A couple of years later, Edward's sister, Abigail Hickey, brought Edward's son, Maurice, to America when she came with her own son, Maurice Hickey.
On April 27, 1862, Edward married Margaret Murphy in St. Clement's Church in Bankston, Iowa. Although it is unknown exactly when Edward died, it was some time in the years between 1880 and 1885. He is listed as married in the 1880 census, but by 1885, Margaret is widowed.
