Moses Keady born circa 1798 in Castlebar county Mayo (and Canada 1874) is the eldest son of William Keady and Ann McGee. He was known as a cabinetmaker. It is suggested that Moses of Donaughmore may have been William Keady's father and that he died prior to 1827 and William inherited the Donaughmore land. I would like to confirm this.

When Moses Kedey was born in 1798 in Castlebar, Mayo, Ireland, his father, William, was 22 and his mother, Ann, was 22. He married Jane Norray on June 9, 1831, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He then married Rebecca Minerva Landon and they had five children together. He died on March 5, 1874, in Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario, having lived a long life of 76 years, and was buried in Fitzroy, Ontario. Cause of Death: Acute Bronchitis

  • The records from substantiated family genealogy research points to William Kedey and Ann McGee being Moses parents. I attach ancestry documentation on this. William died of cholera and is buried in Quebec. I am looking for a button on this site to provide attachments on this form, but what I have listed is:
