Kip Ford reports he had five wives, but Michael only lived three more years after his divorce from wife #2. Marriage record to Caroline Dorey says his occupation was “mariner.” In 1880 census his occupation was “laborer.” Children with first wife: William H.

In 1870 lived in Truro, MA with wife Caroline and 7 children William H., Maria S., Lewis, Andrew W., Thomas H., Willard B., George M. With Caroline DOREY owned a house in Truro, MA. When the Pamet River silted up so a boat could no longer get up it, he moved the house to Bound Brook Island, Wellfleet, MA by cutting it in half and moving each half on a wagon. In 1880 lived in Wellfleet with wife Cara (Caroline apparently has several nicknames) and 8 children Andrew W., Thomas H., Willard B., George M., James W., Estella D, John D., and Alma M.

After her death, he visited Caroline in Nova Scotia to ask her to take care of the children. They subsequently married. Married by A. H. Newton, M. E. Preacher. Caroline divorced Michael for “extreme cruelty” beginning January 1879. In 1900 she lived in Lynn, MA at 29 Savory Street with husband Henry King. She had 10 children, 7 living. [but there were 11 children] Caroline died of cancer in Medford, MA (presumably a hospital). Death was recorded in Wellfleet. Headstone reads “Caroline Ann Doré.”

Known as “A. W.” Annie Barrett’s dowry helped start his business. Owned A. W. Bryne & Son Construction which built water lines and sewer lines; the son was Thomas Lachlyn Bryne. The business stopped at his death. One project was to dismantle the drawbridge over the Cape Cod Canal. He worked on the Boston subway and metropolitan sewer. A business setback (“all hell’s broke loose at the plant”) sent the family into poverty, he lost his house in Somerville. Went to WY to recoup. Children with first wife: William Willard Bryne, b. 1887 Cambridge, MA




John Francis Bryne, b. 1888 Somerville, MA Andrew Vincent Bryne, b. 1889 Somerville, MA Anne Louise Bryne, b. 1890 MA Mary Caroline Bryne, b. 1892 Somerville, MA Andrew Montgomery Bryne, b. 1894 West Medford,

In 1900 lived in Carbon County, WY with wife Rose and son Thomas. Married 3 years, 1 child born, 1 living; worked quartz mines. In 1910 lived in Boston, MA at 165 Massachusetts Avenue with wife Rose; they had been married 11 years with 2 children, 1 living; general contractor. In 1920 lived in Hartford, CT with son Thomas L.; both general contractors. In 1924 was a city officer of Hartford, CT. In 1930 lived in Hartford, CT on Linnmore Street with wife Clara, sister-in-law Hellen A. COE, age 40, and maid; road contractor. Parker family lived next door. Died of kidney failure. His obituary in the Hartford Courant of 6-4-1933: Andrew W. Bryne, Republican chairman of the Eighth Ward, chairman of the Board of Relief, and long a prominent Hartford contractor, died at his home, 79 Linnmore Street, Saturday morning, He was 71. Mr. Bryne survived by only three days his wife, Mrs. Clara Coe Bryne, who died last Wednesday and whose funeral was




held Saturday afternoon. Mr. Bryne was born in Truro, Mass. on Cape Cod, a descendant of the Leete family that had settled in New Haven in 1632. In his youth he followed the sea, but at the age of 21 he went to Boston and found work with a contractor. Four years later he went into business for himself. He specialized in heavy construction work, and was president of A. W. Bryne & Son, Inc., a son, Thomas L., being associated with him in business.

Worked for Government Mr. Bryne’s business interest took him to all parts of the country. He did contract work for the government at Fort Russell, in Cheyenne, Wyo., and also work for the city of Cheyenne. He left Cheyenne to take charge of a construction job in New Orleans, but in 1899 returned to Wyoming where he prospected for copper. Among his large contracts were those of the Metropolitan Sewer and Water System in Massachusetts, and the Passaic Valley System in New Jersey, both of which cost in the millions. He also handled numerous contracts in New York and other states, and for numerous state institutions in Connecticut. He was regarded as an authority on explosives, and his advice was frequently sought on blasting and the use of dynamite. Mr. Bryne came to Hartford in 1907 and immediately began to take an active interest in civic and political affairs. Long active in Republican circles in the Eighth Ward, he played a prominent part in the many battles which gave the district its name of “The Fighting Eighth.”

