1587 "LITTLE (also Lyttle) These names can be of English, Scottish or Irish origin and are most common in Dublin and in Ulster, especially in counties Antrium and Fermanagh. The name is of course, English by original derivation and was descriptive of the bearer, from old English lyte, meaning "small". In Scotland, Little was the name of one of the lesser of the riding clans of the boarders. Neighbors of the Beatties, they were based in Eskdale and Ewesdale in Dumfriesshire and were recorded as one of the unruly clans of the West march in 1587. Little can also be a varient of Liddell, a territorial name from Liddle in Roxburgshire and indeed the two names were recorded as synonymous in the Poyntzpass district of Co. Armagh towards the end of the nineteenth century. At the same time Little was recorded as a synonym of Beggan in Co. Monaghan. Beggan, Gaelic Ó Beagáin or Ó Beacáin , was a name of a Sept of the Clones- Roslea - Donagh area and most of this Sept anglicised to Little. However, it is clear that a large number of members of the riding clans of the Scottish Borders settled in Fermanagh at the time of the Plantation and settlers called Little were recorded there in the 17th century. It will therefore be difficult without a confirmed family tree, to determine the origins of any individual. Ulster Book of Surnames , Ref. CS 2415, B45, 1988. NEGHS

Some gentlemen of the Mac Mahons of Oriel, with one hundred soldiers, were hired by O'Carroll (Calvagh, the son of William Odhar, son of Ferganainm), in the spring of this year; and at the time that their wages should be given them, O'Carroll with his people went to them by night and slew them p.2139 on their beds, and in their lodging houses. He hanged some of them from the nearest trees. The party of one village, however, made their escape in despite of O'Carroll. http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/T000006/

On leaving this country, O'Neill passed over the upper part of Slieve Bloom westwards, and sent forth three parties in one day to ravage Ely, because of the enmity he bore O'Carroll, Lord of Ely, i.e. Calvagh, the son of William Odhar, son of Ferganainm, and in revenge of the base murder and intolerable massacre which he had committed upon the gentlemen of the Mac Mahons of p.2149 Oriel, whom he had under his protection and in his service, as we have related, in the preceding year. The evil destiny deserved by that wicked deed befel the territory of Ely on this occasion, for all its moveable possessions, wealth, and riches were carried away, and nothing left in it but ashes instead of its corn, and embers in place of its mansions. Great numbers of their men, women, sons, and daughters were left in a dying and expiring state; and some gentlemen of his own tribe and kindred were left in opposition to O'Carroll in the territory. http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/T000006/

1615 ROYAL VISITATION OF CASHEL AND EMLY, 1615
THE state of the Protestant Establishment in Ireland during the reign of James I., was deplorable in the extreme. The clergy -were for the most part unlearned, in several cases not being able to read or write. Writing "on A discovery of the decayed state of the Kingdom of Ireland" in 16O4, Justice Saxey tells us they are " more fit to sacrifice to a calf than to meddle with the religion of God." And that one of them is " a poor singing man void of knowledge of his grammar rules"; another is "utterly unlearned," and there was "not one able preacher in all the province (Munster), nor three sufficient bishops in all the Kingdom." They were "mere idols and ciphers," says Sir John Davies in his letter to Cecil. Naturally in the hands of such men we could not expect to find religion in a prosperous state. In.several places there were no ministers at all, and frequently 'one minister held several benefices, with the result that religious service was seldom held. There is no service," says Sir John Davies, no christening of children, no receiving of the Sacrament, no Christian meeting or assembly, no, not once a year, in a word, no more demonstration of religion than amongst the Tartars or Cannibals." The patron appropriated the profits of the benefice,and a meagre salary was given to the incumbent. The churches themselves were in nearly all cases in ruin,"....... p279, In the same year (1607), the lord Deputy, accompanied by Sir John Davies made a journey through three counties in Ulster_ vis., Monaghan, Fermanagh, and Cavan. Among those reported on "Rectoriae impropriatae.- Ecclesia de Killclonath, Vicaria parcella Prebendae de Kilbragh. Neither church nor Chancell nor curate. Ecclesia de Killbegan."

