That was the fastest informative response that I have ever received! Now I shall unravel the terrible handwriting. Daniel Farrell was born in Waterbury, CT in the late 1850s. His parents were John Farrell and Jane Conroy. Lizzie's parents were Samuel K. Ford and Winifred Manning, who were married at Pittsfield in 1861. They had about 11 children and Lizzie was the oldest. I guess Fr. McDermott was having a very busy day way back then. He even misspelled his own name. I deeply appreciate the details that you have given to me here.
