Cash-McConnon-Callahan-Sullivan-O'Connell
Family Home Page
This site provides information about several families--each from different parts of Ireland--some of whose descendants continue to live in Ireland today, whereas others immigrated mainly to Haverhill, Massachusetts, starting in the 1880s. Other members immigrated to California, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Cash family
This branch of the Cash family is first found in Kilcormac, Co. Offaly, Ireland (then called Frankford, Kings Co.) in the early 1800s. It is not known how this family is related,
if at all, to other Cash families located in Scotland, England, or other parts of Ireland. Several Cash families lived in the Kilcormac area before the Famine as recorded in the Roman Catholic registers for Ballyboy Parish.
My ancestor, William Cash (1807-1880), was born in or near Frankford (now
Kilcormac), Ballyboy parish, in 1807. At the age of 20 he joined the 75th
Regiment of Foot
(originally a Scottish Highland infantry regiment), which was stationed
at the time in nearby Birr. He served in the 75th Foot from 1827 to 1848.
He spent 13 years at the Cape of Good Hope during the 1830s and early 1840s, and
he received the 1853 South Africa Medal along with the rest of his regiment.
In his last few years of service, he performed guard duty at Pendennis Castle,
near Falmouth, England. Upon retiring, he received a pension of one
shilling per day. In February 1850 he moved from Dublin to Co. Monaghan. He
soon married Catherine McConnon
(about 1821-1894), whose family was living in Togan (a townland), Threemilehouse, Co. Monaghan. There they raised their family
on a piece of a land that was about 5 acres, just down the lane from the
McConnons. Descendants of this family live in Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, the United States,
and no doubt in other countries. In the 20th century some members of this Cash family immigrated to Haverhill, Massachusetts.
The known children of William Cash and Catherine McConnon were:
Catherine Cash. Born after 1850. Married Peter McGuire of Brandrum,
Co. Monaghan. Died before 1901.
John Cash. Born about 1853. Married Margaret McEneaney in 1887. Died
November 23, 1907 in Togan, Co. Monaghan.
Margaret Cash. Born about 1857. Married James Gormley in 1876.
William Cash. Born June 5, 1861. Married Elizabeth Sullivan of
Brosna, Co. Kerry. Died September 18, 1926 in Cork, Co. Cork.
Patrick Cash. Born March 10, 1864. Died August 10, 1866 in Co.
Monaghan.
Elizabeth Cash. Born about 1868. Married Joseph McEneaney. Died
January 8, 1920 in Co. Monaghan.
McConnon family in Co. Monaghan
This branch of the McConnon family was living in the townland of Togan, in the
Threemilehouse, Co. Monaghan area by the 1700s. The McConnons are thought to have come from the Lisdoonan area near Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan.
Francis McConnon was born before 1746 in Togan, Drumsnat, Co. Monaghan,
and died about 1810 there. (This Francis may be the son of the Thomas
McConnin who is buried in Drumsnat cemetery and whose gravestone gives his
death date as March 10, 1781 and his age at death as 78.) Francis and his
unknown wife had two sons that are known: Thomas McConnon (about 1778-about
1850) and John McConnon (about 1790-died July 31, 1865).
Known children of Thomas McConnon (about 1778-about 1850) are:
Francis McConnon. Born about 1807. Married first Anne Whelan on
December 10, 1838. Married second Mary Canaway (Conway) on September 17,
1846. Died November 4, 1872 in Togan.
James McConnon. Born about 1819. Married Brigid O'Brien on January
29, 1855. Died March 27, 1883 in Togan.
Margaret McConnon. Married James Whelan on June 17, 1840.
Catherine McConnon. Born about 1821. Married William Cash on
September 19, 1850. Died May 19, 1894 in Togan.
Anne McConnon. Married Patrick Fitzsimons on July 10, 1845.
Known children of John McConnon (about 1790-died July 31, 1865) and
Catherine McMahon are:
Rose McConnon. Born about 1829. Died August 28, 1889.
Francis McConnon. Born about 1841. Married Rose Greenan. Died August
9, 1917.

Callaghan family in Co. Cork
This branch of the Callaghan/Callahan family is from Kilcorney, Co. Cork, Ireland, from townlands such as Knockgorm, Glenleigh, and Horsemount. Allied families are Riordan, Howard, Buckley, and Sullivan. In the 1880s several members of this Callaghan family immigrated to Haverhill, Massachusetts. In the 20th century, other family members also moved to Haverhill
and elsewhere while others remained in Co. Cork.
Timothy Callahan was born in Co. Cork about 1838, a son of John Callahan
and his wife Mary (according to Timothy's death certificate). (A Timothy
Callaghan was baptized on July 30, 1837 in Banteer parish, Co. Cork. The
address is Googans. The parents were recorded as John Callaghan and Mary
Crimin. The sponsors were Cornelius Sheehan and Mary Callaghan.) Timothy
Callahan died in Haverhill, MA, on July 25, 1892.
Timothy Callahan married Catherine
Sullivan on February 4, 1857 in Banteer parish, Co. Cork. Catherine Sullivan
was baptized on May 26, 1834 in Banteer parish, a daughter of Jeremiah Sullivan and Mary Riordan
(according to Catherine's baptism records and her death certificate). Catherine died in Haverhill,
MA, on July 6, 1900. Several of their children immigrated to Massachusetts
about the time they did, while their son John stayed in Ireland on the
family farm.
A Jeremiah Sullivan, age 100, died on February 1, 1873 in Knockgorm,
Kilcorney. Timothy Callahan was the informant. Because of this
Jeremiah Sullivan's age, he may have been Catherine's grandfather.
Another Jeremiah Sullivan, age 64, died on August 19, 1873 in Horsemount,
Kilcorney. The informant was Katherine Sullivan. This Jeremiah Sullivan was
probably her father.
The known children of Timothy Callahan (about 1838-1892) and Catherine
Sullivan (1834-1900) were:
Mary T. Callahan. Born 1858 in Co. Cork, Ireland. Married John S.
Howard (son of Michael Howard and Margaret Corkery) on November 27, 1884 in Haverhill, MA. Died December 18, 1926 in
Haverhill, MA.
John Callahan. Born April 8, 1860 in South Horsemount, Co. Cork,
Ireland. Married Elizabeth Sullivan on April 5, 1882 in Banteer parish,
Co. Cork, Ireland. Died March 6, 1949 in Glenleigh, Co. Cork, Ireland.
Jeremiah Callahan. Born about 1863 in Co. Cork, Ireland. Married
Margaret Cronin on August 11, 1896 in Haverhill, MA. Died March 27, 1943
in Haverhill, MA.

