I am search for information about my great great grandfather John Cashen born in Tipperary
Ireland in 1832. He was the son of John and Ellon (Fitzgerald) Cashen both parents died in
Ireland in 1847. The younger John then age 15 tried to run the tenant farm for 3 years, at
age 18 he and his two sisters Margaret and Ellon came to the USA. He married Ann Egan in
Boonton, New Jersey in 1855, from 1860 to 1863 there where in Peoria, Illinois area had
sons Thomas, John and Danial. In 1864 they were back in the Boonton, New Jersey area had
my great grandfather Richard and Ellon Lucy born in 1868. I have a copy of Boonton, census
from 1870. John and Ann Cashen are both buried in St Augustine Illinois cemetery. Any help
on this family would be greatly appreciated.
