It appears that he is the oldest son and is twelve years old 2 CONC . At some point Terence goes to sea and as a sailor rises to the rank of Advanced Master. O 2 CONC n June 21, 1849 Terence swears to be legally naturalized and a resident of the United State 2 CONC s of America for about seventeen years. He does this while applying for a Carpenters Certifi 2 CONC cate to build the Schooner George Washington. This indicates that Terence had been living i 2 CONC n the United States of America since 1832. This information agrees with the Irish 1834 Tith 2 CONC e record which no longer shows the Brady family living in Lavey. From Ireland, it appears th 2 CONC at Terence ends up living in or at least spending quite a bit of time in New York City, New Y 2 CONC ork. On a will dated April 13, 1844, Terence's father in law, James Brady refers to Terenc 2 CONC e Brady of New York City. According to the obituary of Terence's wife Bridget, the couple ma 2 CONC rried in 1839 in New York City and then moved to Bristol, Bucks county, Pennsylvannia. Howev 2 CONC er, by August 17, 1837, Terence is living in Bristol, Pennsylvania as evidenced by an open le 2 CONC tter he has published in Philadelphia. The letter was in regards to a transaction where some 2 CONC one tried to steal a horse he had purchased. Before his marriage to Bridget, in 1838 propert 2 CONC y on Cedar Street, in Bristol Township was purchased, probably in the expectation that he wou 2 CONC ld be moving there with his new bride. The young couple's first home is built on this proper 2 CONC ty. 2 CONT While in Bristol, Terence and Bridget's home is the location of some of the first Cathol 2 CONC ic Church services. The family appears to have been instrumental in the building of Saint Ma 2 CONC rk's Catholic Church in Bristol. According to J. H. Battle's "History of Bucks County, Penn 2 CONC sylvania, 1887," in the 1840's Terence Brady's home was one of five homes where mass was hel 2 CONC d by the Catholic Priests. A number of Brady family members are buried at St. Mark's Catholi 2 CONC c cemetery. 2 CONT In 1845, Terence Brady and Walker Laing owner of the Bristol Coal Company, file for a ca 2 CONC rpenters certificate to have the Schooner Enterprise of Bristol built. It appears that Terenc 2 CONC e is fifty percent owner of the ship with Chester Sturdevant. At the completion of the Ent 2 CONC erprise on August 20, 1845, Terence becomes Master of the the Enterprise. According to the c 2 CONC arpenters certificate the Enterprise was eighty five feet in length, eighteen feet wide wit 2 CONC h a hull depth of seven feet two tenths. The Enterprise is estimated to be 101 21/95 tons i 2 CONC n weight. 2 CONT In 1847, Terence and Bridget buy a home located at 1200 Radcliffe Street and the adjacen 2 CONC t lot. Both lots are 16 feet wide by 180 feet in length and includes a two story home that i 2 CONC s 16 feet wide by 75 feet long. Even today this is the only double lot in this part of Bristo 2 CONC l. Terence and Bridget at this time have five children and had no doubt out grown the home o 2 CONC n Cedar Street. The larger home was most welcome and is located a block or so away from th 2 CONC e ship yard and docks. 2 CONT With the completion of the Schooner Enterprise of Bristol, a second schooner is starte 2 CONC d at Jone's Ship Yard. The ship yard is located on a bend in the Deleware River where Adam 2 CONC s Hallow Creek flows into the river. The Schooner George Washington of Bristol had two masts 2 CONC , one deck, is 92 6/10 feet long, 18 feet wide has a hull depth of 7 6/10 feet and is rated a 2 CONC t 116 9/95 tons. The enrollment papers are signed by Terence Brady on the 21st of June 1849 2 CONC . Terence is the Master and owner of the Schooner George Washington. At the completion of th 2 CONC e Schooner George Washington of Bristol, Terence sells his interest in the Schooner Enterpris 2 CONC e of Bristol to Chester Sturdevant. This is probably done to help pay for the George Washing 2 CONC ton which he appears to own outright. With the sale of the Enterprise, James McLean become 2 CONC s Master of the Enterprise. Before the construction of the Enterprise and George Washington 2 CONC , Terence appears to have been sailing other ships. 2 CONT Bristol was an important port in regards to the transportation of coal. Coal was shippe 2 CONC d from Easton to Bristol via the Delaware canal. In 1832, a sixty mile canal that was fort 2 CONC y feet wide had been built from Easton to Bristol, Bucks county, Pennsylvannia. This canal t 2 CONC ransported coal by barge from the mines to Bristol where it could be loaded on ships and tran 2 CONC sported to market. Ships then loaded the coal and transported it up and down the east coas 2 CONC t of the United States of America. According to family legend a Bill of Lading for a deliver 2 CONC y to Mount Vernon, the home of George Washighton had hung in the family barn in Sonora townsh 2 CONC ip, Hancock county, Illinois. Terence's last voyage on the Schooner George Washington from A 2 CONC lexandria, Virginia sailed by the Mount Vernon Estate. No doubt there are other times that h 2 CONC e made this same voyage. 