Jeremiah McCarthy traveled with his daughters Catherine 19 (my ancestor), Elinor 17, Abigail 15, Mary 13 and Eliza 10. He was also traveling with a Elizabeth 45 -- we have family tradition that this was Jeremiah's sister, not the children's mother. But we do not know this for sure. They traveled with the Peter Robinson Settlers on the Elizabeth ship in 1825.
Our aim is to connect all people with a link to Abbeymahon (Cork). You may live here, have visited here or maybe are tracing ancestors who left long ago. In any case, we’re sure to have lots to share and are delighted to welcome you.