Along with Theo's Owen in the barony of Cremore, parish of Aughnamullen, there is in the denomination of Shantonagh a Patk. O'Bradigan in 1663.
In the barony of Dartree, parish of Killeeven, denomination of Lisabuck a William O'Bannan in 1663 and in denomination of Racaufield a Hugh O'Bannan in 1665.
The inclusion of Bannan in the above is weak, but at a risk of being redundant, what one planter heard and counted and spelled in one parish may be the same surname heard and spelled differently by another planter in a different parish of Barony. Those two Bannan citations being the only two in the entire county of Monaghan make me note them.
In the 5th Edition of O'Hart's Irish Pedigrees Vol 1 citation 32 "O'Bannan or Bannin chief of Hy-Dechi, a territory situated in the North of Tipperary" So I think the Bannan reference above in the Hearth Money Rolls is a Branagan

1664 "The Gaelic Ulster surname Mac Threinfhir - son of the strong man, or champion - is anglicized Traynor, also spelt Treanor and Trainor, without the Mac, though the prefix is retained in the variant MacCrainor, which is phonetically more correct, since the T is aspirated in the Irish form of the name. While MacCreanor is the form of the name which occurs in the Co. Armagh Hearth Money Rolls of 1664, in the Co. Monaghan rolls of like date it is MacTreanor. Apart from Dublin city, Traynors are chiefly found in the districts between Monaghan, Armagh and Dungannon.

The estate of Coll and Brian Mac Mahon was divided between Edward Carey, Thomas Coote, Peter Beaghan, John Foster, William Smith and others. It was in the Parishes of Monaghan, Clones, and Tedavnet.
Humphry Sherigley (or Shrigley) with Thomas Adkinson and others fucceeded to the property of Rofs oge Mac Mahon of Corfinlagh, in the Parish of Tullycorbet.

During the legal proceedings in connection with the above will, in 1688, he deposed on oath that he had not attached his signature thereto. Henry Cassidy. whose name also appears as a witness, made oath, on his own part to the same effect. The will is very well written, the forgers imitating throughout the beautiful handwriting of Father Biggin.

Because a very large number of different estates and properties, some of them small, and located all over the place, are documented in the archive, an unusually large number of pre-1858 wills crop up as part of the title to some of them. These include: copy will of Francis Annesley of Ballyshonon, Co. Kildare, nephew of Mrs Elizabeth Paul of Ballyraggon, Co. Kildare, 1707; original of the will of the Rev. Benjamin Neale, Archdeacon of Leighlin, 1716; 3 copies of the will of Jeffry Paul of Ballyraggon, Co. Kildare, husband of Elizabeth Paul, 1720; copy will of Francis Neville of Belturbet, Co. Cavan, Collector of the Revenue in the district of Cavan, 1726; copy will and probate of Henry Clarke of Annasamry, Co.

1760 Cont. from; The Rathdonnell Papers (D/4132 AND MIC/632) Most of the material of 'Northern' relevance has been deposited in the original in PRONI (D/4132). This includes two deeds, 1761 and 1764, revealing that Kane's estates in various places were subject to a successful lawsuit by a 'Protestant discoverer' under the Penal Laws, Charles King of Dublin, and were subsequently sold back to Kane by King's successor for a nominal sum. The interpretation of these deeds is unclear: either Kane was a Roman Catholic or - and this is more probable because of the nominal sum - he used the Penal Laws as a vehicle for quickly and cheaply establishing his title. There then follow leases, etc, 1762-1870, 1896, 1898 and 1925-1939, of the lands of Drumsnaught etc, parish of Donaghmoyne, barony of Farney, and parish of Errigle, barony of Trough, Co. Monaghan, first acquired by Redmond Kane in 1760 under a lease from the Bishop of Clogher. http://proni.nics.gov.uk/records/private/rathd.htm

He has holdings of 17 acres, 1 rod and 26 perches. It is the 2nd largest farm in the townland. In Griffith's 30 years later it had shrunk to 13 a, 3 r, 10p but of course there was also a Edward in Griffith's who may have received his start from a piece of Bernard's. That is assuming Bernard is a son of Bryan and of course that , right now, is only conjecture.

1826 "This is the Tithe Applotment List for Aughaloughan, LDS Microfilm #0256597, Donagh Parish, Diocese of Clogher, County Monaghan. A previous question regarded "Denominations." This has to do with land. The four columns for each town/townland are divided into 1) Acreable Rate; 2) Area of Each Farm; 3) Yearly Rectorial Tithe and 4) Yearly Vicarial Tithe. (The print on those is small, even though I put it on "Zoom" on the reader/printer, so if any corrections, please let me know.) The time period is 1826.

