  • 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.
