BRADY, Philip Looking for any information on Phililp BRADY and Mary Ann BRADY (YOUNG) from Killashandra, County Cavan. They arrived in this country in 1880 and apparently moved to Providence, RI shortly thereafter. They had 2 daughters: Alice V., born in 1892 and Mary J., born 1889.

I am a descendant of Rufus MACHINTINE (MCINTIRE) of Providence who married Phebe MITCHEL. Their children were: Ananias, Duty, Diana, Freelove and Experience. I found information on Rufus in the 1790 RI Census. He moved to Pittsfield, NY where he died in 1820.
