Family of Timothy J Lynch and Julia Lynch nee McCarty/McCarthy
If anybody has any information on Timothy J Lynch and Julia Lynch nee McCarty/McCarthy or their 7 children, it would be much appreciated. Of the 7 children, I can name two: Cornelius Lynch, M.D. and John H. Lynch.
Timothy and Julia were born in IRE and married in NY, 1862. They lived in NY and Boston while Timothy worked for the Union army building ships in San Francisco and New Orleans during the Civil War. After the war, they moved to San Francisco, CA and then to Chehalis, WA. They finally settled in Yakima, WA in 1878. Cornelius was born in 1874 and John in 1876, both in Chehalis, WA. Cornelius was the 4th of the 7 children.
John married Grace McCafferty and had two children, John Robert and Eleanor. Cornelius married Pearl Painter and also had two children, Herbert and Margaret.
I am pretty sure that Timothy and Julia are my GGGrandparents. My GGrandmother, Ella Lynch nee Hecox grew up in Yakima at a time when there were only a few families living there, and almost all of them were original settlers. I really can't imagine that there were more than 1 Lynch family. I am pretty sure that my GGrandfather is one of the 7 children, but I do not know his name. (It is not John or Cornelius, however)
Any information about WA Lynches would be great, or any information about Timothy and Julia prior to arrival in the US.
