Hi, My G-Grandfather,Thomas F. Kerrigan left Ireland in 1863/64 and lived in Manhattn,NY. In 1873 a Mr.McNurney an alderman and wealthy horseshoer enjoyed hearing Thomas play the Pipes. He invited Thomas to Chicago where he set him up in the saloon business. He and McNurney often played the pipes together. Francis O'Neill of Chicago, wrote a story about Thomas F. Kerigan in his book " Irish Mnstrels and Musicians ". Through research, I discovered that Thomas F. Kerrigan had an infant son, named Thomas, who died in Chicago and was laid to rest in the gravesite of Mr.McNurney. I have not completed this research. Does the name Susan Barry seem familiar? Thank you, Ursula