Common Council Member He served as a member of the Common Council of this ward, being elected in 1924 and serving a term of two years, during which time he was a member of several important committees. In 1926 he was elected ward chairman, succeeding the late Coe E. Hawkins, a position




he held until his death. In May, 1929, he was appointed by the Common Council as member of the Board of Relief for a two years term beginning June 1, 1920 and was reappointed in 1931 and again this year. At the time of his death he was chairman of the board, beginning his third term on June 1. An active member of the Eighth Ward Republican Club, he held many offices in that organization. Last year he was a Republican candidate for the State Senate in the First District and conducted an active campaign. He was a member of the City Club, Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims, the Rotary Club Hartford Lodge of Elks, Get-Together Club, Hartford Chamber of Commerce, Hartford Automobile Club and Men’s Club of the South Park Methodist Church.

1.6 -1 Annie Elizabeth BARRETT b. 8-12-1858 Ireland m. 6-4-1885 Andrew Willis BRYNE in Somerville, MA age 27

div. ? d. 3-30-1925 NYC, NY

America. The Cecelia BARRETT (1852–1905) who was the mother of Daniel Aloysius Dorey who married Estella Dora Bryne is believed to be Annie Barrett’s aunt; Cecelia (Barrett) Dorey’s parents were William Barrett and Annie Flaherty. This relationship has yet to be verified. Immigrated in 1870. I could not find her in the 1880 census. At that time there were 1,890 Barretts in MA, 440 born in Ireland. Lived in Somerville at the time of her marriage. A Catholic, was married in an Episcopal Church. The civil record gives her marriage date as 6-4-1885, her family bible as 6-6-1885. In 1892 lived in Somerville, MA at 27 Thurston with Edwin H. Barrett. In 1900 lived in Medford, MA at 26 Vernon Street as married woman (married 15 years) with children William W., John F., Annie L., Mary C., Andrew M. Had 6 children, 5 living [the dead child would have been Andrew Vincent]. In 1910 lived in Somerville, MA at 84 Wheatland Street with her children, a widow. In 1920 lived in Manhattan, NY on West 80th St., a widow, with daughter Anna. This was the Hotel Orleans. Did not believe or acknowledge that she was divorced. Died in the Orleans Hotel run by her daughter Anne Louise Bryne. Died of cancer. Anne Louise Bryne told Barbara (Robbins) Thorn that her mother’s father was one of the Barretts of Wimpole Street. John, a barrister, went to Ireland, married, had a family, and moved to the US. This story is contradicted by the




facts that the Barretts of Wimpole Street (whose daughter Elizabeth married Robert Browning) did not have a son named John nor one who became a barrister.




1.6 -2 Rose D. MULLINS (Roseanne J. D. Mullins) (Roseanne Julia Dore Mullins)

