O'Malley in Henry, Ottawa and Fairbury

My gggrandfather James O'Malley left Co. Donegal (what town?), went to Henry, Marshall Co., IL, where he married Eliza Carr (from Co. Carlow) in 1864. My ggrandfather, William O'Malley, was born there 1865. Family moved to Ottawa, LaSalle Co., IL where another son, James B., was born 1867. Family tradition is that James sold Irish laces and linens door to door. Family moved to Fairbury, Livingston Co., IL, where Edward,Mary, Elizabeth Johanna, Matthew, Anna, Ellen Gertrude, Peter Francis were born.

Also in Fairbury were James' brother Edward and sister Margaret (m. Ignatius Heckman). His mother, Ellen Erskine O'Malley, may have been there also.

Would like to share any information on this family. Need to find where in Donegal they emigrated from.

Thanks--Kathy (O'Malley) Strickland
