John B. Maloy Three Generation  Looking for Father & Mother of John B. Maloy & Mary Fritzpatrick

John B. Maloy   Mary Fritzpatrick   Age about 75 We belive this to be our GG-Grandmother The “Maloy” family, on July 7, 1860 were living in Dwelling House 734 (Numbered in the Order of Visitation) and they were the 1279th Family in the Order of Visitation in the 6th Ward Hamilton County, Cincinnati, OH July 7, 1860 census. James Woodward compiled the census and his writing is mostly legible. They are found on Page 159. The family consisted of John B. Maloy, 32, and his wife Mary, 32, (Mary may have been three yrs. older) and their children George, 12, Frances, (f) 11, Ann, 5, and Daniel, 3. Living with them were two other women, Ann Fritzpatrick, 16, (maybe Fitzpatrick?) listed as a Dressmaker and born in Canada, and Ann Seiger, 64 (maybe Singer?) born in Ireland in 1796. Ann Seiger is listed as a person over 20 who cannot read or write. George and Frances were both listed as attending school that year. The value of John’s real estate is listed as $600 and his profession is listed as “Keeps Coffee House”. He is listed as being born in Ireland, as is Mary. Their two oldest children George and Frances were both born in New York and their two youngest, Ann and Dan, were born in Ohio. We believe this to be the young family of our grandfather Dan Molloy, born 1857, who was the youngest child in the family in 1860. Taking these scraps of information, and combining them with our family lore, it is possible that our great-grandfather, John and Mary, both born circa 1828, came from Ireland to New York, either together or singly, sometime before the birth of their first child, George, in 1848 and stayed there at least until the birth of their second child, Frances, a daughter, a year later in 1849. Sometime between 1849 and 1855 the family appears to have moved to Ohio, where their third child, Ann, was born in 1855 and then, two years later, their fourth child Dan arrived in 1857. Living with them in the same house in 1860 was an older woman, 64, Ann Seiger, born Ireland. Could this be Mary’s mother? And there is also another young woman living in the house, Ann F(r)itzpatrick, aged 16, listed as a Dressmaker and having been born in Canada. The 1880 census Hamilton County, Cincinnati, OH Page #56 Supervisor District #3 Enumeration District #173 was conducted June 15, 1880 on Street Number:110 Dwelling Number.298 Family Number (in order of visitation):550 and signed by a John ____(I cannot make out last name). The writing is okay, but not as good as in the 1860 census. In it, Mary Maloy again is listed, white, female and being 55 years of age. She is widowed and it is said she “keeps house”. She is listed as being born in Ireland, as her parents are both marked as being born in Ireland. Living with her is her son Danl who is a single white male 22 yrs of age, listed as a, looks like, CLK - clerk? He is listed as being born in Ohio and his mother and father are marked as being born in Ireland. Here’s where it gets interesting. Frances, listed as being white female, had her name Maloy scratched out and replaced with what is essentially illegible but looks like it starts with an N. Looks like it is Neser. We’re looking for Maher here but I just don’t see it happening. Frances is also listed as being 30 yrs old and is listed as “daughter”. Below her, and sharing the last illegible name, is John J. Neser, listed as husband and he is white male, 33 yrs old. He was born in Ireland and his parents were too. His profession is listed as traveling salesman. Listed last, is Ann Fitzpatrick. She is listed as white female and “sister”; she is also shown to be single – maybe she is one of the “maiden aunts”. She would be sister to Mary Maloy then. It’s highly likely Mary’s maiden name is Fitzpatrick (Fritzpatrick?) I have the feeling Mary gave the census-taker this information. If Mary IS 55 (ten yrs older than her younger sister Ann) she’s suddenly gained three yrs over the 1860 census when her husband was alive.;) Looks like maybe she’s had her “Come to Jesus” moment. She may have been born in Ireland as early as 1825.  We can ask/ theorize: Is Ann F(r)itzpatrick one of the three “maiden aunts” from New York? Is she Ann Seiger’s daughter, Mary’s sister? Did Ann Seiger emigrate from Ireland to Canada first, where Ann F(r)itzpatrick was born sixteen? years after her daughter Mary was born in Ireland? Who is Ann Seiger? Is she mother to Mary Maloy and Ann F(r)itzpatrick? Did the older Ann remarry? Ann F(r)itzpatrick is listed as “sister” is listed as being 45 in the 1880 census (remember, she was listed as being 16 in the 1860 census!) She’s either closer to 35 here or was 26 in 1860. I’d venture 26 in 1860. She’d have been born in Canada circa 1834. Her mother (Ann Seider?) would have been about 38. Makes more sense. That John Maloy (maybe with Mary, maybe not, they may have met in New York, her via way of Canada) probably emigrated to America sometime between 1828 and 1848. That John