FIRST GENERATION

Dennis Ryan was born in County Tipperary near Newport.  His farm was adjacent to his parents farm, and members of his farmed there until his death in 1907.  His farm was eventually sold to pay for medical bills resulting from his stay in a Dubuque hospital. 

Mary Ann Hines Ryan married into the Ryan family in Allamakee County, Iowa.  We have written about this family several times in the past.  This is the first time we have assembled the obituaries, which tells us the migration this family made since Dennis's death in 1907.

The Hines family was a neighboring family in Union Prairie township to the Dennis Ryan and James Ryan families.  Later we saw Clara Hines, a relative to Mary Ann Hines, living next to Daniel Ryan in Oklahoma.

Two articles that gives more information about this family include:

Union Prairie Cemetery

Dennis Ryan Will & Testament, etc.
