Notes:
The family lore on Michael has him jumping ship in Galveston; we have never found any record of him legally entering country, although he was eventually naturalized. He worked on the docks in Galveston as a cotton screwman, so-called because the tool they used to handle the bales was called a screw, a bit like a corkscrew. The bale was lifted to the shoulder and carried to where it needed to be. He retired from the docks in the 30s and bought a small, neighborhood grocery store.
Annie bore her first 7 children at home and elected to deliver the last at St Mary's. Michael reportedly told her that if she went to the hospital she would come out "feet first" and, unfortunately, this proved to be true. Both Annie and her baby died. Michael put the other children in an orphange for a while but they were back with him by the 1920 census, possibly because of his marriage.
Michael's second wife, Fanny disappeared from public records after the death of theiir baby daughter, Elizabeth. I don't know if she died or they divorced.
He married twice more but neither of the marriages lasted long as Henrietta died after 7 years and Michael died 6 years after marrying Matilda.

Notes:
Annie's life was difficult and she endured many hardships for one so young. Her father died when she was only 10 years old and her mother couldn'tt care for four little girls alone so she put them in an orphanage until she remarried. I can only guess that the girls were ill-used, possibly molested, while there. Following her second marriage, Mary Grace Murray brought her girls to Galveston where Annie met and married Michael.
