Michael Barry
Born: About 1839, County Kerry, Ireland
Died: Unknown
Relation to Author: 2nd Great Grandfather
This picture was taken in 1886 in Malone, NY. The 1880 census says that Michael and Mary were living in Moira, Franklin County, New York.
I don't know much about them, except that they came over from County Kerry, Ireland. I don't know when they came over to the US or when they died. Though based on when they had their children, we can say they were alive during the period after the Civil War but before World War I - a period dominated by industrialization, growing progressive politics, debates over recessions and the gold standard and monopolies and trusts.
Michael and Mary had five children with Ida Elizabeth Barry (born in 1878), my great grandmother, being the youngest.
