Hello!
I am so happy to have found this site!
I am trying to push back on my husband's 2 x great-grandfather.
Thomas Kearnan (1840 - 1884) is buried in Port Byron, NY USA. According to US
Census records, Thomas was born in Ireland
He was married to Hannah Donaldson (1840 - 1912) who was born in Ireland. The
family in NY were Presbyterian so we suspect they were from the North.
I have a marriage record of a Hannah Donaldson and a Thomas McCann (?) on
February 23, 1860 from Tullynane at the Parish Church at the Parish of Lissan.
Thomas's father was listed as William McCann. Hannah's father was listed as
Thomas Donaldson.
A Thomas and Hannah McCarron (McCannon?) traveled to NY via Liverpool on the
Nottebahm arriving in 1863. It looks like they had a daughter, Sarah, born on
the ship who died before they docked.
I can find no records connecting Thomas and Hannah on the ship to the Thomas
and Hannah who ended up in Port Byron, NY.
I do have a Civil War Pension card in which Hannah Kearnan is claiming the
pension of "Thomas McCarl alias Thomas Kearnan" which makes me think that
somewhere along the way Thomas changed his last name.
Any leads or insights would be appreciated. Thank you!
Maureen Kearnan
