Rachel, I too would acvise you to download the total database so you could look it over. I've looked through our database this evening in an attempt to locate all the Darby's in it, but I could possibly miss some. Also you should be aware that sometimes there might be a person who may have gone by their middle name (ie ... Jonathon Darby RAGAN might be called Darby by family and friends). In a case like this he might be hard for me to locate this person in the database. Also in some cases when doing your research you might find a clue where the RAGAN name 'daughters out. There might be a mother who gives her son her father's or grandfather's name (ie ... Darby SMITH). Everyone please understand that whenever I say "RAGAN" I also mean RAGAIN/RAGON/RAGIN/REAGAN ... etc. This info will be sent in several different emails. I would also like to invite anyone else having any 'Darby' info to go ahead and submit it to the list. I've requested the database to give us 5 generations worth of descendants in each of these lines. Sometimes there aren't that many though. If you have a question about any of these lineages and wish to ask me about it please send me a private email and be sure to mention the "ID" number shown. It'll be easier for me to locate. I'll reply to the entire list so we can all share. Good Luck Cuz!

I have run into a dead-end and hope someone out there can help! I have traced my ancestors back to a Darby Reagan/Ragins/Ragan, however this is not confirmed. According to a death notice in the Spartanburg, SC newspaper, he was born in the County of Cork Ireland and immigrated to Georgia in 1764. He died in 1851 at 100 years of age. He had served in the Revolutionary War as well. No family was mentioned in the article. It did mention he lived in Newberry District before settling in Spartanburg. I believe he had a son, Benjamin, born in 1795 and married Sarah(Salley) Dangard, the daughter of Ralph Dangard. Benjamin died in 1864 in Cherokee County, AL. A lineage chart in the SC Lineages was found, that traced him back through his son, James. It also said he was born in Cork, Ireland and was a Rev. War soldier. But when reviewing the Pension Files, it states that Darby Reagan was born in 1756 in Columbia Co., GA and lived there at enlistment until 4-5 years after the war. He then moved to Newberry Dist., SC and in 1814 moved to Spartanburg, SC. In 1831 he moved to Monroe Co., TN, where he applied on March 20, 1834, at age 77. In May 1841, he moved to Greenville Dist to be near children(not named). My lineage thru Darby is as follows: Darby Ragan b. abt 1750, d. 1851 in SC Benjamin Ragan b. 1795, d. 1864 in AL Willis Ragan b. abt 1818, d. ?(last found in 1880 TN Census) Alberry Clark Ragan b. 1855 in AL, d. Sept 30, 1918 in TN William Monroe Ragan b. 1877, d. 1954 in Dickson Cty, TN Horace Clark Ragan b. 1905, d. Jan 1974 in Dickson Cty, TN Loyde Ray Ragan b. 6-5-33 Rachel Ragan b. 12-5-58, Franklin, TN Some children of Benjamin(not confirmed) are: Willis b. abt 1818 Rebecca John Riley Nathaniel George W. Sarah b. abt 1829, SC James Clark b. abt 1836 in TN Arthur b. abt 1838 in TN The 3 younger children were listed with Benjamin Ragan in the 1850 Census of Cherokee County, AL. I apologize for such a long note, but I am not sure how much information is needed when sending an inquiry to your Ragan site. I want to say Thank You very much for being out there!! God Bless You! Your new cousin, Rachel

You should (if you have not already) download his Ragan/Reagan/Regan/ Reagin GEDCOM file from the website one of the Ragan/Reagan/Regan/Reagin cousins maintains. This is at the website mentioned in the attached letter from Michael to another list member: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/billreagan/ Your letter caught my eye because, first, I was sure I remembered a "Darby" from my wife's genealogy, and, second, because of the Newberry, SC connection. I do, indeed, find a "Darby". His date of birth is about right. The "Darby" that I have was born in 1748 according to my chart (which, btw, came from Michael Ragan's master GEDCOM available at the site referred to above) as compared to your information of "about 1750". This Darby was the son of Timothy Ragan who was born about 1714 in Anne Arundel Co., MD, and died about 1768 in Baltimore. This Timothy was a son of Timothy Ragan (b. about 1678, probably in Ireland, and d. 03/14/1743/1744 in Anne Arundel Co., MD) and Mary Lary (or O'Leary) (b. about 1686, probably in Ireland, and d. 01/23/1764 in Anne Arundel Co., MD). This Timothy Ragan and Mary Lary are the progenitors of