Hi! My family has been searching for decades for information on this family line. We would love any help we could get and be so thankful!

 

What we know:

Thomas Kearney or Carney Sr was born around 1800 in Ireland (not sure exactly where)

Thomas Sr spouse is Mary Cashion born around 1800 in Ireland (also not sure exactly where)

Thomas and Mary have a son named Thomas Kearney, not sure if they have other children.

Thomas Kearney Jr. was born  around 1820 in Ireland 

Thomas Jr was married to Ellen Coleman, she was born in 1840

Their children are:

Mary A Kearney (1852)

Ellen Kearney (1855)

James Austin Kearney (1860-1896) born in New York 

Margaret Kearney (1861)

John Edward Kearney (1864)

We are looking for any information someone may have on either Thomas Kearney, Mary Cashion and Ellen Coleman. 

 

Thank you so much!

  • Rachel,

    Per RootsIreland, Thomas Kearney was born Dec. 17, 1822 in Scart, Gowran, Kilkenny, RC. His parents were Thomas Kearney and Mary Cashion. He had a brother Edmond born in 1826.

    I did not find wedding records for T. Kearney and Mary Cashion or Thomas K. and Ellen Coleman. Were the latter married in the America?

    I will check Ancestry to see if I can find more info.

    Regards- Mary

  • Rachel,

    Also per RootsIreland, there are records from the same time period of John Kearney & Winifred Cashion's three children all born in Scart, Gowran, Kilkenny:

    Anstice Carney 7 Apr 1818, parents - John Carney & Winifred Cassen

    Ellen Kearney 30 Sep 1823, parents - John Kearney & Winifred Cashion, one sponsor is Catherine Cassion

    Patrick Kearney 31 Dec 1829, parents - John Kearny & Winifred Cashion

    A possible case of brothers marrying sisters...or cousins...no way to tell.

    Griffith's Valuation records from 1850 show a James Kearney and Mary Kearney as tenants in Scart, Dungarvan civil parish, Gowran.

    I too did not find any marriage records as stated by MaryTV.

    Regards,

  • Per Ancestry, in 1865 there was a Thomas and Ellen Kearney living in Albany, NY with some of the children you identified. There are trees on Ancestry that connect Thomas born to Thomas K. and Mary Cashion married to someone else living in Missouri.

    Was your Thomas and family living in Albany. How do you know his parents' names.

    Regards- Mary

  • Some of the children you named were living in Albany, New York, in 1865 with Thomas and Ellen Kearney. Ancestry has trees connecting Mary Cashion, who is married to a Missourian, and Thomas, who was born to Thomas K.
