Actual name was Cornelius McAvinue. He was born in Cavan, I believe, married in 1836-37 in Ballyconnell, County Cavan, Ireland, moved to the Blackpool area of England, had four children, moved to US, served in the Civil War, lived in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. He was my great, great grandfather. If this info connects in any way with your McAvinia, please contact me. Thanks, Pat Young
