Looking for families and descendants of Timothy and Bridget Cahill both born in Ireland
around 1820 they married about 1843, son Timothy Jr. was born 1846. Sometime between then
and 1854, they came to USA, as son William Cahill was born here in 1854. Timothy died in
1861 and Bridget died in 1864, William was living with relatives and Timothy Jr.enlisted
in the Union Army in 1865. We have some army papers with enlistment and discharge, then we
lost him. We think he married Mary Kenney, at some time and they had several children in
the 1880's. Sometime between then and 1900, the children were raised in an orphanage.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone researching the family of Timothy and Bridget Cahill.
thanks heaps, Nola
