Hi All: Are there any SHEEHAN researchers on the List?? I know I've asked this before -- but never hurts to ask again.. I'm still looking for more info. on my MARTIN SHEEHAN & ELLEN (O'CONNOR) SHEEHAN family. I have both of their death certificates and his says he died "5 miles - Georgetown Pike." Hers says she died at her home of Greendale'... So, does anyone have any information regarding Greendale in the 1850s and later? I did a Google search, and did find information regarding a Reformatory that was built quite early there. I've been quite grateful for information shared with me by the Dominican Archives, as MARTIN SHEEHAN, jr. was Rev. MARTIN A. SHEEHAN, O.P. and was subprior at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York. His sister, CATHERINE, became Sister MARY BERTRAND SHEEHAN and lived most of her life at St. Catharine's Convent, KY and died there. Four other siblings never married. According to the information I've gleaned, they were a very religious Catholic family. The parents were both born in Ireland. Supposedly, MARTIN SHEEHAN came to America in 1848 at the age of 27. (I've not been able to find the ship record to find out which port he might have come into...) MARTIN SHEEHAN and ELLEN O'CONNOR were supposed to have been married in Jefferson City, Missouri sometime between 1848 and 1856, when their first daughter, JOSEPHINE, was born there. The rest of the children were born near Harrodsburg, KY, the parents having settled near the Shaker Colony in Shakerstown; Mercer County, KY. They then moved near Greendale where MARTIN was a very prosperous farmer. Does anyone have any ideas why this particular migration -- landing somewhere (probably New York) in America, then going to Jefferson City, MO. and then on to Mercer and Fayette Co., KY? I cannot imagine going such a distance.. Best Regards, Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert at iggy29@rnetinc.net
