The Patrick DALY in my family comes by way of a mention of "PATRICK DALY, JR" in a Will that a GGuncle, James DALY wrote on December 11, 1842. It says that if James' son, Renselaer, did not survive James, then his land should be given to Patrick DALY, Jr. James DALY died by 1843, and the land remained in possession of his 1 year old son, Renselaer until he was old enough to sell it.

This land was in Pittsfield, Lorain, Ohio. I could not find a Patrick on the 1840 OH Census, nor the 1850 Census, so I've no clue what happened to him, or how exactly he was related.

We had a John Patrick born in the 1870s and I'm a Patricia, but it wasn't a name repeated like we did with Francis, Lawrence, James and John.

I've written this off-list to some, but am posting it for all. We are said to be from County Cork, but I've found no proof of that. What I know, but have not found in any ship arrivals, is that James and John DALY were in Ohio by 1833. Lawrence was in the US by 1830, but doesn't show up on an Ohio Census until 1850. Perhaps Patrick was also a brother, maybe a nephew, but again, his name didn't get repeated within the family other than the two examples given.
