Hi Susan,
My ggrandfather was John Carlon. He and his wife, Ellen McKeon, had two boys as far as I
know. They were John Jr., born about 1876, and my grandfather, James, born about 1878.
Ellen McKeon Carlon died in 1886 when the boys were quite young. I have not been able to
find them on any census until 1900 when John Sr and John Jr. were living in Monson, MA. My
grandfather, James, was married in 1904 and 5 months later his brother, John Jr. died in
Connecticut. My ggrandfather, John Sr. died in1921.
Your story is quite interesting. Do you know if your ancestors came from Massachusetts?
Also, about what year was your grandfather left with the Blackfoot? Do you have any idea
when and where he was born?
I'm hoping to go to Monson and get some records when the weather is a little better.
I'll look to see if I can find any other children and will let you know if I come
across your Philip.
