Hello, Tim -- Thank you for sharing your discoveries which I'm sure will be helpful to many. My grandfather was born in Allihies area, son of Timothy Murphy (Reentrisk) and Catherine Sullivan (Allihies). "Cate" moved to Fall River c. 1875. By the 1880 Census she was a widow. Surnames mentioned by you that appear in my research include (besides Murphy) Sullivan, Leary and O'Neil. In the 1900 Census my grandfather, James P. Murphy, was outside Pittsburgh on his way to West Virginia where he was an independent oil well driller. ("Above-ground" mining, perhaps) If you have not consulted them already, the books of Riobard O'Dwyer will surely help you connect some of the dots on the families you mention. James P. Murphy Stuart, Fla. -----Original Message----- From: beara-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:beara-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of beara-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, October 19, 2015 3:00 AM To: beara@rootsweb.com Subject: BEARA Digest, Vol 10, Issue 99 Today's Topics: 1. Beara Peninsula Irish to Carmel, Maine (Tim King) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2015 08:24:06 -0400 From: "Tim King" <tking53@comcast.net> Subject: [BEARA] Beara Peninsula Irish to Carmel, Maine To: <beara@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <6E993858598F448E8D27C97B64EA8B12@DebbKingPC> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I found a brief biography of Dennis J. Murphy of Portsmouth, RI in Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island. It is interesting because it also describes the ancestry of his parents coming from Beara, County Cork. Dennis J Murphy?s father came from near Castletown and was also named Dennis Murphy. The notes on the findagrave site says Killlawrence? The father was born in 1815 (again according to the gravestone. It also says that Dennis J. Murphy?s grandfather was Jeremiah Murphy. The biography goes on to say that Dennis Murphy (the senior) became an orphan in his early years, went to Wales to be with his sisters and left Wales for Newport, RI to be with his cousin Patrick Murphy. Dennis J. Murphy?s mother was Margaret Harrington who came from Barre [sic] Island near Castletown. Margaret was born in 1830 (again per findagrave) and her parents were Cornelius Harrington and Margaret McCarthy. Cornelius dies during the Famine and the rest of the family (the biography doesn?t name them) came to the US by way of St. John, New Brunswick in 1847, arriving in Newport, RI. In the mid-1850?s Dennis Murphy (the senior) moves his family to Carmel, Maine where there is a nascent Irish Settlement. The first group of Carmel, Irish Settlement residents were Patrick Murphy, Patrick Harrington, Daniel O?Neil, and Daniel Casey (born abt 1790) and his wife Ellen Carroll (born abt 1785) who arrived in Bangor, Maine about 1833-1835. Patrick Harrington marries Daniel Casey?s daughter Mary Clarissa Casey in 1835 in Bangor, Maine. Daniel O?Neil (born 1802/1804) marries Daniel Casey?s daughter Johannah in 1837 also in Bangor, Maine. All four families show up in the 1840 US Census for Carmel, Maine. Much later Patrick Harrington?s gravestone at Mt Pleasant Cemetery in Bangor, Maine (see findagrave) states that he came from Ereies Bear Haven Co. of Cork, Ireland [sic]. Patrick was born in 1812 and dies 1 Feb 1889. His wife Mary Casey?s gravestone states that she was a native of Castletown Bear Haven Co of Cork, Ireland. Mary was born Jul 1813 and dies 5 Apr 1873. Patrick Murphy is an interesting family. I have very information about him except he was widowed by 1850 lived to be 100 (according to the 1880 US Census for Carmel, ME) and may be related to John Murphy (shown below), or possibly the cousin referred to in Dennis Murphy?s biography. Two families came to Carmel from Cork County by way of New York in 1838 and settle in Carmel, Maine by 1840 including Phillip Harrington (b:1801/1802 Ireland) and his wife Mary (b: 1807 in New York) They marry in New York John McCarty (b:1805 Ireland) and his wife Mary (b:1820 Ireland). Mary is a widow by the 1860 Census. Shortly after 1840 they are joined by several families several of whom came by way of Newport, RI or Fall River, MA. Several of these families came from the Beara Peninsula area (I believe) including; James Sullivan and Mary Hanley (my ancestors), Daniel Harrington (b: between 1790 and 1800) and his wife Johannah Sulllivan (b: between 1780 and 179) and their adult sons Dennis Harrington and his wife Mary O?Neil, and Timothy Harrington Dennis Leary (or O?Leary) b: 1800 and his wife Abigail Harrington (daughter of Michael Harrington and ???) born in 1810. John Murphy (b: 1795 in Ireland) and Mary Ellen Sullivan (b: 1800 in Ireland) A couple of other families came at the same time. William Hews (Hewes/Hughes) and his wife Bridget Milady came to Carmel, ME before 1850 by way of Newport, RI but both were born in County Longford, Ireland. Philip Hynes and his wife Mary were also born in Ireland and arrived in Carmel, Maine before 1850 but I don?t know if they came by way of Newport, RI or what part of Ireland they were born. Michael Connor and his wife Joanna both born about 1800 in Ireland. They are not in the 1860 Census. Later arrivals in Carmel between 1850-1860 include Dennis Murphy (described in the beginning of this narrative), Patrick Bowen, Edward Murphy. I am interested in finding if anyone has an information on the Irish ancestry of any of these families that may connect them in any way particularly the Sullivans, Harringtons, Murphys, O?Neils, and Caseys. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------ To contact the BEARA list administrator, send an email to BEARA-admin@rootsweb.com.
