I have been researching the Cawley line and many of the names and places that you
mentioned are also in my history but I cannot make a connection at this time. My gg
grandfather was Michael Cawley who was born in 1818, left Ireland about 1843, landed in
Canada, crossed to New York where he married Ellen Jackson in 1853 in Rochester, NY. He
lived in NY a little over a year before he moved to Ogle Co., IL. I have found a Patrick
Cawley living in IL in 1860 but I believe he may have returned to Ireland where he raised
his family. Patrick married Mary Barrett in Addergoole Parish, Co. Mayo. I have also
found a Petition for a Letter of Administration for Ogle Co., IL for an Andrew Cawley who
has Dominick, Michael, Patrick, and John listed as brothers.
If anyone can help me with any further information on these Cawleys, I would really
appreciate it.
