According to the 1900 census, she was born in Michigan, her father was born in Ireland, her mother was born in Michigan. I was told her maiden name was McConnell from a family interview. She married John Cavanaugh between 1880 and 1883. In 1880 he's listed as a railroad worker in a boarding house in Martin, Allegan County, MI (listed as J. Cavennaugh). In the 1900 Census, their first child, Ida (?) was born Dec. 1883. They were living in Watson Twp, Allegan County, MI. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
