Subscriber since last spring... never saw one mention of any McSherry's. So this is a longshot... Need info on the McSherry's from County Cavan. My g-g-g grandfather was Patrick McSherry, a tailor, who married Catherine Smith or Smyth, who, we believe, was also from County Cavan. The McSherry's, we're told, originally came to Ireland during some persecution (Reign of Terror?) period in France, and changed their name to McSherry to fit in with other Irish names Patrick and Catherine emigrated, with small children, to New York City around 1850. Their son, Matthew, married Elizabeth Chenet( her father was Pierre Chenet- no info on that family either). Their daughter, Catherine, married William Hahn. Their daughter, Margaretta, married Clarence Grant. Their daughter, Jeanne, married Richard O'Neill. They are my parents. Thanks Todd

I do both Cavan (Lovett & Phillips) & Fermanagh (McElroy & Donnelly) research but plenty of NYC research. A Thomas McSherry witnessed my ggrandmother (Delia Phillips-McElroy) Civil War Pension request for her deceased husband Bernard. He (Thomas) signed it Nov 18th 1890 while living at 334 E 34th St. I did some further research and found a Thomas McSherry (26) in the 1880 NYC-federal census Living with his Mother Catharine McSherry (55). My notes say they lived at 217 E 59th St. Maybe this helps Todd? If this is your McSherry, keep me in the loop as have no idea why he was close to Delia McElroy? Now can anyone help me find Cavan records on my ggrandmother Delia/Brid.??? She and her Mother Francis/Mary Lovett-Phillips came over in 1851 to NYC. No sign ever of Peter Phillips from Cavan, Delias father, Francis's husband? -----Original Message----- From: Todd ONeill [mailto:document@choiceonemail.com] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 1:55 PM To: IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [IRL-CAVAN] Roll Call List..
