Dear Passaic Co: My gggggrandfather, William CAHILL came to NJ from Cork >County, Ireland, to join the NJ Militia in 1771. He was Captain of a >Team Brigade in the Revolutionary War. After the war, he settled in >Orange Co, NY. I'm trying to find any info on him; I don't know what >county he joined the militia from, but his son Thomas/wife Eleanor were >baptizing their children in Passaic Co., between 1773-1781. It appears >as though Thomas and Eleanor migrated from Passaic>Bergen>Orange County. >Could you look up in your "Index of Wills" for any William, Thomas or >John CAHILL who died in Passaic Co.? Do you have any other suggestions >as to where I could look for birth/death/marriage records on Thomas >and/or William? (I wrote to St. Joe's church in Phila, months ago, where >Thomas' childen were baptized, (according to "Catholic Trails West,") >but no response, yet.) > Thank you very much for your time and help...-Judy Fudala Clauss, >researching: Anderson, Becker, Blaszak, Burrows, >Cahill, Callaghan, >Conklin, Davis, Decker, Dowd, Fellows, Fudala, Hardy, Hill, Johnson, >Krupa, Martine, >Martene, Meeker, Mniszak, Olden, >Oldham, Olszewska, Peksa, >Pendleton, Post, Rhodes, Settle, Speaker, TenEyck, Thurber, Tidaback > >
