Looking for Edmund Darcy of Wisconsin circa 1830-1840's
My Irish ancestor Edmund or could be Edward Darcy immigrated from Kilkenny Co. Ireland in the late 1830's through St Johns Newfoundland. I believe he was born about 1819 in Kilkenny Co. He and his wife ...... Logan were married in Greene Co. Illinois in 1839. They lived in Grant Co. WI later moving to Andrew Co. MO.
Does that sound familiar to anyone?
