• Notes

  Kate Mooney was born in Monaghan County, Ireland, the daughter of Rebecca Gillis Mooney and Daniel Mooney . Her mother had eloped with Daniel and they had a son, John and shortly thereafter, Daniel was accidently killed. Rebecca returned to her parent's home and soon after Kate was born. Rebecca raised the two children in their grandparent's home. In 1835, Kate's brother John emigrated to Canada. After spending a year with his uncle William (Rebecca's brother) and some time in Vermont, John returned to Inverness in 1847. John was a progressive young man. He started buying cattle and shipping them to Quebec. As business expanded, he bought in the U.S. and while there, sent for his sister Kate and their mother to come to Canada from Ireland. When Kate first arrived, she worked in the mills in Vermont. Later, she married John George of Inverness. After their marriage, her mother came to live with them. Kate is buried in Boutelles Cemetery in Inverness next to her husband. Acc. to notes by Mrs. Grace Cox's mother, of Inverness, Catherine's brother John sent for her and their mother Rebecca Mooney to come to join him in Inverness. [3]
