I know of no male Morrisseys that ended up there in Chicago. However, their father was John Morrissey from St. John's Newfoundland. He died at sea prior to coming to Chicago. Their mother was Elizabeth Hennessey also from St. John's. I am not sure there is a connection, but it interesting both ended up in Chicago.
