Past and Present in Allamakee County, by Ellery M. Hancock. 2 vols. Chicago: S. J. Clarke Pub. Co., 1913. No farmer in Allamakee county has achieved greater success in agricultural pursuits than Richard William Walsh, whose attractive homestead lies on section 26, Fairview township, and comprises three hundred and sixty acres. Through his own industry and enterprise he has gained an enviable degree of success and he stands today among the leading farmers and stock-raisers of this locality. He was born on the farm which he now operates in a pioneer log cabin, August 17, 1864, a son of William and Ellen (Reed) Walsh, natives of Ireland, the former born in County Galway, June 14, 1827, and the latter in County Mayo, December 25, 1834. The father's parents died in Ireland and when he was about twenty-one years of age he emigrated to America, obtaining employment at railroad work in Pennsylvania, where he remained for a number of years. He later moved to Galena, Illinois, and then to Allamakee county, Iowa, where he entered land and at the same time engaged in steamboating on the Mississippi river. During several seasons he engaged in this occupation and then settled upon his own farm, which was at that time entirely unimproved and covered with a dense growth of timber. With characteristic energy and enterprise he began clearing and developing this land and his well directed efforts were eventually rewarded by success, the farm becoming one of the finest and best equipped in this vicinity. He died upon his holdings, which comprised three hundred and sixty acres, January 18, 1911. His wife survives him and is living happily under the devoted care of her son, who places his mother's interests and welfare above all other considerations, making her happiness the main object of his life. Richard W. Walsh was reared upon his father's farm in Fairview township and in his childhood learned the details of farm operation by assisting with the work of homestead. At the age of twenty he went to LaCrosse, Wisconsin, where for four months he was employed by the St. Paul railroad, after which he moved to northern Minnesota and worked at farming in the employ of others for the remainder of the year. Returning to Wisconsin at the end of that time, he spent a winter in the northern lumber camps and then returned to Iowa, settling upon the homestead, where he remained six years. Removing then to Independence, Iowa, he rented a farm and after four years went to Minneapolis, where he was for three years engaged as a brakeman and switchman. Eventually he again returned to the homestead in Fairview township and upon this property he has since resided. He has steadily carried forward the work of improvement and development and has now a valuable and productive farm equipped with substantial buildings and provided with modern, labor-saving machinery. Mr. Walsh devotes a great deal of time to his farming and stock-raising interests and has won that success which follows earnest and persistent labor. Mr. Walsh is a member of the Roman Catholic church and he gives his political allegiance to the democratic party. However, he votes independently when he feels that the best interests of the community demand such action and he has always taken an intelligent interest in the welfare and growth of his township. For about eight years he held the office of township trustee but refused to serve longer, preferring to concentrate his attention upon his business interests. His sterling qualities of mind and character have gained him the friendship of many, while his business record commends him to the confidence of his fellowmen, for at all times he is reliable and straightforward.

Hi - new to the list. Not getting very far with my Irish family tree(s) so I thought I'd slowly work my way around Ireland and join every mailing list! Researching FLANAGANs (Patrick b.c.1829) / COLEMANs (Patrick b.c.1823) and CATON (Ellen or Helen b.c.1826). Haven't got a clue where abouts - just thought I'd take the clue from the 1881 census in England - "where born?" "Ireland"! Oh - so I don't confuse anyone with my Patricks - they were both labourers!! And Ellen was a mother & housewife! Thanks Jane (nee Flanagan - mother & housewife)

Could anyone, please, tell me where I can gain access to any census records for Mayo and Dublin? Thanks Lynn

I am looking for information on Fr. Michael Kelly who died in 1854 in Belmullet. He was the brother of James Kelly of Beldergmore, My gggf. He was one of the founding priests in the Belmullet parish. He was also written up in Msr. McHale's book, "The Parishes of the Diocese of Killala" Was he associated with Sacred Heart Church?, Is that in Glencastle? Is he buried in the church yard as is typical? Thanks for any help. Jim Kelly

I have a historical article, "Study of Kilmaclasser area, church and graveyard". If you are researching a specific townland or surname in this Mayo Parish, I will be glad to see if it mentioned. Peace, Walt Atlanta Reminder, any STANTON/CORLEY/HORAN data from the Castlebar/Westport area will be gratefully received.

