William and Anne married 1803 at Limerick Ireland. Their son William Frank was married to Bridget ( Bridie ) MaGuire of Fermanaugh County Ireland at Inchgeela Ireland in 1832. James was born in 1833 in Inchgeela Ireland. Cornielius was born in 1835 at Cork City Ireland. The family came to America in 1851 after being sponsered by a railroad. James married Mary ( Molly ) Malone at Manona Iowa in Clayton county Iowa. Cornielius married Norah Hogan at Woodbine Iowa in Harrison county Iowa.....James and Mary had 10 children. Thomas died at age 32 and is buried at Conception Missouri. I haven't found any information on John. Ellen was married to Daniel O'Grady and they owned and operated a pest house near the old Mercy Hospital. A pest house was a place for people with communicable diseases to go for isolation and recuperation. she had a funeral service at Council Bluffs and also one at Albion Iowa.Mary owned and operated a retirement home in Modale Iowa. She married a man named Ryan and had 2 daughters who as of the last I knew lived in the Lincoln Nebraska area. There was a James Ryan from Modale but I'm not sure if he was a son of Mary's. Mary is buried in her Uncle Cornielius' plot in Council Bluffs Iowa. William you know about but did you know that his brother's given name was Leslie Eugene Fitzpatrick. James who was my Grandfather lived in Modale after he married Orpha Jane Ritchison. He later owned a farm at Little Sioux Iowa.Simon ( Sam ) was a farmer at Albion Iowa near Marshaltown Iowa.Lawrence was blinded in a shooting accinent at a still West of Modale. He lived with his brothers In-laws the Ritchisons although they had disowned their daughter for marrying a Catholic. Allie died at age 3 and is also buried at Conception Missouri along with Thomas.Frank lived in Council Bluffs and is also buried there. He was the only one of the boys who didn't have Joseph for a middle name. He is listed as Frank Fitzpatrick Fitzpatrick. I think that they were trying to find a name that wounldn't fit on any official form. I forgot to mention that Molly Malome Fitzpatrick is buried at Magnolia Iowa along with sons James and Lawrence......My name is James Fitzpatrick and I live in Silver City Iowa. The telephone number is 712-525-9064 should you want to discuss or cuss the family.
