Notes for JOHN LYNCH:

The following was excerpted from the "History of Bradford County"

"John was a shoemaker by trade in Ireland but abandoned that calling and set out to make his fortune in the New World in 1860. He settled on a farm in Standing Stone Township PA where he remained 12 years and then purchased a larger farm in Rome PA, which he changed from a dense forest to a state of cultivations and lived upon it until his death on May 8, 1881 at the age of sixty-nine years. His wife survived him for awhile and remained on the farm with her son Michael."

Notes for CATHERINE LYNCH:

Per BCHS, 21 Lynch families came to Bradford Cty. PA between 1840-1850. Need to ensure accuracy of source information regarding our Lynch's.

No record could be found of Catherine in the 1850 Standing Stone, Wysox, Towanda Boro. or Towanda Township censues.

Note the following passenger on the ship Kate:

Lynch, Cathn.

Gender: Female Embarkation: Liverpool

Age: 28 Ship: Kate

Occupation: servant Passengers: 151

Residence: Unknown Compartment:

Native Country: Ireland Destination: USA

Literacy:

Arrival Date: 29 October 1849

The age is right but no way to be sure. Unfortunately there were MANY Catherine Lynchs who immigrated to US. Our Catherine married Andrew Brennan in Bradford County PA sometime between 1851 (year Andrew's first wife Mary Tracy/Treacy died) and c1854 when her first child was born.

Our link between Catherine and her sibs and between Catherine and her parents comes from ""History of Bradford County With Biographical Selections"; H.C. Bradsby;Chicago; S.B. Nelson & Co. Publishers; 1891."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We know from US naturalization records that Andrew, Mary and their two sons, Patrick and James arrived in the port of New York in (August?) 1849. At that time Andrew would be approx. 40; Mary approx. 28; Patrick approx. 6 and James approx. 3 year old. Searches of passenger lists for immigration ships arriving at that time in NY have turned up one possibility.The ship "Washington" arrived in the port of New York on or about May 1 1849. Her skipper was J. H. Burleigh and the ship carried 156 passengers. The Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild consists of volunteers who transcribe the hand written declaration of passengers and cargo which the ship's master prepares for the Collector of Customs in NY at that time. A ISTG volunteer transcribed the Ship Washington's manifest on October 27, 1999 from NARA film M237, Reel 78. The following is of interest:

# Name Age Sex

50 Mr. Brennan 40 M

51 Cath Brennan 28 F

52 James Brennan 5 M

53 Patrick Infant M

Realizing that errors were highly common in the preparation of these lists and, sometimes, by the transcribers, one might assume that Mr. Brennan was Andrew; that Cath was Mary Treacy with perhaps Catherine as a middle or nick name and that they reversed James and Patrick ages. Yes, it is a stretch!

Hopefully someone in the future will either confirm this or delete it from the family history should it prove to be incorrect.

Note: July 2002 - Checked all passengers arriving in NYC during August 1849 using Vol. IV of the "Famine Immigrants", Ed by Ira Glazer et al. While lots of Brennans, and other spelling derivations, did not find the Andrew Brennan family per se.

Note: The Ship Sir Harry Smith arrived in NYC from Liverpool in Sept 1849 with a lot of "Brannons" on board.

We find the family living in Towanda Township at the time of the 1850 census (78,80) which was performed in August of that year:

SURNAME FIRST NAME AGE SX RE$ OCCUPAT. BRN FAM# PG#

Brinin Andrew 38 M Laborer IRE 80 21 (could not read or write)

Brinin Mary 29 F IRE 80 21

Brinin Patrick 7 M IRE 80 21

Brinin James 3 M IRE 80 21
 
 

1860 Standing Stone Census (visited Brennans on July 4). By now Mary had died and Andrew had married Catherine Lynch:

Andrew 48 M Farmer Ireland

Catherine 40 F Ireland

Patrick 17 M Ireland

James 14 M Ireland

(Patrick & James were sons of Andrew and Mary, Andrew's first wife)

Margaret 7 F PA

Bridget 5 F PA

Martin 3 M PA

Mary 2 F PA

Andrew 1/12 M

Mary is not listed in the 1870 Standing Stone Township census so we assume she died sometime between 1860 & 1870.

The 1870 census contains the names of Andrew and Catherine and their children Bridget (14), Martin (13), Andrew Jr. (10)and John (8). Dwelling number was 56 and the Brennans were family # 58. A second family was also noted at the same location. The last name is hard to read but something like "Caugh." The father's name is Michael, age 49, and he was a blacksmith. His wife Bridget was 37. Their 3 children were Patrick (age 6), James (8?) and Mary (6). Michael and Bridget were born in Ireland as were there parents. The children were all born in PA and were attending school at the time of the census. Perhaps Michael knew the Brennans from Ireland and was temporarily residing with the Brennans. No record of him and family could be found in the 1880 Standing Stone census.

By the 1880 census both Andrew and Catherine had died. Martin had married Margaret Grace and they had a farm in Standing Stone (father's place??). They gave their ages as 23 and 22. Also staying with them was Joesph, age 8, and (hard to read) we believe he was Martin's nephew.

