Peter was born in Ireland 1833 and came to the US. I think around early to mid 1850's
but haven't found proof yet. He married Eleanor Harney in 1859 and according to 1860
census lived in Rubicon, Dodge County, Wisconsin. They had 5 children. Two of which were
John Michael and Edward. The boys lived in Hubbard, Dodge and Outagamie, Wisconsin growing
up with relatives (Canning or Cummings families). John went to South Dakota to squat on
some land in the Milbank, Grant County with a friend Names Calistus Pew. John married
Calistus's sister Julia(my great Grandmother). Peter falls off the face of the earth
sometime between 1860 and 1870. He may have had a sister named Ann. His wife Eleanor
remarried John Kerns and moved to Pennsylvania, leaving her boys in Wisconsin. She later
appeared in Milbank too around 1905 with a daughter named Anna Kerns. Anything ring a
bell???? THanks for your help!! BARB
