Nicholas was born March 18, 1903 in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland. He was the son of Peter Aloysius Sinnott and his wife, Catherine Malarkey, who were both United States citizens of recent Irish descent.

The 1911 Irish Census lists Nicholas living with his parents and sister, Eleanor, at 29 Sandwith St, in Dublin. The census says that all four lived in one room.

Nicholas died on May 4, 1925 at the age of 22 and is buried with his family in Dean's Grange Cemetery in Dublin, #25-F3-North. The cemetery records say that he died at 38 Denzile St. On 11 Mar 2014, I checked Google Earth, but could not find a Denzile St. I did, however, find a Denzille Lane.

Family lore says that he was imprisoned during the Easter Rising in 1916 and died either in prison or after being released. This doesn't sound correct, as Nicholas would have only been 13 at the time. However, these is an outside chance that he could have taken a small part in the rebellion, but I don't know how to find that out.

Nicholas's Find A Grave memorial number is 36159144

Obituary:

HELEN BEATRICE MALARKEY

Longtime Staten Islander Helen B. Malarkey, 84, of Great Kills, a World War II Navy nurse who worked alongside her husband in his Great Kills practice, died Friday at home.

Born Helen B. Norkelunas in Montreal, Canada, she moved to Rochester, N.Y., with her family when she was 2 years old.

She earned a nursing degree from the University of Rochester, where she met her husband, Edward Malarkey, then a medical student.

When World War II began, Mrs. Malarkey was determined to join the fight, but was initially rejected from the U.S. military for having been born outside the country. Refusing to be denied, she made a personal appeal to the Secretary of the Navy, who acquiesced and gave her special dispensation. According to her family, Mrs. Malarkey became a Navy flight nurse, serving in the Pacific from 1943 until the war ended in 1945.

Upon her return home, she married Dr. Malarkey.

The couple moved to Westerleigh in 1946 and briefly lived in Prince's Bay before settling in Great Kills in 1955. There, Dr. Malarkey launched a thriving medical practice, with his wife working as a nurse by his side.

After 32 years of marriage, Dr. Malarkey died in 1977.

For the next 11 years, Mrs. Malarkey worked at what now is Eger Health Care and Rehabilitation Center, Egbertville. She retired in 1988.

Mrs. Malarkey was a parishioner of St. Clare's R.C. Church, Great Kills.

"She was really a remarkably thoughtful and generous friend," said her daughter, Margo Malarkey. "Her friends were just really touched by knowing her. She was also a fabulous mother, of course."

Mrs. Marlarkey was a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Richmond County Medical Society.

In addition to her daughter, Margo, surviving are two more daughters, Barbara Malarkey and Elizabeth Josephson; her two sons, Peter E. and Robert J., and a grandson.

The funeral will be tomorrow from the Casey-McCallum-Rice South Shore Funeral Home, Great Kills, with a mass at 11 a.m. in St. Clare's Church. Burial will follow in Moravian Cemetery, New Dorp.

On September 26, 1877, Gustave Franklin Obenland was born. He was the son of German immigrants Ernst Gottlieb Obenland and his wife, Mary Agnes Burkhart. Gustave, or Gus, as he was called, was born in Glen Ellen, Sonoma County, California.

Sonoma County is sometimes called the Valley of the Moon, or Valley of the Moons. The Miwok tribe named the area "Valley of the Moon" or "Many Moons" because their legends had it that the moon seemed to rise from the valley or may have rose multiple times in just one night.

Gus had five siblings: Christian G.E, Elizabeth Louise, Adolph Emil, Bertha Rose and Anna Agnes. Their father was a farmer while Mary kept house for the family.

In the fall of 1881, Ernst moved his family to Pomeroy, Garfield Co., Washington Territory. The 1898 Census of Garfield County, Washington lists 20 year old Gustave as working as a laborer. Later, he worked as a clerk in a grocery store.

