Felix came to USA about 1830 worked on the canals, migrated to OH & married Mary Elizabeth CLINNIN/Clemens in 1842. Stayed in OH at 10 yrs then moved to MN and had land there & farmed. He adopted a son in 1861, John H. DOLAN, from Taunton Mass. or Wisc.
Felix & wife both died about 1890 in Faxon MN

John H. had three children Alice (m. RETTINGER). Rose (m. BOTTER), & son Joseph F.( m. Elizabeth QUINLAN)

Any one ?? Who has a lead on this Irishman?

billgrimes99,
Yes I'd love to have info on Felix Dolin/Dolan.
He came to the U.S., Susquhanna NY, abt 1830, married abt 1841, moved to MN farmed there & died there.
Any thing you can provied would be a help.
One of the big mystries is his son, John Henry. Adopted, either in Tauton Mass or in Wisc.
I think John married a Doheny, am I right?
Thanks,
Sheron97

Here is what I have on the Dolans

Felix Dolan b. c1816 in Ireland d. 07 Mar 1889 in Faxon Twp., Sibley, MN
Married c. 1856 in Taunton, MA to
Mary Elizabeth Clinnin (Clemens?) b. 1831 in Ireland
d. 11 Mar 1907 in Faxon Twp., Sibley, MN
Only one known adopted child:
John H Dolan b. c1855-58 in Taunton, MA d. ???? in MN??

Note: I think Johm may have been Mary Elizabeths son from before her marriage to Felix. I have not pirsued this line of research but she may have been a widow with her married name being Clemens. Or her maiden name was Clemens and her married name was Climmins.

John H Dolan b. 1855-58 in Taunton, MA d. ???? in MN?
Married c1878 in Faxon Twp, Sibley, MN to
Mary Anne Doheny b. 1858 in Faxon
Three known children:
Alice b. c1880
Rose b. c1882
Joseph F. b. c1884

Your message has Felix as being in Susquehanna, NY. This should be Susquehanna County, PA which is in the far NE corner of PA, across the Susquehanna River from NY. MY Grimes and Doheny ancestors from Tipperary settled first in Susquehanna, PA when they came from Ireland. They moved to Jessenland Twp., Sibley, MN in 1852-53. A number of other Irish families from PA followed them to MN. Felix was one of these. The towns in PA were Middleton and Friendsville,
If you have different info please let me know.
