I was so interested in reading your post from 3 years ago! I have heard that story about William selling his farm to my grandfather, Michael Fall
Mahoney, and leaving him to take care of his father's second wife. I was told that there had been a fire in
Texas and all of the court records had burned. Supossedly he started another family in
Texas. I would be very interested to know any more history that you have I can go back to Dennis and possibly his father named Dennis but them I am at a dead stop.
