(Son) Will26 January 1880Patrick's father prepared his will dated 26 January 1880 at Camogue, County Roscommon, and named his wife Maria, his sons John Joseph, Timothy, Michael, Patrick, James and Joseph, and his granddaughter, "Eleanor" Farmer of Newtown, as her name was written in the District Registry's copy of the will. Her name was actually Ellen Mary Farmer. He named his wife's brother, John Forde of Rockmount, Croghan, his brother Owen Rorke of Cloonyquin, and his son-in-law Owen Farmer of Newtown, as his Joint Trustees and Executors.

Finding this will was exciting and we are very grateful to Patrick Hume, a Thady Rorke descendant, for his expertise in reading and transcribing our initial copy. His knowledge of this early Rorke family, and also of Ireland generally, has been especially helpful to us. So, thank you, Patrick!

The District Registry's copy of Thady's will was prepared without paragraphs, so we have taken the liberty of separating the thoughts where we thought appropriate for ease of reading. We have also modified some place names to their current spellings, but have not modified any other spellings that we are aware of, and we've made only minor punctuation adjustments. Our transcription of the registry's copy follows:

In the Name of God Amen.

I Thady Rorke of Camogue do make this my last Will and Testament, Revoking all others that "has" been made by me.

I will to my son John Joseph Rorke the sum of Five pounds sterling.

I will to my son Timothy Rorke the sum of One Hundred pounds sterling together with the lands of Farranawillin which I hold under lease.

I will to my son Michael Rorke the sum of Two Hundred pounds sterling together with the Farm of Cloonglasny beg.

I will my son Patrick Rorke the sum of Three Hundred pounds sterling together with the Farm of Lettreen.

Note: in the next sentence of the will, the name “John” was crossed out, so the bequest was intended to read: “I will to my son Joseph Rorke the sum of Three Hundred pounds sterling.”

The remaining portion of all my assets in monies, livestock and crops together with a Policy of Insurance on my own life for five hundred and odd pounds on the Alliance Office Castlerea, per Receipts and Account in my Cash Book, I will to my son James Rorke after paying the aforesaid bequests, Rents, Taxes, Funeral expenses and all other just debts due by me together with Ten pounds which I will to my granddaughter Eleanor(sic) Farmer of Newtown and Five pounds to my respected Parish Priest and Curate for Masses to be offered up for the eternal repose of my poor soul.

I will and direct that my wife Maria Rorke shall get the Annual allowance of Fifteen pounds sterling, for her support and maintenance during her natural life, together with the Room she now sleeps in, to be charged on the lands of Camogue.

It is my will and wish that none of my household furniture or farming implements be sold by Auction, but kept here for the use and benefit of this place.

But it is my will that all my other assets and effects shall be Auctioned and disposed of at a Suitable Season of the year. The monies to be secured and converted to the best purpose for each member of my family, according to the forgoing will, by my Trustees and Executors.

I give and devise to John Forde of Rockmount, Croghan, Owen Rorke of Cloonyquin and Owen Farmer of Newtown, the house, offices and lands of Camogue, leased and released as I now hold them, in trust for my son James Rorke until he reaches the age of twenty-five years, when I will that he then get into legal possession, provided he is in sound health and always guided by my Executors. Should he die before he reaches that age, I will and devise the aforesaid house, offices and lands of Camogue to my son Patrick Rorke, and should neither of them survive the age of twenty-five years, I will and devise the aforesaid house, offices and lands of Camogue to my son Joseph Rorke.

I give and devise to my Trustees and Executors the lands of Mullygollan and Toneragh, if they think it prudent to hold them, in trust for maintenance, clothing and education of Patrick Rorke, James Rorke and Joseph Rorke.

I also will that the profit made out of the lands of Camogue, until my son James attain the age of Twenty-Five years, shall also go to the support, clothing and education of the aforesaid Patrick, James and Joseph Rorke. The balance of profit, if any, to be divided share and share alike on them.

I hope my good friends through life, Christopher French Esq., Arthur St. George French Esq., both of Cloonyquin, and Patrick Taaffe Esq. of Foxborough, will never see an injustice done to any of my family.

I hereby appoint John Forde of Rockmount, Owen Rorke of Cloonyquin, and Owen Farmer of Newtown as Joint Trustees and Executors of this, my Last Will and Testament.

There is a sum of one hundred pounds sterling due me by George S. O’Connor Esq. and Henry Smyth Esq. both now of Hollywell, to be allowed out of last year’s rent of Mullygollan and Toneragh. (per agreement on Stamped paper)

Father*James Rorke1 b. 20 Mar 1864, d. 7 Jan 1920
Mother*Annie White1 b. 1859, d. 8 Aug 1894

(Son) Death8 August 1894Timothy's mother died on 8 August 1894 at age 35, leaving her husband a widower with 6 young children. Timothy was 6 years old.2 
(Son) Life Changing EventLife changed dramatically for the Rorke family after the death of the children's mother. Their father James would immigrate to America without any of his children within two years, probably leaving at least the younger of the children with various relatives. Annie, then about age 13, was sent to a convent boarding school in Limerick County and became Annie O'Rourke. The brothers, Timothy, Michael, James, Patrick and Joseph, were also scattered about Ireland. The three oldest, Timothy, Michael and James, who were ages 8, 6 and 5, respectively, when their father left Ireland, would be sent to an industrial boarding school in County Galway. We have yet to find Patrick in the 1901 census, and don't know where he spent his youngest years. Joseph, who was about 2 years old when their father left Ireland, lived with his aunt and uncle Margaret and Owen Farmer.3,4 
Name VariationAt school he was called Thady.5 
Census Ireland 1901*31 March 1901Three Rorke brothers, Timothy, Michael and James, appeared on the 1901 census taken as of 31 March 1901 at the Industrial Boarding School, Letterfrack, County Galway.

