Hi everybody! OK, my dad's research trip to the Green Bay Archdiocese Archives resulted in some cool stuff. On this page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mawilcox/asliengm.htm is a picture of my gggrandfather's gravemarker, in the Flintville cemetery. That gave us his date of death, which we didn't have. We found more about our only (so far) Irish line, GARRIGAN. My ggrandmother was Ann PORTER. Her parents were Milo PORTER & Catherine GARRIGAN. Milo was born in Jefferson Co., NY, his parents were Asa PORTER (b.1783 in MA) and Tabitha ? (b.1785 in NY). For awhile the parents lived in Allegheny Co., NY. Catherine's parents were Thomas GARRIGAN and Mary SIMON. Catherine was born in West Maid (Westmeath?), Ireland and immigrated with her parents when she was 3 years old. The PORTERs (elder & younger) came to Juneau Co. (Lemonweir Twp) and were there until after 1873. Milo served in the Civil War as a Pvt. in Capt. Wm. Dawes Company C of the l6th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers at Mauston, Juneau Co. on Oct. 3, 1861. He was wounded at Shiloh, and never returned to his original family. Don't know if he got a divorce, but a couple years later (1864), he married an Orilla Francisca MARTIN in LaCrosse, WI and had (claimed to have) at least 3 other sons by her. That PORTER line looks like it might give me a colonial line! That's a first for my direct bloodlines -- most of my people arrived here sometime in the mid-1800's. It's also my only CW line! (so far) One of Catherine & Milo's children, Susan, married H.D. WHITCOMB, and lived in Oconto Co., all her life. Any WHITCOMB researchers out there? Looks like we're cousins! And did you see the Bulls game tonight? Yay Bulls! Happy Hunting!
