I am trying to find the town where my g-grandfather, EDWARD RYAN was born in Ireland, 19 Feb 1842. He came to the USA around 1857. His death record states that his father's name was PATRICK RYAN, mother unknown. I would like to know if there any other relatives. I have seen queries about Ryan's in 1860 time period in Huron County and was wondering if there is connection. EDWARD RYAN joined the Ohio Volunteer Infantry 25th Regiment Co. 'E' 1 Sept 1864 under an assumed name of EDWIND HINDS and fought in the Civil War. He was wounded at Honey Hill, SC. He was honorably discharged 15 Jul 1865. EDWARD RYAN was married to ANNA WALTERS 12 Nov 1865 in Huron County, Norwalk Ohio. ANNA WALTERS was born 5 Aug 1844 in Ontario, Canada or Ireland. I would also like to know who her parents were and any other relatives also information on her correct birthplace. I have a copy of the 1870 census of Norwalk Village in the county of Huron, Ohio. The census states EDWARD RYAN wife ANNA was born in Ireland and they have three children EDWARD, MARY & GEORGE. I also have a 1900 Garfield Twp., Newaygo, Michigan census that states ANNA was born in Ontario, Canada and her mother was born in Ireland. I also have records with different spelling of ANNA's last name WALTERS, WATTERS & WATERS. I have information on EDWARD & ANNA RYAN after they came to Michigan, that I'm willing to share. My grandmother was SARAH RYAN and was married to WILLIAM A. SUMNER. My mother's maiden name was ANNA LUCILLE SUMNER. William A. Paret Sr. E-mail: wmparet@aol.com