2 CONT Terence made a good living as a ship's Master. The 1850 census lists the value of hi 2 CONC s personal property at $2000. With the building of the Reading Railroad into Philadelphia ab 2 CONC out 1852 or earlier, and new canal outlet being built closer to the cape, Bristol's prosperit 2 CONC y declines. While these events were devistating to Bristol, Terence by this time was sailin 2 CONC g and based out of Philadelphia. During this time period financially he appears to be secur 2 CONC e. 2 CONT On March 11, 1852 an event occurs which will have a lasting effect on Terence Brady an 2 CONC d the future of the Brady family. At 1 o'clock A. M. while sailing to New York City from Ale 2 CONC xandria, Virginia with a load of wheat and corn, the Schooner George Washington runs agroun 2 CONC d on Cold Springs Inlet Bar near Cape Island, New Jersey. At daylight Captain Brady and hi 2 CONC s crew are safely evacuated from the Schooner George Washington with little hope that the shi 2 CONC p or its cargo can be saved. Fortunately both the ship and cargo appear to have been insured 2 CONC . 2 CONT With the loss of the Schooner George Washington of Bristol, Terence decides to end his s 2 CONC ailing career. At 43 years old he had likely been at sea close to thirty years. With seve 2 CONC n children Terence and Bridget decide to leave Bristol and move to Nauvoo, Hancock county, Il 2 CONC linois leaving behind their property which likely could not be sold. There are other famil 2 CONC y members still living in Bristol so it appears they did not worry about leaving their proper 2 CONC ty. According to Bridget's obituary the family moved in 1852 to Nauvoo. This would have bee 2 CONC n after the loss of the Schooner George Washington in March of 1852. In 1891 Bridget visit 2 CONC s the family of John W. Bray who was then deceased. The newspaper mentions that The Brady' 2 CONC s had moved west with the family of John W. Brady. In "The History of Hancock County by T. H 2 CONC . Gregg," published in 1880, it confirms that John W. Brady had moved to Carthage in 1852. N 2 CONC o doubt Terence chose Nauvoo because of its location on the Mississippi River. 2 CONT Nauvoo, Illinois was uniquely situated on the Mississippi River. It's location was impo 2 CONC rtant as Des Moine Rapids were located there which made Nauvoo an important port on the Missi 2 CONC ssippi River. In 1846 the Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter Day Saint 2 CONC s) had been forced to leave Nauvoo, a town which at that time was larger than Chicago, Illino 2 CONC is. The Church of Jusus Christ of Latter Day Saints had left behind agents to dispose of the 2 CONC ir property. Some property however was lost as a result of the property taxes not being pai 2 CONC d by those who had left Nauvoo with the Latter Day Saints. The Brady's probably benefitted fr 2 CONC om the depressed property values. After moving to Nauvoo in 1852 Terence purchases an 83.7 2 CONC 2 acre farm and an additional 20 acre parcel in Sonora township just a few miles outside of N 2 CONC auvoo on March 11, 1854. Terence who had grown up a farmers son in Ireland where the famil 2 CONC y had not owned land now owned his own farm. Terence would also be able to be close to shipp 2 CONC ing on the Mississippi River which probably made Nauvoo that much more appealling. The 83.7 2 CONC 2 acre farm was located at the south half of the north west quarter of section 16 in Sonora T 2 CONC ownship with the 20 acre parcel being located in the south west quarter of section 8. This t 2 CONC wenty acre parcel had been part of the martyred Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr.'s farm which had be 2 CONC en subdevided by his son's Joseph Smith, III and William Frederick Granger Smith. Terence im 2 CONC mediately outfitted the farm in a first class manner. Just before buying the farm on Februar 2 CONC y 15, 1854 his youngest son Terence Brady, Jr. was born in Nauvoo, Illinois. 2 CONT In September of 1854, six months after purchasing the farm and seven months after his y 2 CONC oungest son is born, Terence goes back to Bristol, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the trip wa 2 CONC s to dispose of his property there as well as visiting members of his family. While in Brist 2 CONC ol Terence contracted Typoid Fever and died leaving Bridget a widow at age 32, with eight chi 2 CONC ldren. Terence's oldest child is Mary Elizabeth age fouteen and his oldest son Michael is on 2 CONC ly eleven years old. Bridget is appointed the executrix her husband's estate. To protect th 2 CONC e so called interests of Terence's children Hancock county requires the sale of farm equipmen 2 CONC t and livestock. The home is auctioned off at the door step by Hancock county. Bridget the 2 CONC n buys it back with the help of neighbors. 