Patrick Quigley Born between 1830 and 1840 in Co. Louth, Ireland. Son of James Quigley and Nannie Boyle.

He emigrated to the USA and wrote home regularly until the time of the US civil war. He fought in the war, side unknown, and was injured in one or more limbs, presumably arm. His last letter home, written from a military hospital, was penned by a female nurse, doctor or other medical person. A number of Patrick Quigleys served with the Union army, including one who deserted from a military hospital towards the end of the war. There is no reason to believe that this deserter is our Patrick Quigley. If it is, he may have assumed his maternal surname of Boyle.

If you have any information on ANY Patrick Quigley who fought in the U.S. Civil War, please drop me a line so that I can eliminate your Patrick Quigley from my searches

Born in Kilmore, Co Armagh, Ireland during the 1760's. His siblings were Hugh, Robert and James. He was involved with "the military" during the late 1700's. I have no solid evidence of this, except his brother's (Fr. James O'Coigley) statements. I suspect that he served in the Armagh militia. He may have changed religions at this point, as an article about Fr. James states that from this point on there were two sides to the family, one Catholic and one Protestant.

Born in Kilmore, Co Armagh, Ireland during the 1760's. His siblings were Hugh, Michael, above, and James. He was heavily involved in the flax/linen industry in Armagh. As a result of hostilities that arose in Armagh during the 1790's, he along with most of his family, fled to Co. Louth. He next crops up writing for the Manchester Chronicle, about the situation in Armagh during the 1790's. He wrote several articles between 1821 and 1837. As there was a strong linen industry in the Lancashire area during this period, it is possible that he became involved with the industry there.

Born in Kilrush, Co Clare, Ireland about 1850. He emigrated to Chicago with most of his family sometime before the US census of 1870. He appeared on the 1870 census listing at South Desplaines St, Chicago, along with his mother, brother Peter and other family members. He had lost contact with his brothers by the mid 1880’s

Minnie was born in Chicago on January 12th 1872. Her parents were William J (Mescall) Maskell (1843-1892), from Cooraclare, Kilrush, Ireland and Kath Unknown. Her siblings were John William (b. abt 1867), Kath (b. 1870) and Joseph (b. 1873). Her parents separated and Minnie and her sister Kath lived with their mother in Toronto. Minnie worked (as a nurse ?) in St Vincent's Hospital in New York.

Kath was born in Chicago in September 1870. Her parents were William J (Mescall) Maskell (1843-1892), from Cooraclare, Kilrush, Ireland and Kath Unknown. Her siblings were John William (b. abt 1867), Minerva (Minnie)(b. 1872) and Joseph (b. 1873). Her parents separated and Kath and her sister Minnie lived with their mother in Toronto. Kath married Tom Fitzgerald, a railroad man and they lived at 1919 6th Ave West, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

Margaret Mescall was born in Cooraclare, Kilrush, Co. Clare. She emigrated to Australia on the "Fiery Star" with her sister Mary. Both were travelling as "helps" with families. Margaret may have adopted the name Bridget or "Bid" after reaching Australia, perhaps to avoid confusion after her marriage to a man called Berryman. The Berrymans were involved in the mining industry.

Margaret/Bridget had two daughters, Margaret (b. 9th April 1878) and Pauline (b. July 5th 1868).

Pauline married and had at least 3 girl and a boy (b. March 1899). The girls all died in childhood and the boy was given a week to live in October 1920.

Margaret (d. 1961) married Pat Durkin and lived in Sydney. They had 4 children; William, Harold (b. 2nd July 1907), George (b. 3 August 1915) and Jack.
