Possibly sister but definitly not her mother. Elizabeth immigrated from Galway to NY with
her brother Michael. Her brother was married and had a family. I have his application
for citizenship somewhere (??). The extended family moved to MA where Elizabeth married
Matthew Fallon. The the extended family moved to WI.
Matthew Fallon was a stone cutter/mason. Lee, MA had a large marble quarry at this time.
I assume that he worked at this quarry which was beginning to play out about the time he
migrated to WI. Michael Cahill (Elizabeth's brother) was either a stone cutter/mason
or a blacksmith. He could read and write according to his naturalization papers.
