Contributor's ancestors - passengers 133, 134, 136-143 Foley

My grandmother, Charlotte Foley, and her family are listed on lines 133, 134, and 136-143. Mr. Foley, my great grandfather, on line 133, was William Foley and line 134 was his sister Honora Foley. They all emigrated from Mocarkey, Co Tipperary, Ireland, and settled in Brooklyn, NY. Both died in Brooklyn - Honora on 30 Apr 1867, William on 15 Feb 1869. My grandmother's brother, John C. (Carroll) Foley (line 140) went on to serve with the Union Forces in the Civil War. He served in the famous Irish Brigade's 88th NY Infantry Captain John C. Foley fought in every major battle and survived the war. After the war, he married Mary Julia Morris on 5 Jun 1873 and they had one son, William M. Foley, born on 19 April 1874. John C. Foley died on 2 Feb 1905 in Charleston, S.C. My grandmother, Charlotte Foley, married my grandfather, Dominic Burke, stone carver, and they moved to a farm outside Appomattox VA in 1883. They had four sons: Ambrose, Ulic, George (my father) and Carroll. Ambrose, George, and Carroll all ended up in California and Charlotte came West in 1903 to live with my father until her death in Los Angeles on 30 Mar 1914.
