------- Interested in any Kane families in Whiteside Co. ILL in 1800's. Family story is that a Mrs. Kane immigrated from Ireland in 1849, bringing her children, and her O'Neill brothers and sisters, James, Joseph, Ellen, Mary and Alice. Lived in New Jersey for a time. All of the families eventually moved to Whiteside Co. Illinois, between 1855 and 1865. Mrs. Kane had a daughter Ellen who married Bartholemew Riordan. I am interested in learning about any other Kane children who may have lived in Whiteside Co. The O'Neill's were associated with the Catholic Church in Fulton, so it is likely the Kanes were also. All of Mrs. Kane's siblings lived in Newton twp. at one time or another. Joseph and Ellen (who married Edward Coffey) both lived for a time in Iowa. Any information welcomed.
