Melady's from Cavan
Patrick Carolan 2/21/03
My great great grandmother's maiden name was also Mary Melady. Born in 1816, probably in County Cavan. Married Peter Cooney in Cavan and came to the US with her four children in 1852. Children were Philip, John, Daphney and Connor. Fifth child, Peter jr. was born in PA. Family moved to Chickasaw County Iowa in 1870. 1850 PA. census shows Peter living with Patrick Melady. Possibly his brother-in-law? Can't find any record of Patrick Melady after that.
