I am seeking information in regards to Mary McDonnell who married John Hogg. They moved to the United States in 1845, where his name is registered as Hoag.
On her headstone when she died in 1870, in the same plot is Patrick McDonnell, who is believed to be her brother.
Thank you, any information that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
John |

Do you know where your family lived before they emigrated and where they settled in the U. S.? I have Catherine McDonnell (DOB about 1828) who married John McCormick at the Strokestown Roman Catholic Church on January 23, 1845. Witnesses were James McDonnell and Jane Conniff. John and Catherine had seven sons and perhaps more children. The family moved to Bolton, England some time between 1864 and 1871. John McCormick died in 1879. It appears that Catherine and the four surviving sons emigrated to the U. S. between 1881 and 1886. Son Patrick settled in Albany, NY and the others may have gone to the New York City area. _________________ Lynne Sisk |

Hi Lynne.
Mary and Patrick McDonnell finally settled in Susquehanna County,
Pennsylvania. Mary was born about 1821.
It is believed that the Hoggs where renters of large acre of lands in Kilmore and that they had County seats in both Kilmore and Kilglass.
My own Thomas McDonnell married Ann Derwin in the Parish of Kilglass in 1836 and I believe that his parents where James McDonnell and Anne Deffley.
On the website for marriages in Kilglass Parish prior to 1850, it lists other McDonnells", I was wondering if they where all related.
Thanks, John |

I believe I found Catherine McDonnell McCormick in the recently released database on New York State Alms Houses on Ancestry. Her age in 1897 was given as 78, so she would have been born in 1819. She was on Blackwell's Island in New York City. Her son James lived in Manhattan. Two other sons lived in the US and one in England. What is the website listing pre 1850 Kilglass marriages? I would like to look at that. There may be a connection with our families. _________________ Lynne Sisk |
