Jeremiah Crowley was born in County Cork in 1787. He came to New York and went up into Canada and settled in Prescott, Ontario. He married Mary O'Brien in 1830s and had children Ellen, Mary, James, John Joseph. John Joseph was my great-grandfather and came to Chicago and married Mary Ann O'Keefe. James supposedly worked as a seaman on the St. Lawrence and later came to Chicago. I can't find him either in New York or Chicago. My great-uncle wrote a short family biography, but I can't document any of the early parts on Jeremiah and James. James's son James married a Mary or Margaret Lennon. Any connections? Ideas? Clare
