Author: History of Grundy County, 1914

Cunnea, James (deceased), who was associated with the earlier banking history 
of Morris, was born in Ireland, January 6, 1810, a son of Patrick and Isabella 
(Brown) Cunnea.  Although the family came to the United States in 1846, it was 
not until 1866 that they located at Morris.  Here James Cunnea with his father 
conducted a loan office, and in 1872 bought the First National Bank of Seneca, 
Ill., and removing it to Morris changed the name to that of the First National 
Bank of Morris.  Mr. Cunnea was a Democrat in political faith.  He married in 
Ireland, March 4, 1834, Ann Glackin, and they had twelve children, eight of 
whom grew to maturity, namely:  Thomas, John, James, George A., Isabella, 
Maria, Catherine and Anna.
