Notes:
-Birthdate varies on various censii and documents. June 1861 is given in 1900 census. Death Certificate lists "April 8, 1846", which is
impossibly wrong based on the births of her children. The oldest record
that is definitively our Mary McCloskey is her marriage record which lists
her marriage to Charles Callahan, son of Michael of Ireland, and Mary
PetitdeManage of France to her, daughter of Michael of Ireland, and Ann
Devine of Ireland. This record lists her as 27 years old (born 1855).
This 1855 date also lines up exactly with the 1880 census record of the
Mary McCloskey who, in 1880 is listed on the same census page as the
Callahans. She is listed as born 1855 in that census with mother Ann,
and siblings Margaret (witness to her marriage), and James E. McCloskey,
whose baptism record shows he was also the son of Michael McCloskey and
Ann Devine.
-Two sons born in New Jersey in Early 1886 and Late 1887, but back in PA by 1890.
-Her home address in 1890 was 3927 Brown Street. (although 1900 census gives 3924 Brown)
-Buried on September 19, 1942.