In 1902, Gus went to Philadelphia where he learned the jeweler trade. During his time there, he completed a large pewter engraving that showcased his engraving skills. This engraving is kind of like a sampler that young girls embroidered during the 1700's and 1800's.

While in Philadelphia, Gus met a young seamstress named Anna Veronica Malarkey. He and Anna were married on August 30, 1904 in Anna's hometown of Girardville, Pennsylvania. They had one child, a son they named Harold Edwin, born on July 3, 1905 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Gus and Anna moved around quite a bit during their marriage. Records show them living in Birmingham, Alabama; Shreveport, Louisiana; Ft. Worth, Texas; Everett, Washington; Goldfield, Nevada and Richmond, California.
At one time, Gus owned a jewlery store in Richmond, at 917 McDonald Ave.

On September 12, 1918, Gus registered for the draft of WWI. His registration says that he was of medium height and build, with blue eyes and red hair.

Gus was an avid fisherman, a sport that seemes to run in the family. His brother Adolph and son Harold were all fishermen. Even his great-grandson Keith, born in 1976, also loves to fish. Gus was even arrested in 1924 in Oakland for having taken too many crabs from the ocean. (see attached article). In the 1920's, Gus was an active member of the Richmond Lodge #13, Knights of Pythias. An article in the Oakland Tribune from September 25, 1921, states that he had been elected Prelate of the lodge. I assume this must mean president.

The actual date of Gustave's divorce from Anna is unknown, but it had to have been between 1920 and 1930. They are listed together in at 413 10th Street in Richmond, California during the 1920 Census. The 1930 census shows Gus, as single and living at 925 Roble Ave. in Menlo Park, a city just southwest of Richmond in San Mateo County, California. In that census, Gus owned the house which had a value of $5,000 at that time. Living with Gus was a Hilda Moore, who was his housekeeper. Whether she actually was his housekeeper at that time is unknown. She might have just been living with him as his "paramour".

They eventually did live as man and wife, and Hilda told people that they were married. Letters and depositions in Gus's granddaughter's possession state that prior to his death, Gus had told his brother Adolph that he and Hilda were NOT married, even though she claimed they were. After Gus's death, Hilda claimed she and Gus were married in a town outside of Tiajuana, Mexico. When pressed, she couldn't remember the name of the town, nor could she produce a wedding certificate or any witnesses to the marriage.

In 1943, Gus moved back to Pomeroy, where he had grown up. Hilda went with him. Gus purchased a large Victorian house at 184 8th Street. The purchase price was $2,000. The deed was made September 1, 1943 and recorded in Garfield County on September 16, 1943. (Volume 42, page 303) Two months later, Gus transfered the house to Hilda, with the deed signed on November 3, 1943. The recording date of this deed is unknown at this time.

On March 14, 1944, Gus passed away. He and Hilda had made the trip to Lewiston, Idaho for some errands. While waiting in his car for Hilda to finish her shopping, Gus died. The cause of death on the death certificate says, "patient dead when I arrived. Evidentally due to coronary thrombosis." Gus's residence listed on his death certificate was 681 4th Street in Pomeroy. He was not living in the house on 8th Street when he died. Gus died without a will. At least, that is what Hilda said!

Only ten days after Gus's death, on March 24, 1944, Hilda signed a deed transferring the house on 8th Street to Gus's cousin Ray Shuck and his wife, Zelda. They purchased the house for only $10. This deed was not recorded until July 25, 1944.

In the terms of Anna's divorce from Gus, she was awarded monthly alimony. Gus's son, Harold, fought for part of his father's estate, as his mother, Anna, was owed about $9,000 in back alimony, which was a lot of money in those days.

An affidavit from a George Bromage stated that his ex-wife Ada Bromage was an old friend of Hilda's. Hilda had enlisted the help of Ada Bromage and Zelda Schuck in Pomeroy to help Hilda remove from Pomeroy the cash and jewelry of Gus's estate. Together, the three women smuggled about $35,000 in cash and jewelry from Pomeroy to Mr. Bromage's house in California, just after Gustave's death. Some of the money went to White Bird, Idaho.

