Warner (1931), pp 84-86: St. Patrick’s Church The first Roman Catholic service was held in Port Henry in 1840 when Father Rooney said Mass at Barney McKowan’s. Soon after this Father McDonnell said Mass in the school house near the old furnace and afterwards, in the woods near the school house. Catholic marriages and baptisms were performed in the old Mack house on North Main Street, where Frank Carr, Sr., later kept a store. The first Catholic Church was erected in 1847, and the Reverend Michael Ollivette was the first pastor. It was a rough wooden building and was torn down and replaced by a stone church built in 1854. This was enlarged in 1860, and was burned in 1897, but rebuilt soon after. The Catholic Society was organized in Port Henry in 1873. Before this no formal organization existed. Pastors Rev. Michael McDonnell ……………..1842-47 Rev. Michael Ollivette ………………..1847-63 Rev. Luke Harney ……………………..1863-79 Rev. John O’Rourke …………………..1879-98 Rev. Michael Holland …………………1898-1906 Rt. Rev. Mons. R.

Last known date for certain is 1918 when they were there in the area...but could have been later.

Years ago when I was starting my research in Essex Co., I was told that there were some old records (I think they were church records) that had been sent somewhere and would be looked through and cataloged. I think they were being sent to the church headquarters. I know this isn't much to go on, but has anyone else heard of this and if they have been made available for research? I am researching the STRONG and JORDAN families in the area and I am at a brickwall. Colleen

Surnames: OWEN, RYAN, HALPIN, MOORE, CLARK, DAVIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YRB.2ACE/1399 Message Board Post: Hi Everyone, I am searching for the parents (names unknown) of Charles C. Owen, b.1807 in New York, d. UKN, in Lapeer Co., MI. I estimate that Charles’ father was living in (Essex Co?) New York, between 1800 and at least 1810. I do not know where he was born, or if he also relocated to Michigan. Charles C. Owen was my g-g-g-grandfather, and married Elizabeth Clark, m. UKN. They had several children, and I believe they were all born in Michigan. According to the 1850 and 1860 U.S. Federal Census records in Lapeer County, there were 9 or 10 children, including Julia, b.1841, Clark, b.1842, and Henry, b. ABT 1844, among others; possibly an older girl, Mary, and several younger children. Henry Owen was my g-g grandfather, and the father of Carroll Clark Owen, b.1885, in MI, d. UKN. Carroll was my g-grandfather, and married Lela G. Davis, m. UKN. Carroll had a brother named Fred, and other siblings. Carroll Owen was the father of Marion Clark Owen, b.1909, Lapeer Co., MI, d.1984, Lapeer Co., MI. Marion was my grandfather. I am aware of other siblings, but I don’t have all their names. I believe he had a brother named Max. Marion Owen married Malinda E. Ryan, b.1911, Lapeer Co., MI, d.1 Feb 2001, Lapeer Co., MI. Malinda Ryan-Owen was the daughter of John H. Ryan, b.ABT 1867, and Carrie Moore, b.ABT 1871. Carrie's parents were Oscar Moore and Malinda (Melinda?) Shurter. Oscar's father was SIlas Moore, b.UKN. John H. Ryan was a son of an Irish Immigrant, Thomas Ryan, b. ABT 1835, and Ellen Halpin, a daughter of Mark Halpin, b. ABT 1808, IRE (?). Mark also had a son named John Halpin, b.(?) West Point, Orange Co., N.Y. Thomas Ryan had brothers named Patrick and Andrew, all born in IRE. Their father was Thomas Ryan, b. ABT 1808 in IRE. I do not know when the 3 brothers arrived in the U.S., who their mother was, or if their parents also left Ireland. The above referenced families lived in Lapeer Co., Michigan, and the Owen and the Ryan families were land-owners in Lapeer County during the 1800s-1900s. If anyone has any information on these families, particularly on the parents of Charles C. Owen, b. 1807, N.Y., d. (?), Lapeer Co., MI, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you!!
