  • Notes 
    • Thomas and his younger brother emigrated to Canada first, followed 10 years later by their nephew Cornelius (eldest son of Denis). Denis emigrated in the mid 1840's.

      Thomas was the second eldest of the original Callaghan brothers and emigrated to Canada in about 1826, along with his brother Daniel and their families.

      Thomas held the original Crown Patent fromthe Canada Company for 100 acres, at Concession2, N 1/2 Lot20, deeded 4 Nov 1842.
      He had been settled on this land at least since his application date of 17 May 1832.

      After the death of her husband, Bridget moved in with the family of her daughter, Mary who married William Drummey.
      Under the terms of his will, dated 28 Jul 1869, Thomas passed the land to his son Daniel T. Callaghan.
      The date of enforcement by the executors of his will, John Shaughnessy and Michael Doyle, was 22 Jun 1871.

      He left the West Half to his wife during her life. Part of the land was willed by Daniel's widow, Mury, to her only surviving child, Mary (Hart).

      Thomas is buried directly adjacent to the graves of three of his children, Bridget, Thomas, and Johanna, as well as the grave of his great-grandson, Edward, son of his
      grandson Thomas and Mary Flaghan.