Children of CATHERINE LYNCH and ANDREW BRENNAN are:

4. BRIDGET^{4 B}RENNAN (CATHERINE^{3 LYNCH, MARTIN2, PATRICK1) was born October 1854 in Standing Stone Township, Bradford, PA/Bradford Co., PA29, and died December 05, 1926. She married J}OHN O'HERRON³⁰ December 28, 1882 in ?³⁰, son of LAWRENCE O'HERRON and JULIA. He was born December 1856 in PA³¹, and died Unknown.

Notes for BRIDGET BRENNAN:

Note that Bridget's brother (see John Brennan) died of a heart seizure while in a "Kirwin" hack while on his way to visit his sister in 1905.

In the 1910 North Towanda Census (71,71; image #6) at their residence on Webb Ave. we find:

O'Herron, John 58 M1 26 PA PA PA Laborer Odd Jobs

Bridget wife 53 M1 26 7 3 PA Ire Ire

Mary dau 18 S PA PA PA Winder at silk mill

John A. son 14 S PA PA PA

This data raises questions about DOBs and the marriage date. Note that Bridget had had 7 children and only 3 are still alive. The question is who is the 3rd child that is still alive? Must have been Lawrence who would be 27, married with one child in 1910.

Notes for JOHN O'HERRON:

John was counted in the 1860 and 1870 Standing Stone, Bradford, PA Censues living with his parents.

The 1900 North Towanda Census (1,1; image #1):

O'Heron, John Feb 1856 44 M18 PA IRE IRE Day Laborer

Mary E. dau Sept 1890 9 S PA PA PA at school

John A. son May 1892 7 S PA PA PA at school

Bridget had had 7 children by June 1900 but only 3 were still alive. Catherine, Julia and Helen must have died. They would have been ages 5, 3 and 2. There must have been another child who was born and died before 1900. The absence of the 1890 census data is sorely missed.

This data raises questions about DOBs for John and Bridget and their marriage date.

In the 1910 North Towanda Census (71,71; image #6) at their residence on Webb Ave. we find:

O'Heron, John 58 M1 26 PA PA PA Laborer Odd Jobs

Bridget wife 53 M1 26 7 3 PA Ire Ire

Mary dau 18 S PA PA PA Winder at silk mill

John A. son 14 S PA PA PA

In 1910 Lawrence and his wife, Aurilla Bailey, resided on Ferry Rd. in North Towanda and had one child, Nellie B., a 2 yr old daughter. See 1910 North Towanda Census, E.D. 21; 36,36; image # 3.

Bridget is buried in SS Peter & Paul cemetery in Towanda. John's headstone is next to Bridget's but DOD not readable. Assume he is buried there.

Notes for MARTIN PATRICK BRENNAN:

1880 Census showed Martin as age 23, farmer, residing in Standing Stone Township. Wife Margaret was 22, housekeeper. Margaret's parents both born in Ireland. Joseph, age 8, resided with Martin and Margaret and was a nephew of Martin's. The census was taken June 7, 1880 which was only 2 weeks after Martin and Margaret were married.

D# F# SURNAME FIRST NAME AGE SEX Relationship to Head of House OCCUPATION BORN Place of Birth Father Place of Birth Mother

51 51 Brennan Martin 23 M hus farmer PA Ireld Ireld

51 51 Margaret 22 F wife housekeeper PA Ireld Ireld

51 51 Joseph 8 M nephew PA Ireld Ireld

Perhaps Joseph was John Joseph Brennan, born April 17, 1872, the only son of Patrick (M.D. in Wysox) and Mary O'Keefe Brennan. Mary had passed away in November 1872 and Patrick had yet to marry his second wife, Mary Dacy. Recall that Patrick and James Brennan were Andrew's sons by his first marriage to Mary Treacy.

Where was John Brennan, Martin's brother? Per Andrew Brennan's will (Andrew died in 1877) Martin was to provide John a home until his 21st birthday. In 1880 John would have been 18. Perhaps he was residing/working at another farm. We know that John ultimately ended up in Sayre and died in 1905 of a heart seizure while on his way to visit his sister Bridget Brennan O'Herron (see John's obit ON FILE)

(The 1890 Federal censuses were almost completely destroyed by fire)

In the 1900 Standing Stone Census we find (63,65; Image #6) the family to now have 9 children. :

Brennan, Martin Head Aug 1856 43 M21 PA IRE IRE

Blanche E. Dau May 1896 4 S PA PA PA

Ambrose E. Son May 1898 2 S PA PA PA

Annie A. Dau Nov 1899 6/12 S PA PA PA

The first daughter Annie had died in September 1899 at the age of 13 y 10m. The Annie born in November of that year was named after her. Where was Phillip? He would have been age 18+.

