Lynch, Henry Alexander

I am interested in learning more about my great-grandfather Henry Lynch's family --born March 1832 in Ireland & died June 3, 1907 in Wabasha Co. of Minnesota (MN), USA.

One letter, talking about Henry's siblingssaid "WM Lynch died in Australia, George Lynch lived in Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada and one son Tom Lynch stayed in Ireland."

According to an inscription on a watch Henry Alexander Lynch was given, he left Ireland in May of 1856.

Henry's father had the same name and was in the 1865 Minnesota Territorial Census. It is possible his wife's name was Pleasant. I do not know where he went after this point of time, or if he died in Minnesota.

The 1865 MN Territorial Census on June 1 lists the family of Henry Lynch, Henry Lynch Jr., Matilda, Mary, Jane and Anna Hadley and George Hadley in the city of Wabasha, Co. of Wabasha, MN. This is the first (and only) time I have seen a name for Henry Alexander Lynch's (my g'g'fa) father. No ages are given on this census.

Children of Henry Lynch Sr.include;

George Lynch, born Jul 1,1830 in Dunnkellan, Co. of Donegal, Ireland & died Oct. 5, 1910 in Digby, Nova Scotia. *

Henry Alexander Lynch, as above. *

Thomas

Mathilda S. Lynch born 1838 & died Nov. 3, 1918 in Polk Co. of MN. *

Mary P. Lynch, possibly born in 1845, in Ireland. She was in Minnesota in the 1870 census but no information found afterwards.

Sarah Jane (she went by Jane) Lynch, born in 1848 , but this date may not be accurate;shedied Jan. 12, 1927 in Tacoma, Washington, USA.*

William Lynch, went to Australia
