John McCAFFREY , pres of St Mary's seminary, whose family came from Termonamongan, Tyrone). By 1845 Patrick and Mary were living in WashDC, eventually in Georgetown, where Patrick was sexton of Holy Trinity RC church. Mary's cousin Rev Peter B. O'FLANAGAN, was pastor there. Mary and Patrick had children: Mary, Peter Augustus, Charles I., Patrick Francis, Ann Virginia, Elizabeth, Catherine, Mary Catherine, Edward Francis. Contact me if this rings any bells for anyone.
