The Patrick Stoney and Catharina McClusky Family and the Patrick Stoney and Mary Hayden Family of South Bend, Indiana: An Analysis of Patrick Stoney's Families with his First Wife Catharina and Second Wife Mary and Their Migration from Ireland to South Bend Indiana and Beyond in South Bend St. Joseph Church and Sacred Heart Church Records, Census and other Resources

Patrick Stoney appears to have married his first wife Catharina McClusky at Sacred Heart Church, South Bend, Indiana on August 1, 1861. She appears to have died sometime after the St. Joseph Church 1876 Census was conducted but before the St. Joseph Church Census of 1880 when he was listed with his second wife Mary Hayden and their mixed families. His second wife Mary J or Jennie appears to die sometime between 1919 and 1920 when the South Bend Directory information was collected. Patrick does not appear in the 1921, 1923 or 1925 South Bend Directory (nor does anyone at the 233 So. St Louis Street address that was his home for many years ) making it likely that he died between 1920 and 1921.

The objective of this compilation is to try to establish the earliest possible evidence of this family in the United States through all available resources. I would love to hear from anyone who believes that they may be a descendent of this family so that we can work together to find their origins in Ireland and migration trail to the U.S. This will most definitely be a work in progress and all findings I speculate on would have to be proven for accuracy with Ireland and U.S. marriage records, church baptismal records and death records among other genealogical resources. Please use this information with that caveat in mind so that nothing is assumed and no stones are left unturned to assure it's your family and the connection is accurate. Please contact me if you feel that you are descended from this family or another South Bend, Indiana Irish Family so that we can share information, see if there were common migration trails followed and delve further back into their origins in Ireland!

Other Stoney Records: There was a Gulielmi Williams born to a Mathias Williams and Anna Stoney (both From Hybernia) who was born May 5 and baptized May 11, 1862 at Sacred Heart Church, Notre Dame Patritius Foy and Brig Garvey were sponsors). There was a St Joseph Church First Communion record for a John Stoney in 1911 that may or may not be a descendent of this family (microfilm 1617235 item 2)

Cedar Grove Cemetery Notations in the microfilm on the Stoney Family: Entry for a Stoney ($6.00 payment) on page entitled L McGann (I believe a funeral home) possibly 1921 (the month is not legible but it was the 28th of possibly April. The Stoney family is listed as having lot 342 (microfilm 1637531 item 3).
