Dear Joe, Believe my Michael Malone stayed in Ireland, as did most of his children. My grandmother Anne Reilly d of Jane Malone and Edward Reilly, m. James J. O'Neill of Meath Hill, Co. Meath, in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan in 1886, and immigrated to St. Louis, MO. She had 4 siblings immigrate here as well, Michael, Patrick, Moira and Katy REilly. Have found a James Malone in Missouri in the 1880 census but can't find a connection. Rosemary Tooey