a huge number of the American Ragans. Their descendants spell the name variously as Ragan, Reagan, Regan, Reagin, etc. so don't pay to much attention to the spelling. According to my file, this "Darby" was born in 1748 and died in Greene County, TN in 1814. He married an "unknown first name) Wright" and had a number of children but none named "Benjamin" that is recorded in my file. There is shown a "son/daughter?" Ragan born in 1775. There are other "Darbys" who were born later and were descendants of the Darby named above or of a brother of that Darby. The second interesting point is Darby's sojourn in Newberry, SC. My wife's ancestor, John Reagin (Ragan) lived and died there. John's father was a son of Reason (Rezin?) Reagan (Ragan) born about 1720 in Anne Arundel County, MD, and died 1777 in Frederick Co., VA. Reaon (Rezin) was the son of the first Timothy named above. This would have made the Darby I have the first cousin of John Reagin of Newberry, SC. Newberry (Newberry District), SC and Union Co., SC, were both communities in which a large number of Quakers lived (the Reagins and large number of their Ragan progenitors and cousins were or had been Quakers), and your Darby's sojourn there strongly hints that he might have been born a Quaker if not himself a Quaker. (Many of the Ragan Quakers apparently abandoned the faith as they dispersed and lost touch with other Friends.) My wife's great great great grandmother was Elizabeth Reagin (daughter of John) who married John Edmundson. John Edmundson's great great grandfather had been William Edmundson who was the founder of Quakerism in Ireland and there some evidence that the first Timothy may have converted to Quakerism before leaving Ireland for Anne Arundel County. A number of other Quakers lived in Anne Arundel County which is rather close to Chester County, PA, the principal Quaker settlement in Pennsylvania. Elizabeth died in Newberry and is buried there. John and his children, however, migrated to Giles County, TN (which borders on Lauderdale County, AL) and many Edmundsons lived in both those counties. Other Reagins also migrated to Giles County. I think that these had either already abandoned the Quaker faith or did so within a generation or two after migrating to Giles County. All of this is fascinating to me. Hope that this helps in some way and that you make all your connections, whether or not connected to the above. Henry B.

Hello Everyone! This came from [email protected] via private email. If anyone can help let me know. Michael ============== Hello, I have just recently done a little (and I do mean a little) research into my ancestry. I was born 63 years ago in Overton County TN - the ninth of ten children of Andrew Jackson and Carrie Nation Reagan. My youngest sister and I, along with our husbands, traveled to Fentress County TN a couple of weeks ago to see if we could find out anything about our grandmother on our father's side. We are almost positive she was a Beaty and she died when my father was very young. My father was the son of Samuel Reagan and Nancy Beaty (?) Reagan and was born in Fentress County. We know that our father's grandmother's name was Margaret and think she was a Garrett (sp?) but never knew what my father's grandfather's name was. In the Fentress County 1880 census I found a family for a John Reagan whose wife was Margaret and whose oldest child was Samuel (17 at the time according to the census). There were seven other children listed in 1880 and checking with an older sister, we know this is the right family because she knew the names of these uncles and aunts of my father. I do recall hearing of some of them but my family left Overton County when I was seven and I never asked a lot of questions. Most of the children of these aunts and uncles lived in the same community in Overton County as my family did and that place is near Allons Tennessee. The church where a lot of these people are buried has a large cemetery and is named Fellowship. My father's grandmother is buried there but I have no idea where his grandfather was buried. His father was buried at a cemetery in Clay County - St. John's. After my father's mother died. his father remarried and had several other children. There were three children born between 1886 and 1889. I'm not really sure when the youngest of the three males was born but my father was the second child and was born in late 1886 or some time in 1887. He said his birth date was December 1886 but a 1900 census record showed it as some time in 1887. He had an older brother and a younger brother. The older brother