My ggrandfather Charles C. arrived at age 6 in NY City from Liverpool on the ship
"Intelligencer" with 2 brothers, a sister or cousins, all of whom originated
from County LEITRIM. His parents who did not apparently accompany them, were Bernard and
Anne McMahon C. The names of the others in the group:
LAWRENCE C., age 16
DANIEL C., age 12
MARY C., age 4
I only discovered yesterday where in Ireland they had come from. I have complete info on
Charles and his descendants, but have NO info on the others, except that a Lawrence C.
from up around Oswego, NY served in the 174th NY Reg't in the Civil War. Charles grew
up in New Windsor, Orange County, NY and lived there for the remainder of his life until
his accidental death in 1913.
Can anyone here connect back to any of the others? The spelling on the ship's manifest
is CAVANAGH, but Charles spelled it as CAVANAUGH when he was first censused in 1870.
