For Robin Dennis and Linly Hooper -
I saw your recent posts mentioning O'Hagans. I see this surname so
infrequently, that I can't imagine we are not connected somehow. There must
have been a lot of priests and nuns in the family - so very few descendants now!
I've got a Charles O'Hagan coming to the US through Philadelphia in 1841,
quickly marrying a Susan Murray Higgins - a widow with 2 very young daughters,
at least one of whom was born in Ireland - and then moving to Cambria County,
Pennsylvania, where they had 5 more children. I cannot make a jump back to
Ireland to a specific spot, but I think I've narrowed it down to somewhere
between Tobermore and Keenaught, which are in southeast County Derry and maybe
20 miles from Cookstown in County Tyrone.
I found a Charles and Bernard O'Hagan both listed as farming the same acreage
in the 1828 Tithe Applotment Record - seems promising as Charles named his
US-born son Bernard - so likely a father/son on the farm?
Also, The Ordinance Survey Memoirs for County Derry, in describing the area
around Tobermore in 1836, states the only known members of the O'Hagan family
are five farmers and the Rev. Edward O'Hagan, parish priest at Drumachose. The
five farmers in the Tithe Applotments are Charles, Bernard, John, and two
different James Hagan (no O' prefix) in Keenaught.
The births, marriages and deaths for Desertmartin and Kilcronaghan Parishes
1848-1880 show many Hagan/O'Hagan listings, likely at Old St. Patrick's RC
Church.
There is also a remnant of the 1831 census showing a Charles O'Hagan family on
Main St. in Tobermore, with a Bernard Murray family living two doors away.
Does any of this sound even vaguely familiar?
Thanks for reading -

p.s. If anyone ever has the gumption to help me with my Hagan / O'Hagan
ancestors in county Tyrone, I'd love it -- but as they emigrated to the US
between 1838 and 1843, I think I have to accept defeat beyond what I've pieced
together with some DNA matches.

Hi RobinI found my Australian Hagans after a circuitous route, in Termonmaguirk
in the 1840s and they had US siblings/cousins - would like to share
notes...Linley
