Sorry - correcting for the dates that Pearl and Mary S. Bean passed away.
Hi, I wish I had more to go one, but here is who I am looking for in reverse order.
Pearl W.J. Hutchins (b Nov 7 1877 (Nov 7 though yrs range 1876-1882) in New Orleans; d. Jan 26 1928 Galveston) is the daughter of Mary Sweeney Bean. Michel Bean was her step-father and I have no information on the Hutchins.
Mary (Mary May?) Sweeney Bean (b. Pittsburgh, PA 1862 & d. Mar 09 1916 Galveston); wife of Michel Bean (married ~1879 in New Orleans) and daugther of
Myles Sweeney and Mary McCarty, both born in Ireland. I am looking for the right pairing of these two and only have the death certificate of Mary May Sweeney Bean to work off of. It stands to reason that at least Mary McCarty would have been in PA to birth Mary Sweeney Bean given Myles Sweeney might have been fighting in the Civil War. I have found the name Myles Sweeney in Adams County, PA going back to 1741, but both Myles and Mary McCarty Sweeney were born in Ireland likely between 1820 and 1845 given Mary Sweeney Bean's birth of 1862.
I would be grateful if anyone think they may have information on this Mary McCarty.