The 1910 Standing Stone Township, Bradford, PA Census finds 7 of the original 13 children still at home. Francis had died in 1906. Four of children were no longer living at home: Phillip; Mary Catherine; Martin and Margaret. Gertrude and Martin had been born. The property was a farm owned by Martin with a mortgage. Joseph Willilam ("Will"), the son, age 20 at this time, would be killed in France during WW1 eight years later. The resident family consisted of:

Martin P. (father) age 53, married 30 years, born in PA, both parents born in Ireland

Margaret E. (nee Grace), wife, age 51, born in PA, both parents born in Ireland

William J. son age 20

Andrew J. son age 16

Blanche E. dau age 13

Martin P. Jr son age 5

Note: Martin P. Brennan was the enumerator for this E.D. # 38 (image #13 - last image) and he enumerated his family last.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

By 1920 William or "Will" had been killed (1918) in France during WW I. The residents at the Standing Stone farm were:

Martin Sr. was the enumerator for the 1930 census. Annie would relocate to Detroit where she died in 1925.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The 1930 Census finds the Brennans relocated from Standing Stone to Huston St. in Towanda-only a few houses away from the Thomas Clancy household where their son Robert, age 32, still resides.

Martin Brennan is 73, and retired, and Margaret is 70. Genevieve, their 28 year old daugther, resides with them and her occupation is that of stenographer in a lawyer's office. Their home is a duplex with the Buffington's (married dau Blanche) living next door. See "Charles Buffington" 1930 Census data (9 children!).

Robert Clancy and G. Genevieve Brennan would marry in 3 years.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1900, per the Census, Andrew and Mary resided at 108 North Fourth St., Towanda, PA. John Clancy believes this is the red brick 2 story house on the east side of North Fourth, halfway up the hill between Chestnut and Huston Sts. Andrew gave June 1860 as his DOB and his age was listed as 39. He and May (Lane) had been married 10 years. Mary stated that they had 8 children of which only 2 were living. Residing at the house were Isabelle, dau, born Oct 1892 whose age was 7 and Katherine, dau, born May 1897 whose age was 3. Andrew's occupation was that of a tailor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew and Mary continued to reside on Fourth St. at the time of the 1920 census. Andrew is 57, Mary L. is 55, the daughters Belle and Catherine are 24 & 21 and Andrew Jr. is 14.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 1930 census finds Andrew and Mary still living at 108 North Fourth St., Towanda along with their son, Andrew. Andrew the father is 69 and his occupation is "salesman for household necessities." He states that his father and mother were born in "Irish free state." Mary gives age as 67 and lists her father as also being born in the Irish Free State with her mother born in PA. Andrew the son is 25 and single and a laundry truck driver.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew, Mary and Andrew Jr. are buried in SS Peter & Paul's Cemetery without gravestones. Catherine Neiley is buried in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Bradford County Memorial Park. Isabelle and Florence are buried in Ireland's Catholic Cemetery. Andrew Jr. was killed in an auto accident.

A May (L?) Valentine, age 10, counted in the 1900 Standing Stone Township, Bradford, PA census. She was residing at the home of Jane Sage, 67 yr old widow, along with Nettie Valentine, age 12. Both May and Nettie were grand children of Jane Sage.

The 1920 Standing Stone Township census finds Genevieve, age 16, residing with her parents and sibs:

Brennan, Martin Head 63 PA Ireland Ireland

Margaret E. Wife 61 PA Ireland Ireland

Andrew J. son 26

Ambrose son 21

Annie A. daughter 20

Gertrude G. daughter 16

Martin P. son 14

Genevieve, known as Genny to her friends, worked hard her whole life. She married at age 30 and the family spent the greater part of their lives at 214 Chestnut St. in Towanda. She was a religious woman and never failed to attend service as the SS Peter & Paul RC Church on Third St. where she was a member of the Altar & Rosary Society. She ensured that her three sons attended St. Agnes for all 12 years. While there was never much money available her children never lacked nice clothes, toys and an allowance, until they were old enough to earn their own money by mowing lawns and later working in stores in Towanda as teenagers. She cheerfully maintained a happy home which was often filled with the wonderful smells of fresh home baked bread or her famous chocolate pie. After the three boys had grown she resumed secretarial work at the Bradford County Agricultural Extension Office in the Towanda Court House. Following the death of her husband Robert in 1964 she sold the Chestnut St. house and lived in a series of apartments in Towanda for the rest of her life. She became active in the Senior Citizens group and particularly enjoyed the scenic bus trips. She lived to see her three sons graduate from college, marry and start their own families. Considering her humble beginnings on a farm in Standing Stone Township she truly had achieved much in her lifetime.

This school eventually became RIT.

------------------------------------------------------------

Bob graduated from St. Agnes and learned the trade of electrician at what is now known as RIT and then at the NYC Electrical School. While in New York City he earned money by acting as a chauffeur. He established the Towanda Radio Supply store on Court St. in Towanda where for many years `Stub' Lewis held down the fort repairing radios while Bob was driving about Bradford County doing electrical wiring installation and repair. All three of his sons worked with their father at times during summer school breaks or on weekends.

Though on the quiet side Bob was a kind and tender father and husband. No one in the family recalls him raising his voice or displaying any anger. He was a member of the SS Peter & Paul RC Church and its Holy Name Society. He looked after his mother & father, whose home was very near his, until their deaths.

Along with his wife Genevieve, Bob established a loving and nurturing home life for his children. What greater thing can be said for a man or a father.
