I am seeking any family ancestor information on the following GEOGHAGANS.
Their surnames on published records vary from GEOGHEGAN, GEOGHAGAN, GOHAGAN, GEOGHAN, GAHAGAN, etc.
So any variation may apply.
Since they all were in Lexington Kentucky during the same period, I suspect they are related:
----E. GOHAGAN-GEOGHAN (E is most likely for Elizabeth or Ellen); she was born in Ireland about 1795. She died in Lexington, Ky, in December 1850.
Elizabeth/Ellen is very likely the mother of the following:
----Margaret , possibly a daughter; born about 1817 in Ireland; married name is Coffield ;
----Fannie (Frances ?) , born in Washington DC in about 1818, died unmarried in Lexington Ky in March 1899.
---- Mary, per US census records, was born in Ireland in about 1820-21; she married William H. REORDAN-RERDAN in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky, on Feb. 4, 1842.
----Samuel, born in Kentucky, in about 1829,
----Ellen, born in Kentucky in about 1833, and later married Thomas White in US; she died January 1907 in Lexington Ky.
----Ann, or Anna, born in Kentucky in about 1835. Later married Daniel T. Murphy; she died in Lexington in October 1910.
Other GEOGHEGANs:
Patrick GEOGHEGAN, born about 1779, in Ireland; died in Lexington KY on Sept. 18, 1834. There is evidence suggesting Patrick may be the father of the above children and the spouse of Elizabeth/Ellen.
Another Geoghegan, but I don’t know if he is related to the above:
Doctor F. B. Geoghagen, who died in Lexington on January 28, 1846. Death notice said he’d been in Lexington for 10 years. Origin unknown.
The birth dates were calculated from data on US census sheets; some individual’s birth years varied from census to census, so there is some margin of error in the birth years shown.
Do any of these names look familiar to anybody ?
Thanks
