Hi, Betty, I haven't been able to trace my Phagan/Fagans back to Meath. The first ancestor I have found was Phillip Phagan/Fagan who is found in the court records of Augusta, Va. in 1751. He married Martha Newman in Va. and Phillip and Marthas family, Rev. Samuel Newman and his wife moved to Berkerly, S. C. where they had received land grants from the King of England as they h ad left the old country, I presume, Ireland, to escape religious persecution by the Catholics. Do you think perhaps Phillip[ could have been a realative, maybe a brother to your ancestor? Harriette

Dear Lee: I am not sure, whether or not, we have previously corresponded about the Fagans. Do you have any information on the Fagans in Westmeath ? Also, did your Fagans emigrate to NYC before moving to NJ ? Any information you might share with me on the Fagan family would be greatly appreciated.

Samuel Newman . They traveled together with other family and friends to S. C. where they received land grants from the King of England. Their children were Moses Phagan, My line, Philip Fagan who married Jane Gilham, and traveled by horseback to Tenn. Martha Fagan who married Rev. George Tillman, George and his father in law, Phillip helped to build a church upstate S. C. in the Anderson area.

Both died on the plains before reaching Utah but two of their sons survived the trip and help ed with the church. and daughter, Rebecca Fagan who married John McMorris. Thanks for amy info.

Hi, none of these names ring a bell. My primary ancestor, Phillip Phagan ( Fagan) came from Ireland around 1730 and settled first in Augusta, Va. where he married Martha Newman, daughter of Rev. Samuel Newman and Martha Hoyle. They got a land grant and moved to S. C. Their children migrated to Tenn and Ga. My ancestor, Moses Phagan, (Fagan) was found in White Co. GA. Where several generations were located. Sorry I could not be more help. Harriette Isabella Fagan Timmerman

Hi Joyce: I, also, am seeking information on my FAGAN families. I looked thru some of my Fagan records for a Thomas Fagan, I did find some Thomas Fagans, however, none fell within the time frame that you are seeking. My Fagan family are from the Castlepollard area, County Westmeath: FAGAN, Luke, b.1898, mar. Elizabeth Halton in 1825 in Castlepollard. They had the following children: Anne, b. 1828, Mary, b. 1831, Bessie, b. 1833, Peter, b. 1836, Catherine Fagan, b. 1842 & Bridget Fagan, B. 1843. The children were baptized in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Castlepollard. The Fagan family emigrated to New York City about 1853. I have some information on them after they arrived in USA. I am trying to find additional information on the Fagan family in Ireland. There were many, many Fagan families in Westmeath, so, finding "your" family can be difficult. I visited Castlepollard in 1997 and visited several sites where Fagans had lived at one time. I also visited St. Michaels church and saw records relating to my Fagan family. I still do not know who Luke Fagan's mother, father and siblings were. I would like to hear from you regarding any information you may find on your Fagan family.

Dear list I am researching for a friend, whose FAGAN family info. starts with Edward Joseph FAGAN, born on St Helena Island 8 Oct. 1910. He married Doris Ivy SMITH who was from Durban South Africa, and they had three children, Audrey, Gwen and Brian. We would love to know more about the roots further back from Edward Joseph FAGAN, and would appreciate information or tips on how to proceed. We have found one E J FAGAN on the IGI, who may be related, but no definite connection. Also, on the SA archives, there are a few FAGAN's, born St Helena, who may also be related.

Hi, I have Asaph Fagan b 1772 prob Ireland, residing in Huntingdon Co PA. Married Elizabeth Henry and d 1824. I'm guessing he was Scot-Irish because he attended Presbyterian church. Son Henry migrated to Crawford Co OH. Other children remained in PA. Anyone have connections with this Fagan?

June 13, 2003 Hi Cammie: I would be interested in hearing about your Fagan family from England. My Fagan Family emigrated from Ireland, however, it is possible that some of the Fagans went over to England before emigrating to NYC. The Luke Fagan family came to NYC abt. 1853, I believe that they all settled in the NYC area.

Anyone know where Phillip Phagan/FAgan came from? He is found in Augusta Co., Va. in 1751, 1763 court records? He married Martha Newman, daughter of Rev. Samual Newman and they got land grants in Berkely, S. C. in 1765. Phillip later moved to the Pendleton Dist, S. C. and helped start a church there with his son in law. Thanks, Harriette Fagan Timmerman

Hi Eileen: I only see a Patrick Fagan married to Elizabeth Carroll in 1845 in the notes I have. There was a Margaret Fagan born in 1860s but she married Lorenzo Adams and resided in Ct. I just met her great-granddaughter on line and we determined we are family. My late mom was also a Margaret Fagan, but marriage name was different. The same names are repeated so often in Irish families. I believe our Westmeath Fagans are probably all related somehow - we just have to dig and dig to put the puzzle together. Sorry I cannot be of help at this time. Kathleen
