I have someone in Albany, NY, actually this very week, looking for his parents names. It is very possible, but yet to be confirmed his parents were Daniel McCarthy and Mary Cahill. Mary's first husband was William sullivan, he died before their first child was born, named Mary Sullivan. Mr. McCarthy came from Ireland to marry her and I only have 4 of the youngest names of their 10 children, which was William, born cir. 1858-1860, Ellen b. 5/10/1861, Louise and Emma b. 1867 d. 1951 Cohoes, NY