and Mary, with two children in tow, left New York for Ohio sometime after the birth of their second child circa 1849 and the birth of their third child circa 1855. This may explain the interruption in the births. The family may have moved to Ohio with Mary’s mother Ann and her sister Ann, or they may have come later. But they’re with them in the 1860 census. This we know. We do know John B. Maloy is listed as having $600 in real estate, second to another man on the page who is listed as having $3000 in real estate and they are the only two real property holders on the page. Not knowing what amount of value $600 represents, (was it a paid property, was there a mortgage on it, was it a conservative/extravagant value?) we know at least that the family had some means; at least enough to own their own home, or at least enough to lay claim to their own home. As he is listed as a “Keeper of a Coffee House” was that a polite way, a politically correct way, of saying a Bar Owner? Was the serving of alcohol legal in Cincinnati in 1860? Tee-totaling prohibition was on a phenomenal rise in the 1840's and 1850's. In 1851, Maine passed a law forbidding the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. Twelve other states followed suit over the next four years. In Ohio, the prohibition of the sale of alcoholic beverages was on the ballot in 1853, with Cincinnati wine-maker Nicholas Longworth waging a public fight that was victorious, mainly because of voting results in the German wards. As the Civil War approached, prohibition took a back seat to sectional issues like slavery and tariffs. By 1860, ten of the 13 states with prohibition laws had repealed them. An 1874 Anti Drinking Print by Artist Nast: Shows Police as Pigs: Hand colored, engraved cartoon by Thomas Nast, from the June 13, 1874 issue of Harper’s Weekly. Title is "Jewels Among Swine." A caption beneath the image explains that the Cincinnati police were protecting bar owners while persecuting the Christian women who protested outside drinking establishments. Did the family live at their place of business? None of this we know. I’m adding in here family lore from Patty and Mom’s visit to Ireland where from they came back and reported that the Molloy name was associated with bar ownership in Ireland. Was this a family business skill transplanted to their new home? If Dan and Ann were born in Cincinnati, there may be birth records with the county. There may be baptism records with the Archdiocese. They may be listed under the Maloy name. Was this a misspelling? About Irish immigration in this period: The Irish were unfortunately divided during much of the nineteenth century and was therefore helpless in the face of its grave problems. The Act of Union of 1803 incorporated the island into British polity, but was useless in easing the difficult situation of the people. With an overly large population as the result of the Napoleonic Wars, the Irish soon became impoverished. And with the religious prejudice of Protestant Masters to the Catholic Irish, plus political subordination, many had no alternative by to emigrate to the United States for relief. Between 1820 and 1860, the Irish were never less than a third of all immigrants. The British Passenger Acts attempted to deflect the immigration from the British Isles to Canada instead of the U.S., making the fare a cheap 15 shilling compared to the 4 or 5 pound fare to New York. Many Irish soon found it convenient to take the affordable trip to Canada, where they could buy cheap fares to the U.S., or cheaper yet, they could walk across the border. By 1840, the Irish constituted nearly half of all entering immigrants, and New England found it self heavily foreign born. By 1950, the Irish consisted of one fifth of all foreign born in the originally homogenous region. In 1845, the great potato rot touched off a mass migration. The disaster eliminated the sole subsistence of millions of peasants, thrusting them over the edge of starvation. For five weary years, the crops remained undependable, and famine swept through the land. Untold thousands perished, and the survivors, destitute of hope, wished only to get away (Handlin, 1972). Even though these "famine Irish" were driven out of their homeland by the terrible potato blight which destroyed the basic food supply of the Irish peasants in the late 1840's, prior to this, English landlords were driving Irish peasants off the land beginning in the 1820's, finding it more profitable to graze sheep to produce wool than to collect meager rents from the peasants. In fact, to speed the process, the landlords would buy one-way ship passages for those they evicted to get them out of Ireland quickly and cheaply. At this time, many large ships carried grain and lumber from the United States to Europe and needed ballast to weigh down their empty holds when returning to America. For almost nothing, landlords could pay to ship their human cargo abroad as ballast, in many cases to the Northeastern United States and