Re: Neary Children growing up...
The Mary Neary in my line; daughter of Martin and Catherine (O'Malley) Neary was born in 1864 in Geneva, NY and she married Joseph Henry Campbell about 1888 per 1900 census. She indicated they had been married 12 years which would have been 1878. Kids were 8 and under in 1900. In 1910, she indicated they had been married 21 years. Oldest child, Alice, was 18.
What is interesting is how many of the names repeated in the Neary Children growing up:
Mary Alice, John H., Michael, Catherine, Martin J, Dominick, Thomas
