PATRICK MOORE |
|
| Patrick Moore, our emigrant ancestor,
was born or baptized January 30, 1830 in Hacketstown,
county Carlow, Ireland. He was one of 9 children born to
Lawrence Moore and Ann Sweeney. His father was born in
1795 in Rathnagrew, County Carlow, Ireland, and his
mother in 1796 in Rathshanmore, County Carlow. He was
married to Norah McMahon some time prior to 1856 when
their first child was born. Their marriage record has
never been found. We do know Patrick was in Hudson, WI as early as 1855. He purchased property there on December 15, 1855, and additional property on April 1, 1857. His brothers John, Peter, Lawrence, Christopher and Joseph also came to the Hudson area. One brother, Thomas, may have come over at the same time, but made his home in Auburn, NY and died there in the 1870's. There are still descendants of Thomas Moore living in Syracuse NY. Another brother, Dennis, and a sister Elisa, remained in Ireland and descendants of Dennis Moore have been contacted. Patrick died May 11, 1903 in St. Paul Minnesota and is buried at Calvary Cemetery in St. Paul with his wife Norah. See INDEX OF SURNAMES for information on his parents and siblings.
