Arrived Boston, Mass. on 26 September, 1907 on the S.S. Saxonia. Accompanied by A. Drury. Lived in Phelps, NY where she worked as a maid for the McLeod family. She married George Francis Welch of Rochester, NY 24 December, 1912 in Buffalo, NY. She died in Rochester, NY in 1968.

She was the mother of four children: Alice Drury Welch (b. 1914), James Francis Welch (b. 1915), Eleanor Margaret Welch (b. 1916), and Joan Mary Welch (b. 1925). In between the births of Eleanor and Joanie she contracted blood poisoning and was semi-invalided for the rest of her life. She was a fantastic seamstress, cook, quilter, and needleworker. She had a great sense of humor and a fiery temper. She had a hard life but I never heard her complain. Her greatest wish was that she could have seen what her mother looked like. She never stopped missing Ireland.

She was described as a great beauty. I only have a photo of her when she was elderly, but given that my mother Joan was a great beauty I have no doubt. Grandma's hair was auburn. Mom's was jet black.
