In researching my McGovern ancestors I transcribed alot of the McGovern's living in Manhattan in 1850. For the benefit of my fellow McGovern's I decided to complete the transcription. I am listing below all the McGovern's I could find in the 1850 census for Manhattan. In the census index there are many names that looked very similiar to McGovern, ex. McGarvin, McGaven, etc. but I decided not to include in this list. I found approx. 60 McGovern families. My ancestors are the McGovern's in Ward 4, page 243. They arrived in Manhattan on March 9, 1849 on the Ship Nestorian. They were natives of Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim, Ireland. Hope this list will be helpful to someone.
