The earliest I know of them in Norwich is 1864.They lived in the Greeneville section of 3rd ward district. They had at least five children, Mary who married a Monahan, Martin who married Mary Trihy, Michael who married Catherine Monahan, Richard, and William. There may also be a Timothy and a Catherine. Four of Michael's sons ran the Hourigan Brother's Funeral Home and a furniture/carpet store. They were Joseph W.(b. 1892), John A. (b. 1879) who married Claudia Morency, James (b.abt 1888) who (I think might have) married Mary Moriarty, and Michael H. Hourigan. There is also a Richard Hourigan VFW Post #594 in the same area of Norwich, of which I would like to know the history of the vet it was dedicated to. My first impression is Richard Hourigan who married Nora Hasler. They once owned a service station. He was the son of Martin Hourigan and Mary Trihy and believed to have been in WWI. Martin and Mary also had "Nellie" who married John J. Somers, (they removed to Bridgeport), John T., who married Mary Clark, George, who married Ann Murphy, Martin Jr., Two Williams(first one died at age 3)and James "Edward" Hourigan who removed to NY City and died 1955. Any information of this Hourigan Family would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance. Rob [email protected]
