My Grandfather, Harry Wellington SHERIDAN, b. Oct/1888 in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne, Co., Pa received a postcard dated 1919 from a W. J. SHERIDAN, who was aboard the U.S.S. Madawaska at the time. The postcard was sent to Harry, who had moved from Pa to Detroit, MI around 1910. Until this postcard was recently found, I was never able to locate any other SHERIDAN family members other than the immediate family. Michael Mitchell SHERIDAN, b. abt. 1853 in Easton, Northampton Co. married Ella Jane GARRETT, b. 1862 in Weatherly, Carbon Co., PA. They had (3) children: Frances "Frank" b. 1889 *no children & Virginia, b. 1884. Michael Mitchell SHERIDAN's father was listed as Peter SHERIDAN on his death certificate & mother was "unknown". We do know that no other family (other than their 3 children) came to the Detroit, MI area with Michael & Ella. We also know that they frequently came back to Pa to visit family. Both Harry SHERIDAN & wife Gertrude LUCAS made trips back,to PA, mentioning Weatherly & Mauch Chunk. Looking forward to hearing from you.......... Sandy Lewis
