from an email from Dan Boyle-danboyle-danboyle@@swfla.rr.com on 11 Oct 2005 : There is also a Corrigan connection. By 1885 William P. Corrigan, who had married Suzanne Boyle, a daughter Roseanne's son Peter, in Mara was also in Dakota Territory. William and Suzanne settled a few miles away from Cornelius Boyle and Thomas McGrath. This Corrigan family located in Springer Township, Ransom County, Dakota Territory. They lived there from about 1883 until after 1903. (In 1889 Dakota Territory was divided into the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. Ransom county is in North Dakota.) Some of their children are buried in the Catholic cemetery in Lisbon, North Dakota. (Suzanne's sister, Elizabeth also came out to Dakota. She married Patrick Falvey and lived out her life in Dakota.) William and Suzanne moved to British Columbia (according to her father's 1914 will.) I believe they eventually moved to Oregon and died there in Clackmas County. Are any of the current Corrigans researching this family?\

from an email from Dan Boyle-danboyle-danboyle@@swfla.rr.com on 12 Oct 2005 : I checked a few references on the William P. Corrigan experience in Dakota. He filed his first papers for naturalization (citizenship) in Lisbon, Dakota Territory on July, 5, 1884. He got a patent on government land (160 acres in section 28 of Springer Township, Ransom County, now North Dakota on Jan. 30, 1891. Usually the patent came five years after first settlement on the land.
