I have searched all of the U. S. passenger lists for many years for my Great-grandmother, Elenor Quigley (18 June 1831, Donegal,Ireland - 10 Oct 1889, Linden, Texas), and only last December, did I find her thru Ancestry.com as a passenger on the "Prudence" of Londonderry sailing from the port of Londonderry to St. John, New Brunswick, Canada on 23 May 1838, with her sister, Ann, and her brother, William. On 14 July 1838, when they arrived in St. John, Elenor was 7 years old, Ann was 22 years old and William was 17 years old. By 1856, Elenor was in Jacksonville, Morgan Co., Illinois, where she married on 21 May 1856 to my Great-grandfather, John Frederick Kesling/Johann Frederich Kießling (24 July 1832, Quellenreuth, Bavaria - 15 Oct. 1892, Linden, Texas). By 1880, the Keslings were in Cass Co., Texas, with all of their children with the exception of Thomas and spelling their last name Kasling; a long way from Donegall, Ireland and Quellenreuth, Bavaria. I now have closure on my search for Elenor Quigley, but not on their children and their children's descendants The following are the children of Elenor and John Frederick Kasling/Kesling: 1. Edward Stephen Kasling, b. 28 Aug. 1857, Morgan Co., Ill. d. 2 July 1941, Linden, Cass Co., Tex. Married Nancy Caroline (Jeffie) Givens 13 May, 1885 in Linden. (My grandparents) Their descendants are the Kaslings of Hughes Springs and the Skeltons of Linden. 2. Mary A. (Mollie) Kasling, b. ca. 1860, Morgan Co., Ill. Married George Wesson ca 1879. 6 children but no known descendants. 3. Thomas Kesling, b. ca 1862, Morgan Co., Ill. No known descendants 4. Isabelle (Belle) Kasling, b. ca 1866, Morgan Co., Ill. Married Will Graham. No known descendants. 5. Maggie Kasling, b. ca 1867, Morgan Co., Illinois. Married Andrew Jackson Nelson ca. 1890. Only child was Andrew J. Nelson (no descendants). 6. Elner M, (Ella) Kasling, b. ca 1871, Morgan Co., Ill. Married William G. (Bud) Kirkland. 10 children. No known descendants except for Cindy Blair.