Both were listed on page 3, numbers 103-94 and 104-95, respectively. James was listed on page 1, number 14 of the 171-163, between James O'Donnell and Edward O'Brien, and appeared as James O'Rorke, age 9. All of the pupils were Roman Catholic males. Only two of the other boys had been born in County Roscommon.6 
Emigration*18 August 1904Brothers Timothy and Michael Rorke emigrated together from Ireland to New York City, sailing from Queenstown, County Cork, on 18 August 1904 on the ship Teutonic. Thady was age 15 and Michael age 14.7 
Immigration*25 August 1904When they arrived in New York City, New York, on 25 August 1904, immigrations officials changed the spelling of their surname from "Rorke" to "O'Rorke" and processed Timothy as "Thady", very likely at his request. Each of the boys had $5.00 in his possession and Michael was recorded as having "sore eyes". The brothers reported they were in New York City to join their father, James O'Rorke, whose address was c/o J. McDermott, 12 East 27th Street New York City.8 
(Son) Census State NY 19151 June 1915Thady appeared with his father and two of his brothers, Patrick and Joseph, on the 1915 New York state census taken as of 1 June 1915 at 137 East 29th Street, New York City. Their surname was spelled "O'Rourke" and they were boarders in the house of Bella Mullen. Thady was indexed as "Teddy". He was 26 years of age, in the United States for 10 years, a citizen of the country with an occupation as a bartender.9 
Description*May 1917 In May 1917 he was described as slender, of medium height, with gray eyes and brown hair with a tendency to bald.10 
Draft Registration*5 May 1917Using his full name of Timothy Patrick O'Rorke, he completed his World War I Draft Registration Card on 5 May 1917. His home address was reported as 544 West 147th Street, New York City. He was 29 years of age, single, a naturalized citizen, and worked as a barkeeper at Thaley's Restaurant, 145th and Broadway, New York City.10 
Marriage*12 September 1917He married Marion V. Carthy, daughter of Thomas Carthy and Elizabeth Garray, on 12 September 1917 in Manhattan, New York City. Timothy was 29 years of age and Marion was 24.11 
Census US 1920*20 January 1920Marion and Timothy O'Rorke appeared on the 1920 census taken on 20 January 1920 at 552 West 160th Street, New York City. Timothy was recorded as 30 years of age, although he was actually 32, and Marion was 27. Timothy's immigration year was 1904 and he was naturalized in 1911. The couple rented their home, and Timothy worked as a salesman for a restaurant. Their new baby, Joseph P., was 3 months old.12 
Draft Registration1942He completed his World War II Draft Registration Card as Timothy Patrick O'Rorke in 1942. He lived at 1071 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York City, and his mailing address was the same. He didn't have a telephone.

Mother*Florence Hobbs3,2,5,1 b. 1856, d. 1892
Birth*25 November 1889Bessie Lillian Rose was born on 25 November 1889 in Claiborne County, Tennessee.1 
Name VariationShe also called herself Lillian.3 
(Daughter) Death1892She was about 3 years old when her mother died in 1892 at about age 365 
(Daughter) Death19 August 1900 and her father died when she was 10, on 19 August 1900, at age 52.4 
Marriage*28 March 1916She married, as her first or second husband, as his first wife, Van R. Charles, son of Wilber A. Charles and Rhoda Halbert, on 28 March 1916 in Orange County, Indiana. Van was 22 years of age, and Lillian was recorded as 20 years old, although she was actually age 26. Her place of birth was also recorded incorrectly as Kentucky, although she had been born in Tennessee. When she married Patrick Henry Adams in 1918, she reported she had been married once before and that her married surname had been "Dougharty", so we wonder whether her marriage to Van Charles was actually her second, and not her first, marriage.3,2,6 
Divorce*Lillian and Van separated, and were probably divorced very soon after their marriage. Lillian married again in November of 1918, and Van married again in November of 1919.6,7 
Marriage*15 November 1918She married, as her second or third husband, as his first wife, Patrick Henry Adams, son of Charles H. Adams and Margaret Monahan, on 15 November 1918 in Hamilton County, Ohio.6

Family
Birth*June 1764John Rose was born in June 1764.2 
Marriage*He married Hannah Addleman.1 
Residence*John was an early settler near Clarksville, Greene County, Pennsylvania.3 
Occupation*He owned a distillery.3 
Death*28 November 1825He died on 28 November 1825 at age 61.2 
Burial*He was buried in the Rose Cemetery, Clarksville, Greene County, Pennsylvania.2 
Relationship Note*William McKinley Jr. and John Rose were reported by the Heaton source to have been first cousins, appearing unlikely to this researcher given the almost 80 year difference in their ages. The Douglas County source reported that William Heaton's "grandfather, John Rose, and President McKinley's grandmother were cousins." If a cousin connection existed between the two, it may be discovered with additional research. McKinley was the 25th President of the United States, from 1897 to his assassination in 1901, and also the last Civil War Veteran to be elected to the presidency.1,3,4
