Donnellys of DePere, WI
I seek contact with descendants of Dennis Donnelly and Mary Sullivan of DePere, Wisconsin.They were married in Manitowoc Co., WI, in 1858, and settled at DePere.
My ancestor, Ulick Stanton, was a border in their home in 1870.He was born in 1840 in Ireland and came to America, via New York, in May 1865.I suspect he was from County Mayo because family tradition has him living in Scranton, Pennsylvania, before moving to Wisconsin.Scranton has a lot of County Mayo people and the Stanton surname is predominantly from County Mayo.
I have often wondered if Ulick was related to either Dennis or Mary.Do you know their origins in Ireland?Do you know if they lived in Pennsylvania before moving to Wisconsin?
Any clues or tips would be appreciated.