was named Sherman and the younger named General Grant. Anyway, last week I went poking around in the census records in the local library and the only John Reagan I could find about the same age as the one I know to be my great-grandfather was a son of Jeremiah Reagan. This Jeremiah Reagan is listed in the 1850 census as living in Monroe County Tennessee, 66 years old and married to Rachael (no last name shown), aged 57. Both of these people were born in Virginia according to the census. Their children at the time were listed as follows: William P. - 36 Jane Ann - 29 Richard - 22 Phebe (Phoebe?) - 20 Benjamin - 19 Daniel - 17 Sabra (?) - 14 John - 12 In looking at the Ragan family database I found on Bill Reagan's website, I found a family with children with these names. There are even dates of death for some of these. I have no idea if this is the same John Reagan as the John Reagan who was living in Fentress County in 1880 (this John Reagan is shown as 41 and place of birth as Tennessee). There was another John Reagan I found who may be the John Reagan who is the son of Jeremiah. He is shown as 21 in 1860 and married to a Mary J. (age 20) and with a one-year old son named Samuel (however, my grandfather Samuel is shown as 17 in 1880 and living in Fentress County but I do not know when he married Nancy Beaty (?) but must have been by some time in 1886. If this is all very confusing to you, then it is to me also. I was hoping you could shed some light on the John Reagan who I found listed in Fentress County TN in 1880, age 41, married to Margaret (Garrett?) and had eight children as follows: Samuel........17 (my grandfather) Joel G..........15 (my sister who still lives in Overton County said there was one called "Gabe" and I ..............................suspect this is the one.) Abraham......14 Sarah...........12 William..........9 George..........7 Eliza.............5 (married a Claborn or Clayborn) Martha J........2 If you have any information at all about any of these people, I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time. Mabel Anne (Reagan) Scott

Hello: Seeking any information on an R.C. and Sarah Reagin. R.C. was born 1788 somewhere in N.C. and died 9-20-1848 in Rome, Floyd, GA Sarah S. Reagin (don't know maiden name) was born 1792 Rome, Floyd, GA and died 5-26-1879 in Rome, Floyd GA. I have no idea who R.C.'s parents were and what those initials stand for, or if he had any siblings. I do know he had one child born, Robert Longshore Reagin, 1814 in Rome, Floyd GA. Anyone come across these names in your research? Thanks! Tracy

HOY COUSANS ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!!!!!! Still desperately seeking info on John Ragan who might possibly be my gggfth. My ggfth William m Jane (Janette?) Robinson 18 Jan 1812 in Caroline Co., Va.. Marriage record did not list witness or parents. However, John Ragan witnessed the marriage of Nancy Ragan to Edmund Guthrie 3 years previous 24 Jan 1809. There were several other marriages in Caroline Co. up until 1835. John does not witness. John and William were listed alphabetically, ages consistent with father and son on the 1820 census. William appears on the 1930 census, John does not. A John Ragan fr Caroline Co received 2 financial warrants for militia svc. 31 July 1783. Williqm migrated with some of his family to Anderson Co., Ky. ca 1836. WHO WAS THIS JOHN RAGAN? WHO WERE HIS SIBLINGS AND CHILDREN? WHO WAS HIS WIFE? Could he have had family in adjacent counties: Spotsylvania, Stafford, King George, Essex, King William, Hanover? Caroline Co., Va. is a burned county and records are scarce. We need wills and/or deeds. Thanks--Walt Reagan

Regards, Ruth ==== CountyCork Mailing List ==== No flames allowed. ============> Second Msg <========= The Stonemason O'Regans by Brian O'Regan The Regan family of stonemasons originated from the Doneraile area in northeast Cork. Today their descendants are scattered around the world. Most of them can trace their family roots to a small stone cottage in Carkerbeg townland, Parish of Doneraile, Barony of Fermoy, built by the stonemason family in the 1700s. It is on the north side of the main Kildorrery-Doneraile Road, about one-third of a mile east of the Labbavacon bridge. Stonemason Regans were also located in two adjacent townlands, Park North and Park South. The Regans were Catholics who attended the Chapel at Shanballymore, about two and a half miles from the cottage. Shanballymore Area Stonemasons In the early 1800s there were believed to be seven or more brothers in the family of Regan stonemasons: Jeremiah 