Healy was another name of which I find mention on numerous occasions in colonial days. William Healy, who was here as early as 1645, figured in a number of real estate transactions and had business dealings with Governor Dudley. One of the leading Keltic families of colonial Boston was the McCarthys. Thaddeus McCarthy was here as early as 1666. He was an officer of the town in 1674 and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1681. One of his sons, if I mistake not, was Florence McCarthy, who became one of the leading citizens of the town, a man of wealth and a successful dealer in provisions. He was one of the founders of the first Episcopal church in New England. He was here as early as 1686 and died in 1712. He left an estate valued at £2,922, including his farm, which embraced the land in Roxbury on which the Marcella Street Home stood. Another son was Captain William McCarthy, who was the best known ship-owner in the town. Still another was Thomas McCarthy. He was chosen a constable in 1727, but was not anxious to serve in that capacity. A fourth son was Thaddeus McCarthy, who was graduated from Harvard College, was pastor of the First Church in Worcester for thirty-seven years and became the father of fifteen children. A brother of this Thaddeus McCarthy, the minister, was Captain William McCarthy, who served as quartermaster of the Fifteenth Massachusetts Regiment in the Revolution, and a son was Dr. Thaddeus McCarthy, who became a noted medical practitioner in Fitchburg, Mass., and Keene, N. H. A Charles Maccarty took part in the expedition against Quebec in 1690 and was badly wounded. I will not vouch positively that I have stated accurately the relations to one another of these Maccarthys. There is a little difference in one or two statements in this matter by at least two good authorities, Bernard Cullen, author of _The Story of the Irish in Boston_, and the late Col. John C. Linehan of Concord, N. H., author of numerous articles on the early Irish residents of New England. Now I am going to give you a few tid-bits, as it were, from the colonial records and other sources: “Derman Mahoone is fined 20 shillings for intertaining two Irishwomen” in 1657. In other words, he simply gave them the hospitality of his home in a legitimate way. But that was against the law—for the Irish. “Margaret Noriss, an Irishwoman is admitted to the town.” That was in 1658. John Martin, a ship carpenter, was a resident in 1637 and was admitted an inhabitant in the following year. John Moore was the servant of the governor in 1639. Myles Tarne, a leather dresser, was here as early as 1642. From the records of 1646 I quote: “John Berry is put an apprentice to Edward Keyly for seaven years.” Berry, undoubtedly, is a corruption of Barry, and Keyly of Kelly or Kiley.
