John Daly (1811-1877)
Hello,
I am searching for any information on John Daly, my great-great grandfather (on my mother's side). I believe he was born somewhere in Ireland around 1811. (From an anonymous hand-written note:) "Came to U.S. in 1839. Settled in Penn. Met and married Margaret (?). Later moved to Clark County, Missouri. Settled near St. Patrick, Missouri. Was first man to take out naturalization papers in Clark County. Occupation: Blacksmith." He died 11 May 1877 and is buried in St. Patrick Cemetery in Clark county, Missouri. His wife, Margaret (Mary?) was born abt 1821 and died 2 Mar 1864. She is buried near John. They had 5 children after moving to Missouri:
Catherine (b. abt 1839) Married ? Campbell
Mary Agnes (8 Oct 1840 - 30 Jan 1913) Mary was a nun.
Bridget b. abt 1845) Married ? McDonald
John Thomas (16 Oct 1848 - 5 Dec 1882) Unmarried
Robert (24 Jan 1851 - 21 Oct 1933) My great grandfather. Married Sarah Francis Fields.
I am sure that there aren't many Irishmen named John Daly, so this request should be easy. Ha ha.
Thanks in advance for any suggestios.
Scott
