PATRICK CROWLEY (My Grandfather)

Patrick Crowley, Jr. (b. Mar 17, 1825, d. Jan 11, 1914)

Patrick Crowley, Jr. (son of Patrick Crowley, Sr. and Mary Crowley) was born Mar 17, 1825 in Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland, and died Jan 11, 1914 in Town of Seneca, Crawford County, WI. He married Hanorah Brennen, daughter of James Brennen and Mary Brennen.



Notes for Patrick Crowley, Jr.:

Patrick lived in New York state for a brief time before coming to Wisconsin in the early 1850's and to Crawford County by oxcart. Patent records suggest that he purchased 203 acres of farmland in Crawford County on May 15, 1857.



Patrick had a first wife who is believed to be named Hanorah as well (although there is also contradictory evidence suggesting she may have been Elizabeth Murphy). She was born in 1830 and died December 9, 1865 at the age of 35. They had 2 children, Michael and Nora both of whom were still alive when their father passed away in 1914. The south side of the gravestone in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Seneca, WI lists six children of P & H Crowley (believed to be Patrick and first wife Hanorah) who died young. They are Elizabeth, 5 months and 10 days; John, 7 months; Willie, 14 years, 5 months; Mary 2 months, William 12 months, and Dennis 11 months. 1910

Census says he is living with his brother in law James Murphy, Age 75, also born in Ireland who came to the US in 1858 so in 1910 Patrick's sister (first name unknown) must have been deceased.
