Patrick H Crowe was born in Galway County on Mar 5, 1838 . His parents were Michael Crowe and Mary Ward. I located a Michael Crowe in Griffith's evaluation in Beach County, townlands: Rindifin and Cloonnahaha. In looking at the old maps and new maps, this appears to be in the area of Gort. I thought it interesting that Gort has several "Crowe" roads, so I am hoping there are Crowe family members that stayed in Ireland that can help fill in the blanks for me.
Patrick H Crowe arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on May 20, 1855. He married Mary Martin in Grafton, Massachusetts on Nov 2, 1862. Her parents were James Martin and Catherine Smith who lived in Termonfeckin, Louth, Ireland.
They had 10 children in Grafton, Massachusetts: Michael H., John B (My grandfather), Catherine M, James E, Thomas F., Joseph P., William Raymond, George Alfred, Martin Leo and Mary Jane. I have pictures of their headstone and have found the birth records through Ancestry.
Patrick had a brother and sister that came to Massachusetts as well:
Bernard Crowe Born May1837, Married Bridget Tonery Nov. 19, 1865 in Grafton, Mass., Died Sept 12, 1914 in Westboro, Mass. I found a passenger manifest with a Bernd Crow, age 19, listed on the North American boat that arrived in Boston in 1854. Bernard had 4 children: Michael H., Thomas Francis, Mary Jane and Catherine E.
Bridget T. Crowe born about 1843, Married Aug 10, 1862 to James A. Hanley Jr. in Grafton Mass, Died Nov 16, 1888 in Worcester Mass. Bridget and James had 13 children: John E., Joseph W., James F., Mary J., Katherine F., George Aloysius, Jennie M., Thomas Matthew., Cara E., Eleanor R., Ida M., Charles Aloysius, and Sarah T.
