Hi Lynn,
Just a short note to say that I don't see any connection between your
ancestors and my Callaghan connecton (Mother).
I too am stumped to make the connection back to Ireland but our
Callaghan clan is supposed to have emigrated from County Wexford around
1800-1820 to Prince Edward Island, Canada.
I'll keep your email on file just in case I see something that might
help you.
Good luck in your search.
Phil MacDougall

Subject: [CALLAGHAN] Callaghan/Callahan/Calahan - Greenbush, Rensselaer
Co.,NY
I am researching the family of Jeremiah and Jane Calahan. They were the
parents of Charles (1834), Owen (1835), James (1838), Jane (1842) .Some
were born in Ireland, Jane may have been born in Rennselaer Co. and
youngest daughter, Isabella (October 1847) was born in Brooklyn, NY.
Jeremiah was deceased by 1850. Census records are inconsistent. It appears
that the family moved between Brooklyn and Greenbush. They lived in
Brooklyn when the 1850 and 1860 censuses were taken. Most of the family
moved to Greenbush, Rensselaer Co. by 1865 .Son Charles married Catherine
Kirwin of Greenbush and Isabella married John Cahill. I do not have last
names of other spouses. I cannot locate any documents stating the home
county in Ireland. The family assumes it was County Cork.
