They are James Kearns: (1) Patrick Kearns - we believe he was born in 1805, Balltown, Mayo, Ireland (2) James Kearns born in Balltown, Mayo, Ireland (3) Mary Kearns, born in Balltown, Mayo, Ireland. (4) Margaret Kearns born in Balltown, Mayo, Ireland (5) William Kearns he was born 13 Jan 1825 in Balltown, Mayo, Ireland. He immigrated to US in 1842 and died in 1912 in Illinois All of the above children of James Kearns did immigrate to the US. I can not find out anything of Williams bothers and sisters or their father James Kearns and do not know the mothers name. I'm not sure if you can even help. Thank you Kearns Descendant.
