Additional Research Notes

Notes from Suzanne Sayer Crosby: I received a copy of the "The JOSEPH L. WHEELOCK and KATHRYN E. MARONEY FAMILY HISTORY", a 7 page report, unfortunately it does not list an author (Ben thinks it maybe was Kathryn Wheelock) I was given this information on visiting Iowa, on one of our trips in 2000 or 2003. Here is the first page: John Maroney married Mary Maloney somewhere in Ireland. They had six children - four girls and two boys. They came to America in 1864. Dennis and Margaret were born in Ireland, Mary was born on the ship coming over to America. The other three -- John Jr., Hannah and Kathryn - were born in America.