In the end, the court awarded Hilda the estate. There was nothing left to be awarded to Anna, as the court valued the estate at under $3,000. This, of course, did not include the cash and jewelry smuggled out of Washington by Hilda and her accomplices, which comprised the bulk of Gustave's estate.

Gus was buried in the Pomeroy City Cemetery. Hilda left Pomeroy shortly after the estate was settled and moved to San Francisco, California. She died two years later. One wonders if she sold the gold and jewelry smuggled out of Washington and what she did with all of the money? Did she die without spending it all? If so, what happened to it?

Peter was born in St John's County, New Brunswick, Canada, the son of Nicholas Sinnott and his wife, Catherine Fitzpatrick. At a date as yet unknown, Peter married Mary Catherine Breen. She was also a native of St. John's County, New Brunswick.

On April 29, 1849, the couple arrived in New York. Their first two children, Elizabeth (about 1852) and Mary Catherine (about 1853) were born.

Peter Jr was born in 1854 and William James was born in 1855. Both of the boys were born in Boston, Massachusetts.

Sometime after that, the family moved to Providence, Rhode Island. Madaline, Eleanor, Florina, Louise, Nicholas Vincent and Nellie were all born there. Nicholas, Florina and Louise passed away when they were babies.

Peter was a shopkeeper in Providence, selling wholesale liquor. He was also a member of an organization called Adopted Citizens of Rhode Island. For a time he served as its secretary.

On November 19, 1863, Peter became a Naturalized Citizen. This took place in the US Circuit Court in Providence, Rhode Island.

Sometime prior to April, 1873, Peter traveled to his family home in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland. It's unclear if this was a visit or on family business. Unfortunately, he contracted bronchitis while there.

On May 12, 1873, the Providence Evening Press ran Peter's death notice. It says he passed away in Enniscorthy on April 26th. As of this writing, its unclear if he was buried in Ireland or if his body was returned to the United States and he was buried in Providence.

Peter was the son of Peter A. Sinnott and his wife, Mary Catharine Breen. He was born on July 2, 1854. Both of Peter's parents were born in St. John's County, New Brunswick, Canada.

On Nov. 2, 1900, Peter and Catherine Ada Malarkey were married. The ceremony was held at the Church of the Transfiguration in New York City.

Sometime prior to his marriage, Peter inherited the "Abbey of Enniscorthy," in County Wexford, so he and Catherine moved to Ireland. I found Peter's "Certificate of Registration of American Citizen" that he had to complete while in Ireland. It gives his date and place of birth. It also listed his wife and his two children who were living at the time.

The paperwork stated Peter and his wife left the United States for Ireland on November 3, 1900. Note that this was one day after their marriage. They traveled to Enniscorthy, County Wexford, where they stayed until June, 1904. They arrived in Dublin on July 1 of that year. The Consular Certificate said they were in Dublin to settle an estate in the Chancery Court. This must have been the estate of the relative who had willed the Abbey to Peter.

While in Enniscorthy, they at least three children. Catherine Elenore was born in 1901. This corresponds with Catherine's sister, Anna's, notes that their first child, born in County Wexford, was a daughter whom they named Catherine. Anna's notes also state that the little girl died there as well. Catherine's nephew, Howard Zellers, wrote in 1977 of "...a son Peter who died while they lived at the Abbey and was buried on the Abbey Estate. At the time of his death he was about two years of age."
So far I haven't found a record of this child.

On February 5, 2017, I emailed St. Aidan's Cathedral in Enniscorthy, asking for information on the births of the children born there to Peter A Sinnott and Catherine Malarkey. I received a response from a gentleman named Hugo Kelly. He had researched the baptismal records and found only two children: Catherine Eleanor, born on September 27, 1901 and Nicholas John, born November 18, 1903. Both were baptized in St. Aiden's. There was no mention of a child named Peter, nor was there a death recorded for Catherine Eleanor. Since the family moved to Dublin in 1904, she might have died there. However, Anna Malarkey Obenland, her aunt, wrote that she died in Wexford.

