1 Michael Harte

The Descendants of Michael Harte

Some decades ago, Joseph M. Lalley [1.4.2b.8] constructed two hand-drawn ancestral charts, one for the descendants of Michael Hart [b. ca 1870] in County Galway, the other for the descendants of Thomas Hannon [b. ca 1870] in County Galway, Ireland. Research, substantially aided by a fortunate find of a letter dated 10 December 1857 and written by John Hart to his brother Edward , has now documented that the ancestral home of Edward Hart, his paternal grandfather to be the townland Luggawannia, Cargin Parish in north County Galway, Ireland. Various church and civil records, it should be noted, have alternate spellings for “Luggawannia” as well as surnames “Hannon,” “Hart,” and “Lalley.”

The two charts contained only a few approximate dates and only one specific place. Despite these shortcomings, the two charts have not only proved remarkably accurate but invaluable research tools as well. Without them the Family History Reports would never have been as extensive and documented as they now are. Perhaps because his father died when he reached his fifth birthday, Mr. Lalley did not made a similar chart for the Lalley line.

1 Michael Harte

Birth: Luggawannia, Co. Galway

Religion: Catholic

Occupation: Farmer

According to a descendant chart prepared by Joseph M. Lalley, the first known Hart in the Lalley-Hart-Hannon ancestral line is Mihall O’Harte (Michael Harte or Michael Hart). No records have been found for this person; but his descendants leased land in the townland of Luggawannia, Killursa civil parish, in Co. Galway, IE.

Spouse: Mary ?

Children: John, (1799-1879), Patrick, Thomas

1.1 John Harte

Birth: 1799 [1]

Death: 19 May 1879, Loggawannia, Co. Galway, IE [2]

Although not shown on the JML descendant chart, Mihall Harte had a fourth son John who died a widower in Luggawannia on 19 March 1879 at the age of eighty. John Hart was the leaseholder of lands rented from Sir George S. Lynch in Luggawannia. Present at his death was Michael Harte who is also listed as a tenant in the 1855 Valuation of Tenements for Luggawannia, Cargin Parish.

Spouse: Honor

Birth: 1806

Death: 11 Jan 1874, Loggawannia, Co. Galway, IE [3]

1.2. Michael Hart

Birth: Ireland

Spouse: Winnifred Anderson

Michael and his wife Winnifred are cited as the parents of Margaret Hart on her Death Certificate as well as the JML descendant chart.

* No other records have been found for them nor are the names of their parents known. Moreover, it is not precisely clear on the JML descendant chart that the Michael shown [1] is his father though it seems reasonable to suppose that he was.

Children: Margaret (1830-1913), John

1.2.1. Margaret Hart

Birth: Jul 1830, Killursa Parish, Co. Galway, Ireland [4]

Occupation: Housekeeper for Senator James A. Bayard, Jr.

Death: 10 Jul 1913, Philadelphia, PA. [5]

Burial: 14 Jul 1913, Cathedral Cemetery, Wilmington [6]

The note, “Died a spinster,” appears on the JML descendant chart. Her death certificate lists the year of birth as 1830. The 1900 and 1910 US Census Philadelphia show her birth as July 1830. Margaret came to the US in 1852 and was employed as a domestic in the household of James A. Bayard, Jr., then a U.S. Senator for Delaware. In time she was appointed housekeeper for the Senator’s family and supervised her nieces Anna Hart [1.4.2b], Catherine (Kate) Hart [1.4.2g], and Bridget Lalley [1.3.3]. Upon his death Senator Bayard left her an annuity for life, honoring the request of his late wife.

“In accordance with my promise to my deceased wife and from my appreciation of her faithful services, I give and bequeath to Margaret Hart an annuity of one hundred dollars per annum and I charge this annuity on the residue of my estate ... ” [7]

1.2.2 John Hart

Birth: Co. Galway, Ireland *

* Died at age 12 as shown on the JML descendant chart.

