Hi, I am trying to trace US descendants of the
Naughton family from Portacloy, Co. Mayo, Ireland. Two different branches of the family went to USA
...................
A. Thomas
Naughton was working in Westernport,Alleghany and placed an ad in the
Boston Pilot on 07-21-1860 looking for his brother Michael who was working at Sc,
Tunnel Hill,
Pickens Dist...................
B. Michael & Mary
Naughton lived in Portacloy and 3 of their children went to USA. Bridget Agnes
Naughton (b.1884-6)(known in later years as Agnes
Norton)arrived in
New York 01 June 1913 and immigration papers state she would be staying with her uncle Joseph
Jenson, 2840 Wallnut St,
Denver. I have not come across the name
Jenson before so I think that perhaps an Aunt of
Bridget was married to this man.
...................
By 1920 Agnes was living in 52
Locust St., New
Bedford, Mass. when her brother Francis
Naughton (b.1897) arrived in NY on 24 JUL 1920. By the time the third member of family Nora
Naughton (b.1890)arrived on 25 Mar 1921 Frank had moved to 165 Clinton St, New
Bedford, Mass. He had moved again by 1923 to 159
Duffy St, New
Bedford.
..................
I know Nora married a man called John
Donovan. I also know that one of these three had a child called TJ
Norton so am assuming that he is Frank's child as we don't think that Agnes married. We also think that some of the family ended up in
Ohio.
Hoping someone recognises some of the names. Any help here would be appreciated.
