Mary Maloney married Patrick Murray. Their son David was born in 1809, subsequent brothers were Dominick, Patrick and Michael, not sure about sisters. Those 4 boys along with their mother and father emigrated to St. Ignace MI and became quite successful upstanding members of the St. Ignace/Mackinac Island MI community.  The hotel that Dominick built is still in operation to this day and is still owned by Murray family descendants. They have a web page called the Mackinac Murrays and have a reunion every 5 years, they pretty much take over the town as the Murray's are quite the procreators.

I would very much like to find out more about this family when they were in Ireland.  The Murray's married Mulchrones,Chambers, O'Malley and Early. The Early side would be pleased to know that every single child from the Patrick Murray/Mary Jane Early line has some sort of version of Early as their name. My father was David Earle Murray, I am Jennifer Earle Murray and my daughter has the same middle name.

    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>
