Patrick Boland resided with James and Margaret Boland Hanrahan in Amboy. They came to Lee County in the early 1840"s. There were two Peter Bolands in the area in the early 1850's One in Amboy and one in Mendota, Illinois. Peter from Amboy went to Chicago. Is he a son of Patrick? I believe he was employed by the railroad. Miles and Mary were also residents of Chicago. Miles has an IDSI# which I can get for you. Can you provide information about Patrick? He was my ggggf and I believe was father of Margaret Boland Hanrahan. He is buried with the Hanrahans in St. PAtrick's cemetery in Amboy. Are you from Co Feackle?
