There were 8 children: George, James, William, John, Elizabeth, Mark, Mary and Sarah.
Mark Feltus came over on the ship "New World" Oct 25, 1854. The ship manifest lists him as 21. He came with James, a brother I'm assuming, who was 32 and a young man named Michael, 18, also a Feltus, but I don't know the connection. Unless it was William or John who went by a middle name. (the age difference would be right) Mark went from New York to Chicago, to Amboy IL. Then finally settled with George in IA. Mark was naturalized in Dec 1859.
George came over on the "James Foster Jr." June 8, 1857, with his wife Ellen, son James about 2 and a baby boy about 6 mo. I can't read the name of the baby. He died sometime before the 1870 census. I wasn't able to find any of them on the 1860 census. I'm not sure where they were living then. According to family history, they moved quite a bit before they settled in IA. George and James became naturalized the same day Oct 24, 1876.
I have a copy of the marriage license for George and his wife, Ellen, Oct 25, 1847. Bally William Roe Parrish of Dunleckney in the County of Carlow. George's father's name is listed as James. Sarah made her mark as a witness.
