In Reply to: Peter YORE & Mary MULVANEY - Chicago, IL by Virginia Figura of 89

Hello - my grandmother Mary Yore was born in St.Joseph Michigan in November 1861. Her father was John Yore (b.?) and her mother was Ellen Morgan. Ellen was killed in 1868 in St.J and John married again in or before 1874 when my grandmother went to live with her aunt in San Francisco. The Morgans and Yores were from Meath in Ireland and emigrated about the time of the famine. Benton harbour is near St.Joseph I think.

  1. I live in St. Joseph, Michigan and my husband's grandfather's brother was John Yore. I have a great article about the Davitt's wedding in S. F. and their life, and two books written by Mr. Davitt. He was an Irish expatriot who was even on an Irish stamp. Maybe you know all about this, if not, I will gladly send you the article.
