I am looking for information on family of Mathew Fogarty and Katherine Quinn. I have information on the family in the US but not in Ireland.
Matthew Fogarty (b: c1832 Ireland) (d: c1900 Pennsylvania), married Katherine Quinn (b: Apr 1835). Matthew was born in County Tipperary, Ireland on a farm outside of Thurles (Fogarty Farm). He had brothers and sisters that came to America. (1) John had a grocery store in Conshohocken, PA. John was father of John and Mary Fogarty (John, a bachelor, lived with his sister Mary, a spinster, and ran the store until sometime in the 1940's) (2) Michael was an Augustinian Priest in Ireland. He came to America but didn't like the way things were run at Villanova so he returned to Ireland. (3) Ellen (Sister Mary Augustine, St Joseph Order) came from Ireland at age 16. She was stationed at an orphanage in Troy, N.Y. (4) Jeremiah remained on farm in Thurles, Ireland. (5) Edward settled in Canada. (6) Another Sister (name unknown). Three of Matthew's sisters came out of Ireland. Two were Nuns and one married a man named Coffee. Matthew and Katherine were married in America. The date and place are not confirmed, probably c1857 at St Augustine’s in Philadelphia or St Matthews in Conshohocken, PA.
Katherine Quinn (b: c1835 Ireland) (d: c1907 Pennsylvania), was born in Ireland in the town of Carrick-on-Suir. She had an older brother, Patrick, who was exiled to Australia by Queen Victoria for taking part in an uprising. This was before Katherine was born. A sister, Mary Quinn, came to America. She married a man named Garrett Murphy who left her and had her committed to a home for widows, St. Ann's, 4th and Vine, Philadelphia, PA (Franklin Square)
Matthew and Katherine had five children: (1) Richard H. Fogarty (b: April 26, 1860 Pennsylvania) (d: July 22, 1920 Pennsylvania) (2) Katherine "Aunt Katy" died Jan. 30, 1957 (3) Mary, married John Doheny, lived in Rosemont, PA had one son, Raymond, died July 13? (4) Thomas. (5) Matthew.
