| With the help of my cousins, I am researching the family history of the THOMAS JOSEPH DUNNIGAN family of the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. In June 1862, Thomas(Black Tom)Joseph Dunnigan was born in the village of Curnaseer outside the city of Athlone, County Ross Common, Ireland. His parents were Peter Dunnigan (b.c.1822) and Ann FINNERTY (c.1828-1906). Around 1879, Thomas Joseph, with eight of his siblings. came to the east coast of the United States. Family papers from Thomas Joseph's oldest daughter, Mamie Dunnigan McGoldrick, list these eight brothers and sisters and their eventual 1900s locations: Rose Glennon (SF,CA), Winnie O'Connor (SF,CA), Molly Connolly (SF,CA), Edward Dunnigan (SF,CA), John James (I)(sailor lost at sea on way to Australia), John James (II)(Colfax,WA), Bridget Kelly (Providence,RI)and Ann Dowling (Colfax,RI). We are seeking any additional information available on these Dunnigan ancestors. By late 1880, Thomas Joseph had traveled across the country and arrived in San Francisco. On June 3, 1885, Thomas married Mary QUEENY (5/1865-11/25/1925). Mary was the daughter of John Queeny and Mary LINEHAN, who had emigrated in 1882 to San Francisco from the Parish of Kiltoome, County Ross Common, Ireland. They had eleven known children of whom Peter Francis was my wonderful grandfather and Lawrence Glennon was my charming great-uncle; Mary Mamie (5/1886), stillborn child (1887), Annie (c. 1888), Edward Joseph (3/1890), Thomas Joseph (3/1892), John James (5/ 1893), Peter Francis (11/14/1894- 2/20/1957), baby girl(1896), William Patrick (3/1898), Maragaret Ursula (1900-1933), and Lawrence Glennon (1902-1970). My cousins, Corinne Verili Courtney (one of Peter's granchildren) and Philip John Dunnigan (Lawrence's oldest son) are helping with this grand adventure. Any information on the family would be greatly appreciated and we are willing to share the information that we have. |
