Biography* Catherine "Kitty" Carron Clancy, 1801-1884:
The Carrons came to Fermanagh, probably from County Donegal, much earlier than the Clancys. Circa 1830, there were no Carron families in Kinawley parish but there were six Carron families in the neighboring parish of Killesher; James, John, Manus, Philip, William, and Jane. By 1862, the number of Carron families in Killesher had grown from six to eleven: William in Clontyferagh; John, Michael, and Thomas in Drumbrughas; James, John, Joseph, Michael, and Philip in Drumsroohil; James in Mackan Glebe; and Patrick in Trustan Glebe. In addition, there were now two in Kinawley: Cormac in Tiravally Glebe; and Manus in Crocknacreevy. At least two Carrons were sponsors at the christenings of Catherine's children. Anne Carron was listed in 1842, 1844 and 1847. Cormac Carron was listed in 1844. Based on customary naming conventions, Catherine's father may have been James, the name given her second male child. Later male children which may have been named after Carrons include John, Michael, and Joseph. Catherine's only daughter, Catherine, could have been named after her own mother, herself, or both.

Catherine died on a Sunday. She was about 83-years-of-age. No tombstone has been found in either Kinawley or Glenfarne.

Biography* Catherine Clancy Leonard, ca1835-1912:
Catherine was the third born, of nine, from Edward Clancy testimony in brother John's 1918 probate. Her birth year recorded here was calculated from her age as reported in the 1911 census. This maintains the birth order listed in the 1918 probate. Catherine may have been born as early as 1827 (calculated from her age at death on her 1912 death cert). Of course, her older brother James would have had to have been born earlier also. Catherine married John Leonard in the Kinawley village church, County Fermanagh in 1857. No ages, parents, residences or witnesses are listed in the church record. After their marriage, Catherine and John lived in the townland of Abocurragh in Cleenish parish. They had six known children, four girls and two boys. The oldest girl is identified by her marriage. There are christening records in Cleenish for four of the others, two girls and two boys. The four oldest, three girls and one boy, went to the USA. These emigrants all lived in Massachusetts near Boston, two in Worcester, one in Milford, and one in Lynn. Catherine continued to live in the Abocurragh house after husband John died. She is not listed in Abocurragh in the 1911 census but with her daughter and son-in-law, Mary Anne and James Farmer in Gortatole townland, Cleenish parish.

Catherine died at home on a Wednesday of old age. She was 85. Her son-in-law, James Farmer, was the informant on her death record. Catherine's place of burial is not known. Soon after her death, son-in-law James Farmer purchased the farm from the landlord, Hen. G. Archdall. No one ever lived in the house again.

Although there are Leonards in the Cleenish parish today, none have been found that are connected to this John Leonard as of June 1995. The derelict house still stands.

Biography* Edward Clancy, 1838-1920:
The fifth of nine children, Edward claimed that he was born the "night of the big wind" in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. This made for a good story, and there was, in fact, a horrific windstorm in County Fermanagh on 6 January 1939. However, according to Kinawley church records, Edward was christened two-weeks earlier on the 23rd of December in 1938. Edward's christening took place at the parish church in the village of Kinawley in County Fermanagh and was sponsored by Philip Dolan and Kitty M'Grath. The church building in which that sacrament was performed has since been replaced.

As he had with the story about his birth, Edward often time-fixed past events in his own life by relating them to other historical or newsworthy events. As in ... "that was the year that so-and-so ran for President." Alas, like with the story of his birth, these rememberances have not proven to be very accurate. Further, Edward's memory of dates hasn't proven to be much better. A case in point is his immigration to the U.S.A. and subsequent naturalization. Edward filed a declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States with the Clerk of Circuit Court at Woodstock in McHenry County on 13 June 1868. In this declaration, he declared that he left Liverpool, England on or about the 12th of June in 1863, arriving at the Port of New York in July. Edward was granted citizenship on the 19th of October in the same year that he declared; i.e., 1868.

