Personal Notes:

* Thomas CONWAY (abt. 1833-1915) was my great-grandfather.
  Thomas was the son of John CONWAY and Mary CASEY CONWAY.
  His siblings were Patrick, William, David, Kate, John, Johanna, Honor and
  Ellen CONWAY.
  
* Bridget (PURCELL) CONWAY (abt. 1833-1888) was my great-grandmother.
  Bridget was the daughter of James PURCELL and Alice DUGGAN.
  Her siblings were Alice, Catherine and William PURCELL.
  
  Thomas and Bridget were married Feb. 18, 1860 in Carrickbeg Parish, Ireland.
  Thomas and members of his family were employed at Lord and Lady Waterford's
  estate, Curraghmore, prior to emigrating to Massachusetts.  A sum of money
  had been bequeathed to Bridget (PURCELL) CONWAY, and the remainder of the
  family came to East Boston where a furnished home awaited them.

  Bridget (PURCELL) CONWAY died August 11, 1888, and is buried in the Patrick
  MORRISON plot, Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden, Massachusetts.

  In 1890 Thomas searched through "Missing Friends" for some of his siblings
  (from Ballylooby, County Tipperary) who were "Last heard of in 1864 - in
  Blackberry Station, Illinois." Two of his brothers were supposedly in Baily,
  Iowa.

  In September 1893 Thomas married the widow Anna McTIGUE in Mitchell Co.,
  Iowa. In May 1915 Thomas died, and is buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Wayne
  Township, Iowa. 
  

* Johana Conway (1864-   ) (Mrs. John DYER)

* Mary Conway (1868-    ) (Mrs. Walter HAYWARD)

* Annie Conway (1868-1969) (Mrs. James C. O'SHEA)

* Bridget Conway (1870-1935) (Mrs. David H. COWHIG)

  Other Conway siblings were:
