Bernard Molloy and Mary Cannon

 

Bernard (Bryan) Molloy was born in Leamagowra (possibly), and died in Crove, Kilcar, Co Donegal. He married Mary Cannon, she was born in Crove probably, and died in Crove, Kilcar, Co Donegal

Bernard Molloy and Mary Cannon of Crove emigrated to New York, they are in the 1850 census and have more children born there, Mary died in 1899 and is buried in New York, Bernard came home to Donegal and died after 1880, here is an article that mentions him :
 
Steuben Square was laid out in 1827. It stood well out of town at the time and Charlotte Street, which terminates at its northern side, contained only a few residences. It was named for Baron Wilhelm von Steuben, the Prussian nobleman who fought in the Revolution. Our first Mayor, Joseph Kirkland, ordered a fence erected around it and laid out gravel walks. On July 13, 1832, the Common Council decreed that that part of Bridge Street (Park Avenue) extending across Steuben Square be discontinued and the Street altered to run on the northwesterly side; that it be enclosed with a fence and walks made around and diagonally and transversely across said square. On June 13, 1834, the name was changed from Steuben Square to Steuben Park. In 1841, William Begg was appointed park keeper; followed in 1857 by John B. Marchisi; and in 1866 by Bernard Malloy, a landscape gardener. Later the old picket fence was removed
 

Children of Bernard (Bryan) Molloy and Mary Cannon are:

Notes for Edward Molloy :

Despite all his children having been b. in Crove, he was living in Leamagowra at the time of the 1901 census. He was described as a 'Gamekeeper'.

Notes March 2011

 

Patrick Mulloy left his family in April 1877 in Meenavally with the intention of getting set up and sending for them when he had got established. He left Meenavally, Ardara, Co Donegal and travelled to Liverpool where he boarded the ship Balic, he arrived in America on the 23rd of April 1877 aged 35 years old, he had travelled with an Antony Gallagher probably a cousin or brother in law. The next mention I have of him is in the 1880 census of America which states he is living with an Edward Maloy aged 42 years, his wife Maggie aged 44 years and a young John O'Donnell aged 16 years in the Coal Region of Lansford, Carbon Co, Pa. All mens occupations were listed as Miner. Mary Gallagher Mulloy and her son came to join him in 1881. The next person to come to America was Bridget their daughter but I can find no mention of a Bridget Mulloy, I did however find a Bridget Gallagher aged 10 years travelling with a Mary Gallagher, I think is most probable her.

Francis Patrick Mulloy was the next son to emigrated, here is the informtion which some of it was given to Me by his Greatgrandchildren Pamela Reading Mumma and Shawn Reading
Francis Patrick Mulloy married Mary Francis Cunningham Born:  14 Jan 1879, Evishstrabane, Tyrone, Ireland   Died:  13 Jun 1925 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

- (Daughter of Edward P Cunningham 1855 and Mary Mc Hale 1855.)  Here is mention in the 1900 census in Philadelphia by this time he has a son named Francis Gabrielle Mulloy.

Francis P Maloy 28 Born Penn. Parents born Ireland.  Married 1897. Fireman

The next mention of him is a passport Application

If Naturalized give date & location of court where papers issued:- Court House. Drifton. PA 12 August 1871. Going to home 2610 Olive Street. Philadelphia. PA. (Same address as 1920 Census)

Birth Dates for children Francis 13 Oct 1901 and Mary 15 Dec 1902 

Notice the date that Francis says he was naturalised, it is wrong but for some reason Frank lied about the fact he was born in Ireland, I questioned his GGrandaughers on this and they said it was probably for job reason as it was hard for irish to get jobs in those days, they said their Fathers remembered signs up on Buisnesses ''Irish need not Apply''

Here is another article about Francis P Mulloy which was sent to me from his GGrandaughter Pamela Reading Mumma

"Francis Patrick Mulloy was born in Ireland....never Pennsylvania"


It is interesting that the online passport application says that he was born in Drifton, PA. When you go to Ellis Island site and find the trip the family took you find that it says that he was naturalized in Drifton but on the date of his birthday? It just does not make sense.

