Abt 1795 - 1871 (~ 76 years)
Generation: 1
| 1. | Edward Condon was born Abt 1795, Waterford, Ireland; died 7 Feb 1871, Aquaforte, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 9 Feb 1871, Our Lady of Fatima RC Cemetery, Aquaforte, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada. Other Events:
- Special Note: 1845, Ferryland, Newfoundland
- Property: 1847, Aquaforte, Newfoundland
- Voter: 1840-1859, Aquaforte, Newfoundland
Notes:
There has been some conflicting information published regarding Edward Condon. In the book Calling All Condons, the late Ray Condon wrote that this Edward Condon was born in Co. Wexford and had been brought over by Bishop Fleming to work on the RC Cathedral in St. John's. My research indicates that this was not the same Edward Condon. Edward Condon of Waterford married and settled at Aquaforte in the 1820s, long before the construction of the RC Cathedral began. It is not known exactly when the Condons arrived at Aquaforte but an old marriage record at Aquaforte in 1825, for Mary Readigan and John Mullaley, shows a John Condon as one of their witnesses. This could have been Edward's father or a brother.
Edward Condon married in 1827. His wife was Anne Saunders, daughter of Robert Saunders. The Saunders were of English origin, although it appears that Robert Saunders was born at Ferryland about 1783. His father was Daniel Saunders and his mother was Mary Carter, daughter of Robert Carter, from a prominent Ferryland family. Although the Saunders were Church of England, it appears that Robert Saunders' wife (name unknown) may have been Roman Catholic and Robert's children were raised in that faith.

The Boston Globe - ROBERT F. O'BRIEN, CAPTAINED DORY FISHING SCHOONER; AT 92
Author: By William P. Coughlin, Globe Staff - Date: 12/14/1991 Page: 41 - Section: OBITUARY
Robert F. O'Brien, one of the last of Boston's and Gloucester's dory fishing schooner captains, died of cancer yesterday at his Watertown home. He was 92. In Capt. O'Brien's heyday, when Boston was the world's top fishing port, a vessel would return here with at least 100,000 pounds of cod, haddock and flounder, or more than 20 times a shipload today. The big dory schooners and 130-foot steam and diesel beam trawlers jostled for space at the noisy dock every day.
Capt. O'Brien's two-masted, 95-foot schooner Putnam nested 13 to 17 dories on deck, which were dropped over the side on the fishing grounds with two fishermen each. Trips averaged seven to nine days, and Capt. O'Brien recalled one trip in 1948 when his vessel landed 200,000 pounds -- a record in a time of records.
A native of Aquaforte, Newfoundland, Capt. O'Brien came to Boston in 1922. He is widely remembered for the accident in 1942 off Cape Cod when the Putnam was struck and cut in two by a steamship in a wartime convoy out of Boston. Capt. O'Brien and his crew of 23 narrowly escaped in their dories after the steamer sailed on. Only one man was injured. Capt. O'Brien and his men, adrift without radios or lifejackets, were picked up by a Coast Guard cutter that spotted his flashlight blinking in the darkness.
A fisherman for 50 years, Capt. O'Brien also fished in the famed Boston schooner Adventure with Capt. Leo Hynes, now of Nashua. Hynes was the Boston Fish Pier's all-time high line fishing captain of the 1930s -- the man who caught the most fish per trip.
Capt. O'Brien also skippered an ex-minesweeper converted as a fishing vessel in early 1950s, and he alternated as mate and crewman on the Boston beam trawlers Flying Cloud, Arlington and Challenge.
He leaves his wife, Margaret (Carey); a daughter, Mary B. Ryan of Watertown; a son, Robert J. of Belmont; six grandchildren and a great- grandson.
A funeral Mass will be said Monday at 10 a.m. in St. Patrick's Church, Watertown. Burial will be in St. Patrick's Cemetery.
Robert — Margaret M. Carey. Margaret was born 3 Mar 1903, Witless Bay, Newfoundland; died 23 Jan 1998, Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet]
