In the oldest cemetery of the St. Patrick's Parish in Carleton, Michigan, is the grave of Bridget. It is marked with the following inscription: "Bridget wife of Patrick McManis; Native of Ireland,
County of Longford; Died Aug. 15, 1857; Aged 63 years." (There is other writing, but it is unreadable.) Bridget is the mother of Owen McManus and my great-great-great-grandmother.