A good story about the man -

Francis Patrick Mulloy worked in the coal mines until he was 17 in Hazelton, PA area. There was a mine accident. Many died. He survived. But at that point, he decided he did not want to be a coal miner. He moved to New York and worked as a bar tender.  (Not sure how long he stays in NY, but by 1900 census we find he has moved to Philadelphia.) He works for the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. He was very successful in this company eventually becoming Chief Engineer. He was very involved in the fraternal order of the Railroad Brotherhood. He held district and statewide offices.  The trains that he drove were coal-burning steam generated locomotives. He was able to work the Presidential train for Teddy Roosevelt on several occasions when the President was leaving out of  Philadelphia. The one trip that was spoken about occurred in 1902 when President Teddy Roosevelt had to be in Atlantic City as soon as possible. The railroad company cleared the tracks; Francis Mulloy was given a green light all the way, and he proceeded to break all speed records to get the president to his destination. He retired about 1930.

Francis Mulloys wife Mary Ann Cunningham Mulloy died in 1925 and Francis died in 1933. They are buried in Holy Cross Cemetry, Yeadon, Delaware Co.

These ships records - the last one I believe he is going to Michael Molloy based in New York at the time.  On Michaels WW1 draft card it said he was a manufacturer could he be helping James get established and couldn't keep it up because of his illness and the time spent in military hospital and annother thing about Michael he went to America aged 9 years I studied the 1900 census sheet and it said he had been in America for 9 years

Leamagowra Molloys

Message Board Post: from Shiann Skinner, with descendants of James Nulloy, Leamagowra

 

James and Mary Mulloy, Leamgowra

Mary was born in Glengesh in 1800 and her husband was James born Leamagowra 1802.

The oldest record of the Mulloy family in Co Donegal in Leamagowra dates form 1665. Our ancestors rented land from the British Soldiers who had been awarded large plantations in Ireland as payment for war time service. The Irish tenants were taxed according to how many hearths or fireplaces they had in their home, more hearths suggesting a wealthier family and thus higher taxes. On that list are the names of Edmund oige (which means young or junior) O'Mulluog, Donell O'Mulloug and Stephen O'Mulluog of Mulnamyn. It is not known which of these would be our great, great, etc, grandfather, but they are no doubt, part of the clan. It is interesting to note the spelling of the name which is a source of discussion, nay argument, in our family as you will see.

The next record of O'Mulluogs in Leamagowra townland, Co Donegal occurs in another rental register around 1820. There are three Molloys (note the spelling change) men who rented land for H.G.Murray-Stewart Estates. These estate plantations were owned by wealthy landlords of English and some of Irish descent. The Landlords of the irish plantations often did not live on the estate, Rather they rented the land to tenants who were for most part Catholic and poor. There were rental as well as tithe payments payments made and any improvement of their small plot of land, meant higher taxes, (Some things never change.) The result was the continued poverty of the tenant workers.

The Irish Catholic families lived in one room houses, made of stone covered with whitewash plaster or mud. The roof was thatched and the floor dirt, There was a fireplace at one end of the for heating and cooking and perharps a loft for the sleeping children. Families were for most part large and children helped with the daily chores around the house and in the field. Potatoes were the main source of income.

  The record of  land rented to the Molloys read as such :
  James Molloy of Leamagowra townland in Innishkeel parish rented 254 and 1 rood and
  7 perches of 6th quality land, rent 4 pounds 8 shillings 4 dithes, tithes 7 shillings 10 dithes

  William Molloy of Leamagowra townland, Innishkeel Parish rented 254 acres 1 rood
  7 perches of 6th quality land, rent 4pounds, 8 shillings 4 dithes, tithes 7 shillings 10 dithes.

  John Molloy of Leamagowra townland, Innishkeel parish rented 254 acres 1 rood 7
  perches of 6th quality land, rent 4 pounds, 8 shillings 4 dithes, tithes 7 shillings 10 dithes.

