Hello, John and Donna. Don't know if there's a connection, but I've been researching a John J. Donnelly, b. in Providence approx. 1839. He got a law degree, then joined the Civil War, and later became involved in Irish-American revolutionary activities. His wife died in 1866, and he never got over it ... eventually moving away to the Montana frontier. Is this a sibling/uncle of your folks? Kate From Jbedard@bedardphoto.com Subject: Donnelly Looking for anything on either of the following Donnelly families from late 1800's Providence County. Michael Donnelly (also seen spelled Donlan) wife ann. Patrick Donnelly, wife Agnes. Any and all help and or clues greatly appreciated, thanks!!
