  • 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, which is why it is presumed that Michael is John's father, but this is subjective and not documented.

      Michael has a span of nearly 10 adult years before he gets married, so the potential for an out-of-wedlock child is feasible.
