- May have been Julia Murphy (A native of County Wexford Ireland, our subject (Michael Foley) was born Aug 13, 1813, and was reared to farm pursuits. His parents, John and Julia (Murphy) Foley, were also born in County Wexford, and the father was a farmer by occupation. Their family consisted of five children-two sons and three daughters. Of these Michael Foley is the only one who came to America. He made the voyage in the year 1836, when twenty-one years old, and sojourned for a time in New York, where he was employed as a farm-laborer. Next he immigrated to Pennsylvania, and in 1838 came to this county. He located in 1837 in Township Twenty-eight, in the vicinity of Galena, and continued working on a farm until the year 1850, when he joined the caravan pushing toward the Pacific Slope, going over the plains, and engaged in mining in California where he remained two years, and was fairly successful.)