b. 11-14-1871 Chelsea, MA m. 4-9-1906 Andrew Willis BRYNE in Chicago, IL d. 1914

Son Thomas Lachlyn Bryne believed his mother to be related to Julia T. (Dorey) MULLINS, I proved this conclusively in 2016. He also said her father was a French cavalry officer. I verified the calvalry bit: Mansfield enlisted in the Massachusetts 3rd Calvalry on 11-16-1861; he was discharged with a disability (fractured right knee) on 9-16-1862 in New Orleans, LA. He served during the Civil War. 4-9-2016 discovered: Father: Alfred J. MULLINS who also used two other names: Mansfield A. Moullins and Mansfield A. Mouline. (It seems likely his middle name was Alfred.) Born Montreal, Quebec 7-12-1839. Died 2-10-1905 Gloucester, MA age 61. Mother: Julia Tryphina DOREY. Born 12-28-1838 Guysborough Intervale, Nova Scotia. Death unknown. Thus Andrew and Rose were first cousins. There is a family story that she attended school in CA, in particular Mills College in Oakland, CA on 1-12-1888 and that Asa HAMILTON, married to Eunice Lucretia Louisa Jane DOREY, paid her tuition. Leander Dorey was unable to confirm the attendance with the college. Her marriage license said she was age 32 of Boston, MA. She was married by a Justice of the Peace. In 1900 lived in Carbon County, WY with husband Andrew and son Thomas. She was born 11-1872 in MA to parents born MA. Andrew’s record said both his parents were born MA, which was in error since mother was born Canada. In 1910 lived in Boston, MA with husband, 2 children born, 1 living. She was age 37 born MA to parents born Canada. Andrew’s record correctly named the birth location of his parents. A horsewoman, she never recovered from a fall. She drowned herself. There is a dress of hers in a museum in Cheyenne, WY. Children: Thomas Lachlyn Bryne, b. 1900 Grand Encompment,




1.6 -3 Clara M. COE b. 4-28-1866 CT m. abt. 1922 Andrew Willis BRYNE d. 5-31-1933 Hartford, CT (3 days before husband) bur. West Cemetery, Meriden, CT

Her obituary in the Hartford Courant of 6-4-1933: The funeral of Mrs. Bryne was held at her late home, 79 Linnmore Street, Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Rev. Dr. Rockwell Harmon Potter, dean of Hartford Theological Seminary, officiated, assisted by the Rev. Roy J. Schramm, pastor of the Broadway Community Church. There were many floral trubutes from personal friends and organizations, and two organizations were represented by delegations at the funeral.

b. 11-28-1890 MA d. 3-28-1981 Silver Spring, MD

She was nicknamed Dolly as an infant by brother William, the name persisted throughout her life. In 1910 lived in Somerville, MA with mother and siblings; stenographer in jewelry store. In 1920 lived in Manhattan with mother; hotel manager. This was the Orleans Hotel at 100 West 80th Street at the corner of Columbus Avenue. It was built in 1898–1900 in the newly fashionable form of an apartment-hotel. It is the second oldest surviving tall building (10 stories) on the west side of Manhattan after the Dakota completed in 1884. The building is currently The Orleans, www.theorleansny.com . In 1930 lived in Manhattan on West 80th St. by herself, single; office secretary. In 1970 lived in Silver Spring, MD.

Olvier Kendall Pierce ROBBINS ? m. 4-15-1914 Mary Caroline BRYNE in Providence, RI div. d.

Mother: Clara M. PIERCE, b. 8-17-1859 Groton, MA, m. 5-13-1878 in Littleton. There is a question about his middle name: (a) The MA Archives indexed his birth record as Oliver Pierce Robbins, born Fitchburg to Edward F. Robbins and Clara M. Pierce. (b) The MA Archives indexed his marriage record as Oliver Kendall Robbins, age 24, born Fitchburg, parents Edward F. Robbins and Clara Pierce, occupation chauffeur. I’m inclined to think his full name was Oliver Kendall Pierce Robbins. In 1900 he lived in Fitchburg, MA at 111 Myrtle Avenue with parental family. Sibling: Grace A. Robbins b. 12-1878 MA; father was grocery clerk. His name cited as Oliver P. Robbins, born 1-1890. I could not find Oliver in the 1910 census. In 1914 at time of marriage he was 24 and lived in Somerville at 38 Wisconsin Avenue; a chaffeur. In 1917, per draft card, lived in Elmhurst, NY at 234 25th Street with wife; a salesman for American Chicle in NYC (his brother-in-law Andrew Montgomery Bryne also worked there). Service started 12-6-1917 NYC. At the beginning of WW I he attended Officer’s Training School in Plattsburg, NY and became a pilot. He fought in France and went to Mexico with General Pershing. In 1920 he lived in Kelly Field, Bexar, Texas as a Captain in the US Army; married. In 1918 and 1921 he was Second Lieut. In Air Service, National Army, reported to Chanute Field, Rantoul, IL.. I could not find Oliver in the 1930 census. In 1935 a man of this name lived Montgomery, AL. He died 12-15-1940 and is buried in Arlington National




Cemetery. In 1940 a man of this name lived in Champaign, IL with wife Franke B., he was a Major in the Army.

