Carolyn, I have never been to the cemetery on Ft. Polk where John and
Adeline Cavanaugh are buried in unmarked graves, but I'd love to. If you find out
when that yearly visit is I'd like to know.
I do have a picture of John C. Cavanaugh. I'll attach it. Maybe if some of
the Kentucky folks or Pennsylvania folks have a picture from about the same
era (this LOOKS to me like he was maybe 40 so maybe it was about 1844),
wouldn't it be interesting if there was a noticeable family resemblance. That's
why I'm posting it on the rootsweb list instead of just sending it to you
privately.
I also have a picture of "Aunt Harriet," my grandfather's sister who lived
with them her whole life, but it is not in your direct line. If anyone else
here wants it let me know.
If you are going to be in Baton Rouge long enough for some beignets at
Coffee Call, let me know, even if its on short notice. My phone number is
225/766-1657
Yours,
Michael Cavanaugh
Baton Rouge, Louisiana

It is exciting. I looked at a newer map and found one - Srahataggle! I
suspect
this is a one of those Irish names without a specific translation to English!
My Christmas cards don't come back, so I assume they are getting them.
We will be in LA Easter weekend to go to an old lost Clark cemetery - my
mother's side - near Bayou Chicot, - sort of a mini family reunion with
cousins
some of whom I have never met! I am taking time off from medical
appointments
to do this - can't miss it - but if I can put off the medical stuff for a
while, I am
going to Leesville briefly and to Baton Rouge probably the weekend after
Easter. I
may have to cut the LA visit short and return to VA without seeing anyone
except
Clark cousins! But I am sure we will get back to LA at some point.
My father's house was sold in January and I am about to get to the end of
all the
paper work and business attached to settling his affairs. I am glad to be
done
with it, but sad at the same time.
Do you ever go to the cemeteries with Cavanaughs that are within the
confines of
Fort Polk? I seem to remember that they have a visiting day about once a
year.
Do you have pictures of any of the Cavanaugh ancestors?

Carolyn, I see that two of the townlands listed on the website are
Srahataggle
and
Srahataggle South
My previous spelling was Shrtaggle, and yours was something like that. Do
you think the above spellings are the same place we went?
I still have the addresses of our relatives Michael, John, and Bridgett
Cavanaugh in Shrtaggle, and our Christmas letters get there (and also an
old
address that may still be good for their sister in California).
Maybe I'll
get a
chance to write them, find out if any of them have an e-mail address,
and
MAYBE find out more about John as a little boy from some of those records
on
that website.
Exciting stuff.
