Hope it is ok to ask a question relating to my Great Grandmother, Margaret (Gilmartin) Gallagher, who is buried in a Clearfield County Cemetery in Houtzdale. (St. Lawrence Cemetery in Houtzdale.) The only marker there for my G/Grandmother is a small stone with the word "Mother" on it. My great uncle- Edward Gallagher paid for this stone and the engraving. Her husband, Thomas Gallagher came from County Sligo in Ireland and married his wife, Margaret Gilmartin in Houtzdale. The 1880 census shows their family living in Houtzdale and they were all coal miners. There are no other Gilmartin families shown on that census. We suppose that perhaps she came from Ireland, too and all her relatives stayed in Ireland. Would anyone know of any Gilmartins living in surrounding counties in that period of time. Would appreciate any information anyone has. Herman Nagle Altoona

The 1880 census shows 139 Gilmartins in Pennsylvania. The majority are in Lakawanna County.
