Hugh McGoughs in History by Hugh McGough

Aedh Mac Eochaidh is the modern Irish spelling of Hugh McGough. Hugh is not a common first name among the McGough/McGeoughs. A fact that surprised me: the name Hugh McGough is relatively more common in Scotland than in either Ireland or the United States—so much so that I collect the limited information I have on Scots Hugh McGoughs in a table in a special section toward the end of this page. In this page, I have collected miscellaneous lore on my name, which was also the name of my grandfather, and is the name of my grandson, Hugh McGough, who was born in Seattle on August 13, 1997. The fact that there is a new Hugh McGough in the world has led to my collection of the genealogical and historical information on this website.

Aedh (Hugh) was the most common of all personal names in Ireland in the twelfth century, according to Heather Rose Jones' web page, 100 Most Popular Men's Names in Early Medieval Ireland. The fifth most popular name was Eochaid. Mac Eochaidh is the modern Irish version of McGough. The number of forms of both Aedh and Eochaidh in the English translations of the Irish annals is overwhelming, and illustrates the difficulty of using computer-search engines to do a complete search for Aedh Mac Eochaid or Aedh Mag Eochadh, Gaelic forms of Hugh McGough.

Aedh

Forms of Aedh that are in the Annals of Ulster (U) include: Aed, Aeda, Aedain, Aedan, Aedgain, Aedh, Aedha, Aedhacan, Aedhacain, Aedhaccain, Aedhaein, Aedhai, Aedhan, Aeddheid, Aedhgaile, Aedhgal, Aedho, and Aedo. Additional forms in the Annals of Tighernach (T) are: Aedacan, Aedhoic, Aedhoig, Aedoc, Aedoic, and Aedog. Welsh and Cornish forms of the name are Aedd and Aeddan; see Celtic Male Names of Wales. Other forms include Aidus, Aogh, Aydan, Ea, Edan, Ede, and Uistean. See: Concerning the Names Aidan, Aédán, Aodh, and the Like.

Irish Ancestors, the valuable website of The Irish Times, prefers Aodh to Aedh. In explaining the origin of the surname McHugh/ McCue (a name unrelated to McGough), Irish Ancestors says: "Mac Aodha from early first name Aodh, "fire", now always anglicised Hugh. There were septs in Galway & Ulster. ... Mac Aodha. A form of Mac Hugh in Ulster. It must be noted that the Teutonic Hugh bears no semantic relationship with Celtic Aodh. One was arbitrarily substituted for the other."

Traditional Irish Names says:

"Aodh - (AY) from Old Irish aid "fire." Another name of the god Dagda in Irish myth. Borne by six high kings and twenty saints in early Ireland. Name of two Irish rebels in Queen Elizabeth I's time, Aogh (Hugh) O'Neill and Aodh Rua (Red Hugh) O'Donnell. Anglicized as Hugh."

The website Traditional Irish Names tells us:

"Aed - derived from the word aedh 'fire'; common in early Ireland; name of several early saints, and four Ui Neill High Kings.

"Aedan - (EH-thahn) dim. also can be Aed. Saint Aodhan of Fern performed many miracles, including healing the lame and blind son of a British king.

"Aodh - (AY) from Old Irish aid 'fire.' Another name of the god Dagda in Irish myth. Borne by six high kings and twenty saints in early Ireland. Name of two Irish rebels in Queen Elizabeth I's time, Aogh (Hugh) O'Neill and Aodh Rua (Red Hugh) O'Donnell. Anglicized as Hugh.

"Aodhan - (EH-dawn or AY-dawn) version of Old Irish Aedan, dim. of aed 'fire.' Aedan was the name of 21 early Irish saints. Popular name, often anglicized as Aidan (AY-dahn).

"Ea - (EH)(Celt) 'fire' also can be Aodh. Hugh.

"Úistean - (OOSH-tchen, or ISH-tchen)(Teut) 'intelligence.' Euston, Hugh.

An alternative website for this source is Celtic Male Names of Ireland.

The Highland Names page of the Clan Maclean Genealogy Database says that Eochagain and Eoghan are forms of Hugh:

Eochagain—Ewen, Hugh (diminutive)

Eoghainn—Ewen, Hugh

Eoghan—Ewen, Hugh [for concurrence, see Gaelic Forenames]

Eoghann—Ewen, Hugh"

Aedan and Aidan are listed as diminutives of Hugh. Huisdean and Uisdean are listed as equivalent to Hugh, Ewen, and Austin.

