Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/EauClaire/543 Surname: Barney, Quigley ------------------------- My family history indicates that a Patrick Barney left Monstream, Ireland about 1820 with his wife, who died at sea. Aboard that ship he met an Irish girl named Quigley who was enroute to take care of her widowed brothers children. Patrick Barney married Miss Quigley and had nine children of their own. I understand that they settled in Seymour (township?), as known Barney relatives live there. I am sorry that I have no additional information at this time. You can contact me at "kurt.vantassel@juno.com" if you have anything that I could use, or maybe I can give you what I have on the Barney side. Yours, Kurt. *********************************************** Merry Christmas Hello Kurt, My husband's family (Wickham) includes this SAME Patrick Barney and I will gladly share what information I have and would appreciate your corrections/additions to this info. And, I certainly would be interested in learning more of the Barney's. WICKHAM FAMILY HISTORY (no documentation, word of mouth and family lore) Patrick's first wife Anastasia Cavanaugh, died on board ship coming to America. Patrick married Margaret Quigly (b.1840) in Canada. Anastasia was born at Monasterevin, Co Kildare, Ireland. It is reported that the Barney's were itinerant horse thieves. Patrick and Margaret had 4 children: James - John - Patrick - Thomas, who was a logger A letter from brother-in-law in Eau Claire dated 1985 says: The Barney's originated in Co Kildare, IRE. No link can be found using the marriage of Patrick Barney & Anastasia Cavanaugh. Irish priest suggests name was BARRY, but could have been BRYNE or O'BEARNY. BARRY is the best bet. (You know they may have been illiterate and the immigration officer probably wrote the name down as he heard it and they didn't know the difference. Barbara) Patrick Barney left Ireland in 1840 w/new wife and sailed for Canada. Anastasia died on board - there were such documented cases of plague ships arriving Quebec during the early 1840s. Patrick married Margaret Quigly at St. Edward de Frampton P.Q., Canada. *********************** A SHORT DESCENDENCY CHART ********************** Any info you can add/correct will be appreciated.
