Hello,
Please read the message that I just posted. I think you will find my theory interesting and maybe will be able to add to it. Please read the accounts of what was happening at the time our families left Cork and let me know what you think of my theory. Thanks.

Re: Origins in Cork

colleenhar — 2012-04-10 13:43:08Z

I hope other Horgan families check out my theory. I can bet that most families are having trouble finding out much early information, because they are looking in the worng place. I also believe you will find no record of your family before the mid to late 1820's. Check out, The Battle Of Carriganima, and The Whiteboys in Muskerry.A quote from this article:
"Denis Murphy, Timothy Hallahan, Richard Drummy and Edward Breen, five men who had taken part in the Deshure affray, except for the last named who was captured at Keimaneigh. They were all to be executed at Deshure crossroads.
Also in the car were the four men to be hanged in Carriganima – Daniel Murphy, Patrick Lehane, Thomas Goggin and Cronelius Lucy. Inside the car with them travelled Fr. Horgan, a man who had been parish priest in Clondrohid for fifteen years up till then; he was especially grieved at the situation as he himself was born in Carriganimma and he knew the doomed men personally. With him was Fr. Ryan of Macroom, while two other clergymen travelled in a chaise."
My theory is that the Horgan families of that area were allowed to get out of town because of their priest relative. I also believe that the ones leaving right after this happened were the most involved- going to Canada, Kerry, or the US. The ones leaving later, went to the Schull area and waited until they had proper paperwork before they left. I am proud to think that I might be related to those who fought tyranny with hardly any clothes on their backs. It was a desperate situation. Many of those Horgan's (Harrigan) that left in the 1830's and moved to New Brunswick are reatives of Bing Crosby. I found that the Lucey family web site has a list of families that married in. Many of them tie to our family. Maybe it's just a theory, but tythe records in 1766 show where the Horgan families were living in Cork. Cornelius was there. Please check this out and see if you agree. Thanks. Colleen

Horgan family from Pembina County, North Dakota

Re: Horgan -Cork to Haverhill, Ma.

colleenhar — 2012-03-24 02:36:58Z

The Irish had a naming system that I believe carried on through generations. You mentioned Daniel, John, we don't have a an old Timothy in my (Horgan) Harrigan line- that I know of. David Daniel Horgan married Christiana Hearn (Ahearn)about about 1820 and left Co. Cork in the mid to late 1820's, we believe. They lived in Albion, Peel County Ontario, Canada before settling in Ellis Twp. of Perth County by the late 1830's. They had children: Daniel, David, Eleanor, William, and we believe also; Margaret, Catherine, Edward, and possibly John and Francis. There were two Catholic Priests named David Horgan and Daniel Horgan who were uncle and nephew, born in the Macroom area. Ballyvournay- I believe. I can't find any Internet sites that have a transcription of people buried in the cemetery. The church records state;

Rev. Daniel Horgan CC
Deceased
Parish Of Birth
Kilmurry
Date Of Death
3/2/1865
Place Of Death
The Presbytery, Schull, Co. Cork
Place Of Burial
The family burial plot Macroom, Co. Cork
Obituary
The Solemn Requiem Mass took place at St. Patrick's Church, Dunmanway, Co. Cork.

Would you know if there is a place that this information would be posted? Any help is much appreciated.

The online telephone directory for kerry has 33 Horgan's 3 of which are in Castleisland, 14 Cahill, 3 in Castleisland and 11 Connor in Kerry. Might be worth six stamps to those in Castleisland.

Maglass is townland in two Parish's Nohaval and Ballymacelligott, in the Union of Tralee.
Castleisland is also a Parish.

You could look through shipping records, try Ellis Is. NY
as they have passengers going in both directions to and from Ireland.

1869 are Civil Records and copies of anything after 1864 can be obtained from the General Registry Office, Dublin
www.groireland.ie

Kerry does not belong to an organization/foundation of irish genealogy offices, so luckily the records you are looking for are after 1864.

I think there maybe two different Daniel Horgan's one with a wife Bridget Connor and and the other Bridget Cahil.

www.familysearch.org has civil records from Kerry

Bridget Horgan born 24 Oct. 1869 #621 Castleisland, Kerry
#101199 Daniel Horgan/Bridget Connor

Honora Horgan born 14 May 1868 #824 Castleisland
Daniel Hogan/Bridget Cahill #101169

the same record are on a CD I have from the LDS. The only possibility is that the person who did the transcribing copied the wrong wife's surname.

I didn't understand Thaddeus and Daniel Horgan know as Timothy. Is Timothy a surname? or a place

Many Kate and Mary's and father Daniel - wrong wife.

Re: Horgan -Cork to Haverhill, Ma.

Ciara_Kiely — 2011-02-10 10:16:06Z

Hi, I think your husband's family came from Kilcorney area of Cork. There were three brothers, Daniel, John(I'm a descendant of his line) & Timothy and one sister Julia. Julia moved to Newburyport and married a Patrick Sullivan there approx 1853. Her brother Daniel's 9 children all moved to Haverhill, MA, some of them lived with their Aunt Julia before they got married there. If you take a look at this book it has photos of Daceys/Horgans in the Haverhill area, The Irish in Haverhill , MA, Volume II By Patricia Trainor O'Malley. It includes contributions from Bob Gardella who is related to the Horgans also and he is a member of ancestry.com also. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help out in any other way and take a look through my photos from MA your husband might recognise someone !! Regards Ciara

Hello, Daniel Horrigan was my g-g-greatgrandfather. He would have been born around 1800. He married Catherine Callahan and they had a daughter, Ellen (b. 1831) who married William Hickey. I believe they had another daughter, Catherine who married patrick Sullivan. they all lived in Glamorgan, Wales for a while. Ellen eventually came to New Haven, CT with her son, Dennis. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Sue

I am a direct descendent of Amelia Clark. I am aware that James wife was Florence Heading. They left England for Australia on their honeymoon, arriving in Sydney.

This is what I have. If you are interested let me know. I was in the Catholic Mt. Auburn cemetery in Watertown Ma (AKA SandBanks Cemetery ) and as I was walking through the stones I saw a stone for Ellen C. Horgan born in Kilcummin County Kerry in 1833 and died in 1894. She was married to Cornelius Ryan. He was also born in County Kerry but the stone is not more specific. I took a picture of the stone and will forward it to anyone interested. The stone is in bad shape as are many in this cemetery.

I know its been awhile since you posted this but I've just run across it. My family name is Horgan and I was born in Rochester NY as was my Dad and his family. To the best of my knowlege there is only my cousin who is a Horgan on her Mother's side still in the Rochester area. The family lived for many years in North Greece. My Horgan grandparents, Dan and Anna, retired to Fla and then Calif. They had 2 boys, Dan and Tom and 2 girls, Jane and Marianne. and the last I knew only my Aunt Jane is still alive in Calif.
I would be curious to know how we might be related.
