--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2007 14:28:00 -0500 Subject: James and Julia Donnelley Message-ID: <[email protected]> To MASSUFFOL subscribers, I am looking for information regarding my great aunt, Julia ( Murphy ) DONNELLEY ( sic ) ( or, Donnely , sp ?). She was born in Macroom, Ire. , Aug 6, 1852, to Michael and Ellen ( Cronin ) Murphy, one of nine children. She, along with her brother, my great grandfather, Patrick E. Murphy ( b. Jul 29, 1860 ) immigrated to Boston in the SS CEPHALONIA on Sept 22, 1883. Patrick settled in Atlantic ( North ) Quincy, worked as a blacksmith, and married Catherine Donovan, daughter of John and Catherine Donovan, of Atlantic. Another sister, Margaret ( b. Sept 8, 1866), immigrated to Boston sometime later , I presume. Margaret married Mr. James Alexander Carver, son of Thomas and Anna Carver, of PEI, Canada, on June 27, 1889, at the Most Precious Blood Catholic Church, Hyde Park, MA., in the presence of a [Mr.] James Castle ( rel. unk ) and [ Miss ] Julia Murphy ( her sister, presumedly ). At this time, Margaret was about 23 years old, and Julia would have been 37 years old. Margaret and James had several children while living in Hyde Park, before removing permanently to PEI to live, and having several more children there. As for Julia, I am still looking for information about her. According to the obit of her late brother,( my G-GF ) Patrick E. Murphy , aged 74 yrs, ( Quincy Daily News, Thurs., Jan 17, 1935, p2 ), .. '.He is also survived by a sister, Mrs James Donnelley ( sic ) of Hyde Park ' [ Mass.]. At this time, Julia would have been 83 years old, and her husband, 78 years old, or she may have been a widow, or, even possibly living with a married son ( or daughter ? ). According to the Mass. Census Index of 1900, there is listed a James T. ( or F ? ) Donnely ( sic ), age 40 years, b.1860, Born Mass....living at ( # 539 ? or # 534 ? ) Hyde Park Ave, Boston, [ Roslindale ] along with his wife Julia...b Aug 1854, age 54 yrs, Born Ire...nat. cit............... along with a .son, Thomas H.... b Apr 1891...age 9 yrs , Born Mass....... a second son, James A.... b. Sept 1892,... age 7 yrs, Born Mass... and a third son, Stephen H., ... b Dec 1893, age 6,...Born Mass. There is only a two year difference in the birth years noted from St. Colman's Church records in Macroom, Ire ( 1852 ), and of that stated on the 1900 Census ( 1854 ). Also, the two differing spellings of the surname, DONNELLEY ( Quincy Evening News and, again, the 1900 Census), DONNELY, is more pronounced, but easily explained as possible human error, one way or the other. To date, I have not had any success finding more information on the DONNELLEY ( or DONNELY, or other similar spelling of same ), either in the birth records of the three sons ( and / or any other siblings, miscarriages, infant deaths, etc. ? ), nor , the marriages of the three ( or more ? ) children, nor death and burials of the parents, presuming they passed away in Mass., of course. I am also presuming for the time being that Julia, and her husband, James, and their children lived their lives in the Roslindale area, possible remaining on Hyde Park Avenue, as well. I do not know which parish they may have been enrolled in, possibly Most Precious Blood, where her sister married ? I would be most grateful to anybody who could help me find any further information regarding Mrs Julia Murphy Donnelley, et al (or Donnely, or similar sp.). Thankyou, Joe, Pembroke, MA

Seeking information on Levi James Parsons, born in Boston May 13, 1891, son of George (b. abt 1857) and Martha S. (Norton) Parsons (b. abt 1861). Early in life Levi resided in East Boston, Dorchester and Winthrop MA, possibly Everett MA. Known siblings are an older sister, Lillian (b. 1886) and a younger brother, George (b. 1897). Levi Parsons married Minnie Bruce in October 1919; one daughter, Jessie F. Parsons, born 1920. Levi & Minnie divorced some time in the 1920s or 1930s. The SSDI indicates Levi was employed by the Railroad and died in Virginia in 1978. SSDI indicates his younger brother George also worked for the Railroad and also died in Virginia (1974). Levi's application for Social Security in 1937 places him at 79 Harvard Ave in W. Medford, MA and says he is a machinist with the B&M RR. We are interested in learning more about Levi's life from the 1920s until his death in 1978, especially whether he remarried and had another family. His daughter had no contact with her father after her parents were divorced and would dearly love to know what happened to him. Sincere thanks for any information anyone on this list may provide. Please contact me at: [email protected]

