(49,721 posts)She lived in Allegheny County, PA but came from Ireland as a young girl in the 1850's. A lot of Irish immigrants are hard to trace because records weren't kept on many lower class people in Ireland. All I have is that her name was Elizabeth, as was her mother's, and she married Andrew Jackson Callihan.
I have Oldhams on two different branches of my tree. They also lived in Pennsylvania. I have them on both my grandmother and my grandfather's side.
I have a few Cookes in 17th century MA, sometimes spelled Cook, and they came from England.
I recently discovered a few Bonneys in 17th century Plymouth, MA and they originally came from England. There is a Mary, but I don't have much on her - daughter of Thomas Bonney and Mary Hunt, she married John Mitchell .
Most of the information that I got on the Bonneys came from The Bonney Family, by Charles L. Bonney, which is free as an e-book on Google Books.
