Message Board Post:
I am seeking any information on James Cavanagh (Kavanagh) who settled in Smithfield,
Barney's River, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1821. He was born about 1798
possibly in Drumcliffe, Sligo (IGI) to Patrick Kavanagh, a miller (b. 1772) and Mary
Kavanagh (b. 1777). He may have immigrated to Nova Scotia with 2 brothers from Dublin
where he worked as a cabinet maker. He seems to have married twice. First in the Catholic
Church in Halifax in 1826 to Marion Leadbetter and later in 1843 after most of his
children were born, in the Presbyterian Church at Candlish. Most of his children were
Presbyterians but at least one was Roman Catholic.
