William Patrick Malone was born 1839/1840 in Leeds, England and died December 26th 1894 at the age of 52. He is buried in Old Cathedral cemetery Philadelphia, PA. His petition for naturalization states he arrived in the Port of New York in 1844.

On official documents his name flip flops between William Patrick and Patrick William. His death certificate lists him as William Patrick. He became a naturalized citizen of the United States on Sept. 25, 1866. His parents Lawrence and Alice Casey Malone (born approx 1816) were married on September 4, 1838 in Leeds, England at the St. Patrick’s Chapel.
