Sad to say, but my great grandmother would not speak of her father Patrick William Gallagher.I basically have only his name and that he lived in the Mobile, Alabama area.He was Irish (perhaps born there), a Catholic and married to Nena Josephine (last name may have been Buckley, Dunlap, or Baxter).They had four children:
Julia William Gallagher born 1880
Elizabeth Agnes Gallagher
James Matthew Gallagher born 1886
Betty Kathryn or Kathryn Betty
Nena died when Julia was about 9 years old and Patrick made Julia become the mother for her siblings, the housekeeper and cook.
My great grandmother had one more comment about her father, "He was very abusive."
I feel this is why she did not want to talk about him.
