ebook History of Watertown, Wisconsin
Daly,
Reynolds
My great-great-grandparents,
Barnaby Reynolds and Monica Brown Reynolds settled in Watertown in 1846, coming
from Illinois, with their daughter Martha and (probably) their son John
Reynolds. Barnaby and John ran a nursery in
Watertown for many years.
Meanwhile,
my great-grandfather-to-be, Timothy Daly, from County Kerry, IRELAND, by way of
Smethport PA, arrived at about the same time, probably traveling with his
parents James Daly and Mary MacGillycuddy Daly, who
had just sold their land in Smethport (all are in the 1850 census of
Watertown).
Timothy
and Martha were married in St. Bernard's Catholic Church in June, 1847. Barnaby and Monica are buried just inside the
gate to St. Bernard's Cemetery. She lived
until nearly 100. Both she and her
husband were born in Maryland in the 18th century. They were married in Bardstown KY in
1813. Barnaby fought in the War of 1812,
at the Battle of New Orleans.
Additionally,
my Bohan family arrived in 1846 from Tipperary, settling to the east of Watertown, in
Hartford. My grandfather Edmond Bohan married the daughter of Tim Daly and Martha Reynolds:
Emma.
