What is recorded here
Kilnaleck in County Cavan, Ireland, gave birth to Thomas James Conaty on August 1, 1847, the eldest of eight children in a household that would soon cross an ocean. He left that soil behind at age three, yet the discipline of a large family and the gravity of Irish Catholic life likely shaped the man who would later lead universities and dioceses across America.
Why this person is known: Catholic bishop (1847–1915)