1.3 Patrick Hart

Birth: Co. Galway, Ireland

Children: Patrick, Martin, Edward (1842-1904)

The JML descendant chart contains this comment, “sons Patrick and his brother Martin emigrated to the US circa 1830, said to have descendants in St. Louis.”

1.3.1 Patrick Hart

Birth: Co. Galway, IE

Patrick probably served as a baptismal sponsor for Catherine Hart, daughter of Edward and Bridget Hannon Hart.[8] He also may have been a baptismal sponsor for Michael Newell son of James Newell and Elizabeth Dooley who may, in turn, be related to the Mary Dooley referred to on the same descendant chart.[9] A Patrick Hart was the baptismal sponsor for James, son of Patrick Joyce and Mary Cunningham.[10] The Patrick Hart, laborer, shown living at Front & West Streets in the 1872 Wilmington City Directory may be the same person.

1.3.2 Martin Harte

Birth: Co. Galway, Ireland

Martin is listed on the JML descendant chart. No other records have yet been found for him.

1.3.3 Edward Hart

Birth: Mar 1842, Co. Galway, Ireland

Religion: Roman Catholic

Occupation: Liquor dealer, iron foundry worker

Death: 21 May 1904 of Uremia at home on 200 Washington St., Wilmington, DE.

Burial: 24 May 1904, Cathedral Cemetery, Wilmington, DE.

Edward Hart’s death certificate lists his age as fifty-six indicating that he was born in 1848.[11] The 1880 US Census, however, lists his age at thirty-eight implying that he was born in 1842. The 1900 Census lists March 1845 as year of birth. The same census states that he immigrated to US in 1865, the same year as future his wife, Bridget Lalley arrived in the United States. [12]

City directories from 1876 until at least 1883 reveal that the couple operated a wine and liquor business until at least 1883 at 423 East Front Street. Later directories indicate that the family moved to a number of different addresses, all located quote near each other in the southwestern sector of Wilmington. The 1900 US Census list 539 West 2^nd St. as their address.

Bridget worked in the household of Senator James A. Bayard, Jr. along with her relatives by marriage, Annie Hart [1.4.2a.2] and Catherine Hart [1.4.2g]. Both were under the supervision of Margaret Hart [1.2.1] who was the Senator’s housekeeper and the cousin or aunt of Annie Hart.

1.4 Thomas Harte

Birth: Co. Galway, Ireland

Religion: Catholic

Occupation: Farmer

Death: Luggawannia, Clydagh, Co. Galway

Cited on the JML descendant chart, Thomas, another son of Thomas Harte, was born circa 1800. He and his uncle John [1.1] were two of the ten land occupiers listed on the 1855 Valuation of Tenements in Luggawannia.[20] He was with his eighty-five year wife when she died.

Spouse: Mary Hines

Birth: 1789, Co. Galway [21]

1.4.1 John Harte

Birth: 1823, Luggawannia, Clydagh, Co. Galway [23]

Religion: Roman Catholic

Occupation: Royal Irish Constabulary #5083 [24]

Death: 22 Jan 1858 [25]

John Hart had been an employee of Sir George Staunton Lynch, the landlord for much of Cargin Parish in the Headford District. After receiving a recommendation from Sir George, John entered the Royal Irish Constabulary on 14 November 1842. At the end of his training, he was assigned to Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary, IE before being transferred to Templemore in the same county. The discovery of his 10 December 1857 letter to his brother Edward [1.4.2] who resided in Wilmington, DE identified Luggawannia as the Hart ancestral home. John also stated emphatically that he never intended to marry.

