THE FAMILIES As was related in another section of this book, twelve families were the earliest Catholic settlers in the community. An effort was made to try and trace these families in relation to those living here at present, hut it was impossible to be sure of the descendants, as the church records did not go back far enough, so it was decided to ask each family to do its own research. This is the result. Some families decided not to appear in the book, some went into much detail, while others, the majority, provided facts, names, dates, marriages and names of children. Most families felt that this would be sufficient information to identify their family, and provide information Tor those who sought to recall friends and former neighbors. THE BRADLEY FAMILY Patrick and James Bradley were brothers and Andy Bradley , a cousin of theirs emigrated here from Ireland. It is impossible to deter¬ mine the date of their arrival, nor is it known whether they all came out at the same time. Patrick married Mary McNaughton , and they had two sons, Francis born in 1849, and John born in 1852. They lived on the farm now owned by Austin Carragher , Kelly's Cross. John, who never married, operated a general store in Kelly's Cross until his retirement. Francis married Eliza Ann Donnelly and lived on the family farm until his death in 1932. His wife had predeceased him. They had a family of 5 boys and 2 girls — John P., James Aeneas , George Austin , Eliza, Frances Jane , Wilfred. John Patrick , who took over his uncle's store married Mary Reid in 1904. They lived in the house now owned by Francis Carragher , and later moved to Charlottetown . Their family were: Mary Eliza and George, deceased, Austin, Annie, Janie and Robert. Another son Austin married Katie Smith and they reside in Char¬ lottetown with their family of six children, five sons and one daughter. Annie did not marry, and lives in Charlottetown . Janie married Russel Bell . They are both deceased leaving a family of four sons and five daughters.
