Hi. My G-GMother was Bridget Collins who married
Daniel O'Rourke ca. 1866. They were in the Middletown, NY area before moving to Burlington/Hampshire Illinois
area around 1867 to begin farming.
I am also researching another Bridget O'Rourke, who married
John Kerwin. They also farmed in the same Burlington
Illinois area near Elgin.
If you know of any O'Rourkes that left Herkimer Co. for
Burlington, Ill. area -- I would enjoy hearing from
you.
Best regards, Dan.
