McGoughs and McGues in the 1860 Census of the United States by Hugh McGough

These are my notes on McGough and McGue families in the 1860 census of the United States. McGues are included because that surname usually represents a family whose name was recorded as McGough or McGeough in Ireland. McGows are listed only when other information identifies them as McGoughs, since McGow is most often a form of McGowan. When a surname is listed in another census as McGough or McGeough, I list it here; for example, the John McGoue who is listed in this 1860 census of Queensbury, Warren county, New York, is listed as John McGeough in the 1870 census of the same place.

For a listing of McGoughs in the United States after the Civil War, see my page: McGoughs and McGues in the 1870 Census of the United States. There is some repetition in cross references between this 1860 page and my 1870 page, but I have more often placed biographical material in my page on the 1870 census rather than here.

The states in which I found a form of McGough in the 1860 census are listed alphabetically. Within a state, counties are listed alphabetically, and then townships within counties are alphabetized. I found no McGoughs or McGues in the 1860 census of Dakota Territory, Florida, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Utah.

I have tried to make connections between persons listed in the 1860 census and enlistments in the Union or Confederate armies in the Civil War. Several of these are nothing more than remote possibilities. I have included some places of enlistments of McGoughs in the Union or Confederate armies in the Civil War even though I found no listing there in the 1860 census. My hope is that future rearch will provide more information on these persons.

[According to OneWorldTree, Thomas Mague was born on June 9, 1813, in Ireland, and died on March 20, 1899, in West Boylston, Massachusetts. He married Laura Anne Campbell on November 8, 1841. This family is listed in my page on the 1850 census under Glocester, Providence county, Rhode Island. See: Descendants of Thomas Mague and Thomas Mague Home Page. See also: Descendants of Robert and Elizabeth Mansfield (continued—Descendants from Robert Mansfield to Phineas Campbell b 1793 d 1833 and Laura Brown © 1996 by Len Campbell).]

Laura Mague, age 41, born in Massachusetts. [Laura Anne Campbell, born October 29, 1817; died March 17, 1897. According to OneWorldTree, her parents were Phineas (or Phinehas) Campbell (who is said in OneWorldTree to have been born on March 16, 1793, in Bedford township, Hillsborough county, New Hampshire) who died died on June 10, 1833, in Lunenberg, Massachusetts,* and Laura Brown who was born on April 13, 1797, in Sterling, Worcester county, Massachusetts, and died on January 15, 1871, in Providence, Rhode Island.« (Leonard Campbell of Center Harbor, New Hampshire, who has researched the primary sources, says that he has found no evidence that the Phineas Campbell who was born to James and Elizabeth (Burns) Campbell† in Bedford township, New Hampshire, on March 16, 1793‡ was the Phineas Campbell who was the father of Laura Campbell Mague. See, for example, his email of September 11, 2004. He concludes that information to the contrary on OneWorldTree is wrong (or at least unproved). Leonard points out that in the 1880 census of Providence, Rhode Island, Phineas' youngest son, Daniel Putnam Campbell, listed as age 48, is said to have been born in Massachusetts to a father born in New Hampshire and a mother born in Massachusetts (roll  T9_1211, page 98, line 13; Family History Film 1255211). Leonard counters this by pointing out that, in the 1800 census of Providence, Rhode Island, Daniel's brother, Henry J. Campell, listed as age 51, reported that his father was born in Massachusetts. See Leonard's web page: Phineas Campbell Family.» The Phineas Campbell who was the father of Laura Campbell McGough is listed in the 1820 census of Lunenburg, Worcester county, Massachusetts, as Phinehas Campbell, age 26 to 45, in a family of 5 (M-33, roll 54, page 91); and in the 1830 census of the same place as Phinchas Campbell (indexed by Ancestry.com as Pinchas), 30 to 40 years old, in a family of 8 (roll 68, page 28).± Massachusetts Marriages, 1633–1850 on Ancestry.com lists the marriage of Phinehas Campbell and Laura Brown in Sterling, Worchester county, Massachusetts, on April 18, 1817, citing Family History Library, Salt Lake City, UT, Film # 0721193. (One World Family Tree says April 10, 1817.) Rhode Island Deaths, 1630–1930 on Ancestry.com lists the death of Laura Campbell, age 73, widow of Phineas Campbell, on January 15, 1871 (in Providence, Rhode Island). The same source lists the death of two sons of Phineas Campbell and Laura Campbell: Henry J. Campbell at age 59 on June 25, 1888; and Daniel P. Campbell at age 67 on February 12, 1898. Laura Anne Campbell and Thomas Mague were married on November 8, 1841, in Danielsonville, Connecticut, which is now Danielson, a borough of the town of Killingly.

