Notes:

After his death his two children are believed to have been raised by his sister Johanna (Johnson).
His godparents were Denis Whelan and Anne Callaghan

Arthur married Bridget MARTIN on 14 Apr 1885 in Campbellford, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada. Bridget (daughter of Patrick MARTIN) was born in 1847; died on 12 Mar 1891 in Campbellford, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Thomas died on March 31/1914 - he was a widowed farmer at the time.
The informant for his death was D.F. Callaghan


Thomas likely emigrated to Canada in about 1833, along with his brother Murt.
He owned and farmed 80 acres of land in Tyendinaga at Concession 5, Lot 31.
After his wife Bridget died in 1881, Thomas remained for a time on the family farm in Marysville.
Eventually he moved to be with his sons, who had moved to Campbellford, Ontario to work in the new Rathbun mill there.
In 1891, the widowed Thomas was living with his son Denis and daughter-in-law Eliza in East Percy Township, Northumberland (near Campbellford).
Apparently this arrangement did not suit Thomas, as the 1901 census shows him living back on Concession 5, Lot 31 in Tyendinaga, now as a boarder with the family of Denis
and Abbie Callaghan.
Thomas died at home of pneumonia,on 31 Mar 1914.
The Holy Name of Mary Church records his interment, with the following entry:
"Thomas Callaghan, aged 102. On this second day of April, l9l4,I, the undersigned priest inter Thomas Callaghan, the General, in the presence of
his son, Big Din, Little Din, Denis Callaghan, and a Company of the Lonsdale Fusiliers."

It is sad to note that the Callaghan name died out in this familyline within one generation, and the blood is carried now only through the female lines.

Thomas married Bridget DOYLE on 18 Nov 1840 in St Michaels RC Church, Belleville, Ontario. Bridget (daughter of Arthur DOYLE and Mary LOWNSDALE) was born in 1820 in Kilkenny, Ireland; died on 30 Oct 1881 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario; was buried on 2 Nov 1881 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario.

Notes:

Denis was the oldest of the Callaghan brothers, and was the last to immigrate to Canada.
His younger brothers emigrated in 1826, and his son Murt emigrated in 1833.
But Denis remained in Ireland much longer, either to look after the home farm or perhaps to care for aging parents.
Denis, his wife and the remainder of his family likely came over in about 1840, at the same time that his son Thomas did.
Denis lived with his son Murt. on Con 5 Lot 36.
He was preceeded by his brothers Thomas and Daniel, and by his eldest son Cornelius.

Denis married Johannah CALLAGHAN about 1806. Johannah was born in 1789 in Cork, Ireland; died on 3 Nov 1866 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario; was buried on 6 Nov 1866 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Johanna's maiden name was also "Callaghan," so it is presumed that if she were of a related family, she would have to have been at least separated by the three degrees of
consanguinity then prescribed by Catholic practices.

Arthur married Mary LOWNSDALE. Mary was born in 1780 in Graiguenamanagh, Kilkenny, Ireland; died on 11 Aug 1869 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