1829 The Grand Master tries unsuccessfully to cancel that year's parades but he is ignored. Trouble occurs in Armagh, Bellaghy, Comber, Greyabbey, Glenoe, Portadown and Strabane where 3 people are seriously injured. In Stewartstown one man dies while seven are killed in disturbances in Clones and eight are killed in Enniskillen. In Maghera, Co Derry, several Catholic homes were burnt down prompting the intervention of the military who arrest a number of Orangemen. At their court appearance the men are rescued by a large mob. The magistrate instructs the police not to intervene (Gray, 1972,p.114). http://www.serve.com/pfc/loyal.html

1833 Memorial of "Patrick McGovern - Drumshancorick died 17th March 1893 aged 60 years Son of Francis and Catherine McGovern" Rosslea Tombstones, John Farmer
1833 The Tithe Applotment Book for Aghabog Civil Parish in Co.Monaghan records two James Beggans jointly renting 4 acres of land in Crappagh Townlands. The adjacent 3 acres is rented by Philip Beggan.
The above info comes from Theo McMahon of the Monaghan Ancestry Society. 6 Tully, Monaghan, Ireland, I quote him; "A Patrick Began and a Philip Began are listed as being from "Annabeg" Co. Monaghan in the compilation of records "The Irish Settlers of Prince Edward Island" by Dr Brendan O'Grady of the University of Prince Edward Island, Charlettetown, PEI. dated 1991. It is my opinion that "Annabeg" is a corruption of Aghabog and that your ancestors most likely came from this location."
1834/41 In the 1881 census of Lot 35, PEI, Ann (Trainor) Beagan says she was born in 1834. In the 1891 census she becomes younger as she claims to have been born in 1840. In the 1901 census she becomes even younger and claims now to have been born in 1841. Her grave stone reaches a compromise and says she was born in 1836. All accounts agree she was born in Ireland.

"Close by Drumswords is the Catholic chapel at Ture, a simple but attractive edifice not far from the Mass rock which was still in use by the people of the locality well into the nineteenth century. Turn here towards Rawdeerpark and the remains of a Famine 'porridge house'. Continue to Scarva, and turn right, crossing the River Finn again before returning to Clones via Analore street."

1837 "AUGHNAMULLEN, a parish, in the barony of CREMORNE, county of MONAGHAN, and province of ULSTER,3 miles (s. by w.) from Ballibay, on the road to Dublin; containing 18,032 inhabitants.
It comprises, according to the Ordnance survey, 30,710 statute acres (including 1643 ¼ under water), of which 26,468 are applotted under the tithe act and valued at £19,323 per annum : there are large tracts of mountain and bog. The mountain of Bunnanimma is an isolated mass about six miles in circumference, and its summit, which according to the above survey, rises 886 feet above the level of the sea, is the highest point of land in the county : the waters flow from this mountain on the south-east to the sea at Dundalk, and on the west-north-west to Ballyshannon. On the south-east part of it is Lough Eagish, or Crieve Lough, partly supplied by springs and partly by rain water, which descends from the heights by which it is flanked on the east and west. A stream issuing from it presents by its rapid fall and constant supply, together with the abundance of fuel furnished by the bogs in the neighbourhood, such favourable sites for bleaching-mills that not less than fourteen mills are situated on its short course northward to Ballibay water, the tail race of one serving as the head of the next below it: the lake under the care of an engineer, or waterman, to regulate the flow of water, so that a deficiency is seldom experienced even in the driest seasons. There are many other lakes in the parish, the principal of which are Lough Avean, Lough Chantinee, and Lough Ballytrain, besides several of smaller size. A battle is said to have been fought on an island in the lough opposite the glebe-house, where many large bridleand battle-axes have been found: this island comprises several acres of very excellent land, mostly in pasture.
Of the entire extent of the parish, 25,008 acres are arable and pasture, and 1503 are bog and waste land. The soil is of an average quality, and the system of agriculture is capable of great improvement: flax of good quality is cultivated to a great extent, and wheat, oats, barley, and rye are also grown. There are very extensive bleach-greens at Crieve, near Ballibay, the property of Messrs. S. Cuningham and brothers; also similar establishments at Drumfaldra and Cremorne, respectively belonging to Messrs. Cuningham and Mr. Jackson ; and at Chantinee, to Mr . Forbes. There are flax-mills at Crieve and Laragh, the latter, in which machinery for spinning has been recently erected, the property of Messrs. Davison, and, with a weaving factory and bleach-green, affording employment to more than 300 persons; a large corn-mill at Rea, and two others at Derrygooney, all well supplied with water from the lakes. Some slate quarries of an inferior description, and a lead mine, were formerly worked, but have been discontinued.
The principal seats are Mountain Lodge, situated in a beautiful demesne, that of Lieut.-Col. Ker ; Lough Bawn, of W. Tenison, Esq. ; Chantinee, is the demesne of which are some fine water-falls, of J. Tilly Forbes, Esq. ; the glebe-house, the residence of the Rev. R. Loftus Tottenham; Cremorne Green, of J. Jackson, Esq; Crieve House, of S. Cuningham, Esq. ; Drumfaldre, of John Cuningham, Esq. ; Carnaveagh, of Jss. Cuningham, Esq.; Derrygooney, of R.A. Minnitt, Esq.; Laragh, of A. Davison, Esq.; Bushford, of R. Thompson, Esq. ; Corfada, of J. McCullagh, Esq. ; and Milmore, of-the late T. Brunker, Esq.
The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Clogher, and 1n the patronage of the Bishop: the tithes amount to £900. The church is a plain neat edifice, with a tower surmounted by four turrets, and occupies a picturesque situation: a grant of £185 has been recently made by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for its repair. Near Ballytrain is a chapel of ease, a very neat modern structure, for the eastern division of the parish.
The glebe-house is handsome and commodious, and the glebe comprises 40 acres.
In the R. C. divisions this parish is divided into two districts, east and west, having separate parochial clergy: there are five chapels, of which one at Luttin, to which is attached a burial-ground, was built in 1822, at an expense of £800 ; and another at Loughbawn., a spacious slated edifice, was built. in 1833 at an expense of £1000.
There are two places of worship for Presbyterians; one at Ballytrain, in connection with the Synod of Ulster, and of the third class; and the other at Crieve, in connection with the Seceding Synod, of the second class. There are four public schools, in which about 360 boys and 180 girls are taught; and there are fifteen hedge schools, in which are about 600 boys and 360 girls; and five Sunday schools.
On the summit of a hill overlooking Lough Eagish, about 25 years since, an urn was found in a rude tomb covered with a stone which weighed about two tons, supposed to be the burial-place of some prince or chief. The townland of Cremorne gives the title of Baron to the family of Dawson, of Dawson's Grove, in this county. Lewis 1837 Jane Lyons