[* Lunenburg, Massachusetts, is about 30 miles south by southwest of Bedford, New Hampshire.

« The primary source of this information cited by OneWorldTree is Scott and Holly Jayes' Family Tree. (But that tree, in 2009, shows the birth of Phineas Campbell on April 13, 1797, in Sterling, Massachusetts.)

† Jo Kilbourn says that Merrimack History reports a marriage on June 13, 1786, of James Campbell to Elizabeth Burns, daughter of John and Anna McQueston Burns of Bedford, born on February 19, 1759; see History of Bedford, New Hampshire, from 1737 (Rumford Printing Company, Concord, N.H., 1903) page 876, on Google.com books. The same book, at page 761, records the death in Bedford of a James Campbell, age 78, in November of 1851. The death in 1855 (possibly December) of Mrs. James Campbell is recorded on page 763.

‡ The birth of Phineas Campbell on March 16, 1793, is recorded under "Vital Statistics" in the History of Bedford at page 707).

» The Phineas Cambell who was born on March 16, 1793, in Bedford township, New Hampshire, was an older brother of Henry Campbell, who was born in Bedford on December 4, 1801. History of Bedford, page 710. The Phineas Campbell who was the father of Laura Anne Campbell Mague saw his son-in-law, Thomas Mague, and daughter Laura, name their third child, born on July 27, 1846, in Killingly/Danielson, Windham county, Connecticut, Henry T. Mague. This offers a hint that these two Phineas Cambell's may have been the same person.

± The 1820 census of Henniker (about 36 miles from Bedford), Hillsborough county, New Hampshire (on July 1, 1823, this part of Hillsborough county became part of the new Merrimack county), lists a Phinehas Campbell (who is obviously a different person than the father of Laura, who is listed in the 1820 census of Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and probably a different person than the Phineas Campbell in Bedford), age 45 or above, with a wife who was also 45 or above (roll  M33_61, page 669). He is listed as Phincus Campbell, age 26 thru 45, in the 1800 census of Henniker; and as Phineas Campbell, a free white male of 16 and upwards, in the 1790 census of the same place. Secondary sources say that the parents of this Phineas Campbell of Henniker were Annas and Abigail Campbell. There is a copy of the will of Annas Campbell of Henniker at page 399 of History of the town of Henniker, Merrimack County, New Hampshire by Leander Winslow Cogswell. The will is dated February 7, 1772. In the will, Annas Campbell mentions his wife Abigail and several children, including his son Phenias. At page 17 of the book, it is said that Annas Campbell came to Henniker in 1765 from Hawke (Danville), became a large property owner, and in 1766 erected the first two story frame house in the town. The IGI says that Annas Campbell was born in 1716 in Danville, Rockingham, New Hampshire (film 178031, page 932, reference number 27624), and that he married Abigail Pike in about 1760 in Hawke Township, Rockingham, New Hampshire (batch 5026565, sheet 23, source call number 1553906). He was actually born in North Ireland in 1716 and migrated with his parents, Alexander and Jenit (?) Campbell, to Danville in 1728. See the posting (0901972159) of Glen Campbell of August 1, 1998, entitled New England Roots, in Scotch-Irish-L Archives on RootsWeb. "He (Alexander Campbell) was noted as one of the first people to raise Irish potatoes in New Hampshire."

