Jeremiah Moynahan - The "Millionaire Ragman"

This week I had the good fortune of being contacted by a 5th cousin who is in possession of a treasure trove of archival materials on the Moynahan family. Having seen a few pages, I became intrigued with "Jeremiah Moynahan" who was the eldest son of Matthew and Honora Moynahan and apparently received a "splendid education" in Ireland.

Excited, I immediately began searching databases for "Jeremiah Moynahan" and I accidentally stumbled across a DIFFERENT Jeremiah Moynahan who lived in St. Louis, Missouri and had a VERY interesting story!

Heirs of Jeremiah Moynahan Are Being Sought
