Notes:
-Daughter Catherine lists her birth as Darby, PA. in her marriage record.
-1840: Living in Upper Darby, PA
-On October 21, 1883, married secondly to Lewis C. Galigna in Philadelphia. The funeral home that handled the burial was located in Montgomery County, PA and they transported her to Fernwood Cemetery. Lewis Galigna was from Wilmington, Delaware, where he died in 1905 according to his death certificate. Lewis and Catherine appear on the 1900 Wilmington, DE census, but Catherine says she was born May 1825, cheating a few years off her age. There is no reason however to doubt her birthday was in May.