On February 17, 1859, John McGeogh and his wife, Catharine McGeogh, opened account number 19130 in the New York Emigrant Savings Bank. John McGeogh was listed as a laborer on East 13th Street, a native of "Claran*" county Monaghan, Ireland, who arrived in New York City in July, 1857, aboard the "Ellen Austin." He was married to Catherine McDermott who arrived from Ireland with her husband. They had five children. Both John and Catherine signed the account by his or her mark. John McGeough, a laborer, living at 250 East 14th Street, opened account number 35853 at the New York Emigrant Savings Bank on July 23, 1863. The bank record says he was born in county Monaghan, Ireland, in 1795 (or, in another place, 1808), and arrived in News York on July 12, 1857, aboard the Ellen Rush (or Ellen Austin). He was the widower of Kate McDermott (probably an entry added on October 3, 1876). On the account were his sons, Michael McGeough and Thomas McGeough, who was married on April 23, 1877. The line following the names of the sons says 518 East 14th Street, blacksmith, born in Ireland in 1826, arrived aboard the Ellen Rush (or Ellen Austin) in 1857, and "Married Alice Corry (don't know where she is)." The names of the two sons are crossed out and the line bears the notation "Amended October 3, 1876." Each of the three signed the account by his mark. The original account appears to have been only in the name of John McGeough and his son Michael, a laborer, both of whom were at 250 East 14th Street. The passenger list of the Ellen Austin when it arrived in New York from Liverpool on July 13, 1857, listed John McGough, age 52, laborer; his wife, Catherine McGough, age 47; Michael McGough, age 20, laborer; and Ellen McGough, age 16, spinster; all born in Ireland and all traveling together.]

[John McGough joined the Union Army in Syracuse (Onondaga county), New York, as a private on August 30, 1862, and on October 10, 1863.]

[John McGough, age 19 [should have been about 21], joined the Union Army as a sergeant in Syracuse, New York, on July 6, 1863.]

Here is some material from Michelle-McGoff McCann's now dormant website:

"John McGough was born in Greenbush, Rensselaer County, New York in about . 1842.

"John McGough enrolled to join the union forces in the 12th Regiment NYS Infantry on April 1st, in Manlius, Onondaga County, NY. Upon entering the service, John was described as 18 years old, 5ft.9in. in height, with a light complexion, brown eyes and black hair. His occupation was listed as a Butcher in Greenbush, NY.

"He mustered in as a private, in Co. C, 12th Reg. NY Infantry in Elmira, New York on May 13, 1861. He was transferred from Co. C to Co. K when the two companies merged in the Spring of 1863. He was promoted on April 1, 1862 to the rank of Corporal. On June 27th, 1862, John was listed as missing in action. He had been captured and taken as a prisoner at Meadow Bridge, on June 27 during the battle at Gaines Mill and confined at Richmond, Va. that same day. He was paroled at Aiken's Landing on August 5, 1862 after one week of imprisonment. The memorandum from the prisoner of war records is available below:

"After being held prisoner, John returned to the regiment and was promoted to First Sergeant on October 22, 1862. During his service with the 12th Regiment, he was engaged in action at Bull Run No.1, Yorktown, Gaines Mill (where he was held as a prisoner), Bull Run No.2 and Fredericksburg. John finally mustered out of the regiment on May, 17, 1863 after serving 2 years in the war.

"John McGough's service in the Civil War started in with the 12th Regiment, but ended with the 15th Cavalry. John joined the 15th Cavalry NYS Infantry on July 6, 1863—just 2 months after ending his service with the 12th Regiment. He mustered in at Syracuse, New York on August 8, 1863, as a Sergeant with Company A. His age is misreported as 19 years old. He was reported as absent on the muster rolls in October 30th, 1863 and demoted to Private for being absent without leave. The next month his status was reinstated as Sergeant. John was granted a furlough at Christmas time in December of 1863. Hopefully, he was able to leave at this time to visit with his family for the holidays."

"The next event that appears in his service records is his admittance into the General Hospital in Cumberland, Md in July and August of 1864. There are no details about his injury or condition.

"John McGough, the butcher from Greenbush, died in battle at the age of 22. John was killed in action during the Appomattox campaign, near the Appomattox River on April 2, 1865. The final statements forwarded by Edward Pointer, 2nd Lieutenant of the 15th Cavalry, Co. A stated that John died in the field as a result of a gun shot wound. ...

"There is a Civil War Monument that was dedicated to the soldiers that did not return from the war. John McGough is one of the men listed as is reported by Kathy Crowell of the Manlius Historical Society on the Town of Manlius website:

McGough, John (listed as killed in battle in 1865 on the Town of Manlius Civil War Monument). "

Italy Hill), and John McGough, age 35, in the 1880 census of Milo, Yates county.. Here is material from IrishMcGoff.com, Michelle McGoff-McCann's now inactive website:

"John McGough ... had 3 siblings, Michael, Ann and Bridget all living in the Darver Parish. The family emigrated to America in the Spring of 1850, just 5 years after the start of the famine in Ireland.

The family settled in New York State. John eventually moved to Yates County, in the Town of Milo."

