Did John have a son named William? Our William came to NJ about 1880 at age 17. He was listed as a boatman and lived in a boarding house. He stated that his parent's were both from New Brunswick. Our William had only 1 son whom he named William Edward. The family story is that grandfather William (the son) was the only child of an only child but that's been proven incorrect. Grandfather also had a daughter, Helen, who died at 12 but was never mentioned after that. Our immigrant William became a sea Captain and there have been ship's Captain's ever since so I expect that his father was a sea farer.

Edna, I have no son William for John & Anna Morrissey. Actually I don't have a William in any of my other Morrissey families. But good luck with your family.
