DateCirca 1875SummaryThomas and Temperance Gully The Thomas Gully family immigrated from Nenagh, the county town of North Tipperary, Ireland, to the mountains of Colorado in 1862. This included Thomas, his wife Temperance, their oldest daughter Bridget, her husband John DeLaney, and the DeLaneys’ infant daughter. The Gullys’ four sons and two other daughters also accompanied them. They lived in Blackhawk, Silver Plume, and Central City before Thomas, Temperance and their sons moved to Arapahoe County in 1866 and took up farming and ranching. The Homestead Act of 1862 offered the Gullys the opportunity to settle 160 acres in the area that is now the intersection of Mississippi and Chambers.Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogGeographic AreaDenver (Colo.)CollectionCreating Your CommunityOriginal Material Found in CollectionCreating Your Community Public SubmissionNotesHigh Resolution file not available.
