Note: From http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pasulliv/SullivanCountyHistoricalSociety/Barclay.htm Redmond Roche, (pronounced Roke) was born in Ireland, the son of Redmond and Margaret Hickey Roche. He and his wife, Bridget Howard, left Ireland and settled first in Spring Water Valley in New York State. Redmond and his wife came to Barclay and settled at Foot of Plain in the early 1860s with their first two children, Patrick who became a Roman Catholic Priest and Margaret. The rest of their 11children, Anna, Maria, Bridget, Redmond, Kate, Michael, Winifred, Ellen and Bessie were born at Barclay. Patrick and Bridget Roche moved to Tioga County probably when the mines failed at Barclay. Bridget died there in 1898. Patrick died in Scranton in 1915. Redmond Roche is listed as a stone mason on his death certificate. Margaret and Anna were the only two of the children to stay in the area. Anna married Hugh Hogan at St. Patrick's Church, Barclay on January 1, 1877 they had 12 children. Descendants of this family are in the Athens, Sayre area of Bradford County. Margaret Roche married William Ronan January 1, 1878 at SS. Peter and Paul's Church, Towanda. William was a native of Ireland; he came to Bradford County in 1867 when 17 years of age. ********************************************************************************************** ROCHE SURNAME HISTORY (CO. WEXFORD) by Hilary Murphy The first of the Roches who came to Wexford with the Anglo-Normans was of definite Flemish origin, namely Richard FitzGodebert, who is described as son of Godebert Flandrensis (i.e. from Flanders). This Richard' brother, Robert, was granted a large part of the district of the barony of Shelmalier East, immediately north of Wexford town, which became known as Rochesland. They set up headquarters in a castle at Artramont, still standing on the banks of the Slaney. The Roches also built the towers that still stand at picturesque Ferrycarrig and at Barntown. Sir Alexander de la Roche of Artramont founded the abbey at Selskar in Wexford town for the Canons Regular of St. Augustine in 1190. One of the family became its first Prior. Tradition has it that Alexander vowed to dedicate his life to God when, on his return from a crusade to the Holy Land, he discovered that the lady he loved had entered a convent, believing he had been killed. The present-day Wexford historian, Richard Roche, in his account of the family states: 'If the Roches lost their claim to titles and coats of arms in 1618, and their lands and possessions in the Cromwellian Plantation, later generations showed that they had lost none of the qualities of leadership and courage which had distinguished the family in earlier times.' Fr. Philip Roche, born at Monaootagh, led the Wexford rebels at the Battle of Horetown in June 1798, while General Edward Roche was another of the '98 leaders.

Fay -------------------- ALMOST A LYNCHING Once a lynching almost took place on Barklay Mountain. A.B. and William Burchill of the Burchill Brothers Monument Works in Towanda, remember the incident well. They believe it was in 1874 and the man's name was John Jenkins. Jenkins was believed to have commited a brutal assault upon a little girl and the mountain residents were so aroused by the crime that they demanded his life without waiting for the formality of a trial. The mob had Jenkins and was rushing him off to be hanged, when Redmond Roche, father of Mrs William Ronan of Towanda and Mrs Hugh Hogan of South Bend Ind, formerly of this place, a man of strong personality and charactor, appeared on the scene. "In the name of God, stop!", Mr Roche shouted. "let the law take its course." According to the Buerchills, the crowd was almost immediately subdued and Jenkins was bought to Towanda were(sic) he was tried and acquited. Later Jenkins was accused again of an attack upon a girl and that time he was shot dead without further ado. Barclay township was organized in 1867, taken from Franklin. It is bounded on the north by Franklin, on the east by Monroe and Overton, on the south by Overton, on the west by Leroy. It is situated in the highlands in the southwestern portion of the county, about two thousand feet above sea level. The business of mining semi-bituminous coal has been carried on quite extensively since 1856, when a railroad from Towanda, a distance of about sixteen miles was constructed. It was named Barclay in honor of Charles Barclay, of London, England, the owner of lands in the township. The history of Barclay would be the history of the mining companies which have been engaged in mining coal. Several million tons of coal have been mined and shipped to market since the commencement of mining operations. Barclay is a mining village containing about eight hundred inhabitants, who are chiefly engaged in mining, or in labor connected therewith. Carbon Run, a mining village about two miles west of Barclay, which formerly contained about three hundred inhabitants, is now about entirely deserted, the coal being worked out as is alleged. The coal is let down from the Barclay mountain by means of an incline to the foot of the plane, from whence it is taken by cars and locomotives to Towanda. -- Census 1910 per Report of Josephine Masterson, Indianapolis, In 1-1999: Own income, home free of mortgage Individual Record 1880 United States Census Search results | Download Next Individual -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Redmond ROACH Household Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Information: Birth Year <1831> Birthplace IRE Age 49 Occupation Laborer Marital Status M <Married> Race W <White> Head of Household Redmond ROACH Relation Self Father's Birthplace IRE Mother's Birthplace IRE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Census Place Barclay, Bradford, Pennsylvania Family History Library Film 1255104 NA Film Number T9-1104 Page Number 106C Household Record 1880 United States Census Search results | Download Previous Household Next Household -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Redmond ROACH Self M Male W 49 IRE Laborer IRE IRE Bridget ROACH Wife M Female W 50 IRE Keeping House IRE IRE Redmond ROACH Son S Male W 20 PA Mining Coal IRE IRE Michael ROACH Son S Male W 16 PA Mining Coal IRE IRE Catharine ROACH Dau S Female W 18 PA School IRE IRE Winefred ROACH Dau S Female W 15 PA School IRE IRE Ellen ROACH Dau S Female W 12 PA School IRE IRE Elizabeth ROACH Dau S Female W 10 PA School IRE IRE Ann HOWARD MotherL W Female W 85 IRE IRE IRE |
