David, We're not sure when my husband's ancestors came over from Ireland. The
farthest I have gone is Joseph Carrigan born abt 1770 in NC. He married Mary Moore abt
1790. They moved to Cumberland County KY and one of their children was Shadrack Carrigan
(later Kirgan then back to Carrigan after the Civil War). His son Joseph Mc Donald
Carrigan b. 1838 Burkesville KY was a son. He would be my husband's gg grandfather.
He later moved to Hammond IN. You may want to contact Jean Echols-
jjechols(a)STI.net She has done a lot of research on the Carrigan/Kirgan name. I'm not
sure if she has carried it farther than Joseph. There may be a connection. Hope this is
helpful. I believe our Carrigans came from County Cork. Marilyn Carrigan
