Born to Thomas Mahony and Ann Moore of Cappanaghcallee townland, Skull parish, County Cork. Siblings included Mary (baptized 21 Feb 1829), Elizabeth (bap 23 Dec 1830), John Thomas (bap 22 Aug 1833), Robert (bap 22 May 1841), William (bap 6 Dec 1843), Hannah (bap 15 Oct 1846), and Ann (bap 2 Dec 1849). Margaret and John emigrated to the United states c.1850 arriving in New York and then making their way to San Francisco c.1860. She married David Wyer Hall c.1860 and had two children, David Wyer John Hall, who died in infancy, and Mary Ann Hall (1861-1938), Following husband David's death in 1875, she married widower Jean Jacques Batsere in 1878 and had a daughter, Sarah Ann Batsere (1880-1960). Her brother John Thomas Mahony, who worked as a carpenter, died in 1901, the same year as her second husband Jean.
I know very little about the rest of the family other than records show that Thomas was still renting land in Cappanaghcallee townland in 1867. Any other information would be greatly appreciated.
