Kristie, There was a Frank Magowan, age 42, b Ire @1868 working as a farmhand in Ridgefield Township, Fairfield Co., Connecticut in 1910. He emigrated from Ireland about 1896. He was listed as single. He was one of three lodgers living with a ?Vergere Connell, age 19, male, single. The other lodgers were Stephen McLoughlin 43 and Stephanell Arcadio, 22. I don't see him in later US censes.
