Message Board Post:
I received a copy of a antique letter written on Feb 4, 1872 to Felix RANEY from S F
O'BRIEN.
In the letter he talks about "Curnel" James RANEY, and his youngest son Thomas
who got married.
The amazing part to me is in the next antique letter to Aunt Hannah Belle RANEY on March
12, 1890, from John R. O'BRIEN, where he talks about James RANEY who was a cousin to
Uncle Felix. This is quite a find for me.
My gg grand James was son of Jeremiah RINEY/RANEY.
Felix was son of Clement RINEY and Susannah MONTGOMERY.
Making Clement a brother to my Jeremiah RINEY RANEY and Mary Joan (SHEEHAN MOORE)
