My GG Grandmother was from Kells County Meath Ireland:

Immigrated from Kells, County Meath {Meeth}, Ireland. Arrived in New York, NY in May 1863. Left New York, NY on January 13, 1864 by ship to the Ismus of Panama. From this location she rode a mule across to the Pacific Ocean. Boarded another ship and arrived in San Francisco, CA on February 8, 1864.

Rose may have traveled to the U.S. with other family members.

Married ******* in San Francisco in 1866.

Since many Irish left Ireland to escape the potato famines and such, it is highly likely that many of those who go will generally tend to be anti-British. This is understandable, but doesn`t in my opinion justify killing of innocent people
