Notes
Note for: Mary Haggerty (Hegarty), ABT 1825 - unknown Index
Note: Birth information from LDS Ancestral File.
Fran found the name Mary for Thomas' wife, in John Mulhern Sr's death record at W-B Court House. Lists father Thomas and mother Mary.
I would love to find descendants of other Haggertys (Hegartys) from Killybegs, Co. Donegal, Ireland, that might be related to Mary and her siblings. I have no other information at all on Mary. Kathleen Mulhern Brophy has been to the church in Killybegs, and was unable to find any documents on Thomas and Mary's marriage.
