  • 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.
