His business expanded and he became one of the best known dry-goods dealers of the county. He drew trade from afar, and he left his name to the knitting works now owned mostly by his heirs. He married July 23, 1850, Cynthia, daughter of Peter Millspaugh KEELER and Prudence STURTEVANT. She died December 31, 1853. He married April 21, 1855; Esther, daughter of Elisha LARNARD and Nancy T.

(Wallace)Bradley Tyrrell - Grandson of WW Bradley http://www.beloit.edu/~libhome/Archives/acoll/alum/tyrell.html ********* William H. Tyrrell Bio http://www.geocities.com/scarletgen/walworth/tyrrellwilliamh.txt Two children, a son and a daughter, have been born to Mr. and Mrs. TYRRELL, namely: Esther Marina and Wallace Bradley TYRRELL. The former was born October 16, 1896, and the latter October 9, 1883. He attended the schools of Delavan and was graduated from Beloit College in 1906, since which time he has been actively engaged in the business with Mr. TYRRELL and Mr. PHOENIX. He was married on July 25, 1907, to Kate ROOT, of Elgin, Illinois, and to this union one daughter has been born, Katherine Bradley TYRRELL. ************ http://www.walworthcgs.com/BiosOPQ.html See Samuel Phoenix, identifies JJ Phoenix as his grandson "His only child, Franklin Kelsey, was born at Perry, March 3, 1825 married Mary E., daughter of Thomas TOPPING, of Darien, December 2, 1850; died February 3, 1911. His children were Samuel T., A. Melville, Fred S., May (Mrs. CAMERON), Frank, Carrie (Mrs.Edward F. WILLIAMS),John Jay (married Eva, daughter of W. Wallace BRADLEY)." *********** 1900 census states Eva Phoenix had no children. Eva b.Feb 1861, married 12 years Jay J. Phoenix b. Oct 1861, IL Esther Bradley b.

Esther Tyrrell Holmes?? 1930 United States Federal Census about Esther T McDonald Name: Esther T McDonald Home in 1930: Delavan, Walworth, Wisconsin Age: 33 Estimated birth year: abt 1897 Relation to Head of House: Wife Spouse's name: Robert Household Members: Name Age Robert McDonald 33 head, age at 1st marriege 23 Esther T McDonald 33 wife, age at 1st m 18 Marion T McDonald 12 step daughter John M McDonald 8 son, b. OR James B McDonald 5 son, b. WI Jean L McDonald 3 8/12 son b. WI Living next door to William & Allie Tyrrell so they have been married about 10 years, or after 1920 census = 1920-1921 IF she is his 1st wife. Since John M. was b. OR, perhaps was from previous wife??? Children James & Jean close together, so probably children of same mother?? ************** Sorry I don't have cemetery Info, but good bet would be Spring Grove, and you may be able to purchase an index if no one has one, or if the cemetery won't do a search in their records for you. ************ Good Luck!
