  • Notes 
    • BIRTH:
      - According to oral family history, Michael Dolan's three children were Daniel, John, and Margaret.
      - John M. Dolan named as brother of Margaret Dolan VanReuth in her obituary published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sunday, 5 October 1980, page 11-E.
      - Full date given as 17 December 1905 in "Return of a Birth in the City of Philadelphia" No. 14294 (1905), on file in the Philadelphia City Archives. Copy in the possession of Robert M. Simon. Parents named as Michael and Bridget Dolan, with the mother's maiden name given as Bridget McSwyggan. Place of birth given as 5138 Harlan Street, which is also given as the residence of the parents.
      - Full date also given as 17 December 1905 in baptismal record for "Johannes Maron" Dolan in the church records of St. Gregory RC Church, Philadelphia, available on findmypast.com. Parents named as Michael Dolan and Bridget McSwiggan. Their address was given as 5138 Harlan Street.
      - Year of birth would be 1905-1906, according to age (4 years) in 1910 U.S. Census for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, E.D. 1185, Sheet 10A, Line 4. State of birth given as Pennsylvania. Enumerated as John M. Dolan, with parents Michael and Bridget Dolan.
      - Year of birth would be 1905, according to age (14 years) in 1920 U.S. Census for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, E.D. 1640, Sheet 1A, Line 46. State of birth given as Pennsylvania. Enumerated as John Dolan, with widowed mother Bridget Dolan and two siblings.
      - Year of birth would be 1906-1907, according to age (23 years) given in 1930 U.S. Census for Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, E.D. 51-471, Sheet 16A, Line 15.

      - Full date given as 17 December 1905 in Social Security Death Index (SSDI) entry for John M. Dolan. SSN: 186-09-1441, issued in Pennsylvania. This is the same date as in his birth record in Philadelphia City Archives, and the mention of him formerly living in Clifton Heights in his obituary, which also gives the same death date as his SSDI entry, makes it pretty clear that this is his SSDI record.

      RESEARCH NOTE:
      A John Dolan showed up at the wake for Catherine Baynard Dolan in February 1979, and introduced himself as a cousin of John Joseph Dolan. He had seen her obituary in the paper with the arrangements. We had not previously known of him, and from his approximate age at the time, I have linked him to this individual. He had knowledge of a broader set of Dolan cousins than John J. Dolan ever mentioned. Unfortunately, we did not manage to make contact with him subsequently.
