If any of these siblings are in your family, I would really appreciate hearing from you.
Tom was born in 1886, left Indiana around 1904, married in northwest Louisiana in 1915 and
settled in southeast Louisiana by 1920 and died there in 1954. He told his family stories
of his parents, Mike and Martha, being from Ireland. He said they homesteaded land in Clay
County near Terre Haute. He said that when he was about 7, he and his mother went back to
Ireland to settle some family business. He used the surname O'Reagon but hinted that
it was not his real name. There's a possibility that it might have been Cravens.
I'm hoping to help my great-aunt find out more about her family.