2 CONT Terence is likely buried at the closest Catholic cemetery to Bristol, which may be Tren 2 CONC ton, New Jersey or perhaps in Philadlphia. The Catholic cemetery in Bristol did not get star 2 CONC ted until 1855. A grave marker at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery in Nauvoo lists Te 2 CONC rence with his name spelled incorrectly as well as having the wrong birth date. This maker w 2 CONC as put up in 1894 forty years after Terence's death and paid for out of Bridgets estate. I 2 CONC t is unlikely that a Typhus body would have been brought back to Nauvoo or that they would ha 2 CONC ve waited forty years to put up a marker it Terence was buried in Nauvoo. Bridget Brady nev 2 CONC er remarried and remains living on the farm until March of 1891 when she sells the 83.72 far 2 CONC m to Emile Eid and auctions the farm equipment and household furniture at a public auction 2 CONC . The 20 acre parcel was sold to neighbor Amos Pilkington. Bridget then moves to Nauvoo whe 2 CONC re she lives with Nancy Moffitt Burt, the sister of her son-in-law, Thomas Nicholas Moffitt 2 CONC , who had recently been widowed. It is at Nancy Burt's home that Bridget dies September 15 2 CONC , 1892 after a lingering illness. 2 CONT 2 CONT "A SCANDALOUS TRANSACTION.---The subscriber came into the city, from Bristol, on Tuesday, an 2 CONC d purchased a Horse, which he left at the Black Bear Tavern, in Front street, about noon, o 2 CONC n the same day, for safe keeping, while attending to other business in the city.

Serial Xo. 232,P57. (No model.) 2 CONT 2 CONT To all whom it may concern: 2 CONT 2 CONT Be it known that I, James Beady, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sonora, in the c 2 CONC ounty of Hancock and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements i 2 CONC n Hoofing for Hay, Grain, &c.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, an 2 CONC d exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whic 2 CONC h it appertains to make and use the same. 2 CONT This invention relates to roofing. 2 CONT The object is to provide portable covering or hay, grain, or the like while in the stack 2 CONC , or for any material which may be subject to exposure in the field, which covering is design 2 CONC ed to be easily and quickly put together, and at the same time to be simpleand economical i 2 CONC n construction. 2 CONT The invention consists in a section of roofing to be fastened to an upper or overlappin 2 CONC g section similarly constructed. 2 CONT Furthermore, the invention consist in sections of roofing each provided near the upper e 2 CONC dge with hooks, spikes, bolts, projections, or the like, whereby one section is secured t 2 CONC o a similar upper overlapping section. 2 CONT Furthermore, the invention consists in sections of roofing each provided near the uppe 2 CONC r edge with hooks, spikes, bolts, projections, or the like and near the lower edge with slot 2 CONC s or perforations, whereby the hooks, bolts, or projections of one section are caused to enga 2 CONC ge with the slots or perforations of an overlapping section next above. 2 CONT Furthermore, the invention consists in sections of roofing each having hooks, bolts, o 2 CONC r projections near its upper edge and slots or perforations near its lower edge for the purpo 2 CONC se of engaging the bolts, spikes, or projections at the section next below, the sides of th 2 CONC e sections being flanged for the purpose of attachment to similar sections at either side. 2 CONT Furthermore, the invention consists in a section of roofing bent at its center, its side 2 CONC s flanged for lateral connection to similar sections, the lower edges of the said bent sectio 2 CONC n containing perforations or slots for attachment of lower depending sections; and, finally 2 CONC , the invention consists in various novel details of construction whereby the objects are att 2 CONC ained. Intheaccompanying drawings,in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding p 2 CONC arts, I have illustrated a series of sections of portable roofing constructed and joined in a 2 CONC ccordance with my invention. 2 CONT In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of two divisions of roofing, showing th 2 CONC e section connected byretaining-hooks. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of the fastening emp 2 CONC loyed in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an additional sec-* 60 tional view of two sections joined by a sta 2 CONC ple and pin, and Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of two sections joined by means of retaini 2 CONC ng bolt and nnt. Fig. 5 is a sectional view illustrating how the sections are secured togethe 2 CONC r. 2 CONT A represents the covering or roofing,which consists of the divisions a a', each of whic 2 CONC h is composed of a series of inclined plates or sections joined at their upper and lower ends 2 CONC , the lower end of an upper section overlapping the 70 upper end of the section below it, i 2 CONC n .order more efficiently to enable the roofing to shed water. The sections a' are rectangula 2 CONC r in form, and may be constructed of any suitable material, bub