Thomas and Anne also had a son John and another son(Thomas). ****************************************************************************** ******************** Another Beggin/Bagan family Iam looking for left Ireland about 1840. Iam not sure if the brothers left all together or seperately but ended up in Jo Daviess County, Illinois. Iam not sure if these Beggins are connected to the above Bagan as he ended up near them in the US. These brothers were born in Ireland: Joseph Beggin born about 1800, married Ann something, (more below). to IL Bernard Beggin,b. 1814 in Fermanagh Co.came to IL JohnBeggin born on 24 June 1819 in Fermanaugh Co., came to IL they also had a sister that died in Ireland on 16 March 1904, have no idea what name or if she married.
