I'm sorry for not answering any quicker, but I have had quite a year and am now trying to get my mother moved from another state to Denver so that I can look after her.I am moving her to an assisted living facililty. I really wish I knew more about the Hession family.My husband knew a great deal but sadly it went with him when he died.I know my father-in-law had it researched years ago while he was in Ireland and there wasn't a lot that came from that research.This Hession family owned a pottery factory in Ireland and there is supposedly another business in the middle of town that is owned by this family.I can give you some names and hope I don't make it to confusing.My husband was John Richard, son of John Joseph and Sara A. McGonigle.John Joseph was born in Yonkers, NY on October 5, 1902.He had sisters by the name of Nora and May Rice Hession and a brother named Frank who passed away in the early 40's from a kidney disease.
May never married and was a school teacher in
Bedford-Styvasant(sp) NY.Nora married and had two children.Her last name was Steinman.However all of these Hessions have passed away.Their father's name was Michael Joseph Hession, born in Tuam.I don't know a lot from there, but if you want me to go through some of my stuff I might be able to come up with some more.There are some English relatives, etc.I would be happy to share whatever I have.But with the year I've had, it could take a while to scour it up. There is one Hession by the name of Fannie and I can't remember where she ranks in the family, but I have her picture on my wall.I'd have to go back and look all this up.I am not familiar with the term victualer.Could you explain.I would have to go back to see if my Hessions are related to yours, but some of the names seem familiar to me.If you would send me your address I would be happy to send what I find. Waiting to hear from you.
