Twila,
I was very interested to see Grundy County, IL mentioned in your query on rootsweb.
I have an ancestor, Michael P. Cavanaugh who joined the Civil War from Grundy Co., IL. He
later married Allice McGrath in Mattoon, IL shortly after the war and they lived there all
the rest of their lives. I have quite a bit of information on them and their children.
I have been convinced all along that Michael had siblings when he came to this country but
have not been able to find out anything these past two years that I have been
researching.
I have also found a John Cavanaugh in Obion County, TN who may be one of his siblings.
Does any of this information strike a cord? It would be wonderful if it did.
Warm regards,
Bev Price Dobbins
