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.

Johannah married Denis CALLAGHAN, Sr about 1806. Denis (son of Cornelius CALLAGHAN and Ann TAVERNER) was born in 1777 in Ovens, Cork, Ireland; died on 8 Oct 1852 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario; was buried on 10 Oct 1852 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He likely emigrated to Canada with his parents, in about 1840.
All three of the original Callaghan brothers named their first-born sons Cornelius, strongly suggesting that this may have been their father's name.
In order to distinguish one from the other, they were assigned their father's name as their own middle name.
Cornelius seems to have always lived with his family, first with his parents, then with various siblings, working as a farm labourer.
He died at the age of 75 years, at home at concession 5, Lot 36 of Kidney disease.

Notes:

Mortimer Callaghan also known as Murtmer/Murth/Murty/Murtagh.
Several land record documents record it as 'Murtagh' and as this is the original Irish form,

With a number of small children to raise, the widowed Murt badly needed a woman in the house.
His second wife was already a widow when he married her.

He purchased 50 acres of land at the W Half Con 5 Lot 36 on Dec 14, 1856 - land which was later deeded to his son Denis under the terms of his will, on 09 Jul 1884.
Murt died of Dropsy (swelling, affecting the heart)


Died:
Buried in Holy Name of Mary Cemetery in Marysville

Murtagh married Hanorah RYAN on 13 Feb 1844 in St Michaels RC Church, Belleville, Ontario. Hanorah was born in 1820 in County Tipperary, Ireland; died on 16 Feb 1859 in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario; was buried in Marysville, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario.

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.
