#1 [INBLACKF] Roll Call request
Hi List,
Looking for GG grandparents Daniel Patrick and Mary Ann O'Connell. They
settled in Hartford City in 1853. Not to much known about them. They had 7 children
Patrick born in KY (Dan worked on RR till he and Mary bought a farm outside
of HC) the rest of their children were born in Indiana. They were Catherine who
married a Shea and was known as Kate Shea by family, not sure why that's
important but when she's mentioned she is always referred to as Kate Shea by
family. Mary A., Mortimer called Murt or Morty, John my G granddad, Elizabeth,
Daniel. Looked for Naturalization papers for Daniel and Mary Ann but couldn't find
a thing, they did come to America from Ireland. Daniel Patrick died 9-4-1874
Mary Ann died 11-23-1881 both are buried in Hartford Cemetery after being
moved in 1909 from a Cemetery which is now Hoover Park. In that move Dan's name
ended up being changed to David so his name is listed as David not Daniel on the
Hartford City Cemetery Burial Records.
My family left Hartford City and moved to Florida in 1958 that makes it kind
of hard to run up to the Blackford County Court House and look for records. So
if anyone knows anything about or has any ideas on how to find more info on
Dan and Mary Ann it would be great to hear from you.
All take care.
