The FINNEGANS FINNEGAN, Michael (ca 1809-1899) married to Margaret "Maggie" McGINNIS (and its variations) came from Ireland, possibly County Louth to St. Louis in 1868 most likely with two youngest sons Edward (ca 1847-48 to 1918) and Arthur (1849-1935). Two other sons James (died 1858) and John (ca 1843-1868) and daughter Mary (ca 1835-1904). arrived before their parents. Edward married Maria SHANLEY about 1873. Trying to find a marriage record. 8 children. Arthur married Rose FLOYD 1878. Had 8 children. These are my great grandparents. Mary married Hugh CALLAHAN about 1859. Trying to find marriage record. Had 7 children. FLOYDS Rose FLOYD married Arthur FINNEGAN (see above). She had one sister named Annie who probably came from Ireland with Rose. Two 1/2 sisters followed later, Mary FLOYD and Elizabeth "Lizzie" FLOYD. Mary married John CONNELLY who had a roofing business which is still in operation in the St. Louis area. The FLOYDS may have come from County Leitrim. Annie and Lizzie did not marry. FLOYD, Patrick married to Margaret Corbett with one child that I know of Catherine born October 1885. They appear in the Annunciation baptismal records with Rose Finnegan as godmother. This Rose may be my great grandmother if the priest used her married name instead of her maiden name. If so, I though that Patrick might be a brother or cousin. Cannot find him anywhere after this record except in a city directory. He is not named in any of the obits for the Floyds, so he may have died or is not a relative. FLEMINGS Two of Mary FINNEGAN Callahan's children married Flemings. Ann CALLAHAN (1863-1923) married John C. FLEMING (son of John Fleming and Delia Connelly) and had at least one child. Mary Agnes CALLAHAN (1870-ca1929) married James C. FLEMING (son of John Fleming and Bridget Conway). Had 9 children, 7 in St. Louis and 2 in Oklahoma. Ended up in Meridian Mississippi in the 1920s. Does anyone know why people went to Oklahoma circa 1907-1909? FREDERICK, Delia married one of my collateral CALLAHANS-Peter D. (1893-1944) Georgia
