Info on Great-Great Grandparents, James and Mary Brislawn

BRISLAWN, MCGREEVY, MCNAMARA

Trying to locate info on my Great-Great Grandparents, James and Mary Brislawn who came from Ireland in about 1850 to Cedar Rapids and then homesteaded in Prairieburg. They had 6 children, Ellen (my Great Grandmother who married Cornelius McGreevy), Matthew(married Mary Cavanaugh), Elizabeth(married Thomas McNamara), Ann(married Hugh Mccaffery), Ferdinand and James. All of their children went west to Washington State and were pioneers there. The McNamaras returned to Iowa. When my GG Grandfather, James Brislawn came to Iowa, his brother Matthew and Milo came with him. Matthew died after 7 or 8 years in the USA but Milo, I believe, stayed on in Iowa. GG Grandmother Mary died November 27, 1875 and husband James died in February 1879 in Cedar Rapids while waiting for Spring so he could accompany his children to Washington State. They were buried in Castlegrove in Jones County aat the Immaculate Conception Cemetary. Thanks for any information. Ellen Meyer
