Mary A Geharty

Gender
Female
Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA

Mary A. Geharty was born in Baslick, County Roscommon, in the early 1800's (about 1808).  She married Patrick Croghan of Oran, Roscommon, Ireland about 1835.

Patrick is believed to be about 3 years younger than Mary, being born about 1811, 

They had three sons - Peter Paul Croghan, born 8 Nov 1835, County Roscommon; Thomas, born 1836, County Roscommon; and, Michael, born 1838, County Roscommon. 

Mary & Patrick emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, USA between 1842 and 1853.  Their sons also emigrated to Baltimore, but it is not known if they traveled together or separately.  They lived (the sons married) and all died in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.  

Mary's parents MAY be:  Peter Geharty & Bid Murray.

Patrick's parents MAY be: Michael Croghan & Margetta Moran.

Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. William (Bill) Thomas Croghan  -  zdc6802@gmail.com
