I am looking for descendants of Mary May (maiden name) Ramey. She was, according to various family members, either born in Ireland (County Clare or Limerick) and came to US as a toddler with her parents Hanorah Malone May and Obediah May sometime before 1874, she was born aboard an immigrant ship, or she was born in New York after their arrival. Her parents settled in Lafayette, Indiana, but she married a Ramey and moved to Fort Wayne. She had a daughter named Laura and another daughter, possibly named Mary. I believe there were two sons as well. Her brothers were Patrick and John May and her younger sister (my g- grandmother) was Hanorah Cecelia May Lemon of Lawrence county, Indiana. My grandmother, Mary Gertrude Lemon Hudson, remained in contact for many years with Mary Ramey's children, but we no longer know their or their descendants whereabouts. Any information is appreciated.