Another tithe register, dating from 1833 shows several Molloys renting land in Leamagowra townland. The first names include Patrick 3 times, Condy 3 times, James 2 times and Andrew. It is unclear if they are all different or rented land in more than one place. (The Irish tend to use the first names over and over again making this kind of determination difficult.) Further study of records and a visit with the Molloy family who lives on the original Molloy Farm in Co Donegal help to shape a probable picture.

James, John and William were relatives, brothers or cousins. They raised potatoes on their small acreage in Ireland. A succession of crop failures known as the Potatoe Famine in the years from 1845-1848 and little or no support from the absent landlords, forced many tenants to leave their land. They could not pay their taxes and did not have the means to fight, James, and his wife Mary Gallagher and children journeyed to America and a new life, John also left Ireland for America but his destination is unknown, William remained behind and continued to farm.
                       
 From Ireland to Minnesota

James (Feb 2, 1803) and Mary Gallagher (June 15, 1800) Molloy came from Ireland in April of 1852. There were two sons, Patrick and Big Frank had come over some time before that. Patrick who was born March 17, 1819 was about 32 years old when he left Ireland. Frank, born August 18, 1830 was eleven years younger. He journed to America with his dreams and some dried potatoes eyes to start his new life. When they earned enough money, they sent for their parents and remaining brothers and sisters.  James and Mary left Ireland with seven of their 10 children. Patrick and William were already there. Mary born about 1824, had died when she was 2 and one half years old. Nancy Ann was 29 (1823), Bridget was 20 (1832, James (1835), Daniel  William (15 (1837), Cornelius or Con 11 (1841), John between 7 and 10 91842 -18450 and Susan only 6 (1846). They settled first in Ohio in or near Marietta, The towns of Elizabethtown and Leatherette are also listed as near their first American Home, It was here in America that that our last name began to spelt 'Malloy'. Apparently, the immigration officer spelled it like it sounded since James or his family could not read or write. In 1855 the whole family, save Patrick moved to Goodhue Minnesota in the westward expansion of the country. Patricks story of his time in Ohio is told by his grandaughter, Margaret Veronica Mulloy O'Dea.

Margaret Serence Loughlin (or Glaughin) was born in Ireland. She came to Ohio with her parents and two brothers returned to Ireland after the death of her father died but Margaret stayed living with an Uncle in Middletown Ohio. * A very refined, well mannered, beautiful Irish Colleen. Her family were considered very wealth, had lovely jewelry, silks, rode fine horses side saddle. Margaret met and fine in love with with and Irish peddler, Patrick Mulloy . Being a man of honesty and great integrity, yet this was not a marriage wholly approved by the Uncle. His niece was marrying below her station in life. As tru love runs its course, the young couple began their life together. To this Union three children were born Mary (1853), John(1855) and James Francis *1857). when John was four years old his mother died. He remembered destinctley the casket being taken out of the house on the day of the burial. He knew then his mother was gone. Not too long after this sad event in his life the lonely husband and his 3 children moved to Goodhue, County Minnesota, To this location, Patrick's parents, brothers and sisters had moved before. After remaining doing his best the young father could do with his family, he met and married Julia Lawless Cavanaugh (1825). She was a widow with two children a son John and daughter Mary. To this Union were were born 4 children Margaret (1861) Con (1864) William (1866) and Theresa Ann (1869). The Malloys of Minnesota now, continued their farming obtaining land near Red Wing and Goodhue. The families grew and cared for each other. John Mulloy. Patrick's oldest son told of how his Uncle James ''used to see that their faces were clean and clean clothes.''  James would go onto fight in the American Civil War along with his brother Big William, James would die and William would live but not without heartache, he lost his arm in the war, after the war he was known as ''One armed Will''

Father Michel Mulloy visited John, Bridget and Cassie Molloy in Leamagowra in 1984. They lived on the original Molloy Farm. Part of their house contains the original walls of the one room farm home of the Molloys. He was the the first person with the name of Molloy to return to the farm since the two brothers emigrated from there in the mid 1800s.