"John McGough enlisted [in the 44th New York Infantry] at Penn Yan (Yates county) August 30 [1862], aged 18 years. Joined for duty and enrolled at same place September 1. Detached as guard at Brigade headquarters May __, 1863, and remained such until transfer. Transferred to Co. E, 140th Inf., October 11, 1864, and to Co. D. 5th N.Y. Vet. Inf., June 3, 1865. Mustered out with company August 21, 1865, at Hart's Island, New York harbor."

"After the war, John settled down in Penn Yan and married a woman by the name of Mary McGough—they had the same surname. Mary's father, Patrick McGough was from County Louth also, but of no proven relation to John.

"John and Mary had 4 children: Charles (b.1877 - d.1961), John H. (b.1878 - d.1959), Anna Rose (b.1894 - d.1980) and Albert George (b.1896 - d.1981).

"John raised his family and lived in Yates County until his death on September 28, 1934. At the time of his death, John was the oldest living GAR veteran of New York State who had served at Gettysburg. He was 90 years old."]

Both parents were natives of Knox County, Ohio, where they were married, and for many years engaged in farming.

"Mr. McGough was quite young when his parents moved from Franklin County to Auglaize County, and thence in 1862 to Liberty township. Mr. McGough was educated in District No. 1, Liberty township, and later studied under Hon. Augustus L. Sweet, now of Van Wert. He was married in 1878 to Arabelle Shaffer, a daughter of John Shaffer. They are the parents of 12 children, namely: John, who married Eva Behymer, of Mercer County. and lives in Lima, where he is bookkeeper for the Oil Well Supply Company: Clarence, who married Alice Tipple and lives n Mercer County on a farm: Percy, a stenographer for a mining company in Waterloo, Ohio, who married Martha Taylor—he is graduate of the Lima Business College, as is also his oldest son, John; Lucy, who married Rev.

"After his marriage, Mr. McGough rented for one year a farm in the eastern part of Liberty township, and in 1897 bought a 106-acre tract, which was at one time the property of his wife's grandfather, Absalom Brey. He located on the farm in 1898, and has since resided there. Oil has been developed on the place, and there are now eight wells in operation.

Searching for any information regarding Hugh McGue and his wife Mary Halpin. Left Ireland (Co. Monaghan, Killany Parish) 1846-1855 with children Mary, Bridget, Roseann Marie. Came to Milan Ohio and had Thomas, James, Hugh there.

[If we assume that the places of birth of the children stated in the 1860 census are correct, and if we further assume that the McGough and Halpin families arrived together in Milan, Ohio, the year of arrival was was probably 1849, or within a few month before or after — after the birth of Catherine McGough reported in the 1860 census as 12 years old and born in Ireland, and before the birth of Mary Halpin reported by the same census as 10 years old and born in Ohio.

Also living in Milan township, Erie county, in 1860, and reported on the census page immediately following the McGoughs, was the Halpin family that reportedly immigrated from Ireland with the McGoughs:

(1860) James Halpin, age 38, mechanic, born in Ireland. (roll M653_958, page 187; Family History Library Film 803958).

C. Halpin, age 30, born in Ireland. [Catherine Farnan Halpin]

Mary Halpin age 10, born in Ohio. [The age is interpreted as 16 by Ancestry.com, but Mary Alpine's age is reported as 20 in the 1870 census, which lists her as the oldest of 9 children.]

John Halpin, age 7, born in Ohio.]

[The suranme Halpin has the same Old Irish Origin as Halpenny and Halfpenny, among others, and has sometimes been considered interchangeable. For an interesting discussion, see: The House of Halpenny, where this comment is made: "The name supposedly originated in County Monaghan and is currently residing in Counties Monaghan, Louth, and Meath. The name is pronounced Hapenny in most of County Louth, but is pronounced Halpenny in most other parts of Ireland. The Halpin name originated in counties Limerick and Clare, but in modern times Halpenny has been abbreviated to Halpin in many cases." Here is the entry in Reverend Patrick Woulfe's Irish Names and Surnames (1923): "Ó hAILPÍN—I—O Halpin, O Halpeny, O Halfpenny, Halpin, Halpeny, Halfpenny; 'descendant of Ailpín' (diminutive of alp, a lump, a stout person). This surname appears to have originated in Co. Monaghan, but for centuries it has been found also in Co. Limerick. The anglicised forms O Halpeny, Halpeny, &c, represent an older form, Ó hAilpene."

