McNamara and Hayes family
My great great great grandfather was John McNamara, born 1825 in County Limerick. In 1824 he immigrated to the US, settling in Joliet, Illinois. In 1852 he married a Miss Margaret Hayes. In 1864 they traveled to Minnesota where he raised his family. He died February 11, 1899 in Minnesota.
Now I am going to assume someone made a typo error as they have him born in 1825 in Ireland but immigrating in 1824!!!
It could be that he immigrated in 1842? or it could be that he was born in 1824 and immigrated with his family when he was a baby. I have nothing more to go on.
I do not have any other information on Margaret Hayes, other than she was born in 1932, was living in Illinois when John McNamara met her and they married.She died in April 1902, Nininger COunty, Minnesota.I am not able to get back any further than her either.
This may be like a needle in a hay stack. Ireland, McNamara and Hayes! I would appreciate any help someone is willing to offer.
Thank you
Brenda
