---------- From: Marykell@aol.com To: PYRON-L-request@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Francis Perrin Heatley Date: Tuesday, March 23, 1999 11:27 PM I know this is a longshot, but I am against the proverbial "brick wall." I am searching for information on my gggrandfather, Francis Perrin Heatley. I feel that his mother's maiden name was PERRIN. Her name was Mary Jane___________Heatley and she lived, at one time, in New York, either Ulster or Orange County. She was born January 1796 and died December 9, 1894. Francis Perrin Heatley was born circa 1830, in New York, married Ellen O'Hanlon (Hanlon) September 25, 1853, in Chicago, Illinois. Francis died September 2, 1870, at sea, on a trip to Ireland. In 1891, Mary Jane's daughter-in-law went to Barrington, Illinois to bring Mary Jane to Denver, Colorado and took care of her until her death, December 9, 1894. Mary Jane was 98 years, 11 months when she died. Could her maiden name have been PERRIN? Any ideas? Thanks marykell@aol.com
