Message Board Post:
I'm looking for Margaret and Patrick Moffett who lived in Rhode Island, perhaps
Providence, around 1860-1866. Family legend has it that Margaret drowned in a canal when
delivering lunch to her husband who was a laborer helping to build the canal. Not sure
what canal. It may have been in the spring of 1867. She had two children, MaryAnn and
James F. prior to 1863. Both Patrick Moffett and his wife Margaret(don't know maiden
name) were originally from Ireland. After Margaret died/drowned, Patrick moved with his
two children to Auburn in upstate New York.
