Subject: [Gallagher] Martha Ann & Eliza Jane Gallager from Donegal Ireland
Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2001 11:08:50 -0700


I am trying to find any information on Martha Ann and her sister
Eliza Jane Gallagher from Letterkenny, Donegal Co., Ireland. Martha Ann was
born Bef 1833 and died 1913 in Pawnee, Pawnee Co., NE. She married
Alexander Craig in 1854 in Jo Daviss Co., IL and had two children: William
Alexander and Emma Craig.

Eliza Jane was born Jan 19, 1833 and died Apr 27, 1907 in Pawnee,
Pawnee Co., NE. She married Seth Criag, Alexander's brother, in Jo Daviss
Co., IL in 1857. Seth and Eliza had six children: William James, Martha
Ann, Mary Jane, Lizzie, Seth Dugry, and Matilda Ellen "Tillie". (Martha Ann
and Mary Jane are twins)

Seth and Alexander are also from Donegal Co., so it might be
possible that the two families traveled to America together, but I'm
uncertain. Alexander and Seth arrived in the Port of New York on
July 3, 1849, on the S.S. Chenango, from Belfast, Ireland with their
step-mother and siblings. Their older brothers were already settled in the
U.S.

Do you have any information on these women? I'm really trying to
get some kind of lead on their parents.

Thank you!
Alicia Neidhardt
