age:40 sugar worker born: Ireland wife: Ellen, age 33, born in Ireland Children: Mary, age10; John, age 8; Thomas A, age 3
RECHECK occcupation and residence facts that are not recorded on fed census
John may have died about 1870, his wife and children were ennumerated with John Sr on the 1870 census and he ceased to be listed in the Ptld City Dir.
John Sr is my designated head of the family, as are the relationships of "uncle Kilday and John E. I know that they are related but the "links are frayed".
Index to New England Naturalization Petitions 1798 - 1906 Roll #81

(NOTE: I am assuming that the birth date is in error ,1805 rather than 1815. Calvary rec assumes birth date abt. 1809; age 65 on
1870 Fed Census. I may have attributed the Naturalization to the wrong John, see entry below)

Note for Caroline:
The Kilday's came from County Donegal, Ireland. Naturalization papers say that they came through the port of NY in 1841. It is clear through record research and oral anecdotal history that they spent their first few years in Louisiana perhaps that is where Dennis met and married Maria. In any event, that is where John E. was born. Shortly after his birth they traveled to New York where William was born. They made their way to Maine where they settled. The early Kilday's worked as laborers at local sugar manufacturers, and did so with distinction. John became a foreman and was a protector of the poor Irish immigrant employees. Through discrimination, business upheavals, and disease (cholera, dysentery and typhoid) they struggled for survival; sometimes living together as a large extended family. (Read through the family tree and see how persistent they were in carrying on the family heritage through the naming of their children.)
The year that John Coleman was born his Dad was a sugar boiler at the Portland Sugar Company and lived on Danforth Street in Portland. (In 1868, John E and Mary Jane were married at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland. One of the witnesses at their wedding was Edward Coleman.) It seems that John Coleman was the first on this family to get out of the rough labor industry and into the "cleaner" side of business. He began working as a clerk for the telegraph company which later became NET&T. His brothers followed his lead. He moved back and forth from Portland to Massachusetts as he climbed the corporate ladder eventually becoming a District Superintendent.
Research on the Kilday's began with an anecdotal oral history told by Peggy Kilday Sullivan, as told to her by her father, Judge Francis Sullivan. The information that we have gathered has come from State Archives, cemeteries, newspapers and libraries, etc. There is still much to learn: John Sr died in Iowa! what was he doing there; a Lewis Kilday was said to be a soldier in the Confederate Army; what of the two Uncles who came here from Ireland and have not been heard from again; who is Jane Kilday, buried with the family in Calvary; and of course can we find the ship that transported the family to America. 1841 was a difficult time in Ireland and many people left or died, but there is still the chance that we have family still living in Donegal..... That may call for another trip to Ireland. And what of the O'Malley's, that search hasn't even begun!
