My Irish gr-gr-grandfather, John Keating Nash, emigrated from Carrigaholt, County Clare, Ireland, in/around 1856. He was naturalized in Pittsfield, Il 9/1863. He was born 6/24/1832 married 3/1/1870 in Pike City, Illinois to Mary Ann O'Connor whose family also came from Ireland. She was born in New York City 1/15/1850. Children Thomas Daniel, Mary Ellen Nash Gibson, John James "Jack", Sarah Johanna "Sally" Nash Davis, Bernard "Barney" and Margaret Anastasia. On the 1880 Pittsfield, Illinois census (pg 36) are Michael Nash 76 born Ireland,m wife Johanna 50 born Ireland; 1870 Il census shows Michael Nash 40, Johanna 35 children Bridget 13, Mary 15, John 6, Thomas 4.
