Lawrence Brennan was born in Fiddown, Kilkenny Ireland on December 26, 1845. He was the son of John Brennan and Catherine Egan. He was baptized a catholic on January 15, 1847. in Piltown Killkenny, Ireland, In the Catholic Church of Templeorum by the Rev. Patrick Dunne C. C. His sponsors were Edmond Brennan and Mary Ryan. He migrated to the United States in June 1869. I do not know what the Port of Entry was, and I do not know why he settled in Brenham, Texas.
He married Mrs. John McGinn on May 13, 1873. She had two children and their father's name was John McGinn. Her children's names were Johnny and Mary Ann, born in New Orleans LA.
They settled down and by 1877 they purchased land on November 11 1877 and started farming. I found that he purchased land seven times. He also sold land four times. During that time they began to raise a family. Besides Johnny and Mary Ann, they had the following children; Joseph, Lonny, Nellie, Edward, Catherine May and James Lambert.
I don't know when Lonny died but he was on only one census. Joseph died in 1905, he was the first to be buried in Prairie Lea Cemetery. I have searched many cemetery records but I cannot find a record of Lonny.
At the time of his untimely death of Lawrence on September 25, 1911 he was a Forman for the Santa Fe Railroad. Even though there is no record of his death my brother Ed N. Brennan told me that our father would show him a spot at the Santa Fe Depot where his father, Lawrence, dropped dead. I searched the microfilm records of the Brenham Banner Press, the local newspaper in Brenham but the issue for that week was missing. I am sure his family was saddened by the loss of their father and spouse.
