Cork to Ontario-O'Keefe's 1827
I am looking for siblings of Michael O'Keefe. Family legend is that he and his brothers fled Cork County, Ireland after a shillelagh fight in which a british officer was killed. They migrated to Tilsonburg, Ontario about 1827. He brought his wife Ellen and I only know of one son, John(b.1817). John married (c.1844) Bridget Walsh of Ontario and their children include Andrew W.(relocated to Sanilac County, MI), Michael(moved to Galveston, TX), Hannah (Alpena,MI), Ellen(Harrisville, Alcona Co.,MI), Richard D.(Lansing,MI),Mary B, James P. (lived in Minden City, MI, then later moved to Houston, TX)