1805-1889; James 1808-1886; Maurice 1809-1889; Denis 1810-1887; John born c1811; Michael b c1812; and William 1813-1855. Daniel, Patrick and Cornelius may also have been other brothers. Daniel was listed with some seven acres of land in Carkerbeg townland in the Tithe Applotment Survey, November 1833. The known sisters were Mary and Ellen (Mrs. William Cleary). The family head is believed to have been Thomas Regan of whom no record could be found. Doneraile's early church records, which include the Chapel at Shanballyore, and did not commence until about 1817, list a large number of baptisms of stonemason Regan children of Carker, Carkerbeg and Carker Pike (believed to be Park North at the junction of the road to Shanballymore) as.well as Mallow Lane and New Road, and later Main Street, in Doneraile. The records sometimes recorded the same parents living at more than one townland, which may have been the case depending on family size and growth. Some of these baptisms are recorded in this document and others are attached. Col. James G. White, in his historical and topographical notes, credits the brothers with the masonry work on the handsome entrance gates of Creagh Castle, formerly Castle Saffron, in the parish of Doneraile. The date 1827 is still legible on the gateway. The stonemason Regans were most likely employed in 1816 in the building of the present castle and the high stone wall around the demesne. The castle, about a mile east of Doneraile, on the banks of the river Awbeg, was the residence of Captain John W. Brazier-Creagh of the North Cork Militia in the 1821 census. His family had acquired the 147 acres property in 1788. Leaving the Homestead Most of the brothers moved from Doneraile in the summer of 1834. Four brothers settled near Watergrasshill, about 10 miles northeast of Cork City. They did the masonry work on the Killaspugmullane Church of Ireland on the town's main street. It was built in 1838 by Henry Brasier-Mitchell, late of Creagh Castle. He had changed his name from Creagh to the maiden name of his wife to preserve the estate of Mitchell's Fort, near Watergrasshill. The brothers also built the long stone wall that runs through the main street of the town of Glenville, five miles west of Watergrasshill. They were Jeremiah, Maurice, Denis, and Michael. They may have been accompanied by another brother, Daniel. Their sisters Mary and Ellen moved with them. Ellen married William Cleary and raised a family: James, baptized April 8, 1839 (Mary Regan a sponsor); and John, baptized March 3, 1844. Mary married Thomas Foley and their son James was baptized December 1, 1841. James Regan and Ellen Regan were sponsors. Family in Watergrasshill Area Jeremiah settled on the townland of Ardnageehy West, Watergrasshill Town, Parish of Ardnageehy. He married Ellen Baker and had issue: John 1836; and Mary 1839. In the Griffiths evaluation in 1853, he was leasing a house from James Dunlea who leased property from the owner, Grice R. Smith. Maurice married Ellen Calnan and had issue: Margaret, baptized December 27, 1840; John, baptized November 14, 1842; Mary, baptized November 10, 1844 (sponsors Daniel and Mary Regan); and Hannah, baptized June 27, 1852. He died in 1889 at the age of 80 years, Ellen having predeceased him at age 70 in 1882. Their son John Maurice emigrated to America after 1870 and was believed to be a priest in Ohio. Their daughter Mary Ann, emigrated to America in 1864. She married Thomas MALONEY, and died in 1875 in New York City. Their children were son Edward, born December 25, 1868 in Jersey City, died January 1940; and daughter Ellen, born 1870 in New York City and died in 1893. Griffiths Valuation of 1853 did not list Maurice in the Watergrasshill area, however, the baptisms of their children are all recorded in the Watergrasshill Catholic church registers. A Maurice Regan was located in Kilcolman West, Barony of Fermoy, Parish of Doneraile in the Griffiths Valuation. He leased 251+ acres from James Hill. John Lenihan, Margaret Lenihan, and James Regan were sublessors. Patrick Regan leased a house on the townland from Andrew Croker. In 1853, Denis, who also raised racehorses, had 36+ acres in the townland of Graigue West, near Watergrasshill. His first wife is believed to have been Bridget Kelly. They had a son Patrick, baptized 22 October 1837 with his uncle Jeremiah as a sponsor. A second Patrick, was baptized 22 March 1838 with Patrick Regan as a sponsor; and William baptized 2 February 1840. Denis later married Ellen Clifford at Ballinaclog, and had a family of six children, listed by baptismal dates: