My Irish grandmother, Sally Ann Childress
My great-grandmother came to the West Plains, Mo area in a
conestoga wagon from West Virginia in the mid 1850's.
She was said to be from County Cork, Ireland.Her husband
was Charles Brown and fought for the Union army in the
War Between the States.Many Irish were pressed into
service from this area.Sally Ann Childress's daughter
Martha Brown was my grandmother.
However, I am most interested in the Irish connection because
I hope to travel there this summer.Does anyone know of
a connection to County Cork?
