McCabes

CavanKilmore (Cavan)

Patrick McCabe ane wife Elizabeth lived in Lisnahederna, a townland, close to Mullagh.  Elizabeth died in about 1904.  Patrick much earlier.  Luke Vincent and Michael James emigrated to Philadelphia where they were ordained priests.  Margaret and Mary likewise...however as single women housekeeping for their brothers. My own grandfather John Benedict emigrated in about 1880.

The only remaining was Patrick, son of Patrick, who married a woman named May; he kept the homestead with his wife and mother Elizabeth..Bessy.The home still stands in Lisnahederna.

Hi,  

Yes Luke & Michael were ordained in Overbrook, for Philadelphia.  I have just googled Overbrook, see this link https://www.scs.edu, next year the campus is celebrating 150 years, so I am unsure if it is the same place, but you could contact them.  Luke was ordained 1869 & Michael in 1892, their mother was Elizabeth Carolan.

Regards Carmel O'allaghan

My grandmother is Kay (Kathleen McCabe), sister of Sue (Suzanne) Hagen who reached out to you—so Sue is my great aunt. My great grandpa was raised by the two priests in Balacynwyd Philadelphia because his father died young working in Montana in the Copper industry (John Benedict McCabe). I am surprised and delighted to hear that the original house is still around. I wonder if anyone has seen it? I have more info about the folks who emigrated, lots of stories about those McCabes, we’ve been in Minneapolis for a while now. I am the second-youngest generation (I am 34), and have a few nephews.

Hi Cedar, I hope that the original poster sees this. When you mentioned the copper mines in Montana, in case you were not aware, there was a Cavan link with the copper mines, you can read about Marcus Daly, whose family were from Ballyjamesduff here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Daly Best wishes Carmel
