Researching the Henry O'Hara and Thomas Langan families who immigrated together from Ireland (Mayo) in the late 1840s. See abbreviated descendancies below. They lived together in the Highmarket and Turin areas and were joined by the marriage in 1851/2 between Henry O'Hara and Mary Langan. The Langans left for Rockford IL in the early 1850s and then went to Fillmore Cty, MN. The Henry O'Haras remained in Lewis Cty until the early 1870s, when they, too, went to Fillmore County. I have also seen many other families moving from Lewis Cty to Rockford and onto Fillmore Cty. Does anyone know of this migration pattern? Was there an organized Irish community in Lewis in those days? Thanks in advance.
