Jane Peppler wrote on 22 Oct 01: "I have in hand a deed dated December 6 1799 between John Mullowny "now of the City of Philadelphia a Captain in the Navy of the United States" and Mark Wilcocks, Edward Carroll, and Anthony Cuthbert, all of the said City, gentlemen. "Whereas James Reynolds of the said City Carver and Gilder by Indenture dated the 26 day of June 1783 recorded in Deed book #7 page 167 etc. ... did convey unto John Quinlan of the said City Mariner land ... situate on the east side of Penn Street in the Square between Pine Street and Cedar." The deed explains that John Mullowney married John Quinlan's daughter Catherine on March 14, 1789; they had one child, a daughter Catherine Mullowney, and then were divorced 1 Sep. 1794. It goes on to explain that after the divorce, Catherine Quinlan Mullowney reassumed her maiden name. This deed shows she got her ex-husband to put land in trust (with the grantees above) for their daughter Catherine.

I believe John Mullowney went on to be quite wealthy. I believe he may be related to James Molony, currier, of Philadelphia and later Kingsessing. Please contact jpeppler@acpub.duke.edu  if you have a connection."

For now, suffice to say that a number of spellings co - exist in the Bay Bulls/Witless Bay (Canada) area among individuals who are quite closely related . Both mentioned spellings can be found  among my cousins.

JOHN JAMES MULLOWNEY. M. D.

In eastern Pennsylvania, on the 30th of June, 1908, Dr. Mullowney was married to Miss Emily EVANS and they have become the parents of three children: John Evans, who was born April 13, 1909; Penell Evans, born January 8, 1911; and William Thomas, born September 21, 1913. In 1918 Dr. Mullowney served as a member of the Volunteer Medical Corps and during the period of Dr. Tomkin's enlistment as a soldier in the World war he took care of the latter's practice, working on a fifty per cent basis. For many years he was identified with the Methodist Episcopal church but on his return from China, he became a member of the Society of Friends. When he came to Nashville he united with the Methodist Episcopal church, South. He is a member of the Kappa Delta Pi and Acacia fraternities, the American Public Speakers' Club, the American Child Hygiene Association, the Pennsylvania Teachers Association, the Pennsylvania Housing Association, the Pennsylvania Prison Society, the Philadelphia County Medical Society, the A

For many years Nashville has ranked with the great educational centers of the country and among its pioneer institutions of learning is numbered the Meharry Medical College, which was founded over forty years ago for the instruction and uplift of the Negro race. Dr. John James Mullowney, a man of scholarly attainments and broad experience, who is in hearty sympathy with its aims and purposes, is now filling the office of president. Like many other men of influence and power in the world, Dr. Mullowney comes of a large family and has been obliged to make his own way in life. A native of England, he was born in 1878 and when he was but a year old his mother was left a widow with eight children. When a lad of eight years he was placed in an orphanage in England, but a year later was sent to Canada and placed on a farm, where he had few opportunities for securing an education. At the age of seventeen years he went to Waterloo, in the province of Quebec, and secured employment in a store, working as messen

t fund of five hundred thousand dollars and covers an area of more than sixteen acres. Most of the buildings are modern and substantial and the school property is valued at four hundred thousand dollars, while the George W. Hubbard Hospital is a fine str ucture, supplied with the most complete surgical equipment, and was erected at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars. Dr. Hubbard continued active in control of the school until January, 1921, when Dr. John J. Mullowney, one of the most successful educa tors in the country, a sketch of whose life appears elsewhere in this work, became president and is now filling that office. For fifty-eight years Dr. Hubbard has given the full service of a finely tempered mind to the education of the Negro race, uncomp

Since 1916 Dr. Mullowney has served as lecturer for the Anti-Saloon League and as medical examiner for the Equitable Assurance Society of America and other insurance companies. He has made valuable contribution to medical literature and is the author of the following publications: "The Physician and His Profession"; "The Plague in North China"; "Chinese Hospitals"; "Public Health and the Welfare of Men"; "The Village Beautiful"; "A Revelation of the Chinese Revolution"; "Constipation; Its Cause and Prevention"; and "Think," a little book on applied psychology.

Upon his return to the United States Dr. Mullowney took special training in public health and preventive medicine and was appointed tenement house inspector in the city of Philadelphia. Later he was made assistant chief medical inspector for the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which he represented at the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco, in 1915. He continued with the department until October, 1917, when he resigned to become head of the department of science of Girard College of Philadelphia and professor of chemistry and biology of that renowned institution for the education of boys. He continued to serve in that capacity until February, 1921, when he accepted 158.

During this period Dr. Mullowney became interested in Christian missions and was sent as a delegate to the Student Volunteer convention at Toronto, Canada. Being desirous of entering upon medical missionary work in China, he offered his services to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church and was first sent to the Hopkins Memorial Hospital at Peking, China, after which he taught in the North China Union Medical College. He also worked for the Young Men's Christian Association and while residing in Peking assisted in staying the ravages of the Bubonic plague. He was a member and one of the organizers of the first Red Cross Corps to go into North China and in recognition of his services the Chinese republic has conferred upon him a ppropriate certificates and medals.

MULLOWNY

Belinda M Meier bmnm@prodigy.net is researching her ancestor:
John Fitzpatrick MULLOWNY Born in Philadelphia, 4 Jan 1769. He was a Drummer Boy in Washington's Army at Valley Forge and the Battle of Monmouth. After retiring from the Navy as a captain, he was appointed American Consul to Tangier by President Monroe.  He died on a man-of-war ship lying in the bay at Tangier in 1832.

Family records indicate his father and mother belonged to rival families of the Irish nobility.  They married clandestinely around the 1750 and immediately embarked for America.  Records show his father's name as John Mullowny. (mother's name unknown)  The couple went to Philadelphia whereby John invested in several ships. Records tell of six children born to this couple, all who died in infancy. The 7th was John Fitzpatrick Mullowny.

The following footnote is in the story written by John F. Mullowny's great-grandaughter, Clara Janetta Fort, daughter of David Meleg Fort and Glorvina Mullowny: "The surname was originally O'Maoilfhiona, and the family was once seated in the strong castle which stood at Cross-Ui-Maoilfhiona, now the town of Crossmolina, on the banks of the river Deel, in the barony of Tyrawley, County Mayo, Ireland.   This family were of the posterity of Cuan Mor, eight descent from Fiachra, son of Eochy Moyvane, the one hundred and twenty-fourth monarch of all Ireland. (see O'Hart's 'Irish Pedigrees', fourth edition)." This is all I've found out on Mullowny.  I have papers, affidavits, a will; but nothing gives any further information on lineage.