ASTRACT
The following essay is designed as a short introduction to a collection of papers relating to assisted emigration from the Shirley estate m Farney mn Co. Monaghan in the years before and during the Famine, 1843-54. The papers are in the care of the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. The aim of this essay is to outline the background to the subsidized emigration of at least 1,300 people to America, Canada. England and Australia in the most populous years of the mid-nineteenth century. The documents record the wish of many to Leave Monaghan, the names of the people who left and the manner in which they were despatched overseas. The material is useful lot a number of reasons -- as a detailed record of probably most of the assisted emigration from the Shirley estate, its a genealogical source for local research into a small group of significant emigrants from this area and for providing important new insights Into the running of affairs on an estate in south Monaghan witch has left a sometimes sour memory among local communities.
The archival material has been assembled into a number of distinct sections: lists of names and family details; correspondence and other documents relating to the administration of the emigration and petitions lo the Estate Office in Carrickmacross seeking assistance to emigrate. In addition, there is material relating specifically to the emigration of two parties from the estate to Australia in August and December 1849. A previously unpublished report on the condition of Shirley's estate in 1843. undertaken by William Steuart Trench exists. This is important because it was Trench who proposed that the estate should assist poor tenants to emigrate. It is also significant because of the light which it throws on the personality of this controversial land agent. It is hoped to reproduce this report in a future issue of the journal.
INTRODUCTION
Much, but nor enough, has been written about assisted emigration from nineteenth century Ireland ~-- that is, emigration which was largely paid for by government or private individuals or institutions, but chiefly by landlords. The ideological implications of emigration have been The same for the nineteenth century and today: it is what might be described as a political and social hot potato'.
*From 'The Mountain of Greaghlone' composed by Patrick Finnegan, Lisdrumturk. quoted from Schools MSS Collection in Department of Irish Folklore, University College Dublin by kind permission of the head of departments (IFC S934; 271),
Clogher Record
Encouraging people To leave Ireland is a very risky undertaking. Even at The height of The massive outmovement in The 1840s. The official agencies of public opinion were at least ambivalent:and at most opposed to emigration and This attitude continued throughout the remainder of The nineteenth century. The editorial policy of the Freeman's, Journal, for, example, disapproved of The Flow of people out of The homeland, but at The same time the paper carried many advertisements for shipping lines to America, as well as articles of advice to potential emigrants. Tile Catholic Church was opposed to The emigration, as evidenced by the pronouncements of some of The hierarchy, but at The same time many individual clergy on The ground in destitute rural parishes encouraged members of Their flock to leave. Fr Patrick Moynagh from The parish of Donagh in north Monaghan, for example, helped many people to emigrate to Canada in the 1830s And 1840s."