Canada. Freighters, which carried American and Canadian timber to Europe, offered fares as low as $17 to $20 between Liverpool and Boston-fares subsidized by English landlords eager to be rid of the starving peasants. As many as 10 percent of the emigrants perished while still at sea. In 1847, 40,000 (or 20 percent) of those who set out from Ireland died along the way. "If crosses and tombs could be erected on water," wrote the U.S. commissioner for emigration, "the whole route of the emigrant vessels from Europe to America would long since have assumed the appearance of a crowded cemetery." The only mode of escape was emigration. Starving families that could not pay landlords faced no alternative but to leave the country in hopes of a better future. And thus the steadily scaling number of Irish who entered the U.S. between 1820 and 1830 skyrocketed in the 1840s, nearly 2 million came in that decade. The flow persisted increasingly for another five years, as the first immigrants began to earn the means of sending for relatives and friends. The decade after 1855 showed a subside in the movement, but smaller numbers continued to arrive after the Civil War. Altogether, almost 3.5 million Irishmen entered the U.S. between 1820 and 1880. Emigrating to the U.S. wasn't the magical solution for most of the immigrants. Peasants arrived without resources, or capital to start farms or businesses. Few of them ever accumulated the resources to make any meaningful choice about their way of life. Fortunately for them, the expansion of the American economy created heavy demands for muscle grunt. The great canals, which were the first links in the national transportation system were still being dug in the 1820s and 1830s, and in the time between 1830 and 1880, thousands of miles of rail were being laid. With no bulldozers existing at the time, the pick and the shovel were the only earth-moving equipment at the time. And the Irish laborers were the mainstay of the construction gangs that did this grueling work. In towns along the sites of work, groups of Irish formed their small communities to live in. By the middle of the nineteenth century, as American cities were undergoing rapid growth and beginning to develop an infrastructure and creating the governmental machinery and personnel necessary to run it, the Irish and their children got their first foothold- on the ground floor. Irish policemen and firemen are not just stereotypes: Irish all but monopolized those jobs when they were being created in the post-Civil War years, and even today Irish names are clearly over-represented in those occupations (Daniels, 1990). Irish workmen not only began laying the horsecar and streetcar tracks, but were some of the first drivers and conductors. The first generations worked largely at unskilled and semiskilled occupations, but their children found themselves working at increasingly skilled trades. By 1900, when Irish American mend made up about a thirteenth of the male labor force, they were almost a third of the plumbers, steamfitters, and boilermakers. Industry working Irish soon found themselves lifted up into boss and straw-boss positions as common laborers more and more arrived from southern and eastern Europe- Italians, Slavs, and Hungarians. In years after 1860, Irish Immigration persisted. More than 2.6 million Irish came in the decades after 1860. However, larger numbers of immigrants from elsewhere masked the inflow of Irish people. Those Irish who did continue to flow into the U.S. tended to settle in the already existing Irish communities, where Catholic Churches had been built, and cultural traditions were carried out. However materialistically poor they were, the Irish were rich in cultural resources, developing institutions that helped them face hardship without despair. Cultural events such as St. Patrick's Day were regarded by most Americans as evidence of the separateness of these immigrants, but helped hold the Irish culture together. Their desire for self-expression showed that the Irish understood their group identity. Poor as they were, they drew strength from a culture that explained their situation in the world and provided spiritual resources to face if not to solve the problem. Aside from the church, the most important media of that culture were the press and the stage. All Irish newspapers had either a nationalistic or a religious base, some published as church organs, other drawing support from patriotic societies. Their newspapers interpreted news, accommodated information, and printed popular poems and stories. The stage was even more appealing because it did not demand literacy, presenting to attentive audiences dramas as real as life but not as painful. By the late 1800s, the painful initial Irish transplantation into American society had ended. Second and third generation born and educated in the U.S. replaced the immigrants, but their heritage still stemmed from the peasants' flight from Ireland and of the hardships of striking new roots in the New World.
