Hello. This is a wild shot in the dark, but did all of James and Mary's children
remain in MN? The names are all the same as my gg grandfather Michael Cavanaugh who was
born March 27 1830 in IRL and came to the USA around the same time as your family.
Michael married Elizabeth Williams and they settled in Iowa, Coon Rapids area. They had
12 children all with same/similar names of this family. Am curious if you know anything
about your Michael Cavanaugh, son of James and Mary. Michael named his 1st child Mary and
a son, James, a daughter Margaret, Peter, Charles, Edwin etc.
If you think there is a connection, please contact me at dkaypdx(a)comcast.net
