Dear Union County List Members:
I hope someone on the list will be able to give me some answers. When I
was in Union County three years ago I could not find and the good staff at
the Library could not answer my questions. In reading several posts I am
finding that there were indeed several Irish families in your fair county.
My family (Francis & Margaret Perkins children: Ambrose, Bridget, John,
Mary, Thomas) lived near Clifton and belonged to St. Bridgets. Where in
Union County did the Irish tend to settle and why were they there? My
people were Irish railroad workers (a master stonemason who built bridges).
What year did the railroad(s) reach Liberty or Union County? I also know
that the Whitewater Canal was to the West but it might have been too far
away. Thank you in advance.

My Irish ancestors were Barry, Michael, John . Mary, and Gibbons, Thomas. I
also have a David and Catherine Dixon. I was told that they do not have a
head stone. I do not know for sure. Other ancestors were Fitzgeralds and
Dooleys. Any help would be appreciated, since I live in California research
is hard. Thanks again for your help. Cathy
