Mary was born to Timothy Bonus and Mary Kerrigan. She had eight siblings, four of whom also migrated to America. Her youngest sister Alice married into the Reynolds family and stayed in Meath. Some of Alice's "Reynolds" descendants migrated to the UK.
In 1888, Mary followed her eldest brother, Michael "Mick" to Hackensack, New Jersey in Bergen County. Mary met John O'Connor there, an immigrant from Limerick. John & Mary were married on the 5th of January in 1890. They had eight children together, including my great-grandmother Mary O'Connor.
Mary buried her daughter (my great-grandmother) Mary in 1951, and passed away later that September at the age of 82. She was a widow for fourteen years after losing her husband John O'Connor.
She is buried with him at:
Saint Joseph's Cemetery and Mausoleum