Michael 9 January 1859; Denis 15 August 1860; Maurice 24 September 1862; Jeremiah 7 December 1864; Ellen 22 May 1866; and William 22 March 1868. Their son Denis raised the horse Denny which in 1929 was acclaimed champion hunter at the Dublin horse show, and was awarded first prize at Middleton, Cork. The elder Denis died 20 November 1887 and is buried at Ballyneglogh, six miles north of Cork City. Buried nearby are John O'Regan of West Graigue, Glenville, who died December 26, 1953 at age 82, and Elizabeth Regan who died February 15, 1930. Daniel is recorded in the Watergrasshill Catholic baptismal registers as having had three wives: 1) Mary Cahill, whose son Daniel was baptized 18 October 1840; 2) Bridgid Wood by whom there were two children, Honora baptized 16 July 1843, and John, baptized 27 February 1845; 3) Honora Higgins by whom there were six children. They were, with baptismal dates: Elizabeth 28 November 1852; Mary 2 April 1854; Ellen 1 June 1862; Daniel 3 October 1864; Cornelius 31 December 1867; and Hannah, 29 April 1871. Michael Regan leased houses 28, 29 and 30 from Henry Brasier-Mitchell in 1851 in the town of Watergrasshill. The Griffiths Valuation taken in 1853 recorded that he was located on Glenville townland, part of the town of Watergrasshill.. He occupied a house and corn mill leased from Daniel Denman. He and his wife Elizabeth had two children: David 1854 and Elizabeth 1857. Daniel Regan and Johanna Regan were also listed, individually, in the town of Watergrasshill. In the County Cork Directory for 1875, listed as landholders, were Denis at Ardnageeby, and Michael in Watergrasshill. Living at Ardnageeby in 1898 were Denis and Michael Regan, according to the postal directory for that year. Denis, the son of Denis Regan and Ellen Clifford (above), married Margaret Cronin of Killuntin Townland, near Glenville. He died 29 December 1942 and is buried at Dunbollogue, six miles North of Cork City. Their children were: Michael, born 15 August 1906, died in 1987; Denis, deceased; Jeremiah, born c1909, who went to Australia about 1925, and is living in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia; William, born 1910, deceased in England; Maurice, born 1912, living in Bath, England; and Nell who lived in the Town of Fermoy until her death in 1986. The great-great-grandchildren of Denis, the children of Michael, still live at Ardnageeby. They are Denis and Michael, who farm, and Margaret, who with her late brother Jeremiah, who died in early 1993, followed in the footsteps of their gggf Denis, and father Michael, by breeding and raising hunting and race horses. Margaret has a black-bordered certificate issued by the Commissioners of Emigration of the State of New York informing the recipient that Dennis Regan, 35, arrived from Liverpool by the Steamship Arizona on October 3rd 1887, and died February 25, 1888 at 4:45 a.m., in the State Emigrant Refuge and Hospital, Ward's Island, New York City. He may have been the son of Maurice Regan 1809-1889. John to Doneraile John, rather than follow his brothers to Watergrasshill or America in 1834, moved into the Town of Doneraile. He married Mary Lynch (another Mary Lynch was married at the same time to Timothy Regan of Clogher townland - no known relationship), and had one son John Jr., born in 1853, who married Sarah Neenan and had seven sons and four daughters born between 1876 and 1894. The children and baptismal dates were: William 21 May 1876; Denis 22 July 1878; John 25 July 1880; Andrew J 25 February 1883; Cornelius 12 October 1884; Michael 15 August 1886; Johanna 14 March 1888; Jeremiah 25 August 1889; Mary 24 May 1891 (William Regan, sponsor); Sarah 4 June 1893 (Denis Regan, sponsor); and, Eliza 5 August 1894. Griffiths Valuation of July 1851 reported Cornelius Regan at Carkerbeg: William Regan on New Road, and Mary Regan on Main Street, both in Doneraile; Laurence Regan, Park North; and John Regan, Park South. They were all of the stonemason family. Church records for that period also show Cornelius on New Road, and William on Mallow Lane 1848 and Doneraile 1853. Mary Regan may have been the widow of Edward shown on New Road in April 1851. Guys 1898 directory listed two John O'Regans as builders: the son of John in Doneraile, who had a large family (see above), and a cousin John at Carker Pike. All of John Jr.'s sons were trained as stonemasons and builders. A grandson and two great randsons are currently builders in Buttevant. A cousin is Patrick O'Regan, a builder at Killavullen. William to Australia The youngest Regan brother, William, is believed to be