Well, my sister Daneal is a world of information.She e-mailed me the following....Mary
Here is what I know about Bridget and Jeremiah from the family bible and from Cousin Long John when I asked him for information back in the 70's and reinforced in a book about notable San Franciscans.
Jeremiah was born in Bandon, County Cork in 1842 to Daniel Deasy and Mary Crowley.She had two older brothers Cornelius and Timothy.Daniel drowned the day Jeremiah was born.Mary and her three boys came to the US in 1849 and settled in Quincy Massachusetts.In 1870 Mary, Jeremiah and Con moved to San Francisco.
In 1874 Jeremiah married Bridget Brennan.Unclear whether he went back to Ireland and married her or if she came to San Francisco around the horn and married him in our home town. (San Francisco) Bridget Brennan was born in Limerick, Ireland in 1852.
Jeremiah and Bridget both died in 1928, she in June and he in November.They had 7 children, Daniel, Edward, Thomas, Cornelius, Mary, Kathleen and Joseph.
Jeremiah and his brother Cornelius owned a shoe store on what is now the San Francisco Center (the old Emporium) and he later became an insurance broker.