There are two public family trees on Ancestry.com with valuable history of this McGough/McGue family: McGue Family Tree owned by peoplespp13 and Thomas McGue SR. 2010 owned by Thomas McGue, Sr. (which says that Hugh McGough was born in 1818 in county Monaghan Ireland).

Patricia McGue Phillips is the great-granddaughter of Hugh and Mary Halpin McGue. She says her great-grandfather Hugh was born in county Monaghan in 1821, and her grandmother, Mary Halpin, was born in county Monaghan in 1822. Hugh McGue was born with the name McGough (or McGeough) in Killanny Parish, which straddles the border between counties Monaghan and Louth. For a list of some of the many McGoughs in Killanny Parish in the 1800s, look under the barony of Farney in McGoughs, McGeoughs, and McGeoghs in County Monaghan in the 1820–30s and 1850–60s: By Barony, Parish, and Townland (lines 399 to 431).

Thomas McGue, the brother of Patricia McGue Phillips, says that the family history is that Hugh and Mary Halpin McGough walked from Cleveland to Milan, Ohio, where the family ultimately farmed about 500 acres of land. He also says that for many years, the old McGue homestead in Milan had a plaque over the door proclaiming it an Ohio Historical Site. Hugh McGue is buried in St. Anthony's cemetery in Milan, Ohio, where most of his family is buried."

The gravestone in St. Anthony Cemetery, which is contiguous to and part of Milan Cemetery, is pictured on findagrave.com (Find A Grave Memorial# 30348483) and the inscription is: HUGH McGUE BORN IN THE Parish of Killany Co. Monaghan Ireland. DIED IN MILAN, O. APRIL 9, 1884 AGED 66 YRS 5 MS. MARY HIS WIFE BORN IN IRELAND DIED IN MILAN O. JUNE 8, 1895 AGED 74 YEARS "REST IN PEACE" See also: Erie County OH Archives — Milan Cemetery Burials.

Thomas McGue, brother of Patricia McGue Phillips, also reports that when he was vacationing in Ireland in 1994, he found an old cemetery in the townland of Killanny at the southeast end of the parish of St. Enda. The cemetery is attached to one of the old abandoned churches of the parish. The remains of three private chapels and the ruins of a friary are in this old cemetery. The old cemetery had been sold to a local farmer, and the human remains were transferred to the present day cemetery, which was open and blessed in 1917, next to the modern church of St. Enda's. The old cemetery is overgrown with weeds, but "very much full of " gravestones. "The care is entrusted to a neglectful Louth County Council."

Patrick J. Duffy, in his Landscapes of South Ulster, says the new church of St. Enda's was built in 1927. The new church is in the townland of Tullydrum, in the civil parish of Killanny, county of Louth, about 1/4 of a kilometer east of the boundary between counties Monaghan and Louth, and less than two kilometers northwest of the small concentration of buildings at the southeast edge of the townland of Killanny. There is a watercolor of the new St. Enda's Church in the Irish Architectural Archive, where the church is incorrectly described as being in county Monaghan.

Thomas McGue goes on to say, in an email of March 5, 2000:

"When we were there, we met a farmer living across the street at his estate. His name was Michael McGough, and he pronounced the name the same as ours (McGue). He showed us a tombstone erected by Michael McGough of Louth in memory of his father Peter McGough who died December 10th, 1817, age 75. ... My gggrandfather was married to Mary Halpin, whose brother was James Halpin, married to Catherine Farnan. In this cemetery is a headstone, erected by Matthew Farnan of Dromhilla, in memory of his father Thomas Farnan, also son Patrick, and mother Mary."

In a later email, Thomas McGue says that the farmer, Michael McGough, was 67 when they met in 1994, and that the graveyard across from his farm was overgrown with weeds and stickers "as high as your head."

In the southeastern part of St. Enda's Parish - Killanny, in the townland of Killanny, is the Killanny Old Graveyard. Here are three gravestones listed in this cemetery. (See also: The Inscriptions of Killanny Old Cemetery by Rev. P. O. Meardin - Clogher Record, 1966, pages 191–196.)

"6. A Limestone Headstone. I.H.S. Erected by Matthew Farnan of Dromhilla in memory of his father Thomas Farnan, who died 1st May 1836, aged 71 years. Also his son Patrick Farnan, who died 18th Nov 1836, aged 32 years. Also his mother Mary Farnan, who died 6th December 1836, aged 60 years.

