I'm looking for any information on My gGrandfather & gGrandmother. They both came
from Ireland sometime between 1845 and 1864. My Grandfather (Joseph Patrick) was born in
1865 and had brothers James and Charles as well as sisters Agnes and Ella. The lived in
the Baltimore, MD area.
After my gGrandfather died in about 1875, Bridget married a John Brown and had a son
Aloysious Brown who served in WWI and lost his legs there. He was decorated and died in
DC about 1933.
Anyone have any information on any of these people? I actually have a lot of information
on Joseph and his descendants, but nothing on his siblings families. I'm most
interested in Michael and Bridget origins and siblings.
Family lore says that Michael came to the USA from Ireland with at least 2 brothers. He
must have been born about 1835-1846 and is know to have been a tailor in the GAR during
the Civil War. He was mustered out at Ft.Mandan or Ft.Lincoln sometime just before the
Sioux uprising. He died nearby possibly appendicitus or a indian assault.....
Thanks for any help.
