Hi, I got your message. Everything I know about Samuel Carrigan is just stories from my
Dad and Uncle. He was a Dray Wagon driver for the coal mines in Tennessee. I don't
know where. We think he may have came from Ireland with 2 other brothers. Some how were
involved in the Pinkerton Detective Agency killing, during the Coal miners Union Wars. It
was said they knew who did the killing but never told, and they had left for Texas and
took the Secret to thier graves. The story of why they came to the United States was thier
father had killed a British Lt. and he was hung and they were going to hang all the men
and boys in the family as well, they escapped and left for the States. I hope this helps.
