Limited Biography of James C. Connolly(1837-1891)-C4

Alright, I have a habit of following rabbit holes when I'm pulling things together.  If I don't feel I have enough information on a person, I tend to keep searching and it keeps me from moving on.  The Canadian Connolly, Eagan, Weatherby and Carver branches of my Putnam side are examples of this.  The information I have is spotty, and I am not completely sure all of it is right.  I need to just post on them so I can move on.  I suspect I will need to get more familiar with Prince Edward Island genealogy before I can really close these mysteries.  If anyone has better information on these lines, I'd love the help.  So I'll start with James Connolly, my Great Great Grandfather.

James C. Connolly was born on December 25th, 1837 to Thomas Connolly and Henretta Affleck In Mount Stewart, Prince Edward, Island Canada.  He married Joanna I. Eagan and had
six children while living in Charlottestown, Prince Edwards Island, Canada.  Their first son, Frederick Patrick Connolly was born on June 4th, 1864.  He was followed by James Connolly in 1866, Henrietta Connolly on June 22nd, 1866, Mary Connolly in 1873, Frank Connolly in 1870, Mary Connolly in 1873,  and John Thomas Connolly in 1875.  Given that all the baptisms occurred in in either St Andrews Church or St. Dunstan's Basillica, it is likely the family were Irish Catholics. James C. Connolly died around 1891.  We have no information on his burial location.
