The Descendants of Michael Kane and Mary Phillips of Ireland: Who Lived in Holyoke, Massachusetts10/12/2022 Michael Kane, the husband of Mary Phillips, was listed as born in Ireland on many of the records, but on his death certificate, his son Patrick said he was born in Clinton, Massachusetts. Patrick’s sister Anne also reported her father was born in Clinton, Massachusetts on her marriage record. And finally, Patrick was the informant on his sister Anne’s death record and said she was born in Clinton, Massachusetts.
Since these were all common names, I was sure there were two Michael Kanes and Mary Phillips living in Holyoke around the same time with children with the same names. The first Michael Kane was born in Clinton, Massachusetts and his children were born in Massachusetts. The second was born in Ireland and his children were born in Ireland. Full credit goes to Maryann Zelenak for solving the conflict. She discovered that Michael Kane and Mary Phillips married in Holyoke in 1872 and then went back and forth between Holyoke and Ireland. Most of the children were born in the Kilmore Erris Parish.

Using 300 year old DNA (actually the DNA of descendants living 300 years after George Bentley Sr.) and triangulation, evidence was found to support the conclusion that George Bentley Sr.'s children were Abraham, Anna, Esther, Isaac, George Jr., Charles, and Betsey.
