Robert Brady

b. 1820

An Irish-born 19th-century settler in Maine, he left records that trace a life of marriage, family, and work in New England. Though little personal detail survives, the documents sketch a clear path from his birth in 1820 to his death in 1894.

About the author

Born in 1820 in Ireland, Robert Brady later made his life in Maine. Genealogical records identify him as the son of James Brady and Jane Ward, and show that he married Cordelia Haskell in Houlton, Maine, in 1844.

Records linked through census, marriage, and cemetery sources place him in Maine across much of the 19th century. He and Cordelia had children, and he died on November 12, 1894, in Enfield, Penobscot County, Maine.

Very little biographical writing about him appears to survive, so what we know comes mainly from family-history and vital-record sources rather than from published personal accounts. Even so, those records preserve the outline of a life that connected Ireland and early Maine through family, migration, and settlement.
