I have just received basic info on my gggrandfather, John C. Phalan Sr., born O'faelan on 8/24/1817 in Ireland, died 12/18/1855, probably in or around Auburn, Logan Co KY, since he is buried there.
He married Elizabeth Cornelius (1/12/1822-1/30/1900) on 1/17/1845.
They had three sons: John C. Phalan Jr. born 4/3/1846, married Cornilla/Corilla Bass (born 1849) on 10/12/1871 in Logan Co.;
James H. Phalan born 7/25/1847, married Mary Eliz. Smith born 3/31/1868; and
William E. Phalan born 4/3/1849, married Jennie Atkinson born 6/6/185? (the copy is missing around the edges)
I would appreciate more information on this family. Does anyone know where in Ireland John Sr. was born?
