henry & elizabeth
sheridan family
HENRY SHERIDAN ( - )
ELIZABETH ( - )
Nothing is known about this family except that they apparently settled somewhere
in Wisconsin prior to coming to Minnesota. No information is available about
Henry Sr. or Elizabeth and it is possible that they never came to America.
Children
James (1822-1905) m. Ellen Kearns ( ), buried St. Johns Burnsville MN
Henry (1835-1871) m. Rose McCluskey ( ), buried St. Johns
Burnsville MN
John (1834- ) m Mary Maloney (1865), possible burial
at DeGraff MN
??? ( - ) m. E. Carr ? ( )
There is an Elizabeth Carr buried in DeGraff near John Sheridan. She apparently
was born in 1830 and died in 1912. It is possible that this is the sister
mentioned in the obituary for James Sheridan (see below).
JAMES SHERIDAN (1822-1905)
ELLEN KEARNS (1833-1911)
Nothing is known about James and his wife prior to 1855 when they apparently
settled a farm in.Burnsville Twp. The children listed below were living with
James and his wife in the 1880s and they may have actually been the children
of Henry Sheridan who died in 1871.
Children
Mary (1863- )
Henry (1865-1921) m. Rose Kearney (1906), buried St.
Johns Burnsville MN
Elizabeth (1869- )
James sold the farm and apparently moved to Farmington in 1902. He died in
1905 and there is no indication that he was survived by a wife or children.
After his death Ellen moved to Iowa where she resided with relatives until
her death on Aug. 8, 1911. Both James and his wife were buried at St. John's
in Burnsville. An obituary for James lists Henry and Mrs. Rodney as his nephew
and niece. It also lists a brother John and a sister Mrs. Carr. It is possible
that the children listed here are actually the children of Henry and Rose
(see below). An obituary for Ellen states that she left no children. However,
there were two nieces and a nephew in Dubuque Iowa and a brother in law living
in DeGraffe MN. Henry also appears to be a nephew ??
HENRY SHERIDAN (1835-1871) Son of
Henry Sheridan & Elizabeth ?
ROSE McCLUSKY ( - ) (Parents Unknown)
Children
Elizabeth (1867-1882)
Ellen (1870- )
JOHN SHERIDAN (1834- ) Son of
Henry Sheridan & Elizabeth
MARY MALONEY (1842-1886) (Parents Unknown)
John Sheridan apparently came to the United States about 1845 and eventually
settled in Burnsville where he and his wife were residing in the mid 1860s.
At least six of their children are known to have been born in Burnsville.
About 1877 John moved his family to the town of Murdock in western Minnesota.
Children
Henry (1866-1922) m. Margaret (1887) (Buried at DeGraff MN )
James (1868- )
John A. (1869-1922) m. Mary L. ( ) (Buried at DeGraff MN )
Thomas P. (1871- ) m. Ann ?? (Moved to Morris MN ??)
Joseph J. (1874- ) m. Ann Foley (1900) (Moved to DeGraff MN ??)
Mary (1876- ) m. Dennis
McCarthy ?? (1897)
Ann (1878- )
Michael (1876- )
Jenny (1884- )
There was a John Sheridan family settled in Swift County around the turn
of the century. Moreover, Thomas P. who is thought to have married Ann Foley
was residing in Morris MN shortly after about 1900. The children listed after
1878 reflect the assumption that this is in fact the same family. John's
wife appears to have died in 1886 and is buried in the catholic cemetery
in the town of DeGraff MN. John is also buried there but his marker does
not give a date of death. According to his marker, John was a veteran, having
served in Co. K 10th Regiment. There was also a Michael Sheridan who died
in 1932. He was living with his wife Mary at 733 Armstrong in St.Paul. He
is supposedly buried in Burnsville.
