Thanks to a cousin's research, the info I have begins with Edward in
Castleblaney, County Monaghan, and his wife, Mary (maiden name unknown as are
birthdates of either). Edward died by 1855 about when his widow, Mary,
emigrated to NY. They had at least two children in Castleblaney:Mary (DOB
1833, Castleblaney - no further info) and Patrick, who emigrated to Herkimer
County, NY, about 1841 and married Catherine McTavey. (Catherine was
daughter of Edward McTavey and Sarah Root who were in Herkimer County, NY by
1832). Patrick and Catherine had three children: Sarah (DOB 1851 - married
Garrett Farrell and buried in Troy, NY), Patrick (DOB 1855 - married Annie
Logan, is buried in St. Agnes Cemetery in Utica, NY). Have info re their
offspring if anyone is interested, but would love any info or leads re the
family in Monaghan, which we presume was Catholic, as they were in the U.S.
Also interested in hearing from anyone whose McGoughs might have settled in
Herkimer/Utica area of NY.
