Description: I trace my direct maternal line back to Ireland in the mid-1800s. My great-great grandmother, Mary Diana FLYNN, married Patrick KELLY ca 1850. According to Mary Diana's obituary, she was born in 1823 in County Galway in Ireland. Patrick was born ca 1825 or 1826. They migrated to the United States before 1859. Patrick bought land in Fillmore County in Minnesota in the United States in 1859. My Great-grandmother, Margaret KELLY, was their daughter. She was born on a farm near Chatfield in Fillmore County, Minnesota in 1861.
Patrick and Mary Diana Flynn Kelly's children were: Margaret, Anna, Michael, Peter, Thomas, Mary and Ed KELLY.
Patrick KELLY died in 1893 in Portland, Oregon. Mary Diana FLYNN KELLY died Dec. 27, 1903 in Deer Park, Washington. I don't know the names of the parents of Patrick KELLY and Mary Diana (FLYNN) KELLY. As a result, I don't know any maiden names of my maternal ancestors earlier than the FLYNN surname, but presumably they lived in Ireland. My Great-grandmother, Margaret KELLY, married Joseph Patrick (J. P.) GALLAGHER, from Winona Co., MN on July 27, 1885, in Montrose, McCook Co., SD.
Joseph Patrick and Margaret KELLY GALLAGHER lived in the Humboldt, Minnehaha Co., SD area the rest of their lives. They had two children. Their son, George Gallagher, was born on May 13, 1886. Their daughter, Mary Ann (Mamie) who was my grandmother, was born on Nov. 3, 1887.
My Kelly and Flynn ancestors lived in Fillmore Co., MN before moving to Minnehaha County and McCook County, SD in the late 1800s. They farmed near the towns of Humboldt and Montrose in SD. I would like to communicate with anyone who believes that they may be related to the Kellys, Flynns or Gallaghers.
Surnames: Flynn, Kelly, Gallagher
