Surname Saturday - Dolan (1 of 2)


Jesse Amanda Dolan Bolger


This is the first of two Dolan females that married into Nancy’s ancestor lines.

Thomas Edmund Bolger (1861-1926) married Jessie Amanda Dolan (1866-1936).
They were the parents of Frank Bolger who married Hazel Wilson, the parents of Glenn Bolger, Nancy’s father.
[Later we will see that the mother of Thomas was a Dolan from a different line]

Jessie’s parents were:
Josiah Dolan (1837-1875) married Sarah Ann Dickey (1844-1931)

Josiah’s parents were:
James A. Dolan (1806-1891) married Nancy Harrison (1812-1846)

James was the son of:
William T. Doland (1763-1838) married Catherine Haney (1775-1860). These folks were among the earliest settlers of the Marietta area along the Ohio River, coming from Massachusetts. 


Families are Forever!! ;-)

    1. Irish for sure. Came out of Massachusetts to Ohio, then Iowa. She did not attempt to trace back to Ireland, but no doubt!! Daughters will work on that task, on day. Thanks for comment!! ;-)
