Patrick's mother died six days after his birth. He lived with uncle William McNulty's family at Enniscoe House as staff members.  They emigrated to the USA c. 1852.  Patrick worked as a glass cutter in Boston.  In 1861 he enlisted in the Union Army.

After Civil War battlefield service, he was discharged due to disability in 1862.  Patrick returned to the glass trade in Chicago and married Mary O'Toole (emigrant from County Wexford) in 1868.  They tried farm life in Kansas, but it was too hot.

In about 1872 Patrick, Mary, and two sons went west to Olympia, Washington.  He was granted a homestead of 163 acres.  They had eight children and lived on the farm they established.  Son John: "He was a worthy and upright man, honest and fair."

    Kildavnet Freeholders List

    <p>A unique Census Substitute for the townland of Carrickkildavnet aka Kildavnet in 1829. This Freeholders List can provide useful information about those who held enough land to register to vote. While the smaller tenant farmers who suffered most during the Great Famine won't appear on this list, there may be a few surprises included here (that didn't appear on Tithe applotment records). These could be partners on a freehold lease. Can you find your ancestor's name below?</p>
