I don't have a James(that we know of) but my great-grandfather was John Cavanagh born
in Scotland in 1852.....may be a relative. John's father was also from Ireland even
though he was born in Scotland...so there is a similarity there. Our history goes that
John and four siblings came to America (New York) when his mother died. John was an
infant. The known names of his siblings are Catherine and Charles....the other 2 males we
don't know. They were raised in New York by the wealthy Bell family (scottish) as the
wife of Charles Bell was the sister of John's deceased mother. I, also , don't
know the given name of John's father.
Just thought there may be a connection there.