If the U.S. laws governing naturalization were followed, Edward arrived in the United States at least five-years before naturalization; i.e., before 19 October 1863. This corresponds with his date of arrival as certified in his declaration of intent. However, he has not been found on any passenger list under a name even close to "Edward Clancy" and at an age that is plausible. It seems likely that Edward would remember the time of year he arrived - at least the season if not the month - even if he incorrectly remembered the year. But, the only Edward Clancy found in the passenger lists searched to date, that is plausible, not only crossed the great pond in October instead of June/July but crossed it in 1864 - not 1863 or earlier. If this Edward Clancy, who arrived at the Port of New York on 25 October 1864 aboard the "Belle Wood" is ours, then he apparently was not yet eligible for citizenship on the date that he actually recieved it. The declaration was sworn to by Edward before the Clerk of the Circuit Court. The application for citizenship included an affadavit from a John Donnelly attesting to the fact that he, John Donnelly, had known Edward Clancy for five-years-or-more and that during that time Edward had resided in the country continuously. Perhaps the declaration, application and affifavit were all the proof the judge required.

Edward, however, took citizenship and its responsibilities very seriously. He once cut short a trip to New York City so he could return home and vote in a party primary. And although Edward never learned to read or write, he was able to sign his name to his declaration of intent and citizenship papers. In 1865, he received a letter from his brother Peter in Ireland with the news that their father had died.

When Edward came to McHenry County, following two brothers who had settled there eight years earlier, he took up residence in Woodstock and was employed as a gardener. After his marriage in 1871, he graduated from gardening to farming and rented a succession of farms in the area. First, he farmed 160 acres in section 31 of Hebron Township on what was later called the Foreman farm. Then, he spent time on the 120 acre Lambert farm in section 21 of Hartland Township. Circa 1880, he moved to what was called, in 1920, the William McGraw farm in Richmond Township, staying there for seventeen years.

Edward's wife Susan died a week after giving birth in 1886. The newborn was raised by a neighbor.6 Edward raised the other seven by himself. At the time his wife died, the seven ranged in age from two to thirteen. Susan McNulty's funeral was held from the church in Richmond and she was buried in the cemetery next to the church (this according to her obituary). However, at some point, Edward purchased a large 10-grave plot in Calvary cemetery in Woodstock where a large tombstone has been erected to honor Susan (no tombstone is erected in the Richmond cemetery). According to the Calvary sexton records at Saint Marys in Woodstock, Susan is interred in this plot along with Edward himself and four of their sons. Saint Mary's records don't list occupants for the other four graves. The records are known to be incomplete but Susan's parents are probably in two of them. Both of their obituaries list Calvary as their burial places and there is no other record of their burials.

In 1889, Edward joined the Modern Woodmen of America, a popular fraternal life insurance society. He was a member of Camp 229 located in Woodstock, Illinois. Upon his death in 1920, the $2000 benefit was divided between children, Edward, T. Hugh, John, Martha and Mary. In December of 1897, at the age of 59 and 33 years after arriving in the Colonies, Edward bought a farm in Section 30 of Hebron township. He bought land from Albert C Manley on 1 Dec 1897, from Franklin Baird on 13 May 1898 and from Wm. J. Austin on 31 May 1898. By the end of that time, Edward had acquired a total of 130 acres in two parcels. The larger parcel of 90 acres included the Mauley homestead. He paid $6776 total for the properties.

On 30 November 1907, Edward bought a house in Harvard City. The house, at 302 West Burbank between 2nd and 3rd, was built about 1900 and still stands. According to one of the current owners (in 2002), Bob Dapper, the house has never had additions, either added or removed, and has never been remuddled on the inside. Edward owned the house for almost six-years. We don't know who lived in the Harvard house. Edward apparently did not. He sold the house on 14 August 1913 for $3400 and is listed as a resident of Harvard at the sale. That's the first time since he bought the farm in 1897 that his residence is not listed as Hebron. He apparently continued to live in Harvard for another two years after the sale. Best guess - sometime after the marriage of his daughter Mary, Edward left the farm to live with his daughter Susan and her husband Frank Behringer in Harvard and then moved, with them, to Woodstock during 1915.

