General Notes

Sponsers at bapt were ? Balfe and Mary Balfe

On her grave, her birth date was Mar. 6, 1848 but this must be wrong since her brother edward was born in Jan. of 1848

Phillip and Anna had 17 children.  Place of residence at death was Sawyer, Sturg. Bay, WI.
On the 1870 census, it showed an Anna Kenny as a domestic Servant on page 8, age 20.  This matches our Anna, but I thought Anna was married to Phillip Gillick before this date according to the obit of Anna Kenneys husband, which stated he was married in 1869.  Also on the 1900 census, it shows her married for 31 years.
The 1990 census also asked how many children.  Listed were 17.  It asked how many living in 1990, it stated 11, 10 in 1905.
she came to the US in 1868 according to the 1990 census.
She was 68 when she died.
Her obit in the Door County News, Feb 24th 1915 in the "Timely Topics of Sawyer"  says:
"Mrs Phillip Gillick passed away at 9:00 Sunday at her home in the town of Nasewaupee after a suffering illness of nearly a years duration. Death being attributed to a general physical breakdown.