the same William Regan, a stonemason, who gave his birthplace as Mallow, Cork, when he was married in Australia on September 19, 1840. He married Margaret, daughter of Michael Taggart, born in Swords, County Dublin. They had five children: William c1841; Catherine 1842; John 1845; James Edwin 1849; and Michael Edward 1852. William was a principal involved in a number of profitable land transactions in the early 1850s involving sections 47 and 513 at Glenelg, South Australia. The deeds listed him as a stonemason. The community today is a beachside holiday resort known as Adelaide's City by the Sea. In his will in March 1853, he left all his real and personal estate to his wife and children. It was likely done just prior to his departure for the Victoria goldfields. In late August 1851, diggers James Regan, a young man, and John Dunlop, a septuagenarian, had stumbled on surface deposits of gold at Ballarat's Golden Point. They turned the first sods of one of the richest alluvial goldfields in the history of the world. William Regan and his son, William, were attracted to Daisy Hill, a principal goldfield that was part of the famed Ballarat-Bendigo diggings. The father died at the Back Creek, Daisy Hill, diggings on January 27, 1855. His son reported the death in a notarized declaration, to settle his father's estate. He said his father was buried at Daisy Hill. No records of the burial or actual place of interment exist. The burial place is listed under Amherst Old Cemetery for which there are no records. Some gravestones survive. William's descendants still live in the Adelaide district. They include Father Vincent Regan, parish priest at Mile End near Adelaide, and Joan Whitbread in Adelaide. William may have been the same William Regan, 21, town labourer, who had been found guilty on 16 May 1834 in Cork city, of the theft of clothes, and sentenced to seven years transportation to the penal colony of New South Wales. He arrived from Ireland on August 31, 1835 on the ship Hero as convict number 5-1911, indent number 108. The 462-ton Hero had sailed under command of Master Henry Dowsan March 15, 1835 from Dublin. It was a 169-day voyage by way of Rio de Janiero with 202 males aboard. This event is believed to solve the mystery as to why the brothers left Carkerbeg townland about the same time. It also helps explain a family story handed down from James, my great grandfather. He told his eldest son that William came running into the field as he worked and said: "James, don't turn around, I need your coat, the soldiers are after me." James went back to the cottage and told his wife Mary to pack up as they were leaving that night to get a boat to America. A local historian in Glenville said when the soldiers were after one brother, they went after all brothers. James to Canada James married Mary McCarthy who was born in 1812 at or near Kilmallock, County Limerick, about 13 miles north of Doneraile. They emigrated to Canada in 1834. He was listed in the 1838 Census of Kings County, Parrsboro Township, as head of a family of four, including one male under six years of age (Thomas b 1836 in Nova Scotia), and one female under 14 years of age, likely a servant as Mary was pregnant with their second son, Timothy born in 1838. Their other children were Daniel 1841; Anna 1842; Mary 1850; and James 1852. Some time later the family made their way to Minudie, N.S., the site of high quality blue limestone and the source of world-renowned grindstones. James may have been a stonecutter with Francis O'Regan who had arrived in Saint John,N.B., in 1819, 15 years before him. Francis, in 1826, received a land warrant with three others, including Laurence O'Regan, 21, who had emigrated from Londonderry a year earlier. In the 1840s he worked for Amos "King" Seaman, a noted entrepreneur at Minudie, N.S. It is near the town of Joggins, on the shore of Chignecto Bay. James and family lived on a farm at Minudie, and Francis lived at Ragged Reef, a few miles away. The latter included a stone quarry. Cousins in Canada There were other O'Regans who are believed to have been cousins. All followed the family craft of masonry work or stonecutting. James had a family of six children born at Minudie, N.S. between 1837 and 1862. Francis had a large family of 12 children, all born before 1836. He and Lawrence lived a couple of miles away near Joggins, N.S. Lawrence, who moved to Hopewell, N.B., after marriage to Mary McCunley, had nine children. They were: Denis 1831; Catherine 1832; Laurence 1836; Edward 1838; Elizabeth 1841; John and Mary Ann 1844; and Hugh 1849. Francis, born 