  	Last name also found as Canfield but appears as Canfil in her son Thomas' entry in the source below. Since his page for the reference. Portrait and Biographical Album of Jeferson and Van Buren Counties, 1890. "Thomas and Margaret Tulley were both natives of Ireland, where they grew to maturity and were married, after which they left the Emerald Isle, and came to America, locating in the Keystone State. Thomas engaged in coal mining for some time and then started westward with the hope of bettering his financial condition. He took up residence in St. Louis, Missouri, where he opened a grocery store, carrying on business in that line until, attracted by the discovery of gold at Pike's Peak, he started for the scene of supposed wealth. He was last heard of at Salt Lake City, and a report came that he was there taken sick and died, but it was supposed he was killed for his team and the money which he carried with him. His widow ever remained true to his memory and devoted herself to her six children, thus left dependent upon her for support. Catherine, the eldest daughter, is now the wife of John Smith; Lydia wedded John A. Leas and is living in Keokuk; Lizzie is the deceased wife of Noah Pritchett, of Cantril; John, William, and Thomas complete the family. Mrs. Tulley came with her children to Iowa in 1850, where she remained until her death which occured some 24 years later. Her remains were buried in Hoskins Cemetery, and a beautiful monument marks her last resting place, erected as a token of the love which her children bore her. She was of the Catholic faith. From FaG
