YEAR OF EMIGRATION
Family oral history says he died before Ellen, John Jr. and Patrick left for America but they all planned on going together but he died before that happened. Unsure if this is true as Ellen remarried in 1850 shortly after leaving Ireland. Unsure of when they arrived in America — cannot find records for Ellen, John Jr. or Patrick.
ANY OTHER DETAILS
Ellen
Ellen remarried 19 May 1850 to Robert Goggin Sr. (b. Ireland 1815 – d. 1877 McHenry Co., Illinois, USA) She moved to Minnesota after Robert Sr. died. Ellen’s parents names are possibly James Callahan 1792-1877 and Julia Clifford 1795-1883 but not certain at all.
Robert Goggin Sr.
Robert Sr. had a brother named Edward from Castlegregory married to Elizabeth McCarthy who was the daughter of Callahan/Callaghan McCarthy and Ann Moore. Elizabeth was from Chapeltown. Robert Sr. and Edward may have had a sister named Mary.
John Jr.
John Jr. married Margaret Barry 17 Jan 1857 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Woodstock, Illinois, USA. Their first son was named Daniel, second was John and third was Patrick.
1850 census said he was 15 years old living with his mother and brother and Robert Goggin Sr. John Jr. death certificate states his father’s name as John McGillicuddy.
Patrick
Patrick married Ellen Coakley 15 May 1866 in Woodstock, Illinois USA. Unsure whether or not John or Daniel was born first/second and third was David.
