This where I got to after your previous post -- that Jane Robe must have been Jane Finnegan b. abt 1824 rather than a Brandon, as I was told. But I'm kind of stuck at the moment. This is the family of my mother-in-law, who died more than 20 years ago and was the youngest of her generation. She grew up in Albany, NY, and came west in 1926. All I have are scraps of information and what I can figure out from censuses.
The granddaughter who wrote the 1955 letter was Anna Elizabeth "Bess" Hogan, b. 1882, daughter of William Bailey Hogan and Anna Robe, daughter of John and Jane Robe, all of Albany. Aunt Bess didn't say what was the name of her Grandmother Robe's family; someone else told me Brandon, apparently incorrectly.
I found a William and Maria Terry of the right age in New Orleans on the 1870 census, but you have Maria Finnegan married to Michael Walsh in 1870. I note, however, that she was enumerated in 1880 as Maria Terry, divorced, rather than as, say, Maria Walsh, widowed.
