From my biography notebook:

THOMAS H. HARNEY (1826-1911)
Born 4 July 1826, County Waterford, Ireland, the son of William Harney and Catherine (Mangan), who lived in the Portlaw/Ballyduff area. He immigrated to the US on the ship "Alert", arriving in New York on 5 May 1852. He lived in Ohio for three years, then settled in Iowa City, Iowa in 1855. Thomas became a US citizen on 6 Oct 1857. He was married to Julia Power(s) on 16 July 1855, at Iowa City (One source says 18 June). Julia was also born in County Waterford (1829), having sailed to Liverpool, then on to Philadelphia, arriving 18 Apr 1847. She lived in Wilmington, Delaware for a time, then moved to Iowa City with her father. She met Thomas Harney in Iowa City and married him on 18 June 1855. Thomas and Julia reportedly have eight (8) children, but I know the names of only seven: William Patrick (b.1855); Thomas M (b.1857); Mary Anne (b.c.1861), who married Mr. DRISCOLL of Chicago; Catherine, known as Kitty & Katie (Mrs. Wm H) McGUIRE; James (b.1869); Julia Harney (b.1873), who married Thos. E. MORRISSEY; and Nellie Harney. Ref. Census records, and correspondence with Arlene Pitlick Graham, S.F., CA. Thought to be related to William M. Harney and James Martin Harney, also of Iowa, but exact connections are not known at this time. Ref. 1880, 1900, & 1920 Census records and correspondence with Patrick Moylan. Chart: IATJP.WES.
