Photo of John Corkery, Buchanan and Fayette Co. Iowa
I have an old album that contains a tintype of three men: Robert Hanna, John Corkery, and Henry W. Wellman. John Corkerywas born abt. 1860 and had a sister Ella (b.1862)who married William Hamlin. He appears to be the son of Timothy and Ellen Corkery and have other siblings named Elizabeth, and David (or Daniel, depends on the census). This family was in Perry Twshp, Buchanan Co., Iowa on the 1870 census and in Oelwein, Fayette Co. Iowa in 1880. The photo would have been taken in Oelwein ca. 1878/79. I'm scanning the album and trying, as much as possible, to include information about those who appear in it. If you "know" John or his family I'd love to get a little more information about him. I'd also be happy to e-mail a copy of the photo if you're connected to his family.
