From County Roscommon, Ireland. A farmer and a brewer in Lincoln, Mass. He lived on Tower Road on the property owned by the Delehanty family. In fact, his housekeeper was Mary Delehanty. My grandmother, Edith Ruth Craven, remembers going to the farm when she was little and also returning to pick apples in the 1920s.

Son of William Creavan and Katherine Anne Killion, he had a sister, Annie Craven Curley, who lived Roxbury and Hyde Park, as well as cousins (children of Joseph Craven and Katherine Naughton, children of Patrick Galvin and Katherine Craven) who moved to Boston in the 1870s through 1890s.

There are two marriages between the Craven's and Curley's. Patrick's sister married Daniel Curley. In addition, Patrick's daughter, Annie Bridget, married a Daniel Curley's nephew. By about 1910 all the surviving Cravens and Curleys were related thus making a very wide and dense family tree. The farm property went to the Curley's, rather than Patricks own sons, due to earlier financial problems and the family was spread out between Dorchester and Wayland.

Although all official records show Patrick and Delia being buried in Sleepy Hollow, the cemetery records have gaps and we weren't able to find their burial lot. His son, Joseph J. Craven, moved to NYC and owned a Radio Store from the 20s through the 50s on 2nd Avenue.
