I have some information about a John James Moriarty born in Springfield, MA.He was born in Springfield, MA, 10/2/1883.However, I don't think this is the same person you are looking for, since he died in Springfield MA in 1944.He was my mother's grandfather and she has memories of him living in her home when she was a child.However there is a possibility they are related somehow.Information I have is that he was the youngest of 13 children.I am only aware of a few of the older siblings. He was a locomotive piper, short, bow legged, and a rollerskating champion.His parents were Michael and Johanna both born in Ireland.
