PATRICK MAHONEY (1823-1895) (Parents Unknown)
MARY McCARTHY (1826-1910) (Parents Unknown)

Both Patrick and his wife Mary were born somewhere in Ireland but there have as yet been no records to indicate what part of Ireland they came from or where they were married. The first information is that by 1847 they were already married and living in Jamestown Virginia. They appear to have remained in Virginia until 1854 when the came west to Minnesota. One of their children is thought to have died during this trip. Upon their arrival in St. Paul, Patrick looked at settling land located on Ramsey Hill Bluff overlooking the city. Because water was not easily available in this area he decided against this property and instead moved to out to Dakota Co. in the spring of 1855. He ended up settling 160 acres in section 6 of Lakeville Twp. near Crystal Lake.
