This was in response to yesterday's post of the bio of Patrick Malary!
Interesting, huh?

Thank you so much for Patrick's bio, Cathy. The name in Ireland was
: listed as Mullera.
: The official list of evictees from Ballykilcline (dated 1847) includes
: this family:
: John Mullera (age 35), his wife Sarah (30) and children Francis (6),
: James (4), John (8), Patrick (12), Thomas (10), and brother Pat (25).
: It appears that your subject is the brother Pat.
: There also was a couple -- Pat Mullera (30) and Catherine Mullera (30).
: Presume they were husband and wife.
: Since your subject's wife's name was Mary Welch, he is more likely the
: Pat who was 25 years old at the time of the evictions.
: Are there signs of any other Mulleras in Clayton County -- siblings or
: descendants?
: FYI, some of this extended Mullera family spent years in Rutland, Vermont.
: Mary Lee Dunn

The Ballykilcline Society is trying to find as many
descendants of the people there as possible. Our web site is at
www.ballykilcline.com. The story of the Ballykilcline rent strike and evictions
is told in Robert
Scally's book, The End of Hidden Ireland. It also was part of a Discovery
Channel program that premiered in September about the Irish Famine.
The Society puts out a newsletter twice a year, has compiled a CD of
Strokestown-area records at cost for members, and holds an annual Reunion (twice
so far in and around Strokestown). We have an active research committee as
well. The organization is open to anyone who is interested in fostering the
family
and local history of that part of Roscommon. Members come from the U.S.,
Canada, Ireland, and England. Membership is $15 a year.