Co. Cork, Ireland. Married Michael Melody on July 1, 1895 in Haverhill,
MA. Died July 13, 1942 in Haverhill, MA.
Michael Callahan. Born July 25, 1872 in Knockgorm, Kilcorney, Co.
Cork, Ireland.
Sullivan family in Co. Cork
John Sullivan, of Glaunleigh (Glenleigh), married Mary Howard on February
24, 1838 in Banteer parish, Co. Cork. The witnesses were Jeremiah Sullivan
and Mary Sullivan. The Howards were a large family in the area, and
several of them are buried in the old Kilcorney cemetery with the following
marker
(as transcribed in Albert Eugene Casey's O'Kief, Coshe Mang, Slieve
Lougher and Upper Blackwater in Ireland, vol. 7, p. 2149):
The burial place of the Howard Family, Glenleigh, Eliza Howard died
5th Apr. 1880 aged 63 years. Henry Howard died 24 Dec. 1890 aged 83
years. Jerome H. Howard, died 21 Feb. 1918, aged 68 years. May they rest
in peace.
Mary Howard, wife of John Sullivan, died on July 22, 1905 in Knockgorm,
Kilcorney. Her age was given as 93, and the informant was Kate Callaghan,
identified as her granddaughter. The 1901 Irish census recorded her age as
85--she was living with the family of her son-in-law John Callaghan in
Knockgorm, Kilcorney.
The following are children of John Sullivan and Mary Howard:
Ellen Sullivan. Born February 25, 1839 in Glenleigh (Glaunleigh),
Co. Cork. (Informants for baptism were Michael Corkery and Johanna
Sullivan.)
Jeremiah Sullivan. Born January 2, 1842 in Glenleigh, Co. Cork.
(Informants for baptism were Jeremiah Sullivan and Mary Howard.)

Sullivan/O'Connell families in Co. Kerry
This branch of the Sullivan family is from Knegare/Cuinnegear, Brosna, Co. Kerry, Ireland, where John Sullivan and Julia O'Connell reared their family.
Brosna is a village close to where Counties Kerry, Limerick, and Cork meet. In the 1880s and 1890s, some members of this family moved to Haverhill, Massachusetts and other parts of America while others remained in Ireland. In the 20th century, other descendants moved to Haverhill, to the Fresno area in California, and to the United Kingdom.
John Sullivan died about 1899, and his wife Julia died after 1911.
I have been unable to find civil registrations for their deaths or any
church records for their marriage. In the 1901 census, Julia was
listed as 66 years old and born in Kerry. In the 1911 census, she was
listed as 72, born in Limerick, and married for 39 years. If John died
in 1899, they would have married about 1860.
There is a possible marriage record for John Sullivan and Julia Connell:
Abbeyfeale, Co. Limerick, church records show a wedding between John
Sullivan and Julia Connell on February 5, 1857. The witnesses were Daniel
Connors and David Connell. It is not known if John and Julia are the same
couple who later lived in Brosna. There is also a baptism record for a Julia
Connell in Abbeyfeale on April 21, 1838. Her parents were Michael Connell
and Julia Herlihy. The sponsors were Timothy Crowley and Margaret Connell.
It is not known if this is the same Julia Connell who married John Sullivan
and reared their family in Brosna.
The parents of John Sullivan may be Daniel Sullivan and Johanna (about
1799-1865). There is a death registered in Brosna for September 5,
1865 for Joan Sullivan, age 66, the widow of Daniel Sullivan. A John
Sullivan was present at her death. There is a Daniel Sullivan
listed in the 1829 Tithe Applotments for Brosna as an occupant of land in
Cnuigare. In the Griffith's Valuation for Brosna East in 1852,
Johanna Sullivan is shown as the occupier of 72 acres of land. She is
probably John's mother, for the land he occupied later was about 75 acres.
In addition, John Sullivan's eldest son was named Daniel, following a
traditional Irish naming pattern.
The known children of John Sullivan and Julia O'Connell
were:
Ellen Sullivan. Married first John Keeffe in 1880.
Married second Harris after 1890.
Mollie Sullivan. Married Keane or Kane.
Daniel Sullivan. Born December 21, 1865. Married Elizabeth Hartnett.

Gaquin on May 24, 1887 in Lawrence, MA. Died September 11, 1906 in
Haverhill, MA.
