Heffron in southwest wisconsin
Requesting information about a Micheal Heffron from Co.Mayo,Ireland. He had 2 sons (for sure) James, my great grandfather, and Thomas both of who were in the civil war 1861-1865.Thomas died at the VA home in Milwaukee and is buried there.Apparently there were two branchs of the Heffron family that came to Wisconsin, one settled in east central Wisconsin and my branch of the family that settled near Mineral Point in southwest Wisconsin.I have been unable to determine if the two branches are closely related.
Apparently both James and Thomas were born in Ireland, but if they had any sibilings or what happened to their mother is unknown.Micheal (Michael?) is buried in Benton, Wi. and James and many of his decendants are buried in Mifflin (formally a town)near Mineral Point.
Any information that anyone has as to this part of the Heffron family will be greatly appreciated.
