According to the oral history passed down through my family. Honora (known as Anna ) Egan
(b. 1822 d. bef. 1860) came to the US from Ireland with her husband Patrick Kelly b1813
d.1889, and her sister Mary Egan in the 1840s. I don't know anything about another
sister Bridget Egan.
Again according to oral family history Mary Egan married John Mathias Behe, however I now
believe my family got that wrong and Mary Egan married Patrick Carney. It was I believe
Mary's daughter Bedelia Carney that married John Behe.
Honora Egan and Patrick Kelly had five children Catherine (my great grandmother ) b1846
d1897 ; John b.1848 d. bef 1899; Peter b. 1849 d 1899; Bridget b.1851 d.1901; and Bernard
b. ca1854 d.?.
I remember when I was a child in the 1950s Mary Behe b.1888 d.1963, Bedelia's
daughter, visited my family in California. If you wish I could attach a file of the
decendents of Honora Egan.
