Note

Michael's son James' death certificate says born in Canada. Other evidence implies born in Ireland.

1870 census - Lansingburgh, NY shows Michael Hartney (22 - laborer) lodging with a family, along with another Irish laborer. Same census shows Mary Leyden in the same town, also lodging with a family. Presumably, they married in 1870~71 after the census.ANOTHER 1870 CENSUS shows Michael & mary Hartney living in Elmira, NY.

1880 census - Elmira, NY shows Mike (32), Mary (30), Patrick (9), Simon (7), Thomas (6), William (4), John (2) and Guy (3 months) living at 809 Railroad st. Mike's occupation is "huxter" and Mary's occupation is "keeping house."

Boyd's Elmira, NY directories: 1876 Michael Hartney, Laborer, N. Main st. 1878 Michael Hartney, Grocer, 809 Railroad st. 1880 Michael Hartney, Grocer, 809 Railroad st. 1882 Mary Hartney, Grocer, 809 Railroad st. 1888 Mary Hartney, Grocer, 809 Railroad st. As Mary took over the business between 1880 and 1882, I assume Mike died.

U.S. Naturalization: 14 DEC 1867
