Connaughton
SligoKilmactranny (Sligo)
My wife's great-great grandmother, Catherine Connaughton, was born in Annaghgowan, Parish of Kilmactranny, County Sligo in March 1851. She came to the US in about 1864-65, married John William Brislin in 1869, and died in Rutland, Vermont on 02 Apr 1914. According to her daughter, Highwood is the name of the place where the church was located. Her father's name was Patrick Connaughton and her mother was Bridget Conlin, who was the daughter of Owen and Sallie Conlin. She said that Father Dominick Noon (?) was the priest when she came to America. Any additional information on the Connaughton or Conlin families would be greatly appreciated.
