John Leary was born in County Cork, Ireland in 1820. His wife, Joanna Sullivan was also born in County Cork, Ireland in 1824. It is thought that they were married about 1850. They had two children before they left for the United States.
The two children born in Ireland were John J. Leary born June 29, 1852 and Mary E. Leary born about 1854.
Sometime between 1854 and 1857 the whole family left for the United States. Possibly from Liverpool on a ship called the Tonawanda bound for Philadelphia. I do not know what parish they came from in County Cork. Please help me because I have no more information to give you.
