Robert Brady

b. 1820

An Irish-born 19th-century figure remembered through family and burial records, he appears to have built his life in Maine after marrying Cordelia Haskell. The surviving details are modest, but they sketch a clear path from Ireland to Penobscot County, where he died in 1894.

About the author

Robert Brady was born on March 17, 1820, in Ireland, according to burial and family-tree records that also place his death on November 12, 1894, in Enfield, Penobscot County, Maine. He is buried in Enfield Village Cemetery.

The records available online suggest that he married Cordelia Haskell in Houlton, Maine, in 1844 and later lived in Maine with a growing family. Several census references are attached to his profile, which points to a settled life in the state over a number of decades.

Little more has been reliably confirmed from the sources I found, so his story survives mainly in the traces left by marriage, census, and cemetery records rather than in a detailed published biography.
