Father - Thomas Keegan
Mother - Nancy Nolan
Sponsors - Thomas Tierney & Jane Tierney

I feel confident about the above information even though I cannot for the life of me find where I got it. That being said, most records (including 1900 census and HS) show birth year as 1863.

Good Ancestry Entry

1900 Census - I have no earthly idea why the family is listed as Beardsley...but it's them.
1910 Census
1920 Census - Mae and Winnie traded names? I don't know...maybe she liked messing with the census takers...
