Birth*Catherine O'Hearn was born in 1838 in County Clare, Ireland. Interestingly, the 1930 census record lists Henry Dillon's parent birth place as Clare, Ireland.

The census of 1900 when Catherine was living her son Henry in Missouri gives her birth date as April 1852 and her age as 58. This is obviously wrong since it would have meant that she would have been married at age 13.1,2
