hi there- i believe we are related through James Meagher. His daughter Margaret, was my great grandmother. She married william wickett and her daughter Claire Wickett Ward is my grandmother. I hope I traced this correctly. My dad was born in Brooklyn and my grandparents were too. It seems that there is a great history involving the Meagher family in history. Although I grew up in NJ, I am married now and live in Brooklyn with my husband. I had no idea that family went so far back to the civil war and that many family members lived right where I live today.
Kind regards,
Jackie Ward-Spinelli
