Re: Is anyone relatives to the McCaffertys in Mt Stering or Plain City Ohio

LHildebrand4326 — 2009-10-19 20:58:05Z

My McCafferty's (father Neil/Neal - wife Mary) arrived in Ohio circa 1825 - first to Guernsey County and finally settling in Clark County from Maryland. Census says from Ireland (1808-1812)but I think originally from Scotland. Had 4 known children (Katherine b.1812, James 1822, Mary 1828, Ellen 1829). I'm sure there must have been at least a couple between Katherine (my gggrandmother) and James but have no records. Would love to find link to other McCafferty's in Ohio. Katherine married John Betts and lived in London, OH (Madison County).

Hello

My Hugh McCafferty ancestor was from Letterkenny, but he was still there in the 1870s and was probably a different person.

The name just seems to crop-up in Letterkenny or the surrounding area a lot - Kilmacrennan, Milford etc.

Hugh

Re: Hugh McCafferty 1834 came to Glasgow from Ireland.

lizian173 — 2009-09-18 21:04:58Z

Thanks for reply Hugh. What makes you think he was from Letterkenny. Is he in your tree?

Re: Hugh McCafferty 1834 came to Glasgow from Ireland.

hughharkin1 — 2009-09-18 20:55:55Z

Most likely he was from Letterkenny, County Donegal

Re: McCafferty

Grangeburn — 2009-08-10 11:04:16Z

My gt-grandmother was Bridget McCafferty daughter of Charles McCafferty and Sarah Kerr or Carr.
Bridget was born about 1864 somewhere around Ramelton - Burt - St Johnston in Co Donegal. Perhaps near the Derry border.
She married Joseph Curran (son of Patrick Curran and Catherine Stevenson) at the R C chapel of Burt about 1883.
Bridget had 1 brother that I know of, James McCafferty born 1866 at Fannet Co Donegal, he married Elizabeth O'Donnel in Dunbartonshire Scotland.
Bridget's known sisters were Sarah who married Hugh Doherty/Docherty in Co Donegal and came over to Dumbarton with the rest of the McCaffertys, around 1888 - 90.
Other sisters were Roseann and Mary who also married in Dumbarton.

According to the 1910 U.S. Census, Neil P. McCafferty and his wife Hannah A. (Green) had 9 children, 8 surviving. The children's names and ages given were: Neil J. 27, Mary A. 25, John A. 22, Rosa A. 19, Winifred C. 14, Daniel E. 11, Catherine 4, and Vincent J. 2. Also living at 544 Ridge Ave. with the McCafferty family was Hannah's mother, Rose (Waters)Green, age 75.
I'm guessing that Mary became Mamie or Mame and grew younger at each succeeding census.
Hannah was the sister of my great grandmother, Frances.

Dear Connie: You are very kind to offer assistance vis-a-vis any connection of the David Shelby, b 1792, PA, who married a Jane McCafferty in Mason County, KY, to the McCaffertys under your review. This one has befuddled me now for almost 15 years. Perhaps Abraham's lineage will offer a clue. I have not visited Bracken County. Good luck and thanks again.

Francis Keenan

Re: McCafferty Roots

cstrandberg — 2009-07-03 20:49:02Z

It will take me awhile to get through the various sources I have found re: Abraham McCafferty to see if I can tease out anything about your Shelby/McCafferty connection. Abraham was in Bracken County, KY in 1796, the year it was formed from Mason County. I plan a trip to Bracken County sometime this summer and will keep your message in mind. Maybe something will present itself.
The Strandberg person you mention is most likely not connected to us. My husband's family is Strandberg by "adoption" back in Sweden in 1870.

Augustus McCafferty

anneagee — 2009-06-14 13:50:01Z

I'm looking for the parents of Augustus McCafferty born about 1843 in Cuba. His father may have been Hugh McCafferty, who supposedly went to Cuba about 1840 to mine for copper. Hugh also was supposed to have worked on the Erie Canal in NY. Any information on Augustus or his parents would be welcome.

Re: place to start

Francis McCafferty was the son of William McCafferty and Catherine Lennon. Catherines mother Mary Farrey Lennon was my grandfather James H Farrey's sister. I would be interested in any info you have on the Lennon or McCafferty families.

The very first Neil I have is from 1695 Ireland, and his son John was born in Sweet Avon Scotland in 1724.

