And now for the Irish bunch

John Cryan lived with his wife, Atty McDonough, in County Sligo, Ireland. Riverstown to Boyle is the Cryan "heartland". John was employed in a bank. One weekend he spent a holiday on a farm and died (bef. 1848) of sun stroke, leaving a widow and 10 children.

Previously, John's brother Mark Cryan, had emigrated to the U.S.A. and had sent for John and Atty's two oldest daughters, Sarah and Winifred to join him in Boston, MA.

Soon after Johns death, Atty and the remaining 8 children emigrated to Boston, MA. They sailed on the vessel, "Epaminondas" and after approximately 8 weeks , arrived in Boston, June 16, 1848.

Atty had a boarding house in Leominster, MA. The family then settled in Eldorado, WI.

This has been one of my favorite families to research because I've met so many cousins online! I have more stories, which I'll add later.

My Grandmother was Gertrude M. Crain Bradley.
