James Condron Family
I am looking details of the Irish origins of my great-great grandfather James J. Condron. I have also seen it spelled Condren. He was born, according to his gravestone in Connecticut, in King's County Ireland. The 1870 U.S. Census for Hartford, CT says he was thirty so I assume his birth year was 1840 give or take a year. I don't know when he came to the U.S. but he enlisted in the U.S. Civil war as a soldier in 1861 (compiled service record says aged 21 which also supports his birth year as 1840). His Army service record says he was born in "Seven Churches, Ireland". I don't know what parish of Offaly that would be.
James married Mary Eloise Campbell. I don't know when or where. She was also Irish but I don't know where specifically she came from. James died at age 38 of pneumonia in Hartford, CT on 4 May 1878. He was Catholic.
Their children were, I believe:
(all born in Connecticut, USA)
James F. b. abt. 1871, d. 23 July 1884 age 13
Mary b. March 1872 d. March 1948 never married
Rose O. b. 1874 d. 28 Aug. 1889 age 15
Anne J. b. Sept. 1874 d. Nov. 1939, married James T. O'Day
Margaret E. b. Oct. 1876, d. March 1862, never married
Elizabeth b. 1 Oct. 1877, d. 25 Oct. 1960, married Michael Henry Flynn
Years ago I had correspondence with a man in the Hartford area who had a James Condren in his family tree. The parents of that James were James Condren and Ann Kilmartin. I'd love to confirm if this is the family of MY James Condron or not.
Thanks for any help you can give.
