Shared note

Ellen's grandfather John, given his date of birth, was very probably a brother to Michael Rooney ("Daddy Mick"), making her and her husband Thomas second cousins.

Tim Ahles says: "The Ellen Rooney that married Thomas T Rooney (grandson of Daddy Mick), is from the Rooney branch that we often refer to as the "Avon Rooneys." Ellen's parents are William Rooney and Bridget Hartigan. I do not have any records of Ellen's grandparents, but they might be the John Rooney and Helen Hennigan that you mentioned. We have often suspected a connection between our Rooneys and those from Avon but have not yet proven it."

2017: We have now "proven it" through at least two DNA matches in Ancestry between persons on the Padua Rooney branch and one or two on the Avon Rooney Branch (Andrew Minzghor and perhaps one other).

Cause of Death: Childbirth.

Originally published August 1998, Padua Cemetery, by Ginny Walz Borgerding

Thomas T. Rooney was born Jan 5, 1859 in Canada, the son of John and Mary (McCool) Rooney. He was ninth child of twelve children.

Ellen (Ellie) Rooney was born October 26, 1872, the daughter of William and Bridget (Hartigan) Rooney, of Avon, MN.

Thomas married Ellie and they had the following children:
Agatha - married Henry Murphy and had three children
Bridget Stella - married Frank Cowen
Clarinda - married Andrew Murphy
William Ryan - adopted son, married Mary Raden
William Joseph - died as an infant
Ellen - died as an infant

Ellie died on June 22, 1902 from blood poisoning (bacterial infection), according to church records.

In 1903 Thomas T. married Anna Murphy, the daughter of Bernard and Honora Murphy.

Thomas T. died on November 28, 1925 from heart disease? as best deciphered from church records.

Ellie, Wm Jos, and Ellen are listed on the tombstone with Thomas R. listed on the grave marker beside them.

Thomas T.'s second wife Anna Murphy Rooney, parents, brothers Michael J., James, William, and sisters Catherine Martin, MaryAnn Egan, Elizabeth Egan, grandmother Catharine Rooney, and many other relatives are buried in Padua