Leonard Arthur HACKING, born 1875 in Blackburn, Lancashire, England, emigrated to the U.S. in 1893 via the Catalonia, to Boston, from Liverpool. He was a cabinetmaker. He pretty nearly immediately moved to Philadelphia, PA, where he posted in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1895, seeking employment. Then in 1898, he returned to England, where he married his wife, Elizabeth Alice UNKNOWN, and then traveled back to Philadelphia, August 19, 1900, aboard the Lucania, arriving in Ellis Island. About four months later, the family, consisting of husband, wife, and baby, were in Philadelphia all together. 1. I am posting for the archives. 2. I am hoping someone may have a slight bit of further information concerning Leonard, for his brief stay in Boston. If so, please contact me! Thanks, Vince Summers [Virginia]

Thank you for the information Joe. Could you tell me where you came across the reference to Orlando P.Morrill? Do you have any information about his family? Newburyport looks to be quite a long way N. of Boston. Do you think my Hammonds from Charlestown could have Morrill relatives (by marriage) from somewhere that far away, in the late 1700s?

Dear Diana, In The History of Newburyport Massachusetts 1764 - 1905, wriiten by John J. Currier , originally published in two volumes, Vol/ I in 1906 and Vol/ II in 1909, this a a facsimile edited by D'Arcy Van Bokkelen, New Hampshire Publishing Co, Southworth 1977; Chapter XII Shipyards, Ship Owners and Shipbuilders, pp449 - p 450. Abel Merrill leased of the selectmen in Newburyport, in 1765, a building yard at the foot of Queen, now Market Street, where he built several vessels. [ March 19, 1765 ] Voted that the selectmen be ordered to let out to Mr. Abel Merrilll so much of the twelve rod highway at or near the upper end of Queen's Wharf, or the upper long wharf, so called, as they think can be spared. p 453. Ra;ph Cross, who owned a shipyard near the lower long wharf, died Jan. 4, 1788. His grandson, William Cross, bought, April 16, 1789, a lot of land near the foot of Merrill's Lane, now Merrill Street...........which he subsequently occupied as a shipyard.................He also built , in 1813, in company with Orlando B. Merrill ( edit note corr. sp of f.n. ), the sloop of war WASP at a yard near Moggaridges Point in the town of Newbury. I have read several differnt places that Orlando B. Merrill was responsible for the invention of the " Lift Model " concept of building ship model hulls. This can be described as the carving of a half hull model, built up in stacked layers of wood of a scaled dimension ( example ; 1/2 " equals 4 feet, or 1/8th imch scale ). The layers would de determined from the ' lines ' taken ' drawn plans at regular dimensions ( say, every four feet from the waterline, above and below. These are then stacked and secured vertically with dowels to keep them in line with one another. Then, the stepped edges of the laters are faired to a smooth hull shape. This was also the method used when there were no lines or drawings made, until after the hull had been shaped by an expert eye and hand who was creating a hull shape based on his wealth of know;ledge of the ' art ', or better yet, craft of shipbuilding. I cannot, however, say that this is the absolute truth without more scholarly research. There may well be some truth in the statements, however. Up until that time, large vessels were often built in the " Hawks Nest " manner, constructing elaborate, fully modeled, ribbed and planked scaled replicas, very minutely and often elaborately detailed works of art as well as craft. I am sure that you might be able to learn more about the Morill family from the reference dept of the Newburyport Public Library. Their historical society is not very responsive to inquiries, my experience. Newburyport is about an hour drive north of Boston. It was quite common for shipbuilders to move from the South Shore, from the cradle of American Shipbuilding her on the North River ( Hanover, Pembroke, Marshfield, Scituate ) North to Boston, Medford, furtther north to Salem and Newburyport, but also as far north as Camden, Maine. They would not, of course, have commuted, say, from Charlestown to Newburyport. They would have removed to where they found work. Hope this is of some value to you in your search. I would be interested in anything you learn about the Merrill shipbuilding family, if you don't mind. Good luck, Joe Chetwynd, Pembroke, MA

Dear Diane, With regards to shipbuilders in Mass. named Merrill, I have not come across any so named, to date. There was, however, an Orland P. MORRILL who built at Newburyport, Mass. and who built in partnership with Mr. Stephen ( and Ralph ? ) Cross in the late 18th century. joe

Hi everyone, I would be most grateful for any information that can be found about the early life and family of CATHERINE MORRILL HAMMOND. She was born in Massachusetts in about 1823, eldest daughter of an E. Hammond. She married George W. Roberts (he came from from St John, NB) in Charlestown Mass. on 7 Sept 1848. They were married by a Rev. Childs. Catherine died in Birkenhead, Cheshire, UK in 1905. I would really like to know the full names of her parents and where they lived in Charlestown. Was her mother a Miss Morrill? Did they always live in Massachusetts or was there some connection with Nova Scotia or New Brunswick? It's possible her father may have been in shipbuilding or something to do with ships anyway.Did she have brothers and sisters? Any suggestions for where I might best continue my search online would also be great.
