Phelans from Montrath

Laois

Michael Phelan born Montrath September 29, 1831, which is on his tombstone in St. Mary's Cemetery, Kingston, NY. Heimmigrated to Kingston,New York, USA possibly prior to 1850 with siblings Mary Cahill, Catharine Welsh, Margaret Conroy, Alexander, Elizabeth Cunningham and Bridget. Although they may have all come over separately.

I think their parents were Alexander Phelan and Catharine Cavanaugh. I'm still trying to verify that.

Michael married Bridget Doran and had 12 children in Kingston, NY.

Michael is my great-great grandfather. I would be interested in hearing from anyone in the Phelan line.

Col,

Thank you so much for this. I have a messy tree that someone else researched with some obvious wrong turns. I think this will help me clear it up. My apologies for losing track of this. Your work is much appreciated.
