County Tipperary |
Researchers have traced the Reagan Family to County Tipperary, and family history states that Martin was a relative of Ronald Reagan. The story is that this Reagan Family disavowed their relationship with Ronald Reagan not when he became a Protestant--he was raised Protestant by his aunt--but when he became a Republican.
Martin Reagan was born in 1832, reportedly in County Tipperary, Ireland. The Reagans as well as the majority of people in western Ireland suffered from the Great Famine. And, Martin immigrated 2/20/1850 to New York aboard the Shennon.
In 6/1850 in Otisville NY, Martin married Mary St. Lebim b. 6/18/1830 County Mayo, Ireland. And, in 1851 they migrated to Davenport IA. Martin worked as a laborer and the family lived at the bottom of Cork Hill along the Mississippi River.
Martin died on 1/22/1863 in Davenport IA. Mary would remarry and live another 40 years. Martin, Mary, and her second husband are buried in St. Marguerite's/Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Davenport IA.
