Note: ng for a McEnulty spelling. About 1900 desendants of John F and Charles McEnulty started using the Mac spelling and that is in use today. Today there are probably some desendants using the McNulty spelling that have not been connected to this family yet.
Joseph was a cabinet maker by trade. He also served 18 years in the English Navy.
The 1850 federal census data from Blair County PA indicates he was born in PA and his listed age makes me wonder about the Navy data. This is an open item.
The family surname is given as McEnully in the 1850 census.
Joseph is listed in the 1840 PA,Huntingdon County,Hollidaysburg Township census as Joseph McAnulty.
There was a Joseph McAnulty and his brother John McAnulty who gave a deposition in 1825 to the Port of Philadelphia for the purpose of establishing Joseph's citizenship as a US national.The reason for establishing US citizenship was to obtain a Seaman Protection Certificate.
The deposition stated that Joseph was born in Ireland and arrived in the US in 1810 with his father Thomas McAnulty. His father became a naturlized US citizen while Joseph was a minor and therefore the argument went, Joseph was also a citizen by default. Joseph stated the family lived in Lancaster PA and he (Joseph) had completed an aprenticeship. I don't know for sure that this is our Joseph McEnulty but I am looking into it.
I have had Lancaster County PA searched for Thomas,John & Joseph McEnulty and surname varients. Thomas McEnulty owned no real estate, and no naturalization record could be found in Lancaster County. He (Thomas) does first show up on the Lancaster Tax rolls in 1819 as Thomas McEnulty, laborer. After looking at the 1819 date on the tax rolls I think the family probably stayed in Philadelphia for at least 5 years until the naturalization process was completed for Thomas. I believe the next step would be to check "The WPA Index to Records of Aliens' Declaration of Intention and /or Oaths of Allegiance, 1789-1880 in US Circuit Court, US District Court, Supreme Court of PA, Quarter Sessions Court, Court of Common Pleas,Philadelphia".
Thomas MacAnutty shows up in the 1820 Lancaster Boro census. Besides Thomas (>45) there was a female (<10), a female(26-45) and one female(>45) but no Joseph or John.
In "Marriages and Deaths from Lancaster County Newspapers",Thomas M'Anulty died on 29 August 1822. Since there were no McAnultys on the tax rolls this must be Thomas McEnulty. Thomas McEnulty is listed as deceased with heirs starting in 1825 through 1829. In 1830 the property is listed as owned by Wm Cooper. After 1830 all records of McEnulty stopped.This probably indicates that Thomas's wife died about 1830.
No records for Joseph were found.The introduction to The Philadelphia Index to Seaman Protection Applications states that many times this index is the only record that exists for a seaman so it is not suprising that nothing turned up on Joseph in Lancaster.
John McEnulty of Lancaster is listed in 1824-1829 as a single freeman (unmarried) cabinetmaker.
John M'Anulty is listed in the "Marriage & Deaths" as married to Miss Eliz Warwick of Moyamensing Twp Phila on 24 Nov 1827.
I am pretty sure that the seaman Joseph McAnulty and Joseph McEnulty are one and the same person based on our previous knowledge that he was an 18 year veteran seaman, the deposition data for a Seaman Protection ticket, Joseph and John were both cabinetmakers and the father, Thomas, was listed as McEnulty on the Lancaster tax rolls.
In the 1830 Moyamensing,Phila Census I see a John MacNully who could be John McEnulty and in the Lower Delaware Ward there is an Eliz Warwick. This Eliz is probably the widow of Matthew Warwick. There were several male and female persons of the age of John and Eliz living there, so John and Eliz could be part of that household in 1830.