"7. A Marker Stone. Hugh Mc Geough, 2-3 years of age.

...

"62. A Sandstone Headstone. This stone was erected by Mich Mc Geough of Louth in memory of his father Peter Mc Geough, who died Dec 10th 1817, aged 75 years.

The grandfather of Patricia McGue Phillips and her brother, Thomas McGue, was Thomas Michael McGue (born in 1861 in Milan, Ohio). He was the third son, and sixth and youngest child, of Hugh McGue and Mary Halpin McGue. Their children were: Mary (born in Ireland in 1841) Roseann Marie (Rose) (born in Ireland in 1851), James (born in 1853, probably in Ireland, but his death certificate says Milan, Ohio), Bridget (who is said to have died at sea at four months of age on September 11, 1855 ?), Hugh Jr. (born in 1856, presumably in Milan, Ohio), and Thomas Michael (born in 1861 in Milan, Ohio).

Thomas Michael McGue raised his family in Toledo, Ohio. He married Anastasia Lane, whose father was John Lane, born in Boston, Massachusetts. Her mother was Anastasia Kevenick who was born in Ireland. Their children included two daughters, Mary Edith McGue and Agnes McGue, and a son, Charles Joseph McGue, born in 1911. Charles Joseph McGue was the father of Patricia McGue Phillips and Thomas McGue. The Social Security Death Index shows Charles McGue was born on May 14, 1911, and died in Columbus, Ohio, in March of 1976.The index also shows Agnes McGue was born on November 22, 1906, and died in Columbus, Ohio, on May 1, 1993.]

His grandparents, Robert and Mary McGough, were natives of Ireland and were brought to this country by their parents when quite young. Growing up in Washington county, Penn., they were married in 1819, and to their union were born five sons and three daughters. All but three of their children are still living. William, one of their sons, was reared and educated in his native county of Washington, and then engaged in the flour and feed trade at Birmingham, but after seven years, went upon a farm and followed agriculture until his death, which occurred July 3, 1886. He came to Ohio about 1853, and settled in Knox township, Jefferson county, where he was married to Sarah Stewart, also a native of Washington county, Penn., and daughter of William Stewart. Five children, two sons and three daughters, were born to them, all of whom are living. Robert C. McGough, one of these children, after receiving his early education, engaged in farming and followed that until 1887, when he embarked in merchandise at Mingo, an occupation in which his integrity and good business qualities are meeting with deserved success.

Mooney, the son, apparently never married. The 1900–1930 censuses show him as a farmer in Union and single.)

Mooney who was born in October of 1875, that Rosanna later married John Gormley on October 11, 1880, in St-Patricks' Church, Eau Claire, and that she had seven more children by John Gormley before her death in Eau Claire in 1900.

WI - Lafayette County

Centre, Town of (Post Office: Darlington) (The name of the town Centre was changed to Darlington in 1869.)

(1860) Bernard Gough, age 50, born in Ireland, farmer, real estate worth $1200, personal property worth $135, could not read or write English (roll M653_1416, page 621; Family History Library Film 805416). [Died on April 17, 1868, in Darlington, Lafayette county, Wisconsin. See the Quinn Family Tree on Ancestry.com. The family history is that he died in a construction accident while building a stone bridge. Ann Pendergast Christman, the great-great-grandaughter of Bernard, and great-grandaughter of his son Francis (listed below as age 15), informed me by an email of May 8, 2013, that Bernard was born in Ireland as Bernard McGough, that he dropped the Mc at the time of (or before) this 1860 census, and that his descendants have since used the surname Gough. The Pendergast Christman Family Tree (on Ancestry.com) lists him as Bernard McGough.