1.6.5 -2 William Paget HEDGES b. 4-11-1895 Streatham, London, England m1. 1919 Florence Marion T. BOND in London ?? m2. 10-15-1927 Mary Caroline BRYNE in NYC, NY d. 8-1-1952 NYC, NY

Father: Alfred Paget HEDGES (1867–1929). His father: William Hedges (1836–1913), his parents were Henry Andrew Hedges and Honora PAGET His mother: Charlotte Emma SADLER (1838–1931). Mother: Florence HICKS (1870–1914). Siblings: Alfred Donald Hedges b. 1896. He arrived NY on 11-

9-1922. Arrived 11-2-1919 on the Caronia age 25, lived Tonbridge, Kent. Traveled with father. His father was a director, William was secretary. William’s grandfather William Hedges was a co-founder of Benson and Hedges Tobacco Co. in 1873. Alfred succeeded his father in 1885.

Children with second wife, Gladys Shaw: Judith Anne Bryne, b. 1924, died 1928 Shirley Patricia Bryne b. 1927 Yvonne Andre Bryne, b. 1928 Trois Rivieres, Canada In 1910 lived in Somerville, MA with mother and siblings; worked in cracker factory. In 1917 lived in NYC, NY at Orleans Hotel, 100 West 80th Street; sales manager for American Chicle, 19 West 44th Street, NYC; married. The Orleans Hotel was managed by his sister Anne Louise. Could not find in 1920 and 1930 census. At death his occupation was supervising engineer, Pacific Telegraph & Telephone Co. A family friend thought he may have been imprisoned at Rikers Island, NY (New York City Dept. of Corrections) for income tax evasion. He and Marjorie raised show dogs; grandson Mitch McCarroll remembers two scotties. In 1947 he lived in Berkeley, CA. In early 1948 he was attacked and robbed of his wallet; his assailants stomped on him, rupturing his spleen. The spleen was removed surgically at the Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, he was nursed “around the clock” by his cousin Barbara Bryne Duncan for the next month. Later, at home, Andy fell in his bath and hit his head, which caused a blood clot. He died within a week. Lived at 30 Valley View Drive, Orinda, CA at time of death.

1.6.6 -2 Gladys Virginia SHAW b. 9-1894 Cincinnati, OH m. 12-1922 Andrew Montgomery BRYNE in NYC div. about 1950s in NY d.

Parents: Samuel and Elizabeth SHAW. She is believed to have married in 1919, but Annie (Barrett) Bryne’s fmaily bible stated 12-1922. Looking for Gladys in 1920, a 26-year old Gladys Shaw lived in Jacksonville, IL with husband A. W. and son Joseph (9/12 born Canada). She was born OH to parents born OH, husband born IL to mother born Canada. Interesting Canada connection. This was likely her first marriage. In 1930 she lived in Manhattan, NY at 138 West 77th Street married with two daughters Yvonne and Shirley; painting artist; married at age 20. Her husband was not present. [I first learned about Gladys in July 2009 when I was contacted by two of her descendants. According to the 1930 census she first married in 1914, it seems she must have had a marriage prior to Andrew. This suggests that Shaw was not her maiden name.]

