This family tree has been compiled using Ancestry.com and information found during a family trip the summer of 2005 to Pennsylvania for research into the Deegan/Barry and Wilkes/Kramer lineage. I am researching the Deegan/Barry families from Ireland and Wilkes/Kramer from Germany. John Deegan first appears in the 1870 Titusville, PA, census but I don't know where he was before he arrived from Ireland in 1862.He married Hanora (Nora) Barry in 1870 and they had three daughters: Josephine (Woods), Anne, and Mary and three sons: John P., James B., and Francis (Frank) J. In addition, I'm researching the Lewis Wilkes family from Germany. He was born in the Black Forest vacinity around 1851 and came to the U.S. as a child about 1856. He married (Mary) Elizabeth Kramer in the early 1870s in Ohio where their first child was born before eventually moving to Meadville, PA. They had three sons, George, Henry, and Carl, plus four daughters, Louisa (Louise Nichols), Marie Carolina (Deegan), Lena (Stapleton) and Mildred aka Augusta/Gustie (Custer). Elizabeth arrived from Germany sometime about 1871. I welcome the opportunity to share any family history with anyone who is interested in discovering possible connections.Please contact me at [email protected]
