My search is for the descendants of Thomas MCCAULIFF and Mary BARRY MC CAULIFF on the WIGREEN list. Family anecdotal info relates that Thomas was a wheelwright. He and Mary immigrated from County Cork to near Syracuse, NY--Onandonga County--in about 1840. My great grandfather (William MCCAULIFF later MCAULIFF) was first born in County Cork. Son John MCCAULIFF was born in NY. Then family moved to near Chicago--probably for building of canal that connected Lake Michigan to Mississippi. Pretty sure he had worked on enhancement of Erie Canal while in NY. Two daughters born in Illinois, Catherine and Mary Ann. Family moved to Green County, Adams Township in 1850. Thomas was listed as landowner in 1860 property owner's list. Children born in WI were Thomas, Edward and Hannah. Hannah married Thomas MAHONEY and lived in Shullsberg, Lafayette County in 1900. My grandfather George MCAULIFF was born near Monroe in 1872, third child of William and Jane LEWIS (marriage in Green County in 1866). William and brother John both served in WI militia in CIVIL WAR. WM had gone to CA so was late in entering army. Have info on WM, JOHN and Mary Ann (married name DOYLE) settling in IOWA--different areas > . Would like info on Catherine, Hannah, Thomas and Edward--the latter two > might have died early in life as no records found in 1900 census search in > WI or IA. > Thomas is buried somewhere near Monroe, Mary died in IA. > Jane LEWIS was orphaned on ship from Norway as my anecdotal story goes. > Know nothing about her. > Two of the MAHONEY sons became priests (probably in Madison diocese) and I > have only pursued that superficially.
