My cousin and I are researching the Callaghan/Callahan family of Pennsylvania for her
nephews who lost their Callahan father to an accident. The nephews' uncle had been
researching this family but lost interest. Need to caution here - there is another party
who is posting information using my name and an email address very close to mine, however.
So, check the email address closely, if it is not srichards8(a)hotmail.com, it is not from
me. Now, on to the information shared by the uncle:
Vincent Deal Callahan [changed his middle name to Robert, according to his daughter.] b.
09/13/1918 d. 04/02/1995 was the son of Vincent D. Callahan/Callaghan b. 1899 and Ruth
Hugh b. 10/08/1898. Vincent and Ruth had the following children:
Richard, Adrian, Pauline, Edward, Patrick, Ruth, William, Vincent Robert, Betty, Jack,
Marylou, Eugene, Rose.
Vincent D. Callahan/Callghan was the son of Thomas William Callahan/Callaghan b. 1871 and
Bridget Reilly b. 1878. (We have not been able to find this couple in any census records.
We did find a Bridget and William Callahan listed in the census with a son by the name of
Vincent, but we were told by another researcher that that is not the correct family.)
Thomas William Callaghan was the son of Bernard Callaghan and Elizabeth Monaghan.
Please contact us if you are related to these Callahan/Callaghan ancestors. We would love
to share information with you.
