1816 "Hello! I am hoping to find my long lost great-great-great grandfather. His son's name: Michael Conaty. Born about 1816 in Drung Parish; County Cavan (died 6 Feb 1913 and buried in Providence, RI United States). He left Ireland alone? by ship, sometime between 1832 -- 1858 and arrived in the New World (USA). Settled in Lexington Kentucky by 1858 and fathered a son there in 1858 (named him John Michael Conaty). The woman / wife/ mother of his child was: Bridget McEntee born 1826 (died 8 January 1888). Unknown where he entered this country nor which port. Rumor has it that he may have entered through Prince Edward Ireland, Canada. The National Archives ship passenger lists could not locate him on any of the eastern ports: PA, New Orleans, Boston, NY, Baltimore between 1848-1874 HIS PARENTS ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE STAYED BACK IN DRUNG PARISH, IRELAND AND DIED THERE. His father's name was Michael Conaty and his mother, Ellen Conaty (both over in Ireland). His brothers and sisters are unknown, if there were any. I am willing to pay $38.00 for this information: where they are buried, who his father was and names of any other children (siblings of the man at the top of this page). Thank you. Sincerely, Teresa Conaty Tiernan 401-231-9957 Trayz101@aol.com

1819 Birth year of "Cassidy, Patrick Native of the Parish of Drung, Co Cavan, Ire d 29 Apr 1872 53yrs" St Joseph's Bloomfield Cemetery: Many of the people of Bloomfield, Illinois were from the Cavan area. Almost all of the people it seems followed a priest from Cavan a father McGirr. Many more but there stones are not marked.

I am researching the family of George Wilcox and Hannah Ireton. In one reference, I have found that their daughter Martha Wilcox was born 12 Feb 1820 in Drung, County Cavan. She is listed as baptised at Drumnilly (or Drumwilly-spelling a bit unclear), and then also married in the same place 29 Oct 1840. There were also children Elizabeth, Eleanor (b 1825), Grace (b 1832) and possibly Thomas (b ca 1820s). I am looking for any and all information about this family.
