Notes
a. Note:   OCCUPATION: Blacksmith in Pennsylvania
  RESIDENCE: The 1889 Johnstown City Directory [destroyed by flood and reproduced from saved proofs] lists "Thoburn John, blacksmith, r h 133 Iron st, Mill. 10-2" -- the intro (from website) explains that the numbers at the end are the number of family members recorded before the flood and after the flood. The "r h" means rented house.
  DEATH: listed as "missing" or "not found"; family members, Thomas andJennie, are only recorded family members found and buried in private plots after the flood.
  BIOGRAPHY: "...Neal Sharkey sailed from Liverpool, England, for NewYork, in the sailing vessel "Old America," was eight weeks crossing the ocean, and arrived in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, May 12, 1866. Two days later he secured work as a laborer for the Cambria Iron Company,and in the fall of the same year began work there as a puddler, which he followed in Johnstown and Pittsburg for thirteen years. In June,1879, he returned to Johnstown and engaged in the hotel business atthe corner of Market and Washington streets, that stood on the site ofthe Crystal Hotel, which was swept away in the flood of 1889. In the building at the time was Mr. Sharkey and his family, also two men--John Thoburn and Mr. Cronan. The building was carried to Morrell's Plot, now Main street, and there they remained until the water subsided"[Henry Wilson Storey, "History of Cambria County Pennsylvania", 1907,http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacambri/books/Storey/v3/tp.html]