Aedan and its forms have survived as an Irish and English first name, separate from Hugh. Relatively few sources translate the Gaelic form of this name as Hugh. Aedan seems to be a diminutive of Aedh that sometimes means Aedh, but not always. Irish/Irish Gaelic Male Names tells us:

"Aidan—(Celt) 'flame, fire, fiery'; derived from word aedh 'fire.' Edan, Aodhan (EH-thahn); anglicized form of Irish Aodán; dim. of Aodh; Edan."

The Catholic saint, Aedan of Ferns, is also known as Aedh. He is also known as St. Maedoc, Moedhog, Mogue, Aeddan Foeddog, Aidus, and Hugh.

Aidan, Adan, Aiden, Ayden, Aden, Adin, Aedan, Aydan, and Aydin are treated as forms as a single name, listed in their order of popularity, and are #138 on the list of the Top 1100 U.S. Baby Boy Names of 1998. Hugh ranks #676. Irish Christian Names—Boys lists Aidan, Aodán, Aodhán, and Aodhagán as different spellings of the same name and says that they are all equivalent to the English Hugh, as is Aodh, which is listed separately.

Celtic Male Names of Scotland tells us:

"Aidan - Fr. Old Irish aed "fire" + dim. -an. Very old Scottish name. King Aidan mac Gabran, ruled Argyll in the 6th C., first Christian Monarch in the British Isles outside Ireland. 7th C. St. Aidan established the celebrated monastery of Lindisfarne.

"Aodh - (OOH) Fr. Old Irish aed "fire." Frequent name in early Scotland; surname Mackay is based on it. Aoidh, Hugh.

"Edan - "fire."

"Ewan - Gaelic Eoghann (YOH-uhn) Fr. Old Irish name Eogan "born of the yew tree": eo "yew" + gein "birth" = "born of the yew tree." Traditional clan name, including Clan Campbell and Clan Chattan. Ewen of Locheil, chief of Clan Cameron, was a celebrated opponent of Oliver Cromwell. Ewen, Euen, Euan, Ewhen, Owen, anglicized as Hugh.

"Hugh - English name from German root hugi "heart, mind"; traditionally used in Scotland to anglicize the Gaelic names Eoghann, Uisdeann and Aodh.

Given Names c. 1450–1650 lists as variants of Hugh: Hew Hewe Hewghe Heug Heughe; Huchon in Scotland; and as familiar forms: Huget Hugin Huglin Hudd Hewet Hughelot Huelot Hewelet. Sara L. Uckelman, in her English Given Names from 16th and Early 17th C Marriage Records, lists under Hugh: Hughe Hewgh Hew Hewghe Hugo [L] Heugh Hewe Hewe Howe Howey Hugem [L] Hugonem [L] Hwy.

Eochaidh

Variations of Eochaidh used in the Annals of the Four Masters (M) and the Annals of Ulster (U) are: Eochaid, Eathac, Eathach, Eachac, Eachach, Echdac, and Eachdach. Other variations found in respectable sources are: Eachada, Eaghagh, Eachaigh, Earchadha, Earrchadha, Ecach, Echdaigh, Echdaich, Echu, Eocad, Eocada, Eocaid, Eocha, Eochad, Eochagan (as a diminutive of Eochaidh), Eochie, Eochu, Eochy, Eodach, Eotac, Eotach, and Eothach.

"Hugh, mac Goughs" in Old Irish Records

Here are some of the ways that Aedh, son of Eochaidh, appears in the Annals of the Four Masters (M), Annals of Ulster (U), and Annals of Tighernach (T). If a comma is inserted after the first name, or if the mac is not capitalized, the name changes from generation to generation to reflect the name of the father of the person first named. If the Mac or Mc is capitalized, and there is no comma after the first name, that is a signal that a surname has become fixed and no longer varies from generation to generation, a process that generally did not begin until the 11th and 12th centuries.

circa 582 B. C. "Teia Tephi had a palace built for herself at Teltown near Kells and lived there with her husband Eochaidh and they had four children. Their firstborn was a boy named Aedh who died in his teens and was buried in Teamur - Tephi's Wall (now known as The Mound of The Hostages) at Tara." Proposal for The Teltown Fair and Commemorative Funeral Games—2000.

"Teia Tephi landed at Howth on the 18th. of June 583 B.C., and was greeted there and carried ashore by Eochaidh Mac Duach, the Ard ri (high king) of Ireland. She spent that night at Howth staying at the palace of Crimthann which was built on the Hill of Howth.

