( - ) (Parents Unknown)
Nothing is known about John except except that he was the father of Patrick
and was a native of County Kilkenny Ireland. He was thought ot have been
born around 1784 but this has not been confirmed. It is not known when or
where he died. Nothing is known about his wife.
Children
Patrick (1826-1894) Margaret O'Gorman (1852) St. Peters
Cem. Mendota MN
Bridget ( - ) (No information available)
E. ( - ) William Fewer ( ) (No information available)
Nothing is known about Bridget. Old records appear to identify a Bridget
Quigley in relation to Patrick and it is assumed that she is a sister. There
was also a Mrs. William Fewer that may have been related. William settled
in Eagle Creek in Scott Co. and his wife's maiden name was Quigley. A William
Fewer was listed as residing with the Patrick Quigley family in the 1880s
and this may have been a nephew. There were other Quigley families in Minnesota
by the late 1850s and some of them may have been related. There is however
no evidence of this at this time.
