1882.  May 20.  Marriage of Edward Delehanty and Bridget Lonergan.

In Castleton.  Ended up having a houseful of kids, including Richard J. (b. 1883), Edward F. (b. 1884), Mary E. (b. 1886), James T. (b. 1887), John Philip (b. 1888), Annie A. (b. 1890), William H. (b. 1892), Alice B. (b. 1895), Kittie E. (b. 1897), and Leo M. (b. 1899).  Exact relationship to our Delehantys unknown, though hints are that they were very distantly related yet also on friendly, familial terms.  This also means that throughout his childhood, John Delehanty shared his name with two other residents of Castleton:  his Uncle John Delehanty, and this John Philip Delehanty, two years younger than he.  (After 1904, there were four John Delehantys.)  Not only was our John Delehanty smothered by dense networks of cousins & kin; he didn't even have his own name.