1792 at Kilrea, County Londonderry, and his wife Bridget Larkin, born 1790 at Castle Dawson, County Londonderry, had four children born in Ireland: Peter 1812; Roseanna 1813; James 1815; and John 1817. Born in Nova Scotia were: Susan 1820; Denis 1822; Peter 1824; Charles 1826; Lawrence 1829; Francis 1831; Elizabeth 1833; and Bridget 1835. Laurence on 23 Oct 1834 received a land grant of 209 acres, four miles southeast of Chapman's Creek in Albert County, N.B. Other Cousins in Canada In addition to James, Francis and Laurence, there were at least three other stonemason Regan families in Canada in the first half of the 19th century. They worked for Colonel John By in the building of the 131-mile Rideau Canal between 1826 and 1832. It linked the Ottawa River and Lake Ontario, and was an important transportation route in the 1800s. They were: John Regan who, in 1829, listed his half-brother John Crosbie and family of Bannagher, Kings County, as potential emigrants if government support was received. He may have been the person of that name in an 1817 census of the Perth Military Settlement in Ontario. No other records have been found; Patrick Regan Ragan) who leased a lot in 1827 (Lot 23, Kent Street); of whom no other information was found, and, Henry Regan, who is believed to have had a farm called Regan's Hill near the Hurdmans Bridge over the Rideau River, and who later settled in the Carlsbad Springs area, near Ottawa, where his descendants live today. Another John Regan 1817-1895 was a stonemason and builder in Belleville and Ottawa, both in Ontario. He married 1) Jane Black 1823-1850, and 2) Julia Cunningham 1830-1895, and had children: Ellen 1848; Jane 1852; Mary Ann 1856; and Elizabeth 18--. Cornelius O'Regan, a stonemason believed by a descendant to have been born in Bandon, Cork, in 1822, married Fannie McManus about 1849 and became one of the first settlers at Ennishore, Grand Falls by 1851 when he was enumerated for the census with Fannie and daughter Julia, 13 months old. The settlement was named by Cornelius after what may have been his Irish place of origin1. He and Fannie had 16 children: Julia 1849; Julia 1860-1947; Mary 1862-1926; John 1865-1920; Daniel 1866; Francis Ellen (Nellie) 1866; Michael Edward 1868-1918; Catherine; Joseph 1870-1924; William 1871-1881; Cornelius 1877-1902; Agnes 1877-1882; James Thomas 1880-1891; Bertha 1882-1901; Twins Annie 1885-1957 and Elizabeth Gertrude. His stonemason artistry was applied to bridges between Saint John and Grand Falls, including the construction in 1860 of support towers for an "iron radiating tension bridge" suspended over the gorge at Grand Falls. A history book described the towers as a work of art. They were, it was reported, unnecessarily destroyed when a more modern bridge replaced it in 1914. There was a John Regan b c1811, and Hannah Regan b c1821, both in Ireland, and son Denis, a stonecutter, b c1844 in New Brunswick, living in Saint John's Wellington or Kings Ward. Other Cousins in Ireland Other cousins in Ireland are identified by startling physical resemblances and mannerisms to James' descendants in Canada, but the actual relationship is unknown. Two examples are Donal and Rita O'Regan, the descendants of Cornelius O'Regan, who live in Tralee. During a conversation with Donal in 1983, I had an eerie feeling of listening to my father. He had the same facial features, head and hand gestures, and manner of expressing himself as my father who died in 1960. Rita's facial features and hair style bore a striking likeness to those of my sister Norah. Rita, the wife of Bob O'Connor, explained that her grandparents, Cornelius, born about 1849, and Mary Ann Gordon, who had 16 children, arrived in Tralee in June 1881 from Doneraile (a Cornelius occupied the stonemason cottage at Carkerbeg in 1853). The 12 surviving children, all born in Tralee, were Patrick, Cornelius, Daniel, Thomas,. Michael, Mary, Norah, Margaret, Elizabeth, Hannah Bridget, Michael and Catherine. The names are the same as those found in the O'Regan stonemason families. The facial features of Anthony O'Regan, born in Killavullen townland, Roscommon county in 1809, who became vicar general of the St. Louis diocese, and the third bishop of Chicago 1854-1858, are identical to those of my uncle, Anthony Brian O'Regan, who lived in Ottawa more than 100 years later. The bishop died in Brompton, London and was buried in the churchyard at Cloonfad, county Mayo in November 1866. An O'Regan widow, living in the cottage with the portrait of the bishop, said the family originated in the Doneraile area.

