19 St. Vincent de Paul Church (St. Louis,
Missouri) baptism record, 23 Sept.
1874. This data firmly cemented the
relationship between Sarah and Mary.
20 St. Louis city directories, 1873-
1876. Microfilmed city directories
from 1860-1900 noted the changing
residency and migration of Sheehan,
Nolan, and Kennedy surnames which I
marked on an 1878 St. Louis city map.
The resulting plat focused the light on
a subset of St. Louis churches located
near the families of interest.
21 Deed records Houston County,
Minnesota
22 St. Louis city directory, 1876
23 Calvary Cemetery records, 1876.
These records are online at and allow the
researcher to determine the location of
plots in relation to one another.

everyone want to go.

32 Their marriage certificate is yet to
be found. If Daniel Murphy and
Elizabeth Rudd were indeed first
cousins as Irish baptism records
seem to indicate, they likely would
have required a dispensation from the
Catholic Church. It does not appear
that they married in St. Louis. They
may have married at sea or in the East.
