I found the following Obit and am hoping that someone can help me figure out where it fits
in my McCafferty tree?
Is father John McCafferty the son of Benton McCafferty and Martha Brown? I have the
marriage of John McCafferty to Estella Mulholland, 18 Sept. 1901, but have not been able
to connect John to the right set of parents. (I have a John, born to Benton, abt. 1873,
in the 1880 Census and the age frame would be correct but have no other supporting
documentation?) Any help is appreciated!
