Biography

Ann (McKeon) McGrath migrated from Ireland to United States.

Ann was born in January about 1840.^[1] She was baptized 27 Jan 1844, based on a January birthday and a search of parish records in County Longford and neighboring counties. ^[2]
Edward and Ann McGrath were sponsors at the baptism of John McKeon, son of John and Mary McKeon, Leitrim townland, County Longford, on 22 May 1873.^[3] It is possible that a relationship existed between Ann McGrath (née McKeon) and John and Mary McKeon. She passed away about 1910.

Research Notes

Ann McGrath, 70 years old, was killed by a falling chimney on 26 Apr 1911, in Springfield, Massachusetts.^[4] This Ann lived with her two sisters, Maria and Eliza, so was not the correct Ann McGrath.
