Hi Darlene,
The only information I have on Edward is what I have posted. I will be able to research
this summer and when I find anything new I will be sure to put it on this board.
I remember as a small child, when I asked about my Daddy's side of the family, no one
knew anything about his grandfather on the paternal side of the family - in fact - no one
knew his name or anything about him, only that he came to America from Ireland with three
to five brothers and they all jumped ship in New Orleans, or Texas, depending on the
relative one was asking.
In the last year I have found his name, his picture, (looks like a riverboat gambler), a
very handsome man with piercing blue eyes; found a marriage record, and found maybe he was
born in Canada instead of Ireland.
I have no idea what became of him after 1873--1874 time frame. But I'm getting closer
to finding out. Wish me luck.
S.J.
