    Notes:

    Son and residence in 1911 are a hypothesis. The location is 30 miles from Killorglin, so possible. Other records for a John Leahy at this age are connected to Denis Leahy, so the census record may not be for this John.

    Children:
    1. 2. Thomas Leahy was born in Abt. 1877.


Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Daniel Leahy was born in 1810 in Killorglin Parish, County Kerry, Ireland (son of John Leahy and Mary Kane (Keane)); died on 09 Apr 1869 in County, Kerry, Ireland.

    Notes:

    Based on DNA matches, it is fairly certain that John H Cole is a grandson of Daniel Leahy and Mary Sullivan. Of the three Leahy boys, only Michael settled in Illinois while William settled across the river in Iowa. Michael's age at the time of John's birth is more supportive of adoption.
