No, I'm afraid I have no clue to which county he came from. I thought relatives said Cork, I don't know. I have no proof. Patrick and Hannah Nora met on the boat in the 1850's and married when they landed. The Dee family came over with the Allen family.
I do know that Patrick had a brother named John who fought in the Civil War. I need to get the records on him which might lead to a clue. I don't know if John ever married. For ten years, John Dee lived with his nephew, John Dee and his wife Frances Mahoney (I believe in Los Angeles and San Diego, CA). John Dee died in San Diego.
I was putting some clues from notes of my grandmother this evening. (My grandmother had a note saying Patrick died while they were living on Clipper street in San Francisco. I found another note saying they lived on Clipper street during the Balkan Wars in the year 1915.) Patrick might have died in the year 1915 at the age of 93 which would make him b. in 1822.
I have conflicting information of where Patrick's wife, Hannah Nora Powers, was born. Census records indicate Ireland. On their son's death certificate, it says Scotland!!
I do have a death certificate of a Martin D. Allen who was the son of James M. Allen and Hannah Dee. He died at 1229 G. Street in Sacramento on 29, May 1937. He was born in Houghton County, Michigan in February 1864. He was married to Susan M. He is buried in the Masonic Lawn cemetery in Sacramento. I have no idea how he is related.
Martin and Michael Dee who also lived in Central Mines during the same time as Patrick might also have been his brothers. Martin was married to a Mary Saunder/Landers in Eagle River, Michigan. There was also a William Dee married to an Ann Daily in Eagle River. Patrick's father MIGHT have been Thomas since Patrick, Michael, and Martin all have sons with the name, Thomas.
The mines failed and the family went to Ohio. The family split up. Patrick, I guess went on to Indiana and son John went to Denver, CO, Washington state and then to California.
Dee is an Irish name. It is derived from O'Dee/O'Dea which stems from the celtic name O'Deadhaichd. (There is an O'Dea site in genforum). I copied a page from a library book years ago that says, "O'Dea: This family of "O'Dea" who are of the Cineal Fearmaic, in Thomond, and of the Dalcassian race, are a distinct family from O'Dea of Slieveardagh, in the county of Tipperary. There is a Dysert O'Dea castle in Corofin, County Clare, Ireland.