On 16 February 1915, Edward sold the farm for $16,375 except for a small piece which he sold on 21 December of that year for $175. He took back a mortgage on the farm, the interest from which helped finance his retirement. We don't know who operated the farm in the growing season between son Joseph's death in 1913 and the sale. Maybe Edward didn't like being a londlord. On 9 September 1915, Edward signed a will leaving his estate to his six children and to the three children of his deceased son Joseph. He left $1000 to son Edward, $2000 to daughter Susan Behringer, $3000 to daughter Martha Haley, $3500 to daughter Mary Gerber, $3500 to son John, $3250 to son T. Hugh, and $3750 to the three children of his deceased son Joseph. His son T. Hugh was appointed executor.

In 1916, Edward's brother John died in South Dakota. John left part of his estate to a brother Joseph who had come to the United States in 1868. Joseph's last known address was in New York City. Seventy-seven-year-old Edward Clancy traveled from his home in Woodstock, Illinois to New York to look for his brother whom he had not seen in 45 years. His son Terence Hugh accompanied him. They stayed for a week or more at 487 Lexington Avenue while they searched, unsuccessfully, for the missing brother. Edward was named in his brother John Clancy's will to a receive a one-third interest in the brother's 160-acre farm in Lynn Township, Lincoln County, South Dakota. On 5 July 1919, Edward sold his one-third interest in the farm to twins Fred and Henry Gerber of Worthing for $12,000.7

In the spring of 1917, Edward went to live with son Hugh in Chicago for a few months while daughter Martha in Woodstock was giving birth to a son. In 1919, Edward moved to the Resthaven sanitorium in Elgin, Illinois.

He died on a Saturday while visiting his daughter, Mrs. C.A. Haley, at her Judd Street home in Woodstock's 3rd Ward. The cause of death was old age. Arteria sclerosis, with which he had been afflicted for 15 years, was a contributory cause. He was survived by six of his eight children. Funeral services were held on Tuesday from Saint Mary's in Woodstock with the Rev. Keenan of Harvard assisting at the funeral mass. Pall bearers were Thomas Lawler, W. T. Slavin, Thomas O'Halleran, R. D. Croak, Timothy Leonard and George B. Haley. He was buried in Calvary Cemetery in Woodstock next to his wife, Susan McNulty. Others who attended from out of town were: M/M P. H. Haley, Mrs. J. P. Sullivan, Thomas & Peter Keenan, M/M John J. Clancy and Mrs. T. C. Nolan (all of Chicago); George B. Haley (Des Plaines); Mrs. George Meyers (Richmond) (Edward's former teacher); M/M A. J. Cole (Hebron); and Miss Nellie A. Kearns of New York City (Edward's niece).

We have made a number of trips to Counties Fermanagh and Leitrim in attempts to connect Edward Clancy more closely to our Irish roots. On one of these trips a Clancy cousin in Kinwaley put us onto a Clancy man living in a nursing home in Enniskillen where she worked. We went to visit this delightful gentleman and although we could not establish a family connection, the picture he graciously allowed us to take shows a marked resemblance to Edward.

Biography* Edward Clancy Davis, 1882-????:
Edward was christened on 26 March 1882 at Saint Agnes church in Brooklyn, New York by the Rev. M. T. Kilahy with sponsors James Quinn and Ann Costello. Edward did not have pleasant memories of his father. Most of his recollections centered around Joseph's drinking and the lack of financial support.

He used the name Edward C. Davis exclusively after his step-father invited him to use the Davis surname in Scranton, Pennsylvania about 1897. However, he was never adopted and never legally changed his name. Edward was employed as an actor in New York by A. H. Woods, Eltinge Theatre Building, West 42nd Street. He married an actress in 1914 but continued to live with his mother as he had for his entire life except when he was traveling with his theater company. Edward supported his mother after his step-father died. He was a member of the Joppa Lodge 201, Masonic Temple, Lafayette Avenue, NYC. Edward's death date is unknown. We know he survived his mother and is not buried in her plot in Saint Michael's cemetery, East Elmhurst.