In 1870 lived in Truro with parental family. In 1880 lived in Truro with parental family. In 1920 lived in Wellfleet, MA with sister Estella DOREY and her children Ruth, Daniel, Leander, Marian, and Estella; he was divorced per census. In 1950 lived in Cathedral City, CA at 911 Second Street. Died of lung cancer (“bronchogenic carcinoma’) of 1.5 years; had previously as a pedestrian been struck by a car. Cremated in Pomona, CA. I have several letters from a couple (Joseph G. and Blanche F. Brown) who were friends looking for a family member to pay the medical bills. He was a mine construction contractor. In MA had been a sea captain (mariner) and fisherman. I noted the following story about him in 1979 based on accounts of John Bryne, Marion Carlson, and David Dorey: Thomas was a sea captain from age 14 on. He was a very good sailor but a hard man. He raced another ship to Africa and won. He could sail the Atlantic coast by the seat of his pants, without charts or technological devices. His crews deserted him in port—once was enough. He shanghaied (kidnapped) Daniel Dorey (my uncle) for three years upon learning Dan had joined the revenuers (Coast Guard) and kept him sailing non-stop without pay. Bryne sailed a circular route: Boston, Cuba, Africa. He dealt in cotton and slaves [I doubt this bit about slavery as it was done then], among other things. He ended up with the Matson Lines in San Francisco. None of these stories have been corroborated.

Lived in Winchester, MA most of life. Owned over 100 acres and a “camp” near Wellfleet, MA. The Cape Cod National Seashore took much of the land. George sold the rest to a dentist named Alfie who had previously rented it. The camp was a small cabin where he entertained customers and politicians. The cabin had a wine cellar under a trap door in the floor. Owned a marine construction business. In 1951, at age 83, he raised the motorship Arizona Sword which on 5-7-1951 had collided with another ship in the Cape Cod Canal and sunk near the canal entrance, it was featured on the cover of Life magazine of June 16, 1952 (the article was titled “Octogenarian's Jackpot”), the issue is on Google Books; the owners and the insurance companies carrying the insurance on the vessel and cargo abandoned the motorship and cargo as a total loss. The Army Engineers concluded the sunken wreck constituted a menace to navigation and solicited bids to dismantle and remove it. George won the bid and contracted on 7-6-1951; he was paid $227,000 and given title to the ship and its contents. It took him to June 1952 to raise the ship, during which he spent much more than he had been paid. He worked with his sons on the project; George, 41, handled the paper work and planning while John, 34, was the project supervisor. He removed about 4,000 pounds of sulphur which he then tried to sell. (One account said he removed all 48,000 pounds by midsummer 1951. Other accounts give the quantity as 4,800 tons and 28,000 tons.) On 9-28-1951 he contracted to sell it for $60/ton and delivered about 618 tons under the contract. There began a legal dispute about whether or not the sulphur was under a price control under the Defense Production Act of 1950, George was sued by the US government. In 1955 the case




continued. George won the principle (that he owned the salvage), but lost $1 million. He then sold the boat back to its builder. (In 1961 the boat, owned by Texas Bulk Sulphur Company, sank off the coast of Palm Beach, Florida with a full cargo of sulphur, seven hands were lost, the cook escaped.) There is an article with photos on the Arizona Sword’s 1951 sinking from the National Archives at Boston on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.445820848784023.105923.126634757369302&type=3 There is a family story that he was involved in building the Cape Cod Canal walls and Boston’s Callahan Tunnel (opened November 11, 1961, the Sumner Tunnel had opened in 1934), but it is not yet substantiated. He built the Grand Island Bridge in Barnstable. Regarding the Callahan Tunnell, the Perini Corporation held the contract, Irving R. Huie led the construction. Perhaps George was a subcontractor. Deaf. Children: George Herrick Bryne, b. 1911 Stoneham, MA John Dewart Bryne, b. 1917 Winchester, MA In 1890 lived in Boston, MA; clerk. In 1905 he had an office in Boston at 7 Water room 408. In 1910 lived at 5 Woodside Road, Winchester, MA with wife Blanche and servant; foundation contractor. In 1920 lived at 9 Pine Street, Winchester, MA with wife and two sons; engineering contractor. Died of infection after gall bladder removal.
