Searching for Cahill ancestors and descendants. The majority of my DNA matches seem to be in the Roscommon area, so I am hoping to connect with Cahill's in that area that might be able to help me identify my 4th Great-Grandfather's family.
My 4th great-grandfather, John Cahill, was born in Ireland about 1750 - 1760. We do not know his exact birthdate or location. He immigrated to the USA, date unknown, and died in Virginia in 1817.
The first documented mention of John Cahill was in Virginia in 1775, when he was awarded a contract to paint the county courthouse.
He settled in Reed Creek, Virginia and, In 1789, he married Dianah Garner. They had 10 children, in the following order: Nancy, Edward Peregrine, Thomas, John, Susannah, Mary (Polly), Nathaniel, Dianah, Maria and Sallie. I descend from Thomas Cahill on my mother's side. My grandmother was Annie Mae Cahill. Please contact me if you can help or have information or advice to share. Thank you. Denise Shaw, dmcshaw @ Gmail.com
