The card only has it printed out as J. O'Mahoney with no other information
on him. I also had trouble locating Grainger in the census.

Mike and Bill
There is also in Brooklyn a John O´Mahoney (with the "e") who is not the
Fenian but a founder of an Irish society in Brooklyn. Someone from this
society contacted me concerning the Fenian John O´Mahony and through the
information he gave I was able to inform him that it was not THE John
O´Mahony, HCFB. Below is the information he gave me. Of course that there
are two doesn´t mean it wasn´t the Fenian. The spelling is probably not
significant, as I myself spell it both ways and I know better. One other
thing I find interesting. I can not locate anyone by the name of Charles
Grainger in the Census of NY for 1860 who might be the soldier born in
Ireland. I used both Granger and Grainger. Certainly Grainger would have
been a prize catch for O´Mahony.
