BARBARA (1821-1881) (Parents Unknown)
Michael was born and raised in Crossmolina Co. Mayo Ireland. He was apparently
married in Ireland some time prior to the birth of their first child in about
1846. Nothing is known about Barbara's family. By about 1849 the family had
immigrated to the the United States and was residing somewhere in New York.
It is known that they were living in the town of Lockport NY in 1853 and
came to Minnesota soon after. By 1857, Michael and Barbara were living on
a farm in Lakeville Twp. with their children.
Children
Thomas (1846- ) (No information available)
Michael (1849- ) (No information available)

Sarah (1853- ) (No information available)
Michael disappeared from the records in the mid 1860s and by 1870, Barbara
was living in Lakeville with two of her children. It is presumed that Michael
died during this period and it is possible he died while serving in the civil
war. Barbara died in 1881 and is buried in All Saints Cemetary in Lakeville.
Nothing is known about her children after this date. By 1870 the only child
left with Barbara was Sarah.
