Denis Cashman was most likely born in the late 1700's. He married Johanna Herlighy
before 1817. They had at least eight children together, seven of which have baptismal
records in the Register of Donaghmore Parish, Cork, Ireland. Those seven children were:
John, born 5 January 1817 (sponsors Cornelius Herlighy and Julia McCarthy); Denis, born 1
March 1821 (sponsors Corneilus Hanigan and Mary Reardon); Mary, born 4 April 1823
(sponsors Michael Herlighy and Julia Shea); Cornelius, born 20 April 1828 (sponsors John
Cashman and Johanna Kellher); Timothy Cashman, born 23 November 1830 (sponsors Johanna
Connor and John Connor) died 6 July 1857 in South Scituate MA; and John Cashman, b. 30
August 1833 (sponsors John Cashman and Mary Cashman). A baptismal record for their son
James Cashman has not been found but James's naturalization records state he was born
in North Pluckanes, Donaghmore, Cork, Ireland on 2 Feb 1820 and his death record states
his parents as Denis Cashman and Han!
nah.
The Tithe Applotment Book for Donaghmore Parish in the Diocese of Cloyne, lists John and
Denis Cashman renting 56.5 acres in Pluckanes townland from a Thomas G. French Esquire in
1826.
A surviving Griffith's Valuation Perambulation notebook from early 1850 shows Denis
Cashman leasing four lots (totalling over 47 acres) from Henry Wise, Esq., in Bunkilla,
Co. Cork, Ireland. In July 1850, Denis and all the other tenants in Bunkilla were
summarily evicted by said landlord.
I would like to know what happened to Denis and Johanna after they were evicted. I
already know that two of their sons, James and Timothy, immigrated to Hanover,
Massachusetts, USA, in 1850 and 1853 respectively. I would also like to know what
happened to their other children: Denis, Cornelius, John and Mary. Have any of you been
able to trace your line back to this family? If so, please contact me! I am very eager to
share information.