Hello Cousins, I awoke this morning about 4am from a rather restless sleep and decided to check the mail ;-) Everyday I have to juggle *many* emails so if I don't answer a question or inquiry you've sent please be patient with me. This morning I found 644 emails in my box! Sometimes I'll just open the ones that come from our RAGAN-ROOTS group to see if there's anything I need to jump on and let everything else go. So again please have patience. And if you've sent something via private mail awhile back and I haven't answered sent it again. After about a month I think the AOL software will delete old emails. So you'll need to understand that your private mail just could sort of 'get lost in the shuffle'. I subscribe to a lot of different genealogy lists, most in the digest mode, and I'll just scan the index to see if there's anything that looks like to would be interesting to me or you. If not I just "keep on truckin' ". ;-) One of my lists this morning (JACKSON-D) had an interesting article about the Gregorian calendar. In case you didn't know, the known world used to operate on the Julian calander (for Julius Ceasar) then it was switched to the Gregorian Calendar (for Pope Gregory). I've discussed this with a few of you in the past so I thought I'd send this to the list. Here it is: ========================= I thought this was very intresting and thought it could answer some of the questions with the more than one year dates. Sheryl READ THE ENTIRE TUTORIAL ON THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/dates.html Written for genealogist and historians {EXCERPT] The first day of the year used to begin on 25 March in conjunction with the Feast of the Annunciation. It was not until the dates given below that the beginning of the year was changed to 1 January. 1522 Venice 1544 Germany 1556 Spain, Portugal, Roman Catholic Netherlands 1559 Prussia Denmark, Sweden 1564 France 1579 Lorraine 1583 Protestant Netherlands 1600 Scotland 1725 Russia 1721 Tuscany In your family history researches, if you come across a year written as 1840-45 you rightly interpret that as meaning "in the period from 1840 to 1845," the years being understood to be inclusive. If you see a date written as 2nd March 1735/6 you might think it means the year is uncertain even though the date is known. Wrong! This way of writing a date has a special meaning which all historians need to know about. This article explains how this apparent vagueness is actually a means of specifying a date with precision and without ambiguity, and why we need, not only to understand the notation used, but also to use it ourselves if we are to avoid being misunderstood. In England the Gregorian calendar was not adopted until 1752, and the start of year date was changed to 1st January by the same Act of Parliament. The day following 31st December 1751 was decreed to be 1st January 1752 and 2nd September 1752 was followed by 14th September. As England had taken the year 1700 to be a leap year, the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars now amounted to eleven days. The changes were to apply to all the Dominions of the British Crown, including of course the North American colonies, and will be the ones most of interest to family historians reading this article. Note that, whatever notation is used, it only has meaning in the period 1st January to 24th March each year (and of course for England and its colonies only before 1752). From 25th March to 31st December the year number is the same in both Styles so no special indication is necessary ======================== If you're fortunate enough to be able to track your family back that far you should find this article helpful.
