Thank you for sharing. I have the following:. The boys were first
cousins. Joseph Leary b ca 1847 was s/o Hardy Leary and wife, Selina
Carawan. William Carawan b ca 1850 was the s/o Christopher Carawan and
wife, Martha Ann Patsy Watson. Selina Carawan Leary, Christopher Carawan
and Bernard Carawan were siblings, children of Benjamin Carawan and
Delilah White.
