I am also researching my Donnelly family from Pennsylvania. My 4xgreat-grandfather was Patrick DONNELLY of Houtzdale, Clearfield Co., PA. He was born between 1839 and 1842. Unknown where or when he died. His wife was Catherine MCLAUGHLIN, born about 1843-44. In the 1870 federal census, Patrick was a miner living in Houtzdale, PA. A local history book says he built a hotel in Houtzdale.
From the 1870 and 1880 census reports, the following children are listed: James F., born Aug 1859; Barbara, born 1862; John, born 1864; Catherine, born 1866; Sarah, born 1868; Richard, born Mar 1869; Mary Ann, born 1875; and Robert, born 1878.
I descend from James F. Donnelly, who married Agnes Cecelia CROWLEY. Their children were: Patrick, b. 1883; Mary Ann, b. Oct 1884 (md. Wm. Curtis PEYTON); Michael, b. Aug 1887; John "Jack" b. Jan 1889 (md. Cora ALLMAN); David Leo, b. Sept 1890 (md. Mary MOWERY); Nora Marie, b. Jan 1892 (md. Guy Rufus VAN NORT); Julia V., b. Mar 1894 (md. George VIRGIN); Agnes, b. AUg 1898 (md. Ola F. "Slim" Hay).
Don't know where James and Agnes Donnelly died, but they lived in Brownsfield, Fayette Co., PA in Oct 1915 when one of their daughters married.
From the above listed children, I descend from Mary Ann "Minnie" Donnelly. She was born in Houtzdale, then lived in the Johnstown area before moving to Erie, PA. Many of her sisters and brothers moved to the Detriot, MI area. One brother, John, died in Peru, Indiana.
Please contact me and let me know how you are related to Patrick and Catherine Donnelly.
Sincerely,
