I am searching for a James Cahill whom is the father of my Great Great Grandfather,
Michael.
I don't have any info on James but he is listed as the father on Michael's death
certificate.
Michael Cahill: Born October 18, 1860
Died: June 23, 1918
Father: James Cahill
Mother: Bridget Reilly (that's what it looks like to all)
Michael married Margaret Daugherty and had a bunch of kids. They came from Ireland or
England, not sure which yet. They arrived in Johnstown, Pa then moved here to Pittsburgh,
PA
in the late 1800's until they passed away, Michael in 1918 and Margaret in 1920.
Would love more info on Michael's family, I have nothing as far as where his parents
came from or if he has any siblings. I am hoping that this is a match to this email I
received.

Hello. My grandmother was a Cahill of Haverstraw, NY (Rockland County). I don't
have much info on her family, but here is what I have found (or been told): Her name is
Eileen Mary Cahill Steinke. Her parents were Mary Agnes (Tamsen) and William Joseph
Cahill (b. 11-10-1878, d. 4-1-1962). His parents (I believe), were Mary (Elizabeth)
Fagan Reilly and James Cahill (b. 7-12-1844). James parents were William and Mary
Fogerty. From what my grandmother says, there were two Cahill families in Haverstraw,
although she doesn't think they were related to each other. I also have information
on William Cahill (William J. Cahill's grandfather) having a brother named John D. (b.
1823, d. 4-6-1901 and married Ann Dillon). They had 8 children (Ann Elizabeth, Ellen,
Mary, Margaret, Joanna, Catherine, William D., and John). If this helps you or you think
you may have more info. on any of them, please let me know. I just found this information
yesterday and need to look into i!
t !
some more! Good luck.
