| And so begins the History of Michael Cahill of Country Tipperrary, Ireland. Whether due to Religious Emancipation or land confiscated due to British rule; hard times in Ireland forced him to leave his native Ireland to seek his fortune in a new land. He arrived in St.John's, Newfoundland about 1824. It was there that he met a girl Judith Tobin from Point La Haye, St. Mary's Bay. Her Irish roots may have been a factor in the two families knowing of each other in Ireland and been introduced once he arrived in Newfoundland. On May 10 1826 he married Judith at the Basilica of St. John the Baptist in St. John's. Shortly after Michael and Judith made there way to Point La Haye, St. Mary's Bay were as a fisherman and a farmer he began the foundation of the present day Clan of Cahill's. The old homestead of Cahill's still exists today at Point La Haye, St. Mary's; other pockets of this same Michael ancestor are also found in St. John's, Mount Pearl; Torbay, and Chamberlains, Newfoundland; Halifax , Nova Scotia ; Calgary, Alberta Canada; others have settled in Massachusetts and Florida, USA. I have attempted to trace the past and present Cahill's of Tipperrary and Point La Haye though Family History, long days at the Proviencal Archives, the Newfoundland Studies at the Arts and Cultures Library, the Heneritta Harvey for Newfoundland studies at Memorial University and countless hours on the Internet with family members around the world to put together this history of our CAHILL family. As more information becomes available I shall continue to present and update.
