We belive they lived in Laragh Parish, possibly near Stradone. They had three children that we know of: Philip, b c 1825; John, b c 1830; and Susan, b c 1839. Patrick is believed to have died in Cavan. Catherine Farley Brady came to the US with her children. She is believed to have died in Rochester, NY, and Philip and Susan then came to St. Louis, where they had Brady relatives. John got lost. I have the family pretty well tracked from the time they arrived in St. Louis, and the St. Louis Bradys [and related Monaghans and Henrys] researched back to Stradone, Cootehill, and neighboring townlands of Carrickallen, Tievenanass, and Clifferna. BUT ... I don't have anything on the Farley folks except Catherine's name. Any chance there's a Catherine in your history? Jim Dowd St. Louis, Missouri