The JML descendant chart has the following notation: “John, civil servant, was killed by Fenians.” His personnel file lists the date of his death but not the cause.[26]

1.4.2 Edward (Eammon) Hart

Birth: ca 1824, Luggawannia, Clydagh, Co. Galway [27]

Religion: Roman Catholic

Occupation: Railroad Engineer for the P W & B Railroad [28]

Death: 2 Apr 1897, 562 N. 23rd St. Philadelphia, PA [29]

Burial: 6 Apr 1897, Cathedral Cemetery, Wilmington, DE [30]

Sailing aboard the Messenger from the Port of Galway, Edward Hart and his wife, Bridget Hannon who was with child, arrived at the Port of New York on 27 May 1848.[31] They had left Luggawannia at the height of the Great Famine having left their eldest daughter Mary with Edward’s mother. A decade later, John Hart wrote his brother Edward, “...I must say that your Mother would not allow your Daughter to go [to America] nor would Mary herself desire so. In fact she should be forced on board a ship before she could be compelled to go.”[32] Several years later, however, Mary [1.4.2a] did arrive in Wilmington and married Peter Earner on 24 January 1866. Perhaps she did so in time to be with her mother before she succumbed to tuberculosis in May of 1863.

Other spouse: Anna McGovern

Sometime after 1863 and before the 1880 US Census for Philadelphia, Edward Hart married the Irish-born widow Anna McGovern. The 1880 Census shows that Anna had at least two children: Cecelia aged twenty-six and Elizabeth, a dressmaker who was twenty-three. Two railroad engineers, William and George Kinney, were boarders in their home at 544 North 23^rd Street in north Philadelphia. According to the 1900 Census she was born in April 1835 and had been in the United States for fifty-one years. William Kinney still took up residence in her home along with Richard McGovern, who very probably was her brother. He, too, was born in Ireland in October 1842.[36]

1.4.2b.5 Julia Hart Lalley

By all accounts Michael and Annie Lalley’s daughter was a remarkable and much loved person. Although he seldom spoke of his parents, his brothers or his sisters, Joseph her youngest brother, remembered her fondly. During the Great Depression, she wrote two warm and kind letters to his wife, Spalding. In one she praised her for her good care of those “lovely and sturdy young boys” and mentioned that her nephew who she cared for was about to start high school. In another letter written a week before Christmas in 1932, she concluded, “This will be a meager Christmas for most everyone but, if we have our health and the will to fight, things are bound to come out right.” She also moved into the home of her brother Francis (Frank) to care of his three young sons after their mother died while giving birth to another boy.

At age twenty, she was employed as a telephone operator for the Insurnce Company of North America. In time she became the chief switchboard supervisor of the company’s telephone operations. Although she never married, she had many friends. Throughout her life, she maintained close ties with most of her relatives. In later years she traveled extensively with many friends of her youth.

Birth: after 1888, Philadelphia, PA.

Death: before 1900

Agnes is listed on the JML descendant chart. No other records have yet been found. Agnes was probably born between 1888 and 1894. She is not listed as living on 1900 US Census but that Census does show that two children in this family died before 1900. Mary was one of them. Since all of her other brothers and sisters are listed on that census, Agnes must be the second child who died before 1900.

He served in Troop G of the First Pennsylvania Cavalry and in Battery A of the 108th Field Artillery while stationed at Camp Hancock, Augusta, Georgia. Following his discharge, he became the Washington correspondent for the Philadelphia North American and later a reporter for the Philadelphia Ledger. Subsequently, he received an assignment with the Baltimore Sun where he met his wife M. Spalding Parker, a librarian for the Sun. Several years afterwards he became vice president of a New York advertising firm. After the financial crash in 1931, he and his family returned to Baltimore where he worked briefly as a reporter for the Baltimore News American.

At the invitation of Felix Morley, then editor of the Washington Post, Mr. Lalley became a member of that paper’s editorial staff. His unique Christmas editorials attracted considerable attention for many years. He was also editor of the Sunday book review page for the Post and wrote a weekly column called “Posting the Books”. During his career he contributed occasional articles to such magazines as the New Yorker and the neo-conservative monthly magazine Modern Age. After his retirement from the Post, he became an associate editor of Modern Age.

His large book collection was donated to the special collections section of the John Hopkins University Library, which is also the repository of his manuscripts, editorials, book reviews, and correspondence.

