I am descended from a Thomas Duffy, b. 1830 in Ireland (place unknown and may possibly have been born in Troy). His wife was Rosanna Fitzpatrick, b. 1823, born in Belfast, Ireland. She emigrated from Ireland with her parents to Albany, NY. They married in Albany in 1847 and her obituary has her husband listed as Mr. Thos. Duffy of Troy, N.Y. They were in the Grand Rapids area of Wisconsin by the time their first child, James Duffy was born in 1850. They went on to have a total of five children: James, George Thomas (my great grandfather), Rosetta (who married Cornelius "Con" Kenevan), Stephen, and Edward. Thomas Duffy died in Fordham, Wisconsin in 1864 and was buried in St. John the Baptist Cemetery in Montello, Wisconsin. The following year, 1865, Rosanna moved to Oakland Township, near Austin, Minnesota to live with her son, George Thomas Duffy. She lived with him until her death in 1896. Of course I would love to have any information about either her Fitzpatricks of Albany or his Duffys of Troy! If you know either of these families, please contact me. I was also interested to see if anyone has Duffy or Fitzpatrick blood who has done DNA testing so I could compare results with mine. I have tested mine with Ancestry and uploaded the results to Family Tree DNA and have it on GEDmatch, as well. Susan Mocsny Thomas
