The Cutsforth Family Home Page

Presently we are researching the Maurice Meade and Alice Breen Meade family. Maurice was born approximately 1820 and Alice approximately 1827. They were married around 1855. They may have come from Ireland to Canada then settled in Galena, Illinoia in Jo Davies County. They also owned a farm in this area.
They raised six children: Annie, Catherine, John, Margaret, Mary and Alice. Annie married a Foley, Catherine remained single, John married Annie Foley, Margaret married a McLaughlin, Mary married James McGrane and Alice married a Fickbaum.

Annie Foley and her husband and John Foley and his wife moved to South Dakota. The McGranes settled in Iowa.

We were told there was a connection between this family and the General George Meade family. We have been unable to find any information regarding this connection. Any help would be appreciated. I am also willing to share any information that I have.
