Enright, J. C. farmer, Watopa, was born in the parish of Newton, County
Kerry, Ireland, June 24, 1834. His mother died in her native land, and the
father on the way to America on shipboard. With his brothers, Mr. Enright,
in his twentieth year, arrived at Wabasha, April 5, 1854. Some years had
been previously spent in Westchester and Chenango counties, New York. His
first claim in Minnesota was near the site of Tepecotah, in Greenfield
townships, where he was engaged for some time in supplying steamboats with
wood. He subsequently spent some years in the mines and cattle ranches of
Montana, Colorado and Kansas. Returning to Watopa in 1870, he settled on
his present farm of four hundred acres, his residence being on section 27,
in Indian Creek valley. He is chiefly engaged in grain raising. Is a
life-long democrat, and all his family are communicants in the Roman
Catholic church. In 1870 Mr. Enright married Maria Fitzgerald, born
Quigley, in County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1839. By her first marriage,
Mrs. Enright has two sons, James, now in Washington Territory, and Thomas,
in Kellogg. Mr. Enright's children are John A., Stephen W., Joseph E. and
Ellen M. all at home.