Re: John and Charles

LHildebrand4326 — 2009-05-05 20:30:26Z

My gggg grandfather Neil McCafferty and his family - wife Mary and children (that I know of) Katherine, James. Mary & Ellen came to Ohio between 1825-1830 - first to Guernsey County and then to Clark County. They emigrated from Ireland but possibly from Scotland before that around 1815. Would love to find a connection.

Re: James McCafferty

LHildebrand4326 — 2009-05-05 20:06:33Z

I also have a Neil McCafferty although I'm not sure where he originated. He and his family came to USA about 1815 - family history says he came over from Ireland but not sure if that was home or port shipped out from. Wife Mary, children (that I know of)Katherine, James, Mary & Ellen. They ended up in Clark County, Ohio. Would love to find a connection somewhere!

Re: James McCafferty

larry_mccaffertyjr — 2009-05-03 17:13:25Z

I have a McCafferty family tree, with a Neil McCaffert at the start of it. He was born in 1695 Ireland, and his son John was born in 1724 in a town called Sweet Avon, Scotland.
If you have any of these on your tree let me known. Maybe we can match the names up.

In this family, Francis McCafferty (b. 1925) had a brother named Bernard (1922) and James (1923). They were all born in Michigan or Ohio. Like you said, must be a different branch. Thanks for you assistance anyway.

Best Regards.

My father was called Francis McCafferty.He had a brother called Alex, and Sister called Elizabeth. He was born in 1923 in,Edinburgh,Scotland. I think this must be a different branch of the Mccafferty's to your friends.
Kind regards Bernard Mccafferty

My friend's name is Francis McCafferty. His father was also Francis McCafferty, born 1925 in OH. His parents were James (born ca 1899) and Elizabeth (last name unknown) born ca 1902.

Re: James McCafferty

barbarajwb — 2009-03-03 15:25:05Z

I hope we have the same "James." I've just started doing the research for a friend of mine and his grandfather was James, married to Elizabeth (unknown last name). James' parents were Bernard and Grace McCafferty. James' son was Francis.

If this is the same "James," I'd love to have a copy of the photo as a surprise.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Joann

NC - Will McCafferty - John Springs bill of sale 1785 Mecklenburg County, NC

calvinewr — 2008-08-15 03:41:08Z

Is anyone familiar with a Will MCafferty in the late 1700s in Mecklenburg. I have located a deed abstract that has him selling 3 slaves to John Springs, Jr. I have been looking for a slave by the name of Nancy Springs, born in 1780 whom I believe is an ancestor of mine who was owned by a member of the Springs family. I am trying to trace her back to Africa. I am trying to find out who McCafferty was, where he lived and how he came to have those three slaves. I could not find any McCaffertys in 1790, 1800 or 1810 census in Mecklenburg. I found one in Pennsylvania in 1790. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hugh McCafferty 1834 came to Glasgow from Ireland.

lizian173 — 2008-01-20 14:29:51Z

Hi McCafferty's.
I am completely stuck on Hugh McCafferty (1834) A Scottish census reports he came from Ireland but do not know place.
He married Ann? from Rostenk, Linlithgowshire and had children - Hugh 1867, Thomas1870married to Annie McGhie, John, Philip and Michael McCafferty 91876)
It appears to be most difficult to research Irish records - any links would be appreciated.
If anyone recognizes above names- please contact.
Thanks from Liz.

Could you do the same if you see any HUGH MCCAFFERTY abt 1834 references in Ireland or Scotland. The other names are Ann McGhie, Anne, Thomas, Matthew Andrew Agnes, Kathleen and Arthur McCafferty - all Scotland or London.
Good Luck in your research,

I have a Charles McCafferty from Ireland m. Mary ann Johnston from Ireland, on the 1861&1871 Scotland Census they had seven children all born in Rutherglen Lanarkshire cant find them in later census either Scotland or England, they are my great grandparents their youngest daughter was Mary b.1874 m Timothy Mansell; they lived in Ashington Northumberland. It appears from the 1871 census that Charles had a brother and his family in Scotland also, Thomas Mccafferty m. Helen Burke, they all lived at 130 Main Street Rutherglen & poss. John Mccafferty and Mary ann Haney I know its a long shot as there seemed to be many Mccafferty's in the census. but anything sound familiar. Best Wishes Vivienne
