Josephine Ryan
Still looking for any info. on a Josephine Ryan.She married Thomas Masterson abt. 1860, and had three children, John, Mary Ellen and Joseph.I finally solved the mystery of where she was on 1870 census (stroke,probably in hospital) and the 1880 census (almshouse on Blackwell island, NYC. died there in 1884). The records state that she had two sisters, and a brother who drowned). I believe her fathers name was John Ryan and they came to NYC pre 1860's from Ireland.Ring any bells with family histories???? Would really love to connect this Ryan line. Denise