"The next day Teia Tephi was taken to Cathair Crofinn (now known as The Hill of Tara), where she married Eochaidh, the high king of Ireland, and they gave their pledges of marriage over the Lia Fail Stone (Jacob's Pillar—The Stone of Destiny) that Teia Tephi had brought with her from Jerusalem. She then stood upon the Lia Fail Stone and was acknowledged queen of all Ireland and Eochaidh as Ard ri. Tephi and Eochaidh had four children, her firstborn son, Aedh, died as a teen-ager and was buried in the at Tara. A special subterranean tomb was constructed beneath the Mound of The Hostages and Teia Tephi was buried in it, when she died, along with a number of extremely significant artifacts including David's Harp, which features as the Irish people's national emblem. ...

"Teia Tephi's third child and second son, Aengus succeeded his older brother Aedh to the Throne and became high king of Ireland after his parents' death. He grew up to be very arrogant and had the grandest tomb in Ireland built for himself to be, in his belief, immortalized in, and was buried there at Bru na Boann (Boyne) which means 'The dwelling of Aengus, son of Bo.' From: Teia Tephi.

Colla Meann—Aedh, son of Eochaidh, one of the Three Collas

Aedh had a son, Mughdhorn, after whom are named the people called Mughdhorna, of which were some of the ancient McGoughs. John O'Hart says that some of the McGoughs descended from Cairoll, Colla da Chrioch. See Colla da Chrioch, First King of Oriel, in Origins of the Surname McGough. Aedh, or Colla Meann, seems to be a better candidate.

The three Collas ended the reign of their uncle, Fiacha Sraibhtine, in 322 by killing him in the battle of Dubhchomar, in Chrioch-Ros, in Breagh. Colla Uais assumed the throne and ruled for four years (323–326) when he in turn was deposed by his cousin, Muireadhach Tireach, Irish Kings #122, the son of Fiacha Sraibhtine. The three Collas were exiled to Scotland "with three hundred along with them." According to the now inactive website of the Mackey Family of Sydney, Australia, the three Collas:

"escaped to the Scottish Highlands where they were received with great hospitality by their grandfather, who was ruler of that area. The clan has grown to such an extent that today there are close to 200 septs. The ancestral home of the clan was the entire northern portion of Scotland which was known as Strathnaver or Dutaich Mhic Aoidh, the land of the Mackay's." . . .

"Most Irish and Scottish genealogists are in agreement that the words MacKay, McKee, McKie, etc. are Anglicisation’s of MacAoidh or 'The son of Aoidh'. The direct translation means 'son of fire', but can also be translated into 'fiery one' or 'one of hot temper'. The proper pronunciation sounds like 'eye' or a guttural McEye. That's why the 'k' in the name is not usually capitalized, as its Mack-ay (eye) rather that Mac-kay."

The legend of the three Collas looms large in Irish history:

"Advancing down through the Irish genealogy to about 300-335 A.D, we come to three brothers known as the three Collas: Colla Uais, Colla Aoidh, and Colla Chrioch. It's from an ancient poem that we first learn of the three brothers, who are sometimes named Cairoll, Aoidh, and Muireadhach, depending upon how the Gaelic is translated.

Three princes once the glory of the Isle
Known by the name of the three warlike Collas,
Were sons of Eochaidh; and in battle slew
The Irish Monarch, for heroic deeds
These brothers are in ancient records call'd
Aodh, Muireachach, and Cairoll,
Or for distinction otherwise express'd
Cairoll, Colla Uais; Aoidh, Colla Mean;
And Muireachach, Colla do Chrioch. "

From History of the Mackey Name, part of the now inactive website of the Mackey Family of Sydney, Australia.

The three Collas returned to Ireland from Scotland in 327, and were told by the now high king, Muireadhach Tireach, that they should conquer the Ulstermen and take control of their territory. In his lively book, The Story of the Irish Race (1971), Seamus Mac Manus tells the story of the conquest of Ulster by the three Collas:

"Of the line of Ir, son of Milesius, to whom Ulster had been apportioned, that Branch called the Clan na Rory (after its great founder, Rory, who had been King of Ulster, and also High King of Ireland) now ruled the province for nearly 700 years, namely, for more than 300 years before the Christian Era, and more than 300 years after. And their capital city and the king’s seat had been at Emain Macha. During practically all of this time, from that fort’s first founding by Queen Macha, the royal Court of Ulster had been a court of splendour, and ever noted as a centre of chivalry and the home of poetry. ...

