General Notes:
from Aunt Kate's letter: Edward could speak French and English because his mother was French. He and his wife Mary came to America just a month before their son Edward James Barry (my GGfather) was born in Brooklyn, NY. After Mary died he lived with son and daughter-in-law Edward and Laura Barry. He then met and married Ellen Wall. She was 34 and he was 60 when they married. He died in 1915 at age 94 and was buried in Morris, IL, in Evergreen Cemetary soldiers circle. His brother Martin is also buried there.
From 1910 Census: On May 11,1910 it says he was 85 and that he came here from Ireland in 1860 (discrepancy).
