Hi Patty, My apologies for taking so long to respond to your reply. Sometime I just don't know where the time goes. Unfortunately, the only information I have is what I posted about John Brazill, his wife Mary Shanahan and their children........some who married my Mason ancestors. So, until I research further, I'll just keep your information and touch base with you another time. Thanks for your reply.

The family farm is near the town of Broadford and it was originally farmed by William and Hanna Maloney Shanahan in the early 1800's. They had ten children, three settled in MN and six in ILL, and one stayed in Ire on the farm. If any of this information is familiar to you, or you would like more, please feel free to email me. patty ==== IRL-CLARE Mailing List ==== If you just want to subscribe to this list or unsubscribe from it, send e-mail to IRL-CLARE-L-request@rootsweb.com or (for the digest list) IRL-CLARE-D-request@rootsweb.com and put the word subscribe or unsubscribe in the message body.
