Subject: [CAHILL] My line
My Great Great Grandmother, Honora Hanrahan ,married Robert Cahill.
Robert's and Honora's (I believe) first born, was Michael Cahill who married
Mary Fitzgerald, my Great Grandad.. From Orange Co, NY town of Crawford,
Walden PO, they moved, Honora and Robert, and their children
to Osage City, KS (Osage Co) in 1871 (Honora's obit). Dennis, a brother of
Honora's (I believe) who lived in Osage City at this time (census) led me to
the city of Osage to look for traces of their past - those Hanrahans,
Cahills and Fitzgeralds. A sale of land document showed up in Osage City
from Big Eagle Creek, Scott Co, KY.
I see Scott county is near (south )of Pendleton Co,KY,hmmm. Robert and
Honora were farming and
part-time, Robert was coal mining.
On the 1880 census I see the child of Mary and Dennis Hanrahan in the 1880
census Catherine who is 11 years of age living as a niece in Kenton Co,
KY(north of Pendleton) -Catherine Hanrahan is listed as head of the
household. Civil War documents appear to show application for a pension for
Dennis Hanrahan's service.
Mary Fitzgerald sold the property at Big Eagle Creek, KY. All of the
families appeared to farm, mine and in the case of the Hanrahan's work on
the railroad. I know that my Cahill line goes back to Co Kerry, Ireland and
that the father of Honora - another Dennis Hanrahan had a sibling, Ellen
that was born
in the area of Ballybunnion from a death certificate of another researcher
who shows the same set of
Great Great Great Grandparents, Mary English and Dennis Hanrahan.
Honora's obit said she and Robert Cahill got married at Ballinturn, Ireland.
I, nor anyone I've asked, can find this place. Honora Hanrahan Cahill was
born Feb 1835 and Robert J Cahill was born 1822 Ireland.
In order: Michael my great grandfather b 1858/60 Ireland and Dennis James b
1860/61 Ire, then in USA, NY-Cornelius,Ellen, Anna, Catherine, and KS- Osage
City: Robert J, Dennis, Hanora, John Patrick, add a few names b??buriels to
= 13 (mentioned in obit) ,could be: Mary, Margaret,Comelar Edward and/or
John. I recently found the ship documenting Robert, Honora's and Michael
Cahills passage to NY but can't lay my hands on it right now.
Additional places of residence for Cahill clan: Lafayette Co, Lexington MO
1900. Wyandotte Co, KS
Renton Washinton, Seattle, (saw mill, cutting lumber) Topeka, Shawnee Co, KS
and wondered if any of
this what soever might? relate to relatives oral history, paperwork left
behind on your Cahills?
