We think my husband's gg grandfather came to St Louis Missouri after 1850 along with 2 brothers and a sister. The names are: David Joseph b. abt 1829 John Malachy born 1840 Thomas b. 1841 Bridget b. ? The name is now spelled Rielley but the story is that is was mispelled on a deed and it was easier to change the spelling than the deed. The family may have worked with horses before they came to America. Maybe came through Canada the story goes. Thomas worked as a hostler and then had his own livery stable and John worked there also. We think John may have worked on the river when he first arrived. If any of this sounds familiar please reply. I am hoping the middle name of Malachy will ring a bell with someone. Madeleine
