Lookig for descendants of Peter Towey died ST. Louis 1893
I am looking for any descendants of Peter Towey (ca1827-1893) who died in January 1893 in St. Louis, Missouri.
I am a descendant of his brother Hugh Towey Jr. (1835-1912) who settled in Texas.
A third brother was Patrick born approximately 1830.According to family tradition Patrick was adopted out - but the names of the adopted parents is not known by me.
I wish to correspond about the Towey's genealogy and history.Hugh and Peter's mother was Mary Geraghty (1803-1887).Her first husband Hugh Sr. (ca1800-1835) died in a epidemic in New York City in 1835.Mary remarried to a Robert Weir Sr. (1808-ca1893) in New Orleans in 1838.They had four Weir children half-brother and half-sisters to Peter, Patrick, and Hugh.
I did attend the 2007 Towey Clan reunion in Ireland and really enjoyed meeting other Toweys.I do plan on attending the next Clan Gathering which should take place in 2010.
My addresses are:
