  Family	Michael Clancy,   b. Abt 1812, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland ,   d. 1 Jul 1888, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland  (Age ~ 76 years)

  In 1860, Holy Apostles RC Parish baptisms recorded the birth of a son, John Joseph, to Michael Clancy and Bridget Brennan. This is the only baptism record found in the Fermeuse/Renews parish records for children of Michael's second marriage, so it appears that Michael had moved out of that area in the 1850s, possibly living with his, or his second wife's, relatives at Caplin Bay or Ferryland respectively. No marriage for this couple was found in surviving parish records at Holy Apostles Parish (Fermeuse/Renews) or St. John's, so it is likely they were married in Holy Trinity Parish at Ferryland. In his book "A Place to Belong" Dr. Gerald Pocius shows a picture of the old Clancy family house on the north side of Calvert and states that "Tom Clancy's house ...... was built by his father around 1866". This reference likely should read "was built by his grandfather around 1866", since Tom's father, James, would have been only a boy (about eight years old) at that time.
