Meaghers/Callaghans/Mitchells/Dornans of NY & Waterbury, CTUpdated January 3, 2007 | |
| I originally got into family genealogy searching for information on my father's paternal line, the Dornans of Ireland.The three sons each emigrated to New York in different years: 1886,1891, and 1897.I have not yet been able to find out where the Dornans were born.William Dornan married Mary Browne, who is from Killmallock, County Limerick, Ireland. Mary's family was also made up of Malones and Lynches from the same area. My mother's family all hail from Ireland as well.Ann Griffin emigrated from Prior, County Kerry in 1844. She met and married Thomas Callaghan in New York where all of their children were born. I don't know exactly when the Callaghans(Callahans) arrived in the US, nor where in Ireland they were from. The birthplace and arrival of the Meaghers (Mahers) is also still a question to be solved.The final Irish branch is the Mitchells, who emigrated from County Clare in 1851 during the Irish Potato Famine. They came through New York and continued on to Waterbury, CT, where they worked in factories involved in the great brass industry of that area. James Mitchell and Margaret Sullivan later moved their family to New York City. If anyone has further information, particularly on the Dornans, Meaghers, or Callaghans, I would be grateful for any assistance. | |