"But in the beginning of the fourth century, Ulster’s power was irrevocably broken, and by far the greater portion of her territory wrested from her—her people driven into miserably narrow bounds from which, ever after, they can hardly be said to have emerged.

"It was when Muiredeach Tireach, grandson of Carbri of the Liffey, was High King of Ireland, that Ulster was despoiled and broken by his nephews, the three Collas, who, on the ruins of the old kingdom of Uladh, founded a new kingdom—of Oirgialla (Oriel)—which was henceforth for nearly a thousand years to play an important part in the history of Northern Ireland. ...

"The ostensible cause of their attack upon Ulster was the ancient grudge borne that province because many generations before, the Ulster king, Tiobraide, had sent to Tara fifty robbers disguised as women, who had slain Conn of the Hundred Battles—and because, a generation later, the Ulster prince, Fergus Blacktooth, had, by setting fire to his hair at a feast, put a blemish upon Cormac MacArt, which, for a time, debarred him from the throne which Fergus then usurped.

"But the Collas first went to their kin in Connaught and there gathered a great army for the invasion of Ulster. On the plain of Farney in Monaghan they met the Ulstermen under their king, Fergus, and on seven successive days broke battle upon them, finally slaying Fergus and putting the Ultach (Ulstermen) to complete rout. Then they ravaged and destroyed famed and ancient Emain Macha, and drove the Ultach east of the Uri river and Loch Neagh—from the great expanse of their olden kingdom, hemming them into the straitened limits of the new kingdom, which comprised only parts of the present counties of Antrim and Down. Of the conquered portion of Ulster, from Louth in the south to Derry in the north, and from Loch Neagh to Loch Erne, the Collas made themselves the new kingdom of Oirgialla (Oriel), which was possessed afterwards, by their descendants, the MacMahons, O'Hanlons, O'Carrolls, and MacGuires. See The Break of Ulster, from The Story of the Irish Race (chapter XIV, pages 74–6).

Aedh (Colla Meann), son of Eochaidh, was killed in the successful battle of the three Collas against the Ulstermen. The Annals of the Four Masters describe the defeat of the Uladh by the three Collas:

"M331.2 The battle of Achadh Leithdheirg, in Fearnmhagh [the barony of Farney in County Monaghan], was fought by the three Collas against the Ulstermen, in which fell Fearghus Fogha, son of Fraechar Foirtriun, the last king of Ulster, [who resided] at Eamhain. They afterwards burned Eamhain, and the Ulstermen did not dwell therein since. They also took from the Ulstermen that part of the province [extending] from the Righe [the Newry River] and Loch nEathach [Loch Neagh] westwards. Colla Meann fell in this battle."

Colla Uais returned to Scotland. Colla da Chrioch became king of Oriel. For more detail, see The Book of Rights and The Families of MacDonald, McDonald and McDonnell by Henry Lee.

Aedh, son of Eochaid Lethderg—Abducted by the Fairy Folk

In Irish legends, the Tuatha De Danann, or Sidhe, were thought of as able to take beautiful mortals whom they loved, and confer upon them fairy immortality, which prevented "that death which the King of Heaven and Earth hath ordained." In the time of Saint Patrick, Aedh, son of Eochaid Lethderg, Prince of Leinster, was abducted and carried into a palace in Fairyland by two Sidh-women who were in love with him. He was held captive for three years when he escaped and made his way to St. Patrick, whom he begged to free him from the fairy dominion:

"Perhaps one of the earliest and most famous literary accounts of such a taking is that concerning Aedh, son of Eochaid Lethderg son of the King of Leinster, who is represented as contemporary with Patrick. ... While Aedh was enjoying a game of hurley with his boy companions near the sidh of Liamhain Softsmock, two of the sidh-women, who loved the young prince, very suddenly appeared, and as suddenly took him away with them into a fairy palace and kept him there three years.

" It happened, however, that he escaped at the end of that time, and, knowing the magical powers of Patrick, went to where the holy man was, and thus explained himself :— ‘Against the youths my opponents I (i. e. my side) took seven goals; but at the last one that I took, here come up to me two women clad in green mantles ... Either of them took me by a hand, and they led me off to a garish brugh; whereby for now three years my people mourn after me, the sidh-folk caring for me ever since, and until last night I got a chance opening to escape from the brugh, when to the number of fifty lads we emerged out of the sidh and forth upon the green. Then it was that I considered the magnitude of that strait in which they of the sidh had had me, and away from the brugh I came running to seek thee, holy Patrick.’ ‘That,’ said the saint, ‘shall be to thee a safeguard, so that neither their power nor their dominion shall any more prevail against thee.’

