Moloney - Cooney family 1820s - 1830s
I am searching for additional information on the family of my ancestors John Moloney and Mary Cooney, who were married in Youghal Arra parish on 2 March 1824. Sponsors were listed as John Genane and Matt Hogan.
John and Mary Cooney Maloney (as their name was later spelled) had five known/surviving children, all of whom emigrated to America and settled in or near Cincinnati, Ohio:
1) John Moloney, baptized 15 June 1829 in Youghal Arra parish. Sponsors at the baptism were Patrick and Mary Cooney. John was my great-great-grandfather. He emigrated to America sometime before 1857, when he settled in the Cincinnati area and married Ann Broderick (immigrant from Co Galway). They had several children, including my great-grandmother Martha Maloney. After arrival in America, his surname and that of his descendants was usually spelled Maloney.
2) Daniel Maloney, born around 1830, no baptism record found.
3) Patrick Moloney, born and baptized January 1831 in Youghal Arra parish. Sponsors at the baptism were Patk Moloney and Mary Hogan.
4) Dennis Molony (spelling per baptism record), baptized 31 July 1839 in Youghal Arra parish. Sponsors at the baptism were John Hogan, Sarah Langley. Dennis was Killed in US Civil war, 1863.
5) Mary Molony born around 1840, no baptism record found. Mary married Joseph Fanning of Thurles, Tipperary in 1856 in Cincinnati.
I would appreciate any insights, leads, or suggestions for tracking the parents of John Moloney (the elder), Mary Cooney, or their children Daniel and Mary. Thank you.
