Biography

• Death: 1931; California

• Note: In 1880 John is the 16 year old son of Thomas and Susan. In 1900 and 1920 John remained in Elgin, Illinois. He was a machinist in 1900 living at 309 Dwight St in Elgin. In 1920 he was a toolmaker at a match factory and lived alone at 307 Dwight St. (I'm guessing this is probably the same house?). He is said to be married, rather than a widower, but his wife is not listed there (perhaps she was visiting elsewhere and hence not enumerated?). Can't find him in 1930.
• Note: Nicolina (Lena) Hansen; In 190 John and Lena were said to have been married 8 years, but in 1910 said to be 16 years.

James Haggerty

Biography

• Birth: About 1740; County Cork, Ireland

• Marriage: 1767; Ann (Nancy) Medley; Bandon, County Cork, Ireland

• Note: James was a clockmaker and resident of Cork.
• Note: Ann (Nancy) Medley; Haggerty, James, Mr., Clock-maker, of this City [Cork], to Miss Nancy Medley, of Bandon, in Bandon – (CEP 22/6/1767): http://www.corkancestors.com/Deathsmarriages.htm
  This seems likely to be the James Haggerty-Ann Medley marriage listed in MLB 1766--at one time I thought this James might be from Kilmeen, but now seems unlikely as he was a clock-maker who lived in Cork.

John Heagerty

Parents

Biography

• Birth: Before 1775; County Cork, Ireland

• Note: There was a John Heagerty of Ardfield Parish in the Flax Growers' List, published in 1796. In 1796 the Irish Linen Board published a list of almost 60,000 individuals who had received awards for planting a specified acreage of flax. Those who planted one acre were awarded 4 spinning-wheels, and those growing 5 acres were awarded a loom. (http://www.alphalink.com.au/~datatree/wolfs17.htm) This could be John the shoemaker/bootmaker of Clonakilty, although assumed birth date may not fit--see separate listing.
