I rarely find a reference to any Stephen McDermott.My great grandfather was Stephen McDermott.He was born about 1810.He married Bridget O'Day, I think in Ireland.I think their first child, Bridget (Delia) was born in Ireland about 1848.Don't know the date or place of arrival in America, however, they were in Ohio by 1852 until about 1857.I think they were in Henry County, IL by 1858 where my grandmother Catherine (Kate) McDermott was born but I haven't found the family on the 1860 census.The Henry Co. IL census of 1870 lists Stephen and his wife Bridget, children:Bridget, Mary, Patrick, John, Catherine, and Sarah. In 1880 Stephen is not listed in the census and Bridget is a widow living with her brother Patrick O'Day in Henry Co., IL.Please tell me where Michael and Miss Reagan married.In what county is Strokestown?Do you think this could be the same Stephen?
