Cleary family of Ithaca

I am doing research my family tree and I just learned that my great-grandmother Margaret Cleary-Kirby came to the U.S. in 1897 and her destination was her cousin Martin Cleary's home on Mill St. in Ithaca. She was travelling with her cousin Susan Cleary and either another cousin or in-law by the name of Delia Leary.

I did find a family in Ithaca on Mill St. that was headed by a Martin Cleary who was born in Ireland in 1861 and came to the U.S. in 1881. He had a wife Margaret born in New York in 1864 and they had the following children born in New York:

Mary ( 1891 - ? )
James ( 1892 - ? )
Martin ( 1894 - 1920 )
Patrick ( 1896 - 1970 )
John ( 1899 - ? )

I would be interested in any information on this family, you can contact me by responding to this post or sending me a PM.

FYI. Did you know most Irishmen born in this country are 1/2 American Indian.

It was very common for immigration records to be grossly misspelled and poorly written. We were thinking that as well however she appears also as a witness on my great-grandmother's marriage certificate as Delia Leary. We are thinking that her mother may be a Cleary and they are cousins or perhaps ome other relation through marriage. _________________________ GoKarting: http://www.ovrp.net
