She was b. DEc.25. 1850 the date varies.She is seen in 1880 census working for a family as a live in house servant. Her soon to be husband was a farm hand.She married in 1882 in Stockbridge in FEb.and also recorded in Sept. in Lee. The Lee record said parents were William and Mary.She was b. Ireland.The Kearin family's I have found do not have these parents. I know she had to have some one she knew or was related too but I cannot find a connection. Her death certificate said her father was John. Her obituary did not mention her maiden name or her youngest daughter so it was incomplete.She died in 1920 in Stockbridge. Any help or thoughts would be a great help.Thanks in advance. Tina Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
