At this point, it's not sounding familiar. I believe my Cavanaughs to have come in
the late 1860's, but have no proof of that to date (census records from Winifred
Carden Cavanaugh indicate this). I do have a Nealon connection, but none of the others
you noted (Margaret Cavanaugh married Martin Nealon, had many children baptised in Easkey,
County Sligo).
A great many of the Irish seemed to have come from counties Mayo and Sligo to Scranton.
Sorry I can't be more help. If I find anything else, I'll be sure to post.
