Nancy m: _____ 1870-1870 Charles m: _____ 1874-? Mary Ann Haggerty m: Theodore Schilling 1876- 1951 1873-1943 John m: _____ 1877-? James m: _____ 1879-? (all named for John Haggerty siblings) d: MN, probably interred along with Margaret in St Charles / St Michaels RCCem, Bayport MN; the family plot contains 6 graves; 3 are unrecorded (John, Margaret & Nancy are probably interred here) & the other 3 are recorded as occupied by: Theodore Schilling, 1873-1943; Mary-Ann Schilling, 1875-1951 & Martha Haggerty, 1870 (infant death). In the 1870 National Census for Stillwater Washington Co MN, it is noted that John Haggerty was age 28, "worked in logging", had $800 of personal property, b: Maine & a USA citizen; while Margaret (Grey> was age 24, "keeping house", b: Ireland & who's p: were foreign b:. They had 2 kids: Sarah, age 3, b: ME & Nancy, age 3 months, b: MN. The 1880 census for Township #125, Traverse Co MN has John Haggerty listed with his family: Margaret (wife), Sarah J, Charles, Mary, John, James & Sarah Gray (sister to Margaret). He is also noted in the Traverse Co land records, 19 January 1884, along with his brother Frank Haggerty as a "homesteader" with 160 acres in Township 125. From a fellow internetor: "This section (#29) is in the far western central corner of MN. It is in Traverse County, Arthur Township. Section 29 is about 4 miles east of the town of Browns Valley (pop 804) which is on the continental devide i.e. both the Minnesota and Red Rivers start here, one to the Gulf of Mexico and the other to Hudson Bay. I've never been out there but I think that its about as flat as it can get. The NW portion of Section 29 is now part of a "Waterfown Area." In the 1900 census, John Haggerty apparently has returned to Stillwater MN from Traverse Co above, was age 58; m: 35 years, b: ME, 1842, parents from Ireland, employed "exploring pinelands", could r/w/speak English, owned his mortgaged house at 1009 South Fourth St, City of Stillwater, Washington Co, MN. She, Margaret, b: June 1844 in Ireland, age 56, m: 35 years in 1900, had 7 kids of which 5 survived to 1900 (lost were probably Martha, 1870 & Nancy, 1870) , could r/w/speak English.
