from Pennsylvania, US Naturalization Originals, 1795-1930, Record for William Quigley
Note: Another document dated 1 October 1847 in the name of William Quigley, birthplace Scotland, is listed in the Court District of Pennsylvania.
The 1850 US Federal Census for Steubenville City, Jefferson County, Ohio, recorded a weaver called William Quigley aged 48 years and born in Scotland. With him lived his wife Mary, and three daughters, Catherine, Mary and Ellen.
In 1860 the US Federal Census recorded William Quigley and family. They were listed among the free inhabitants of Ridley Township in the County of Delaware, Pennsylvania. 'Wm Quigley', his wife Mary and their two daughters, Mary and Ellen, were recorded living in Leiperville Post Office District. William was aged 57 years and had been born in Scotland. He was a weaver.
William Quigly died at the recorded age of 67 years in Philadelphia on 16 April 1869. His birthplace was noted as Ireland in the death certificate paperwork. His status at death was 'married'. He was buried in Cathedral Cemetery Philadelphia in a new grave.
Note: Since William Quigly in his naturalisation oath gave his place of birth as Scotland, and it is repeated in census information, that is more likely to be true than information given after his death by others.
