Greetings, fellow Cahill's:
I am searching for Cahill's with a Bureau County, Illinois, Iroquois County,
IL or Will County, IL connection, specifically for parents/siblings of my
ggrandfather, James Cahill. I believe that they lived in Bureau County,
Illinois in the 1860's. What I "know" is:
James Cahill was born about 1825 in County Cork(?), Ireland. He married
Mary Hannah WHALEY, probably in IL. By the mid-1870's, they were living in
Iroquois County, IL (Ashkum, Milk's Grove Township). He died there in 1895,
leaving 8 children:
Lydia Elizabeth Cahill b 1874 in Iroquois Co, d aft 1936
Mary Jane Cahill b 1876 in Iroquois Co, IL; d 1936 in Chicago, Cook Co, IL
James Edward Cahill b 1878 in Iroquois Co, IL; d 1907 in Joliet, Will Co, IL
Maurice Timothy Cahill b 1880 in Iroquois Co, IL; d 1956 in Chicago, Cook
Co, IL
William Cahill b 1882 in Iroquois Co, IL; d aft 1936
George Henry Cahill b 1885 Iroquois Co, IL; d 1967 in Alameda Co, CA
Patrick Cahill b 1889 in Iroquois Co, IL; d aft 1936
Charles Ernest Cahill b 1891 in Iroquois Co, IL; d abt 1948 in FL?
James Cahill's younger sister, Julia Cahill, was born about 1838 in Ireland.
She married Dennis O'BRIEN. In 1864, they were living in Providence, Bureau
County, IL. By 1870, the O'Brien's had moved to Iroquois County, IL
Their father's name may have been John Cahill. in 1871, a John Cahill and
his new wife, Hannah MADDEN, bought land in Iroquois County, adjacent to the
land of Dennis and Julia Cahill O'Brien. Is this the father John Cahill and
second wife, or a brother?
The children of John Cahill and Mary Hannah Whaley primarily lived in
Joliet, Will County, IL or Chicago, IL.
