Note: facts about this marriage come from Mike Cady.
(place of birth listed is Franklin, PA, but there are townships named Franklin in several different counties in PA, I am not sure which one is correct - it would have had to have been a place where there was a railroad
buried in Eulalia Cemetery, Coudersport, PA.
other data says she died circa 1951.
According to family stories, her mother-in-law blamed James Reidy's early death on the fact that Mathilda was Protestant not Catholic.
Also according to Ann Kline's family stories, the family had to go to Buffalo to bring Matilda and the 2 kids back to Coudersport after James Reidy's death, because the Reidy family were letting them starve because of the above.
Matilda's second husband was James Metcalf(e) - they were divorced in 1907 according to Mike Cady's data.

(also living with them were 3 other non-relations, probably boarders, 3 different surnames but names are difficult to read,
1 RR Laborer age 60, 1 RR laborer age 45, 1 female age 31 keeping house, all were born in Ireland,
the oldest man and the woman could not read or write.)
On the first page the McConeghy surname is difficult to read, it looks like McConagr/v or McConager or McConafer, on the second page it is looks more like McConethy. It is misindexed as Mc conager(Unknown) or Mc conaghr (Unknown) in ancestry.com's index
on genealogy.com it is indexed as McConafer.
wife Matilda's age appears to be listed as 49 but she should have been 47 so it is possibly just sloppy writing.

(note: age discrepancy on widow Matilda's age again. If she had been 36 in July 1860 (census) she should have been 56 in July 1880 (census) the birthdate we have for her would have made her 37 in 1860 and 57 in 1880 not 58.)
Census ages are sometimes confusing - the 1880 census instructions say to enter the age at last birthday prior to June 1 1880. The census year officially ended May 31, so they wanted the age of people withing the census year, but in this case they were enumerating
90 days later than that so who knows what they were actually recording) Other than the mother, the ages are all about as expected plus or minus one year.