Hi Bob, Thanks for responding. I am familiar with Cloughans, as in the old and new Cloughans cemeteries located about 100 m. east of the eastern shore of Lough Conn in Backs parish. Mark and Anne Breslin, who run the only retail business in Corroy, a small newsstand, and a relative of my HANAHOEs, believe that Michael, my Catherine CLARKE's husband, and his father, Thomas, who died in the 1870-85 timeframe at the age 104, are buried in the "Old" cemetery. That cemetery is in one of the worst conditions I have ever seen. Mark said he was in the team who cleaned it up about 10-12 years ago and estimates it would take a 4 man team a weekend or two to repeat the same. I am told that there are "many" HANAHOEs up in the vicinity of Pittston, PA however, I am under the impression that they trace their roots back to Crossmolina."WE" may be ultimately able to do that but not for now. I have been unable to get beyond the 1830ies in that parish, however, I have not commissioned a comprehensive report from the North Mayo Family History Centre yet. Now that I have the name of a possible brother of my Catherine , namely your "Ned" Edward Clarke, I am, hopefully, closer to getting a handle on who her parents were. BTW, my great-grandfather, Catherine CLARKE's youngest son, who was born in 1844 was named Patrick Clarke Hanahoe... the name combination runs in both of our families ;-). Many Regards, Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert J. Walsh To: Brian M. Carr Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 12:26 PM Subject: Re: Ann Clarke's family ( Knockmore) Hi Brian: According to the Mayo North Family History Research Centre Report, my Anne Clarke, married John Walsh. She is believed to be the daughter of Ned (Edward) Clarke and Ann Bourns, both born in Cloughans Townland, Knockmore Parish, County Mayo. She may have a brother, John Clarke. John Walsh, born 7 March 1837, is the son of Patt Walsh, died 1892, and Mary Ormsby. I believe Anne Clarke was born about March 1837 in Carrawvaneen, Backs/Knochmore Parish, County Mayo. I would be more then happy to exchange information. As you can see, my information is very sketchy. Most of the family settled in Scranton, PA. I have been trying to get a handle on Anne Clarke and hope that you might have the right answers. May North Family History could not come up with much information concerning her, and really are not certain that the information they furnished me is correct. Would appreciate hearing from you . One further note, Anne Clarke is the mother of my grandfather, Patrick Clarke Walsh, of that I am certain. Thanks. Bob Walsh "Brian M. Carr" wrote: Hi Robert, I am one of the progeny of Michael HANAHOE and Catherine CLARKE who were married in 1831 in the parish church ( I hope ) of Knockmore, Co.Mayo. They lived in Corroy on land which is now owned by a family named Armstrong. Your ANN, by her probable age, looks like she could have been a niece of my Catherine. Michael died in 1847 precipitating the emigration of his widow and four of their five children to Reading, PA by the late 1860ies. What do you know of Ann CLARKE's parents if anything?

Joe - Thanks so much for your reply. I am at once relieved and annoyed that you didn't find that James Manley in Griffith's .... annoyed with myself for accepting someone else's research at face value and relieved that I am not going mad ...... I've been right thru the Griffiths Mayo film at the LDS and was SURE there was no possible James Manley! I AM positive that Co Mayo is the place .... family lore confirms the 1871 English census entry .... so the Co Cork Jameses and the one in Rathmines can be discounted. Likewise certain that James was my great-great-great-grandfather - his two sons name him as such on their marriage certificates. As to your Co Mayo findings, I've also had the Kilmoremoy Catholic registers on LDS microfilm .... nothing definite. I see you've checked the obvious misspellings ... Manly/Mannely .... no chance he's under the less obvious Hanl(e)y I suppose .... the family is even enumerated in the 1881 census as Mundy! Otherwise, I'll go back to my previous assumption that he was already dead before Griffith's valuation was taken. best wishes Drew Reed
