| Home Page    My great grandfather Danial Cryan was born in
Ireland in 1804. Martin
born 4-8-1823(Baptized 1-7-1824)
   Danial Cryan died march 28, 1885 at Grantley,
located in Osnabruck township,Stormont county
Ontario Canada. Not far from Chesterville)
John Died in Glasgow Scotland in 1877......    John married Mary Christie in Scotland (1859)?
in the district of Abbey the Bura`h of Paisley,
It gives the date as 24th day of october
1859,
John is listed as 26 yrs old and mary 22.There
address is the same-at 26 Castle street,Paisley. John is said to be a
Iron miner and Mary a Mill worker. John`s parents are Danial Cryan (farmer)and Margaret
Cryan Maiden name McDonagh. John Conlon was witness for John, and Mary
Breedley For Mary.The priests name was Hugh
Gallaghor. Mary born-6-15-1860.. Margaret born 3-5-1862.. Danial born 12-12-1863.. Place of birth or baptism- High church,paisley.. Patrick born 3-17-1866 at New Kilpatrick,Dunbarton,Scotland. Henry born 3-25-1868.. John born 4-25-1870..both at high Church Paisley.. Catherine Born 8-27-1872 at high-low-middle churches-Paisley..    In a 1921 probate will of one of John and Martin`s half brothers (danial`s sons) in North Dakota Sargent county..it mention an older son of John`s named Martin,born in 1854?? Also it lists Margaret "Cryan" Chapman--living in Glasgow-- Mary "Cryan Quin at Cordonal Glasgow Scotland.. Danial Cryan at Paisley.. Henry Cryan living in Southport England Patrick at Paisley....   Martin Cryan (Danial`s other son born in Ire 1823) I am not sure who he married,There was a Martin Cryan who married Maria Conlon (1839) in Sligo, Aghanach Ire, R.C. and also a Martin Cryan (1849) in Old Monkland, Lanark Scotland married Mary Lennochan or Leonard... Most of the information I got about the Cryan`s was at the family history center LDS (mormon church) but also other sources... The information I got about Martin`s children was mainly from that 1921 probate will, which I mention earlier,,, John
Cryan Born about 1853-- in Maryhill,Glasgow. Scot. Michael born about1857 in Scotland... I believe- In 1921 he was in San Francisco California.--- Martin Cryan Jr. born abt.1861 in Scotland? In 1921 he was also in San Francisco------ Mary Cryan born 1864 in Scotland? She married a McGovern and lived in Joliet Illinois in 1921 Martin (Danial`s son) Landed In New York in May 1874
The next record I have of him is when he filed a
letter of intent to become a citizen, 11- 13-1882 in
Richland Co. North Dakota... He signed with an X and
his half brother "Austin Cryan" was Wittness,,. Martin Farmed in Marbo twshp-- Sargent county N.Dak. Back to Danial Cryan and wife Margaret, For what ever reason, Danial Left Ireland in 1830,or there about`s. I would imagine Margaret went with him, unless some thing had happen to her,and he remarried.But I assume she joined him on the ocean voyage,but the two son`s stayed behind (John and Martin also a daughter I later discovered.. "Margaret") Martin would have been 7 yrs old at that time. christened 1-7-1824 Margaret christened 12-26-1826 John christened 9-7-1829 This information from the Boyle "Roscommon" R.C. parish records.. Maybe the chance came for them to leave for Canada, and they
figured the trip to be to dangerous to for these
young boy`s.. and daughter.. The next record I have of Danial is when he was in a land dispute (yr.1840) in Ontario Canada,Dundas county,Matilda twshp ,enumeration district 1, concession or range 2,lot or part of lot 3,. He was to live at that site for twenty year`s or more with his family, He built a log cabin there in 1850..., on that site.. The dispute was with a John P Chrysler on one side and John Young, Michael McLaughlan, and Danial Cryan on the other,. A Fredrick Kintner was also in on
it,he and Danial divided a parcel of land,. In the census records of Canada I have seen the Cryan name spelled differrent ways--Cryne and also Croyne, but I`m sure there all the same because of the children`s names and dates of birth. In The 1851 census of Matilda twnshp. Dundas Co. Ontario Canada Enumeration district 1, this is the way there listed. |

The fllowing information I got from the great Grand Daughter of Charles Devaull, Tammy Tjaden.. Charles Devaull married Mary Maczkowicz Cebulski around 1909. (Mary's first husband Stephan Cebulski died around 1907. They all seemed to have had farms in Sargent County ND). They then moved around a bit and eventually ended up in Malta Montana.