The Spalding family genealogy is recorded in the book, Thomas Jenkins of Maryland 1670, His Descendants and Allied Families, compiled by Rev. Edward Felix Jenkins, OSA. M. Spalding Parker Lalley completed considerable genealogy research for the Spalding family and her efforts were recognized by Father Jenkins. Spalding, as she called herself, was a long-time member of the Maryland Historical Society.

Thomas Jenkins emigrated from England to Charles County, Maryland in 1660 or 1670. It is unclear where and when he married his wife Ann Spalding. A seventh generation, direct descendant of Thomas and Ann Jenkins, Spalding Parker Lalley was the sixth and youngest child of Naomi Bernadine Spalding (9 March 1856-28 Jan 1877) and Edward Gregory Parker (3 October 1846 - 1 July 1880) of Rochester, New York.

Spouse: (Margaret) Spalding Parker (20 Aug 1894 - d. 12 Jan 1991)

Father: Edward Gregory Parker (1846-1905)

Mother: Naomi (Noma) Bernadine Spalding (1856-1902)

Religion: Roman Catholic

Death: 12 Jan 1891

Burial: 16 Jan 1991

Marriage: 1 Nov 1924, Catholic Church, Towsen, MD

Children: Joseph Michael, Jr. (1925-)

Anne Hart (1935-)

Until recently, very little was known about the Parker side of her family. In 2007, however, Aleda Bunch, great granddaughter of Samuel W. Parker, published the results of her extensive and pains-taking research, Parker Family History.

Born in Liverpool, England, Samuel W. Parker (b. 26 Sep 1810 – 22 Mar 1885) and his younger brother Joseph Parker (ca 1813 – 30 Dec 1871) belong to the first known generation of this Parker family. Samuel W. Parker married Maria Cluguet who bore him ten children: John T. (b. ca 1834- d. aft 1920), Joseph H. (b. Apr 1838), Jane (b. Jan 1840- d. aft 1900), Mary (b. ca 1842 16 Dec 1888), Edward Gregory (b.3 Oct 1843 - d. 1 Jul 1905), Margaret (b. ca 1846), Susanna (b. May 1847 - 26 Sep 1934), Julia (b. ca 1847 - d. aft 1870), Katie (b. ca 1845), and Samuel (b. Dec 1857 - d. aft 1900).

Samuel Parker was the head of an interesting theatrical family. His six daughters were actresses. His son Samuel was a musician before settling down as a clock maker. His brother Joseph was both an actor and a scene painter and the father of two well-known actresses, Josephine Parker Bishop and Julia Parker Polk as well as the father of Seymour Parker, an actor who later became a noted scene painter. [26]

One of the sons of Samuel W. Parker and Maria Cluguet, Edward Gregory Parker, married Naomi Bernadine Spalding (b. 9 Mar 1856 - d. 28 Jan 1902). Edward owned a Baltimore, Maryland insurance brokerage. The couple had six children one of whom was Margaret Spalding Parker. She was called by all who knew her "Spalding."

When Spalding was a young child, her mother – "Noma," as she preferred to be called rather than "Naomi" - died of cancer in 1902. Spalding believed that her father died of a broken heart, though his obituary lists the cause of death as acute rheumatism following a heart attack. Less than eleven years old when her father died, she spent much of her teenage years year-round at Mount Saint Agnes, a boarding school for girls in Baltimore.

Two older children (Edward Carroll, b. 26 Aug 1877 - d. 18 Sep 1877) and Beulah Marie (Beulah Marie Parker, b. 15 Aug 1878), died in infancy. Her brother, Herbert Jerome (b. 25 Jan 1880 - d. 25 Jul 1945), is said to have worked on the Panama Canal where he became ill with yellow fever. Later he married Elizabeth Neville, the nurse who had cared for him. They lived out their days in California. Spalding Parker Lalley also had two sisters who were also considerably older than she. Beulah Helena Parker (b.18 Dec.1881 - d.10 Jul 1982) married George F. Sloan. Marie Randall Parker (b. 8 Oct. 1882 - d. 15 Sep. 1964) married Frank Snowden Ehlen
