Hello Joe Bailey Egan in Montana,
As administrator of the CLAFFEY List, please let me thank you for your
query.
If you have not seen it, we have a web site called "Claffey Home Page"
(CHP) at URL link
http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~camounts/
The first page has a search engine for that site and I see 17 references to
the EGAN surname.
Try reading through those PLUS
my chief helpers on CHP (Jim-Ann Claffee) would be receiving this message as
well.
Perhaps you will be hearing from them as well. They have lots of information
not yet posted on CHP as do I.
The Egan information that I personally have only surmises a Claffey
relationship
but I just know that there is a connection SOMEWHERE.
One of my 2/3 page sections on CHP URL link
http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~camounts/doncem1.htm
is the burial place of my third Great grandparents James and Jane Claffey.
Even if they were not related to the Egans buried there, they CERTAINLY knew
them !
I have conversed with some members of that family and believe one older lady
from that family lived in Montana.
Cannot be sure of that without digging into my old records. I think her
name was Genevieve but am not completely sure.
Her family was from Claysville Pa. Does any of that ring a bell.
Also thanks to Sean O Connell for the input.
Regards, Carol Ann Claffey Mounts
South western Pennsylvania

To Whom it may concern,
I'm very interested in the Claffey's as my Great grand Mother was Margaret Claffey that married Kieran Egan. Kieran (Died 20 Feb, 1900, Blacksmith) My research has found them in Ferbane Ireland. They had 7 children of which the oldest was my Grand father James born 1-2-1869 and Died in New York City 20 Aug. 1909. His parents listed as Kieran Egan and Margaret Claffey. Here is the list of their children.
James born 1-2-1869 Also Blacksmith
Joseph born 7-5-1871
Catherine born 23-2-1873
Bridget born 16-4-1876
William born 25-8-1878
Patrick born 11-1-1881
Daniel born 1-3-1883
I met with some of the Egan's at Ferbane in mid-Sept. 2008 but we can not make a connection to my part of the Egan family. They seemed to disappear from that area. James and Daniel came to USA and I have record of them but none of the others we have been able to locate. During the meeting I met Ann Mollen that took me to Clonmacnoise and showed me the grave of her Grandmother Mary Killian Claffey that we are fairly sure was a sister to my Great Grand Mother Margaret Claffey. The stone has tipped over and is difficult to read. It is very near the large church on the top of the hill and on the river side. Here is what I copied as best that I could.

AGE OF 50 YEARS HIS MOTHER

If you have any information concerning any of this I would certainly appreciate the help or direction on continued research. We are not absolutely sure that Mary and Margaret were sisters but it looks to be that way.
