Ireland, m. Catherine, b.Ny or Ireland abt 1830, Johanna born Canada abt 1846,Elen and Patrick, b. NY, Mary, b. Ohio, John, James, Cornelius,Sarah, all born in Mo. James and Catherine buried in Springfield, Mo. Any possible connection? Only way I can tie them to Canada is Johanna on 1860 census, says born Canada abt 1846. Johanna and Ellen not listed on 1870 census). Parents on 1841 state census Ny states, "Unknown townships, Cavan" Not sure what this means as I can 't find a Cavan county in any of above states, only in Ireland.I, too cannot find on any pass. lists. Think there could be a connectiion? Cathy