In a letter to me dated May 29, 1977, Catherine's cousin, Mary Malarkey Starner, wrote of the family lore, "He (Peter) being the eldest son inherited a poverty stricken estate which by law or otherwise always passed from the oldest son to the oldest son. After they married they went to Ireland to live and 3 children were born to them. Nicholas Sennate (sic. should be Peter Sinnott) was not a Catholic as the previous heir had been and who had an alter (sic) in the "Abbey" which Nicholas (sic) and Catherine had removed, consequently the tale was that the 2 oldest of their children were poisoned by "fairies" as a punishment for having the alter (sic) removed. The other child, a son, died in the Irish Rebellion in the early 1920's."

On March 18, 1903, Peter and Catherine's son Nicholas was born in Enniscorthy. Daughter Eleanor was born in Dublin on December 19, 1909. Unfortunately, Eleanor died when she was ten years old. Nicholas passed away at the age of twenty-two.

The 1901 Irish Census lists Peter and Catherine at 46.2 Templeshannon St, in Enniscorthy. This was a hotel, categorized as "1st class." The couple occupied one room.

While looking through FamilySearch.org, I came across a record for Peter. It is from the collection, "Ireland, Prison Registers, 1790-1924." It says that in 1904, Peter was arrested in Wexford, County Wexford, for contempt of court. The records state that the prison where he was housed was in Wexford. Whether this was really a prison, as we think of them today, or just a town jail is unknown. Nor do we know how long he was in there. His residence at the time was Enniscorthy.

Catherine's nephew also relates, "After having lived at the Abbey some time the Irish Government confiscated their estate under the Irish Land Reform Act. They were to be compensated for their land in the amount of about forty thousand pounds. Actually they received very little except for a small pension. After her husband's death, Katherine continued to receive the pension until her death. Katherine under dower rights only had a life estate following Peter's death."

The "Irish Reform Act" mentioned above was probably the Land Purchase Act in 1909. According to Wikipedia, the Act "extended the 1903 Act by allowing for the compulsory purchase of tenanted farmland by the Land Commission, but fell far short in its financial provisions." This sounds to me like the government ran out of money. Thus, as Howard said, Peter and Catherine never received all of their proceeds. Also note the word, "compulsory". Howard used the word "confiscated" but they mean the same thing. The Sinnotts were forced to give up their land.

The Ireland Census of 1911 shows Peter and Catherine living with Nicholas and Eleanor at 29.3 Sandwith St., St Mark's Parish, Trinity Ward, Dublin, Ireland. The four members of the family were all living in one room. It states that they had had three children, with two alive at that time. This means was the child Peter is just family lore.

That census says that Peter was a "landed proprietor" and a landlord. The family was Roman Catholic.

Peter passed away in Dublin on December 11, 1930. His residence at the time was 62 Denzile St. On 11 March 2014, I checked Google Earth. At that time, there was no Denzile St. There was, however, a Denzille Lane.

He was buried in Dean's Grange Cemetery (aka Deansgrange). I wrote to the cemetery in the 1970's and received the plots of Peter and his family. On his burial record, Peter's last name is spelled "Synnott." According to a Find A Grave Volunteer, none of the family have gravestones. His plot is 25-F3-North.

As a side note, a lady named Ellen Breen is buried in the same grave as the Sinnotts. Peter's mother's maiden name was Catherine Breen. It's hard to imagine this is a coincidence. Ellen was the widow of a Patrick Breen. She passed away in 1901 at the age of 70 years old, which would make her birth date in about 1831. I wonder if Patrick was Peter's Uncle? If so, this might be a clue as to where Catherine Breen's family was from. (County Wexford, possibly Enniscorthy.) A Margaret Tobin is buried there as well. Could she be another relative? More research is needed in that regard.

Peter's Find a Grave memorial number is 36158925.

Vance was the son of Robert January Huston and his wife, Kate Francis. He was actually born in Chehalis County, Washington but that's now Grays Harbor County.

