I am researching my Cahill roots. My Dennis Cahill was born 1799 in Ireland and died 1872
in LaSalle County Illinois. He had 3 daughters Ellen ( my ggggrandmother) Cahill Hanifin.
Also Elizabeth who married Charles Waldron and Johanna who became Sister Mary Paula with
the Sisters of Mercy about 1875.
In researching I find his estate was handled by James Cahill. In that area there is also a
Daniel Cahill who had at least 2 children baptised at St. Pats LaSalle, Patrick and
Maurice born to Daniel and Mary Flaherty, sponsored by James Cahill and JOhanna Harington.
The LaSalle County Genealogy Guild indicated that they believed that Daniel, Dennis and
James Cahill were brothers but no proof is found of this. I am unaware of what Dennis
Cahill's parents names are. If any of this sounds familiar I would appreciate hearing
from you. Thanks in advance for your help.
