John Henry was born in 1860 to John Henry and possibly Mary McKellein or McKittrick, both from Ireland.

Their daughter Julia lists her mother, on her marriage certificate as Mary McKellein who was also from Ireland. Not sure yet if her parents came over together. Siblings John and Mary give the name as McKittrick.
