Little Oak - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
|
Little Oak is now called Kenilworth Street. Little Oak is perpendicular to Grissel's Alley.
Mathew Ivory lived on Grissel's Alley in 1803 and 1804, and then he next showed up on Little Oak in 1811. There is a gap between 1805 and 1811 where I am not sure where Mathew lived.
He likely married Ann McNulty between this time, as their son, Mathew Ivory (Junior), was born in July 1809 and was baptized at Old St. Joseph's on 26 August 1810 in Philadelphia
Little Oak is likely the street the family lived in 1812 when Mathew (Senior) died.
Little Oak (Kenilworth) today doesn't seem to have that many residences on it. It looks like most of the buildings are some sort of factory or commercial building of some sort.
