I suspect his parents are Dennis Cahill and Mary Marple. Dennis Cahill was born in NJ; I
also know that Mary Marple was born in PA. George J had two full brothers listed below.
Cahill; David; b: 01/10/1905
Cahill; Daniel; b: 07/21/1904
Both were born in Montgomery Cty, PA. The town, at that time, was known as Weldon, PA. He
also had five half siblings with the last name of Meehan. George's mother, Mary V
Marple (b: May 1869) had three siblings as-of the 7-21-1870 census. The are listed below.
Mary Ann Marple b: circa 1860 or 1859
Robert Marple b: circa 1865 or 1866

Appearently, "Daniel" and "Dennis" were interchangebly used names in
the early 20th Century. If this is the case and Dennis was indeed born in Trenton NJ, his
father may also have been called Daniel. If this too is true, A Daniel Cahill lived on 719
Princeton Ave in Trenton NJ on 6/1/1900 (according to the 1900 Census) with his wife
Margaret Cahill, daughters Mary, Margaret, and Ellen, plus his son James. The 1870 and
1880 Census records also indicate Daniel Cahill (Alleged father of George Cahill) of
Princeton Ave, Trenton, NJ had three older brothers: Joseph Cahill, Patrick Cahil and
Edward Cahill (in addition to his other siblings Mary, Margaret, Ellen, and James). Joseph
Cahill was 9 yrs old on July 9th, 1870. Patrick Cahill was 7 yrs old on July 9th, 1870.
Edward Cahill was 16 yrs old on June 1st, 1880.
