JOHN SMITH AND FAMILY

John Smith emigrated to Kelly’s Cross about 1840. Having settled here and operating a farm, he married Bridget Mulligan October 23, 1854. They had a family of ten children, namely: Mary Ann, Katie, Lizzie, Theresa (Mrs. Peter Gibbs of Tignish), Staehe (Mrs. James Malone of Hope River). The boys are Leo, Philip, Joseph, Michael and Jerome.

Philip married Mary McGuigan, Brookvale. Their daughter Annie married Louis McManus of Maplewood and they had a family of four.

Grandfather Smith had four brothers: Philip, who remained in Brookvale, Michael moved to Maple Plains, James took up residence in St. Theresa’s and Sarah married Barney McGuigan and lived in Brookvale. His wife Bridget died in 1907.

We are particularly interested in the family of Jerome, who mar- ried Maria Callaghan, daughter of John Callaghan and Ellen Clarkin, Jan- uary 19, 1904, because their son—in-law Mark is living on the old home- stead, and his son Vernon is still farming the land. Jerome and Maria had a large family of fourteen children, eight girls and six boys.

The boys are: Joseph (February 18, 1907), Leo (July 12, 1912), James Anthony (June 3, 1920), St. Clair (December 4, 1918), Linus (August 12, 1921) Dominic Francis (August 12, 1924.

The girls are: Mary Ellen (October 17, 1904), Helen (December 4, 1905, Mary Francis (March 14, 1909) Elizabeth Rose (November 3, 1910), Margaret Josephine (November 14, 1913), Rita (April 2, 1916), Sarah Ann (October 13, 1917), Catherine Maria (February 14, 1923).

Some of the boys married and they and their families are living in other parts of Canada.
