Julia Logan is my 3rd great-grandmother. Per her obituary, she was born in County Galway in May, 1822 and emigrated to the United States with her parents when she was 11 months old (April, 1823), living first in Vermont and then New York. She was married to William Wilson on October 7, 1852 in Manhattan, New York City at St. Ann's Catholic Church. William Wilson was from the Scottish Borders and is noted as Protestant on the marriage certificate. They moved to Iowa in 1855 where they raised 5 children. Julia died on December 23, 1895, and is buried in St. Marys Cemetery in Vinton, Benton County, Iowa, USA.
I have not been able to find records of her immigration or naturalization, however her name and age are confirmed by several US Census records, Iowa State Census records, Iowa State Marriage Records of her children, and Iowa death certificates of her children. Unfortunately I have also been unable to find records of her birth or baptism in County Galway, and I do not have any documentation to indicate who her parents were or any siblings.