1844 COOTEHILL , a post and market town in the parish of Drumgoon, barony of Tullaghgarvey, co. Cavan, Ulster. It stands on the Cootehill river, and on the road from Dublin to Clones, 7.75 miles north-north-west of Shircock, 8 south-west by south of Ballyboy, 8.75 south by east of Clones, and 51 north -north-west of Dublin. The country around it, including part of county Monaghan ,is very beautiful; and within a radius of about 3 miles , contains, among other mansions, these of Bellamont Forest, Dawson castle, Fairfield, Lisnalong, Dromore, Feame Mount, Annsfort, Minore, Bellgreen, Newgrove, Mountain Lodge, Keighan, Annalee, Tullyvin, Rathkenny, Ashfield, and Retreat. Mayo hill, the highest summit of the district, and situated in the direction of Shircock, commands a good view; and the banks of the Cootehill river, for several miles above the town, furnish a constant series of very rich close landscapes,__chiefly of the class which may be designated languishingly beautiful. The town is comparatively well-built and respectively inhabited; and is not equalled in appearance by any place between it and Dublin except Navan. It contains a neat church ,a Roman Catholic chapel, two Presbyterian meeting-houses, Methodist, Moravian, and Quaker chapels, several schools, and an inn, and posting establishment. the weekly markets are well-attended; mostly markets are held here for cattle, flax, yarn, &c,; and fairs are held on March 12, June 9, Sept. 12, and Dec. 6. Brewing and distilling make a prominent figure, as they do in most Irish towns where any possible means can be commanded for maintaining them; the linen market is one of the briskest among the second-rate towns of Ireland; linen-weaving employs a considerable proportion of the inhabitants; and the sheetings brought hither for sale are said to be preferred to those of the other northern markets. A branch of the Provincial bank was established in 1836, and a branch of the Ulster Bank in 1837. The public conveyances, in 1838, were a car to Lavastrand, and a coach in transit between Clones and Dublin.__ The Cootehill Poor-Law union ranks as the 62d; and was declared on Aug. 10, 1839. It lies partly in co. Cavan, and partly in co. Monaghan; and comprising an area of 164 square miles , or 104,988 acres, with a pop., in 1831 of 63,391. The electoral divisions within co. Monaghan , together with their respective pop., in 1831, are Cormeen 6,654, Dawson Grove 7,511, Aghabog 5,495, and Drum 3,394; and those within co. Down (sic) are Cootehill 7,335, Ashfield 6,557. Tullyvin 3,033, Drumgoon 4,269, Drung 5,054, Rathkenny 4,270, Lerah 3,171, and Knockbride 6,819. The number of ex-officio guardians is 6, and of elected guardians 18; and two of the latter are chosen by each of the divisions of Cormeen, Dawson Grove, Aghabog, Cootehill, Ashfield, and Knockbride, and one by each of the other divisions. The total number of ‚10 electors traced in the rate-book is 330; and of those 38 are rated under ‚10,__23 under ‚9,__14 under ‚8, __9 under ‚7,__6 under ‚6, and 2 under ‚5. The total nett annual value of the property rated is ‚82,846, the total number of persons rated is 8,608; and of these, 275 are rated a valuation not exceeding ‚1,__580, not exceeding ‚2,__not exceeding ‚3,__712, not exceeding ‚4,__and 895, not exceeding ‚5. The workhouse was contracted for on Sept. 1 ,1849, and was to be completed in march 1842; the amount of contract was ‚7,360; the sum to be borrowed was ‚8,900; the extent of intended accommodation was 800 persons ;and the site has an area of 6 acres ,2 perches, and was purchased for ‚631 6s. 3d., besides ‚100 of compensation to occupying tenants. The date of the first admission of paupers was Dec. 2 1842; the total expenditure thence till Feb. 6, 1843, was ‚1,000 3s. 9d.; and the total previous expenditure was ‚501 8s. 8d. A fever hospital at Cootehill consists of only one room in a small house, and is altogether incompetent for the wants of the union, or even of a moderate district around the town; and ,in 1839-40, it expended ‚93 13s. 6d. halfpenny, and admitted 138 patients. The dispensary districts are 3 in number, and have their seats at Cootehill, Drum, and Rockcorry; but they serve for only two-thirds of the union. The Cootehill dispensary has a district of 36,167 acres, with a pop. of 21,550; and ,in 1839-40, it expended ‚141 9s. 6d., and administered to 2,604 patients. The Loan Fund of Cootehill ,in 1841, had a capital ‚2,168; and during that year, it circulated ‚9,241 in 2,744 loans , cleared a nett profit of ‚65 15s. 4d., and expended on charitable purposes ‚44 8s. 8d.; and from the date of its institution, it circulated ‚49,271 in 14,750 loans, cleared a nett profit of ‚418 7s. 4d., and expended on charitable purposes ‚340 8s. 8d.__ Area of the town , 107 acres, Pop., in 1831, 2,239; in 1841, 2,425. Houses 415. Families employed chiefly in agriculture , 85; in manufactures and trade, 287; in other pursuits, 73. families dependent chiefly on property and profession, 19; on the directing of labour, 294; on their own labour, 169; on means not specified, 23. 1844 Parliamentary Gazeeter of Ireland available at LDS libraries.

