My great grandfather, James Cavanaugh who was born in Ireland, immigrated to
Pennsylvania, USA ca. April 1,1846. I do not know if he was accompanied by
any family members, but according to his petition for naturalization he was
under 18 years old when he arrived in the U.S. He settled in Honesdale, Pa
and married Mary (possible maiden name also Cavanaugh) who was born in
Honesdale. Their first child, Charles, was born in 1857 or 1858 in
Honesdale. I have an obituary for their son Daniel, who died in Honesdale in
1938. In the obituary, a brother, Michael, is listed as living at that time
in Middletown, Orange County, New York. Michael and his family also appear
in Middletown on Grand Ave.in the 1920 and 1930 Federal Census . If anyone
feels they may have a connection to this family I would appreciate hearing
from you. Thanks, Mary P
