Martha
Snow, from Roscommon County, Ireland was born around 1834. She
married James
Coyne, also born in Roscommon County, on September 25, 1854
at his uncle's home in Irvington, NJ. His uncle's name was also
James Coyne.
According
to Martha's pension claim papers,
she died on September 7, 1912. According to a 2nd cousin, Martha
was buried in Denville, NJ.
Since 1999,
I have known she had at least 2 brothers, named Robert
& William Snow. I found these 2 names when I received
court papers for James' pension that Martha applied
for in 1909. Recently, before Christmas 2003, I discovered 1more
sibling, named George Snow, from a source on Rootsweb, by the
name of Don Crispien. I also received William's birthdate from
Mr Crispien. But on his General Affidavit,
he states he is 78, which was completed on June 26, 1909. He
might have just wrote 78 since his birthday would be in 2 months.
Their parents' names are unknown, at this point:
William
Snow, born August 1831, in Ireland. Married to Mary
Cree, born Dec 1831, in Ireland Martha Snow, born around 1834, in
Roscommon County, Ireland. Married James
Coyne, (born around 1828, also from Roscommon) on September
25, 1854 Robert Snow, born around
1838, in Ireland (birth date deduced from pension
affidavit - he was 71 at the time) George Snow, born around 1843 ? in Ireland
On July 16, 1909, Martha was 75 and a resident
of Chicago, I believe she moved there in 1898. Her address is
listed as 1575 W (or N?) Madison St. On another document, she
had a new address of 3314 Madison, Chicago.
Her address in 1888 was 154 Halladay St., Jersey
City, NJ.
