Ireland cannot read & write Mary Do 46 F b. NJ William Do 25 M Blacksmith b. NJ Mary A. Do 21 F b. NJ James Do 16 M Cotton Mill Hand b. NJ David Do 13 M b. NJ Catherine Do 10 F b. NJ Julia Do 8 F attended school b. NJ Susan Do 4 F b. NJ Mathias Do 1/12 F b. NJ Mary Jane Do 3 F b. NJ [Do stand for Ditto; Do is what was written in the census, as above] Here are some early Paterson City Directory listings for these FARRELLs: 1855-56 Farrell Matthias, shoemaker, 32 Congress Farrell Owen, millwright, 14 Mulberry [son of Matthias] Farrell William, blacksmith, 49 Mill [son of Matthias] also these other FARRELLs this year: Farrell Stephen, moulder, 39 Congress Farrell David, machinist, 65 Mechanic Farrell John, machinist, 31 Division 1861-62 Matthias Farrel, shoemaker, h 22 Broadway 1865-66 Matthias Farrell, shoemaker, h 245 Straight 1866 M. Farrell,shoemaker, h 42 N Main 1867 Matthias Farrell, bootmaker, h 42 N Main 1868-69 Math Farrell, shoemaker, h 20 Mechanic This family lived in Morris County, Newark and Paterson. Mary nee STRAIGHT, widow of Mathias, was born in Rockaway, Morris County, and lived to be over 100. I have articles from Paterson newspapers written on the occasions of her 103rd and 104th birthdays. Did I already send those to you, Judy? I have much additional information on this family, including other census listings. I trace all FARRELLs in Paterson, and have collected information on many FARRELL families from around northern NJ, especially those who were in NJ before 1880. I am particularly interested in connections between Paterson FARRELLs and FARRELLs in the Albany NY area (Albany and Greenbush) and in Minnesota (area south of St. Paul). Seems I might have 2 or 3 different FARRELL families lurking in my family tree...