Dec. 13, 1860 "As of (Printing date)Thursday, December 13, 1860 there were no Mitchell families left in Desart. There were still Mitchell families in the parish of Donagh." Griffith's Valuation parish of Donagh Research interest of Nancy Goe nancygoe@comcast.net
Jan. 1861 "I began with the index of Griffith's (cd) and found none. I than went to the micro-film of the Tithes Applotment Books Tab 23/10 (Jan.27, 1825) for Killeveen, read the entire parish and found none. I than went to the actual micro-fiche of Griffith's, (published 1861) read the entire parish of Killevaen and found none.
I made copies of both the Griffith's and the Tithes for Newbliss and will send them to you. I also made copies of entries in other parts of the parish that some might argue are Gorman but I don't believe so. I am also sending you a list from Griffith's index of all the Gormans in Monaghan (49) that include the parish and townland.
Ok, that is it for the bad news. Now if you like to hang on to hope by a thread than there is, in the index to Griffith's Valuation, a Peter McGorman and a Bernard Gormley in Drumsnat and a Bernard McGorman in Ematris. Both those parishes are close to Killevan and Drumsnat is adjacent. I also note a Bernard Gorman in Annagh parish in County Cavan, just over the border."

1878 I am researching my McGeough ancestry. My ggrandfather and his parents and siblings came to New York from Co. Monaghan in 1877. First appear in Lynn, MA City Directory in 1878. Note spelling McGough. Spelling is corrected to McGeough in 1885. I have much miscellaneous McGeough information and would love to correspond with a McGeough/McGough relative. Hope to hear back from you soon. Sheryl donb@shore.net
1882 My ggfather Owen Quigley supposedly comes from Clones, County Monaghan. He was a farmer and he married Mary Ann DALTON. I think he had a brother James and a sister Mary Ann.

1889 "My great grandmother was Kate Beggan (or Beggins?) who emigrated from Clones, Co. Monaghan to Boston, MA in 1889, alone, at the tender age of 16, with 2 pieces of baggage in steerage class. Oh, that she had kept a journal!!! Anyway, I had always heard that some of her brothers and sisters had remained in Ireland "on the family farm", so with their descendants in mind, I placed an ad in a local paper, and received 6 letters in return!! The chillbumps hit when I received a copy of a photo that was the exact duplicate of a copy that was on it's way to Ireland from me!! Since then we have enjoyed a great cyberspace correspondence, and I will get to meet one of my cousins in later this month when he comes to Philadelphia!

"Big Jim McGough" was my father's ("Little Jim") first cousin, though they were vastly different in age. My father's father, John, was a mason, and came from Glasslough, Belderg, Co. Monagahan. They lived in Brooklyn. I met Big Jim several times as a child and as a young adult. John took his family back to Ireland after his wife died in the 1918 flu epidemic. We still keep in touch with our McGeough cousins in Irteland. My sister is the family historian and I will share your excellent notes and other information with her. If she can add anything to what you have here, I'm sure she will. I enjoyed the fine research you've done. Thanks so much for the work. Susan McGough Penn State University szm8@cde.psu.edu
