I have since gotten my GG Grandfather's Civil War Pension file and found out that he
had these children:
Thomas b. 1873, James b.1875, John b. 1882 and Annie, my G Grandmother b. 1871 in NY.
Peter was married to Fannie Sawyer who emigrated from England in 1870. She was sponsered
by her half-brother, John Smith (b. 1833) who emigrated in 1849. Peter was born bet
1830-1840 in Peekskill NY and had a brother, James b. bet 1833-1843. His mother remarried
to Joseph Monaghan b. abt 1820. They lived in Manhattan. Peter died in 1901 in the Bronx.
His daugher Annie married Matthew O'Brien (b. 1866 in NY) in 1895. Annie O'Brien
died in 1956 in Carmel NY. Her daugher, Ethel Ann was my maternal Grandmother.
I'm looking for info on Thomas Callan. The pension file said he may have lived in
Westchester in 1900, but I cannot find any definitive ties to the information I have.
Any information anyone has on this family would be greatly appreciated!
