ANTHONY GARVEY (1819-1911) (Son
of Peter Garvey ?)
MARGARET GERAGHTY (1927-1920) (Dau. of Martin Geraghty
& Bridget McColl)
Anthony and Margaret were natives of the town of Headford, County Galway
Ireland. Anthony is thought to have come to this country with a brother named
Peter. They arrived in New York in 1846. Anthony and his wife were apparently
married in St. Catherine Ontario in 1855 . She was born in County Mayo Ireland
and is thought to have arrived in the U. S. in 1853. The wedding date does
not appear to fit with the birth dates of their children. It is also unclear
when they came to the United States. Their eldest daughter appears to have
been born in St. Catherine Canada. Anthony and his family were in Minnesota
by 1856 at which time Anthony filed naturalization papers. Some time later
the family settled on a farm located in Section 4 and section 11 of Credit
River Twp. in Scott County MN. Margaret appears to be related to a Larkin
family that also settled in the Credit River area. Patrick Garvey, the spouse
of Bridget Hyland, is thought to be related but is not likely to have been
a child of Anthony and Margaret.

Patrick is listed because his death record in Dakota Co. lists his parents
as Anthony Garvey and is from the same general location in Ireland. Patrick
was already living in Empire Twp. in Dakota Co. by the time Anthony appeared
in Credit River. He may be from another Garvey family in the area. Both Anthony
and Margaret are buried in Credit River.
PATRICK GARVEY (1841-1874) (Son
of Anthony Garvey & ??? )
BRIDGET HYLAND (1847-1917) Dau.of
Edward Hyland & Margaret Hennley
Patrick was born in Hergroud (Headford ??) Ireland and settled in Empire
Twp. in Dakota County MN about 1855. It is thought that Patrick was related
to Anthony Garvey who settled in Credit River. He is however too old to have
been a son of Anthony Garvey & Margaret Geraghty. He may however by a
son by an earlier marriage? Patrick's wife Bridget was born in Ireland on
April 8, 1945. She and Patrick were married in 1865 and took up farming in
Empire Twp.
