Between 1830 and 1838 born in Ireland parents unknown at this time. 

The 1870 census has him 32 years old while the 1880 census has him at 50 years old. 

Same family members listed so is the same family.

abt 1850 or so arrived in the United States. Would think he arrived through New York. Would be about 20 years when he arrived if this is true. This is when most of the Irish came to the United States. Most arrived between 1849 and 1851.

1866 April daughter Mary born

abt 1868 12 of March daughter Bridget born. Do not have exact dates of birth

abt 1869 December 15th son William born. Do not have exact dates of birth

1870 living in Hamburg, Vernon county, Wisconsin with wife Joanna and daughter Mary age 4, daughter Bridget age 2 and son William age 7 months. Census reports that all children were born in Wisconsin. Mary was born April of 1866 so were in Wisconsin as of this time. Real Estate property is listed at value of $1100 and personal property at $600. Patrick is listed as a farmer. 

1880 living in Hamburg still living in the home is daughter Mary age 14, daughter Bridget age 12, son William age 10 and Kathreen age 7. This is my great grandmother. Patrick is listed as a farmer. 

1895 living in Bergen, Vernon, Wisconsin. Living in the home is 2 males and 2 females. 2 are foreign born and 2 are US born. This would be Patrick, wife Joanna, daughter Mary who would be about 29 years old and son William who would be about 26 years old. Neither ever married.

1898 3rd of January Patrick passed away in LaCrosse County Wisconsin about 60 years old. Wife Joanna lived until 12 of July 1902

Wife JOHANNA RIORDAN

the 1870 census has her at 30 years old and born about 1840 while the 1880 census has her at 47 years and born about 1833. The 1900 census has her born Aug 1833 and age 66. She is widowed and mother of 5 children with 4 children living. Living with her is Mary and William. All 5 children are living at this time so not sure why it says only 4 are living. Is this an error or does this mean she has disowned one of the children. If she did consider one of her children dead it would of been my great grandmother Katherine. 

Son William does not pass away till 1912 and Joanna dies on the 12 of July 1902. This is a mystery to me. 

To do list on both Patrick and Joanna

death certificate for Patrick 

death certificate for wife Joanna

Where are Patrick and Joanna buried?

 I know that son William buried the Catholic Cemetery in LaCrosse Wisconsin. Daughter Bridget and Bridget's husband buried there also. Location of Cemetery is 519 Losey Blvd South LaCrosse Wisconsin

When did Patrick come to the US and who with

When did Joanna come to the US and who with

1860 census Annsville, Oneida, New York there is listed 

Patrick Gallagher 30 years old making his year of birth about 1830

Joanna Gallagher 26 years old making her year of birth about 1834

this very well could be my great great grandparents. 

There was a Joanna Riordan who arrived New York 15th of October 1851 on the ship Lockwood. They have her age 18 coming from Cork. This would be about the right age for my Joanna.  Also listed is a Marlin Riordan age 35 years old. Very well and probably is a relative

I know more than I did in 2012 but still have lots of questions.  Still have not traveled to La Crosse Wisconsin.

TIMELINE THURSDAY ~ HARRIET CARPENTER NEW YORK to MINNESOTA 1811 - 1905

For Time Line Thursday I am continuing with Harriet Carpenter my third great grandmother who I posted on earlier today.

1811 December 13 Harriet is born to Harmon and Phebe (Chrisman) Carpenter in Rome, New York

1820 August 7th Harriet is living at home with Herman Carpenter. There are 9 people in the home 2 males 10 to 15 years, 1 male 26 to 44 years and 1 over 45 years old. There are 3 females under 10 years, 1 who is 16 to 25 years old, and 1 who is 26 to 44 years old. 4 persons are engaged in agriculture and 1 is a foreigner not naturalized.

Interesting note is that there is a Fairfax Anderson living with a Abraham Christman and wife Betsey and their family this is Harriet's sister and brother in law. That census was taken the 22nd of June, 1860 and they were living in Oriskany, New York. Fairfax is 11 years old. I think this is the same Fairfax and he is counted twice in this census.

1905 December 5th Harriet dies in Zumbro Wabasha county, Minnesota. She is buried next to 3rd husband Charles at Pleasant Prairie ( Dale) Cemetery.  I have seen her tombstone. Other family members are buried in same cemetery.


This is a good start for my time line on Harriet much more needs to be found and added.

From the first, Connecticut enjoyed a great measure of political independence, proclaiming in its Fundamental Orders of 1639 a democratic principle of government based on the will of the people. These Fundamental Orders are said to have been the first written Constitution of a democratic government; that’s why Connecticut today is nicknamed "The Constitution State."Agriculture and trade were primary activities of 17th century colonists, but because of limited land Connecticut people quickly turned to manufacturing.

Time Line Thursday John W Zion 4x Great Grandfather

I have started to do the time line on one of my grandfathers. This is just the beginning of his time line. I have put this information into my word program and can add information as found or I have time to add. I need to put in information on children marrying, grandchildren being born. I want to add historical information to this time line. I can see questions I have like did one son die about 1805 or is he in the 1820 and 1830 census. I spent time last night at http://www.ancestry.com/ and finding information on his children. I see several different members working on this family line and hope to get in contact with them in the future.

I hope that as I work on this I can bring John back to life, what was happening in his world. I am hoping that this will be of interest to other family members that do not share my interest of getting to know our ancestors.

I have started with the Zion line. This is my maiden name, my father's name. We know nothing of this line after they came to the United States. I put the name Zion in a search information and found information I knew and some I did not know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zion. I knew the name Zion was a Hebrew word but did not know the name Zion appears 154 times in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).

My family practiced Christianity in the US. I would love to find the family before this time and see if they were of the Jewish faith. So many questions to ponder and search for.

One birthday my sister gave me a great gift. She bought me a certificate that has the Family Name History of the Zion name. It is from a Historical Research Center. I have framed it and it hangs on a wall in my sun room. It has that the Zion name is a Polish name. We have always associated with family coming from Germany and being of German heritage not Polish heritage.
