John and Mary had the following children after emigrating to the US: Margaret b.1862 McLean Co IL USA Elizabeth b.1863 McLean Co IL USA James b.1864 McLean Co IL Mary b.1867 Huntley McHenry Co IL (my ancestor) Thomas Patrick b.1869 Kane Co IL Katherin b.1872 Woodson Co KS Yates Center this is why I am working on finding my family as it was said that John and Mary came to the US due to the fact that they intermarried he being Catholic and she Protestant which in the early days was taboo. Thanks so much for everyone's help. Coleen in WY USA Mary Hyland married Millard Filmore Coleman dads' paternal grandfather

The one born 1859 must have died and the next girl born was given the same name. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
