My Mariah Mahon was born Mar 6 1851 in "Ireland" . She had a sister Anna whom also came to America-perhaps together. Their parents were Patrick Mahon birthplace unknown and Julia Keogh who was born May 12 1831 in Baltinglass Wicklow. Her parents were listed as James Keogh and Judy Nolan. Do these names sound familiar to anyone?

The subscription site Roots Ireland shows Maria and six siblings with parents Patrick Mahon and mother Julia Kehoe. The RC parish was Castledermot in Co. Kildare, This parish borders Baltinglass to the west.
Catherine 1849 Maria baptized March 6th 1851 Gerald 1852 another Catherine 1856 (first Catherine likely died young) Sara 1858 Julia 1859 Anne 1862
Parents married in Baltinglass February 29 1848.
The transcription for the baptism of Anne in 1862 had an annotation that mother was deceased. Civil registration of deaths started in 1864.

Thank you very much for the information! I have found 1 more generation for each and am setting up sorting lists. This is Mariah taken in the spring of 1916 in front of her house.
Thanks again
