My great-grandmother was Eliza Bohan, who married John Fitzsimons/Fitzsimmons, and lived in Lawler, Chickasaw County, Iowa until her death in 1903. Another sister, Maria, married name Blanchard, lived with Eliza in Lawler when both women were widows. I think the Bohan family came to America from County Galway, Ireland. In the 1860 U.S. Census of Fairview, Allamakee County, Iowa, Bridget's father, "Farges" (might be Fergus but misspelled by the census taker) lived with the Martin family, and a lady once wrote me that he was Fergus-Farely Bohen, and died in one of the Lawler fires.<br /><br />Michael Martin and Eliza's husband, John Fitzsimmons (my great-grandfather) were business partners in Lawler.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680368648426651105noreply@blogger.com
