My g-g-g grandfather Peter Cavanagh (born 1786) was from Meathe, parish of Horeston. He
came to Canada with the British army (100th foot, later renamed to 99th foot) to fight in
the war of 1812 between Canada and the US.
I don't know of anyone so far that has been able to find parents for my Peter in
Ireland.
Could be that your John may be from the same family as my Peter but a later relative?
Peter did not likely have any children in Ireland before coming to Canada. He had 12 years
of service on his military record when he retired in 1818.
