Dear Mel
Eliza was the oldest child of James and Mary.
Eliza Slane married Thomas Orr in 1873 he either died or divorced.She married Louis Fischer later.I have not researched the brothers and sisters.I know that James, Jr. married Elizabeth Evans.They had a son Archie Dayton, who had a daughter Audrey.Audrey married a Driscoll and had a daughter Cheryll Driscoll Tate.Audrey told me that James was born in Ireland, to a James T. and Ellen Slane.They were from Tievenarvarnog (placename), County Fermanagh.There were two other sons Patrick and William.James and Mary Ellen Long were married in Ireland and emigrated in 1850.They always lived in Limestone twp. on Lincoln Ave.Mary and Daniel died as children.John (my grandfather) married Violet Hopwood They had eight children: Earl, Thomas, Arthur (Edna), Edna (Archie Mann and Otto McWhirter), Nell (Mel Carpenter and Edward Transinger), Mildred (Joseph Scheerer), Harold (my father)(LaVerne Williams) and John E.(Sarah Vicary).
They were laborers and coal miners.
Peter married Elizabeth ?
William married Elizabeth Conlon.
James and Mary Ellen and James Jr. are buried in St. Marys Catholic Cemetery in Peo.
My grandfather moved to Pottstown in the early 1920's.Most of the family lived around there or close by.I don't think any moved away.Hope this helps.
Sharon
