Private John McAuliff is my second great grandfather. He was born in Cork in 1839. He emigrated to Boston, MA on 6/22/1850. He became a US citizen on 9/11/1854. He married Ellen Harris Moriarty on 1/19/1857. When the US Civil War broke out, he was among the first men to enlist, serving as a private in the Massachusetts Infantry on behslf of the Union from 1861-1863.
He died in an accident in Danvers, Massachusetts on 2/12/1871. He is buried in Danvers, MA. Private McAuliff was the son of Lawrence McAuliff and Mary Murphy. Lawrence was born in Cork in 1833 but died in Boston, MA in 1892. I know even less about his mother, Mary Murphy McAuliff except that she was born in Ireland around 1805.
