    Evidence of his place of birth is conflicting. The 1860 Illinois census says he was born in Ireland, about 1850.

    However, his brother Robert's birth was recorded in 1846 at St. Fiaac's Church, Clonegal, County Carlow, Ireland. Identity confirmed by correct birthdate of 7 June 1846. Parents Joseph and Mary Jolly.

    On 12 April 1848, Joseph Jolly was born to Joseph and Mary. Baptism date is left blank. Although his birthdate was elsewhere recorded as 12 July 1847, I believe this is him and the correct date of birth. Why he cited it as a year prior and a different month is not clear. Did he not know for sure? Did his mother forget it?

    Most census indicates his birth in Illinois

    His 84th birthday was celebrated in 1931, and the newspaper article gave his birth date as 12 July 1847 and his birthplace as "Whitton County, Illinois." There is no Whitton County and the family was known to have lived only in Macoupin and Montgomery Counties of Illinois, though there may have been other locations,

    Brother Robert T. gives their immigration date as 1851.

    Joseph married Eliza A. Bolles on 21 Nov 1869 in Laclede County, Missouri, USA. Eliza (daughter of Reuben Bolles and Susan Lowery) was born on 23 Feb 1849 in Tennessee, USA; died on 5 Oct 1913 in Laclede County, Missouri, USA; was buried in Lebanon City Cemetery, Lebanon, Laclede County, Missouri, USA.