Ann Pendergast Christman send me a copy of a 52 page family tree: The Connelly-Gough Heritage by Catharine E. Connelly (Sister M. Raymund, O. P.) (1986). (See the entry on Francis Gough, age 15, below.) Sister M. Raymund's history of the Bernard Gough family says that, around 1850 or before, a stone mason from county Monaghan, Ireland, Bernard McGough, and his oldest son, Peter, a lad of 13 or 14, came to Galena, Illinois, to earn passage money for his wife and children. Bernard had left in Ireland his wife, Catherine Welch (or Walsh) McGough, two daughters, Alice and Rose, and three sons, John, Francis, and Edward. Some of Bernard's "savings were lost to an unprincipled employer but eventually he sent for his wife and family." Smallpox broke out among the passengers of their ship while they were on the ocean and they were put ashore on an island to wait until the epidemic was over. The McGough family from Ireland then landed at New Orleans, traveled up the Mississippi River to Galena, Illinois, and on to Darlington, Wisconsin (then called Centre because it was in the middle of Lafayette county). They were greeted by Frank Welch (possibly Francis Walsh who purchased land on a cash-entry sale in Lafayette county on November 10, 1855 — Wisconsin Land Patents Database: Lafayette County - Surnames T-Z*) and his wife in Darlington. "She and her husband had no children." Mrs. Welch (or Walsh) walked (15+ miles) from Darlington to Benton, Wisconsin, to tell Bernard that his family had arrived safely in Darlington. The McGough family spent its first winter in a sod house near Darlington, and in the following summer build a log house and "they drilled a very deep well and forever after the water at Gough's was the pride of the family and the best tasting water that any of the relatives had." Family papers kept show that taxes were paid on 80 acres of land in 1862, 1864, and 1865, and that the land was deeded by the government to Bernard Gough on April 18, 1865. Peter Gough acquired land about a mile south of his father's, probably at the same time.

The 1900 census of the United States asked for the year of immigration. Peter Gough, in the 1900 census of Seymour, Lafayette county, Wisconsin, reported that his year of immigration was 1855. In the 1900 census of Johnson township, Webster county, Iowa, Peter's youngest brother, Edward, reports that his year of immigration was 1856. This supports the family history that Bernard and his son Peter immigrated before the rest of the McGough family.]

Catharine Gough, age 49, born in Ireland, could not read or write English. [Catherine Walsh (or Welch), died in January, 1871, in Darlington, Lafayette county, Wisconsin. Listed in the 1870 census of Seymour township, Lafayette county, Wisconsin, as Catherine Gough (indexed by Ancestry.com as Gaugh), age 60, born in Ireland, a housekeeper, on the farm of her son, Francis Gough, age 25 (listed by Ancestry.com as 22), born in Ireland, a farmer with real estate worth $6,000 and personal property worth $300. Living on the same property in 1870 were Catherine's children John, age 28; Edward, age 21; and Rosa, age 25.

On July 1, 1863, Francis Walsh, age 40, and Edward Walsh, age 38, both born in Canada and both farmers, registered for the Civil War draft in Centre, Lafayette county, Wisconsin. The registration of Francis Walsh indicated 19 months of previous military service in the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry. U.S., Civil War Draft Registrations Records, 1863–1865 on Ancestry.com. Civil War records (film number M559 roll 31) show that Francis Walsh (originally filed under Francis Welch) served as a Private in Company H of the 3rd Regiment Wisconsin Infantry. The 1890 US census Special Schedule - Surving Soldiers, Sailors, ...

They sailed from Liverpool on May 26, 1857, and arrived in New York on July 1, 1857. They left as their mailing address" "In the care of the Rev. Michael McFaul*, Janesville, Wisconsin." See: Vere Foster—1857 Emigrants' Story—The "City of Mobile." "Those who took the 44-hour long trip to Janesville, Wisconsin were allowed, thanks to the generosity of the railway companies, to travel first class, at emigration rates." John McGough (McGeogh) (McGoff), was born in 1827 in county Louth, and died on October 22, 1899, in Sprague, Washington. Mary Clarke was born in Dundalk, county Louth, Ireland, on January 6, 1837.

[Here is a note from the McGoff website on the Internet Archive WaybackMachine at [http://www.juliannekp.com/mcgoff.htm]:

"John William McGoff was born in Janesville, WI. He moved with his parents, John and Mary, to Delhi [Delaware county], IA when he was a young boy. When he was twelve they moved to Sprague where they resided until both parents died. John William married Hannah Collins and lived for 16 years on a farm in Martin County, MN. In the winter of 1912, Mrs. Peter E. McGoff and her two daughters visited their cousins at the farm for a couple of weeks.

"When Theresa McGoff (Ascheman) was ten or twelve, her cousin John Clarke from Chicago visited them and was dearly loved by the family. Theresa said that he was very fond of corn and one time ate 17 ears of it! John Clarke told them that he met his wife at church. He saw her during mass and went right afterwards to the priest and asked for an introduction. The minute he saw her he decided he would make her his wife. They raised several children. Theresa never saw him after that visit. He was the one who told Theresa that Clarke, our Clarke, is spelled with an E. This is the Irish Catholic spelling.
