     Ellen Leeds was born in October 1838 at County Limerick, Ireland.¹ She married John Patrick Coughlin, son of Patrick Coughlin, in 1853 at New York City.¹ Ellen Leeds died on 19 August 1914 at Hoboken, Hudson County, NJ, Hannah Coughlin was the informant.^1,2 Ellen Leeds was buried on 20 September 1914 in Calvary Cemetery in Woodside, An unsources note says she was buried in St. Patrick's Churchyard in NYC.¹

     Ellen Leeds immigrated in 1847 to New York City.¹
     Ellen was born in Ireland, perhaps Limerick. She immigrated to NYC in 1847 with her parents when she was nine years old. She lived in NYC. Ellen married John Coughlin when she was about 15 years old. In the 1900 census she claims to have had 7 children, but in searching the cemetery records I only found 5.
     In the 1914(?) census she claimes to have had four children. This was how many living children she had in 1920, this included Hanna and possibly William (this William is not the same as her first born who died soon after birth). I think she had another child and named him William after her father). I found a William living in the same apt. house with Hanna in 1917 after her (Hanna's) husband died. Ellen lived with Hanna and James Mckeon after Ellen's husband died in 1892. Ellen Coughlin died in 1914. She is buried with John Coughlin in Calvary cemetery in NY.³ Married name: Coughlin.

     William Leeds was born at Ireland.¹ He married Cathrine (?) circa 1830 at Ireland.¹ William Leeds died circa 1895 at New York City.¹

     The following info is not verified or documented. Catherine Leeds was found with William Leeds in the NYC directory. I am assuming this to be Ellen Coughlin's parents because Jack Gallagher and Joan McInerney (children of Marion Mckeon), said Ellen's maiden name was Leeds, and this family was the only Leeds listed in the directory. Also Ellen named one son William and one daughter Catherine, and tradition is to name the first and second child after the grandparents. I have William and Catherine in the directory until about 1895, they lived on 14th St in NYC. He was a hat maker, after that Catherine is listed as a widow. There is no record of her after 1908.²

In 1677 Paulus is listed as a sponsor together with a Grietie Van der Grist; this could be his daughter, or his second wife.
