Re: John James Tormay
I knew all of them. John Tormay who came from Ireland was my granfather Hugh's brother. He and Anne Tormay lived with Patrick and Margaret Cassidy in Plymouth, PA. They were a childless couple. One of them was a cousin of either Anne Brady Tormay or Patrick Tormay who were Hugh, John, Richard and Anne's parents. Hugh, John and Anne lived with the Cassidy's along with my grandmother Elizabeth Skelton whose mother was burned in a house fire when she was 6mo old. Hugh married Elizabeth Skelton (she used the last name of Cassidy). Anne married Hugh O'Kane and they lived in Wilkes-Barre, PA. They had I think 5 or 6 children. I am writing to Nancy O'Kane Kemerer who is the daughter of one of their children. John married Letitia (don't know maiden name and moved to Yonker's New York. They had 3 children: John Jr. who was the only one who married a girl named Ann (don't know maiden name). They had 2 girls named Patsy and Ann. Berniece who never married and dies in the 1960's. Rita also didn't marry. She worked for the State of NY teacher's retirement fund. The last thing I heard from her was in 1989 when my Aunt Margaret died. Although she lived in Yonkers, she bought a condo in Florida and some land in Maine. I really don't know where she is now or if she passed on. I have pictures of Uncle Johnny, Aunt Letty, Berneice and Rita. I don't have any of John Jr. and his family. Nancy told me that her brothers lived near them in Yonkers and saw them all frequently.
