Her husband Kieran Curley appeared not to have moved with her to America in 1847. Two of her sons (Michael and Thomas) moved to Salem, Mass. where they operated a cigar factory and tobbaconist shop. Her other son Daniel stayed in Roxbury eventually working as an engineer for the Boston Elevated Railroad.
I have assigned her gravelot to Section 1, Range 36, Grave 12. She was buried before the Cemetery Office fire (6 Jun 1876) that destroyed many of the early records of this cemetery. However, her Grandson, Joseph Curley (d 1963) chose to be buried in this very early, old section of the Cemetery. By the time Joseph Curley passed, this section of the cemetery was long filled up and closed to new lot purchases. So, it is a reasonable assumption that he was able to be buried here knowing his grandmother was here, and had paperwork.
The opposite side of this headstone is engraved with Crowley's. There are other Crowleys in Boston in the 1900s from Ireland that are intermarried with both O'Briens and other Curleys. This is very likely a deeper family connection for others related to these people to dig in and figure out.
