This Quealy family is from from County Clare, Ireland. Patrick and Mary are
believed to have been the first to arrive in Minnesota
settling, with their families, on adjacent farms in Eagan township,
Dakota County Minnesota.
Bridget Quealy married Patrick Cleary in 1860 in the log building on the
Cleary homestead in Scott County, Minnesota. The Clearys were
also from County Clare. Bridget's obituary noted that she was
survived by two sisters, Mrs. Michael Hoy and Mrs. Peter Cleary, and one
brother, John, living in Ireland.
Catherine and Honorah Quealy were living on the Eagan farm with Patrick Quealy
and Margaret Gorman before their weddings. Catherine Quealy married Mike
Hoy in Hennepin County in 1860 and settled at 703 Main Street NE in St. Anthony
(now Minneapolis). It is not known when Honorah was married, but it must
have been shortly after the marriage of her sisters because by the mid -1860s
she was living on her husband's farm in Credit River MN.
Mary Quealy Gorman is clearly related to Patrick and she and her husband
settled in Eagan near Patrick. Mary's maiden name is listed as Quealy on
the baptismal certificates of six of her children. She is thought to
be Patrick's sister and her husband, John Gorman, may be Margaret Gorman's
brother. Mary's youngest child, David, was living on the Patrick Quealy farm
in 1885. In 1889, there was a marriage of an Ann Gorman who was a cousin
of Mrs. Susan Hyland Quealy.
In 1855, Honorah Queally (1812-1872), her husband, John Haugh, and their
children Edward, Michael and Margaret, arrived in Minnesota. This family
first emigrated to the U.S. in 1835 and returned to Ireland that year. They
came again in 1849 living in Philadelphia for two years. The John Haugh &
Honorah Queally family settled in Credit River. According to descendent John
Haugh, this family is also from County Clare - from the area of Haugh's Cross
in Lisheencrony about 5 miles by road from Kilkee. The relationship between
Honorah and the Quealys who settled in Eagan and Minneapolis is unknown.
PATRICK QUEALY (1814-1886) (Son
of John H. Quealy and Mary O'Connor)
MARGARET GORMAN (1829-1884) (Parents Unknown)
By 1853, Patrick was married and living somewhere in Pennsylvania. Little
is known about his wife except that she was born in Lisacasey CountyClare
Ireland and her maiden name was Gorman. After the birth of their first child
Patrick and Margaret moved west and arrived in Minnesota, eventually taking
up a claim in Eagan Twp in Dakota Co. There were several
Gorman families that also settled in Eagan and they may have been related
to Patrick's wife.
