The Mystery of Edward Finnell

 

In the St Patrick Catholic Church Cemetery at Kickapoo, Illinois is a Tombstone that reads:

 

Edward Finnell, son of J. & B. Finnell; died 11 Oct 1857; aged 20 years

 

He was buried close to the burials of the Michael Finnell Family, also buried in this Cemetery. The Family story was that he arrived in Kickapoo shortly before 11 Oct 1857 and being very sick and incaherant he was unable to give much information about himself or his Family.

 

It would be of great interest to discover the family connection for Edward. It is probable that he is a part of the New York Irish Finnell Families who arrive in New York  about 1850. It is known that Michael Finnell and his Family emigrated  from Ireland to New York and shortly after 1850 arrived in Illinois as Farmers. Though Edward  left no known descendants that we know of, he was a part of a family that may be looking for a lost member who died on their migration west.
