Owen, Mary, Bridget, and Catherine Reilly (also seen as Riley) were born probably in County Antrim all between 1815 and 1835. It is possible their father was also an Owen Reilly. All came to America around 1860 (plus or minus 5 years). I believe that Mary married a Dennis Murphy and lived in Illinois, and they had two children Dennis (1854) and Rose (1859. Then, Murphy died and Mary married Richard Vaughan from County Cork, and they moved to Belle Plaine, Minnesota by 1861 or 1862. Mary dies in 1914, Rose marries James O'Neill (my great-grandfather) and Dennis, who changes his name to Vaughan, dies in 1914. Owen married an Elizabeth and moved to St. Thomas Minnesota, across the county line from Belle Plaine, in Le Sueur County. They had a son Daniel die young. When James and Rose Murphy O'Neill married, they lived with the Owen Reillys, who by then are spelling it Riley. Owen dies in 1883. Bridget marries a Thomas Kelly and they have a Thomas Kelly. Not sure when she dies, but in the 1880s 1890s. Catherine marries James O'Neill (I think uncle to the one that married Rose Murphy) and they lived in Alton, Illinois until the late 1880s. James dies and she moves to Belle Plaine, Minnesota by 1894. She dies in 1903.
