I am researching the following BOOZAN/BEAUSANGs (4 siblings) who emigrated from County Cork, Ireland to Warren County, Illinois: 1-Bridget BOOZAN born about 1836 in County Cork; emigrated about 1857. Married Michael QUIRK, also from County Cork, in Warren County, Illinois in 1862. 2-John BEAUSANG born July 1832 or July 1834 in County Cork; emigrated in 1864. Married Johanna O'NEILL, also from County Cork, in Warren County, Illinois in 1866. 3-Thomas BOOZAN born Dec 1828 in County Cork; married Johanna MAHONEY (born about 1819 in County Cork) in about 1851 in County Cork. 5 children born in County Cork: Hannah (born Dec 1851), Thomas (born Dec 1853), John (born about 1857), Richard (born Aug 1859), and Martha/Matthew* (born about 1861). The entire family emigrated about 1866 to Warren County, Illinois. 4-Catherine BOOZAN born Dec 1839 in County Cork; married Maurice WALSH about 1866 in County Cork. 4 children possibly born in Garryvoe, County Cork: Maurice (born about 1867), Richard (born Jan 1870), David (born Aug 1872), Catherine (born about 1874). Maurice WALSH died before 1883; Catherine BOOZAN WALSH and her children emigrated to Warren County, Illinois in 1883. *Warren County Illinois Census records list daughter Martha, but History of Rawlins County, Kansas and Rawlins County cemetery transcriptions list son Matthew and no daughter Martha. If anyone can identify the parents of the above BOOZAN/BEAUSANGs, I would be most grateful for the information.  I believe they may have been born in or near Garryvoe, Ballycrenane, or Kilcredan in County Cork. ========================================================== While researching the above siblings, I also found the following BOOZAN/ BEAUSANG families (all born in Ireland) living in Warren County, Illinois.  They all arrived in the late 1850s or early 1860s. Given the rarity of the BOOZAN/ BEAUSANG name, I'm guessing that all of these BOOZAN/BEAUSANGs are related.
