Message Board Post:
I'm looking for descendents of James Cavanaugh who came to San Fernando, Calif. with
wife Margaret Lally of Kentucky in early 1880s. They had six sons--two of them, John
(Jack) and William James (my grandfather) had children. John or "Jack", the
oldest, was said to have drowned in the ocean off Santa Barbara when his two sons were
young. I am fairly certain both his sons, Benjamin and John are deceased, but I would like
to connect with any of their children to help trace great grandfather James back to
Ireland. James worked for the railroad in Calif and was killed in a railroad accident
around 1897. I believe he worked for So. Pacific RR. Thanks for any help.