For years I have looking for documents pertaining to my grandfather's brother, Robert Huston, but couldn't find anything past the 1880 Census. Then today I found that someone on Ancestry had copied my mother's information. I checked that tree, and found the missing Robert, my mother's uncle.

From there I found that he was married and had two sons, Vance and James. I found information on both of them, including a memorial here on Find A Grave for James. There was none for Vance.

From what I could find, Robert and his wife separated and Robert took both boys and went to Japan. The first record of them that I found was a Certificate of Registration of American Citizen, completed on Aug 31, 1907 in Nagasaki, Japan. Robert and his sons were then living in Shimonoseki, Japan. The same documents were found for 1909 and 1911. Others may exist as well.

In 1911, Vance returned to the United States. I haven't found any records for him from 1911 until 1920. In the 1920 Census, Vance is listed as living at the California State Hospital, aka Patton Mental Hospital, in San Bernardino County, California. It was there that he died on October 21, 1932.

Vance's death certificate, which I received in April, 2014, offered some new information. Prior to entering the hospital, he lived in Los Angeles County and worked as a waiter. Vance was admitted to Patton Mental Hospital on October 4, 1918.

His cause of death is listed as chronic myocarditis, with a 16 year history of dementia praecox. According to Wikipedia, "Dementia praecox (a 'premature dementia' or 'precocious madness') refers to a chronic, deteriorating psychotic disorder characterized by rapid cognitive disintegration, usually beginning in the late teens or early adulthood." Today we know this as schizophrenia.

Vance was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. His brother James was laid to rest next to him in 1960.

When researching my family in 1979, I accidentally found that a Donald Obenland was born to my father, Harold Edwin Obenland and a "Mary Jane" Flaugher. (See my memorial to Donald linked to this memorial below).

I looked and looked and never found Donald until after he died in 2003. I had also been looking for his mother, but also to no avail. There were Flaughers listed as living in the bay area of California, but I couldn't pin-point Mary Jane's family. Then last year, I found two newspaper articles mentioning a Marion Flaugher, who was the correct age for Mary Jane, who had lived in Richmond, California and had had a son named Donald. So, Mary Jane Flaugher was really Marion Flaugher!

From there, I found that her parents were Julius Lord Flaugher and his wife, Nellie George. In fact, in the 1940 Census, I located Julius and Nellie in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. Living with them was their grandson, Donald "Abenland."

From there I found that a Marion Hubbart had died in 1981 in San Diego, California. The California Death Index listed her father's last name as Flaugher and her mother's maiden name as George.

I haven't found another definite record for Marion between the newspaper article in 1927 and her death record in 1981. I did, however, find a record of a marriage between a Marion Flaugher and a Fred B. Campbell on Feb. 28, 1934 in Seattle, Washington. The age is correct, but there is no way of knowing if this is the correct person.

UPDATE #1: I received an email in August, 2013 regarding Marion. A distant relative gave me the information that her father was not Julius Flaugher, even though that last name was used in all of the newspaper articles and on Donald's birth certificate. Whether Julius Flaugher adopted Marion is unknown at this time. Julius's memorial is number 28545591.

Marion's real father was Stacy Honor Pigott. He and Nellie, Marion's mother, were married in Kane County, Illinois on June 21, 1899. At first I was skeptical, but then I remembered that one of Donald's roommates told me that Donald talked about a sister with the last name of Pigott, who lived in the bay area of California. I want to thank Cheryl Rene for the information and for the two other newspaper articles on Marion and her abandonment of Donald. Look at that, I now have a picture of Donald as a baby and one of his young mother.

I'm at a loss as to whether to change this memorial to Marion Piggott Hubbart. Since it seems as though she used the last name of Flaugher, I think I'll keep it the way it is and just add another memorial with her birth name and cross reference it to this.

More research is needed. I'm interested in finding out if this sister had any children who might still be around.

If anyone out there knows anything about Donald or his mother or family, please contact me!