Biography* John Clancy, 1837-1916:
John, the fourth born of nine, immigrated to the USA in late 1863 or early 1864. He arrived at Saint Patrick's church in Hartland Township, McHenry County, Illinois in time to be a sponsor at the christening of his brother James' son John on 31 January 1864. He remained in the area long enough to sponsor a child of James McCauley and Margaret Leonard4 in November of 1865 but he was not listed in the 1865 state census of McHenry County in June.

In 1871, John applied for 160 acres in Section 3 of Township 98 Range 50 of Lincoln County, Dakota Territory5 under the 1862 Homestead Act. His Homestead Application was number 2367. By law, he had to have been naturalized at the time of application. By 1876, he had constructed a house on the land that was 12 feet by 14 feet, one story high, with one door and one window. He had plowed and cultivated 25 acres of land, dug a well and planted three acres of forest trees. Having thus sufficiently improved his homestead to the satisfaction of the Bureau of Land Management he was granted Homestead Certificate 1328 for his land. The certificate was issued on 30 June 1876 during the presidency of Ullysses S. Grant and the 100th year of United States independence.

Also in 1876, the first school in the Worthing area was built on John's homestead, a structure built of sod. There were 30 students in the school representing the west portion of school district 27 and the east section of district 50. Students included many Gerbers living in the area; e.g., twins Henry F. Gerber and Fred Gerber, grandchildren of John's brother Edward, and their cousins Henry G. Gerber and Laura Gerber. Circa 1910, John retired to Worthing and rented a house. On 22 December 1910, he bought Lot 3/Block 5 in Worthing from Frank & Hattie Woodley for $250.

John, who never married, died testate in Lincoln County, South Dakota. His estate was approved for probate and the final decree was issued on 12 June 1918 at Probate Court in Canton. The inventory of his estate included:

- Homestead valued at $16,000.00

- Lot in Worthing, SD 200.00

- Cash on hand 290.25

- CD, State Bank of Worthing 2,522.93

Personal Property

- 1 bedstead 2.00

- 6 chairs 1.50

- 1 table 1.00

- 1 shot gun 4.00

- 1 cook stove .50

--------------

Total $19,022.18

Debts were estimated not to exceed $200.

The lot in the Village of Worthing, Lot 3 in Block 5, was bequeathed to Mary Clancy Gerber, daughter of his brother Edward. The personal property was bequeathed to his brother Edward. The homestead, cash and CD were split equally, one-third each, between his brother Edward, his nephew John Clancy, son of his brother James (and the deceased John's god son), and, Edward Clancy Davis, son of his brother Joseph.

Biography* John D. Clancy, 1875-1952:
Born in McHenry County, Illinois probably in either Hebron or Hartland Townships,4 John grew up on farms in those areas. By 1900 he had entered college and after graduation practiced law in the City of Chicago. John married Lucy Milicent White of Boone County in 1908 and in 1909 the happy couple was living at 5558 Lexington in Chicago. By 1914, they had purchased a home, with mortgage, at 280 Blackhawk Road in Riverside, Cook County. By 1920, John's law practice had offices in the Otis Building in Chicago. Later, he became a Justice-of-the-Peace. John developed a love of the land during his childhood on the farm in McHenry County and retained this love into adulthood. He and Milicent owned farms in Lake and Wexford Counties in Michigan where they vacationed with their children.

John, age 77, died on a Monday as the result of a stroke suffered nine days earlier. He was at home in Riverside, working in the family garden, at the time of the attack. He was survived by his wife, two sons, two daughters and nine grandchildren. Services were held at the Ivins Funeral Home chapel at 80 Burlington Road, Riverside, on Wedneday. His burial was private.