preferably of tin, each secti 2 CONC on 75. being provided near its upper edge with two or more hooks, bolts, or projections, a2 2 CONC , secured in it in any preferred manner. Near its lower edge each section is provided with sl 2 CONC ots or perforations a3, which, when the sections are 80 placed in position for attachment, re 2 CONC gister with the hooks or projections in the upper edge of the section imrnediatelybelow it, t 2 CONC hus forming readyandsimplemeansof connection. The outer edges of each section are turned up 2 CONC - 85 ward, forming a flange, by means of which several series of sections or divisions can b 2 CONC e laterally attached toeach other, thereby enabling the formation of a covering of any desire 2 CONC d breadth. The flanges are here shown connected by an 90 inclosing-cap held thereon by wire 2 CONC s and pins passing through perforations in the sides of both the cap and the flanges, the end 2 CONC s of the wires being twisted to prevent accidental displacement; butitisobviousthat various m 2 CONC eans 95 of attachment of these flanges maybe employed. 2 CONT In order to make a close juncture of the tops of the two sides of the roofing, an angula 2 CONC r top or cap piece, a*, is employed, which cap-piece ibo is bent downward, forming inclined s 2 CONC ides and having plates or perforations near the lower end of each of these sides for the appl 2 CONC ication of the hooks in the next lower sections. This angular cap-piece has also side flange 2 CONC s for lateral attachment to similar cap-pieces of adjoining division?. 2 CONT In the modification shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings I employ a staple to secure the leav 2 CONC es or sections together, the said staple having its ends passed through the overlapping edge 2 CONC s of ro the sections and also through a plate on the inside, with its ends beaten down on th 2 CONC e plate, and a pin being passed through the opening provided by the staple on the outside, wh 2 CONC ich secures the overlapping edges of the sections or leaves firmly together. In the modificat 2 CONC ion shown in Fig. 4 I employ a nut and bolt for the purpose of securing the sections together 2 CONC , the bolt passing through the overlapping edges of said sections with its threaded end on th 2 CONC e outside of the sections to receive a nut. 2 CONT I do not wish to limit myself to the forms of attachment here shown between the upper an 2 CONC d lower sections, as any device may be employed for that purpose. 2 CONT The device is especially adapted for covering stacks of hay or grain left in the field a 2 CONC nd preventing injury thereto by wind or rain, although its utility as housing for various pur 2 CONC poses is obvious. 2 CONT Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by L 2 CONC etters Patent, is— 2 CONT 1. A hay-cap comprising a section or sections of roofing bent to form inclined sides, sa 2 CONC id section constituting the apex of the cap and having the side edges provided with vertica 2 CONC l flanges to allow lateral attachment of other similar sections thereto, substantially as des 2 CONC cribed. 2 CONT 2. A. hay-cap comprising a section of roofing bent to form inclined sides, said sectio 2 CONC n constituting the apex of the cap and having tlie side edges vertically flanged to permit la 2 CONC teral attachment thereto of other like sections, and the lower edges overlapping other plai 2 CONC n flat sections attached to the lower edge of the first section, the side edge of said plai 2 CONC n flat sections being also provided with vertical flanges to permit the lateral attachment o 2 CONC f like sections, substantially as described. 2 CONT 3. A hay-cap comprising a section of roofing bent to form inclined sides, said section c 2 CONC onstituting the apex of the cap and having side edges vertically flanged to permit lateral at 2 CONC tachment of other like sections, and lower edges overlapping other plain flat sections attach 2 CONC ed to the lower-edge of the first section, the side edges also being provided with vertical f 2 CONC langes to permit the lateral attachment of like sections, and an inclosing-cap to fit over 6 2 CONC 0 the lateral flanges of the sections, substantially as described. 2 CONT 4. A hay-cap comprising a section of roofing bent to form inclined sides, said section c 2 CONC onstituting the apex of the cap and having side edges vertically flanged to permit lateral at 2 CONC tachment of other like sections, and lower edges overlapping other plain flat sections attach 2 CONC ed to the lower edge of the first section, the cap and the said flat sections being secured t 2 CONC ogether by means of hooks, nuts, and bolts, staples, or the like passed through the overlappi 2 CONC ng portions of the cap and flat sections, and an inclosing cap to fit over the lateral flange 2 CONC s of the sections, substantially as. described. 2 CONT 2 CONT In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. 2 CONT 2 CONT JAMES BRADY. 2 CONT Witnesses: 2 CONT 2 CONT Augustus Brownlee, 2 CONT Charles F.