"And so when Patrick had thus made Aedh proof against the power of the fairy-folk, he kept him with him under the disguise of a travelling minstrel until, arriving in Leinster, he restored him to his father the king and to his inheritance: Aedh enters the palace in his minstrel disguise; and in the presence of the royal assembly Patrick commands him: ‘Doff now once for all thy dark capacious hood, and well mayest thou wear thy father’s spear!’ When the lad removed his hood, and none there but recognized him, great was the surprise. He seemed like one come back from the dead, for long had his heirless father and people mourned for him. ‘By our word,’ exclaimed the assembly in their joyous excitement, ‘it is a good cleric’s gift!’ And the king said: ‘Holy Patrick, seeing that till this day thou hast nourished him and nurtured, let not the Tuatha De Danann’s power any more prevail against the lad.’ And Patrick answered: ‘That death which the King of Heaven and Earth hath ordained is the one that he will have.’" How the Sidhe 'Took' Mortals.

Aedh, mac Eachdach, in the Irish Annals

Here are excerpts from the Irish annals that refer to an Aedh, son of Eochaidh. I have also included a few references to the Aedhs who were sons of Eochagains. Although Eochagain is probably not ordinarily a form of Eochaidh, some sources list it as a diminutive of Eochaidh..

Anglicized Forms of Hugh McGough—Since 1665

These names are in rough chronological order, based on the estimated birth date of the Hugh McGough listed. For this purpose, in the absence of other information, I assume 25 as the age of marriage and 70 as the life span. An estimated birth year is in brackets before many of the names to help preserve a chronlogical order. A question mark with the year means "wild guess."

There were surprisingly many Hugh McGoughs in Scotland, so I have listed them separately in a table below under the subheading Scotland.

Hugh mc Brian mcEaghy (probably a form of McAghy) was among the men of south county Monaghan granted pardons by the English in 1592. Farney Men of 1592, 1 Clogher Record #3, page 121 at 126.

Hugh McGeough is listed for 1665 in the townland of Monagor in the parish of Clontibret in the Hearth Money Rolls.

Hugh McGeough was on the Irish Flax Growers List of 1796 for the parish of Donaghmoyne, county Monaghan.

[1737?] Hugh McGeough, Rances, Tundonagh (1807) and Hugh McGough, Ranees (or Kanees), Findonagh (1809) Will # 521B, pg. 361, were listed by Michelle McGoff on her now-inactive web page: Wills & Administrations in County Monaghan (1734 - 1881). My guess is these entries should be: Hugh McGough, Raneese, Fintona. There is a townland of Raneese in the parish of Donacavey in the southern part of county Tyrone. A short distance to the west of Raneese is is the townland of Agharonan, where a John McGough is shown by Griffith's Valuation of 1860. See line #503 in the table in McGoughs, McGeoughs, and McGeoghs in Ireland in the 1820–30s and 1850–60s: By County, Parish, and Townland. Raneese and Agharonan are respectively 3 and 4 kilometers west of the town of Fintona, where there was an Owen McGough in 1860 (line #504 in the table just cited). See the entry under 1815 below.

[1750?] Hugh McGough was an American infantryman in the Revolutionary War. See the publication of the Historical Resources Branch, US Army Center of Military History, The Continental Army, Bibliography Pennsylvania: "McGough, Hugh. 'Orderly Book of the Pennsylvania State Regiment of Foot, May 10 to August 16, 1777.' Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 22 (1898), pp. 57–70, 196–210, 301–320, 475–478." He was probably born in Maryland in about 1750 (although his wife was born in 1740) and died in Harford county, Maryland, in 1779. He may have been a son of Miles McGough and Elizabeth Spencer. See my web pages: Hugh McGough, Soldier in the American Revolution, and McGoughs in Pre-Revolutionary America: Miles and Elizabeth Spencer McGough.

[1794] Hugh McGough is found in: Family Archive #273, Passenger and Immigration Lists: New York, 1820–1850. He arrived in New York from Liverpool aboard the Neptune at age 50 on July 9, 1844. His country of origin was Ireland. He was a farmer. Family Identification 30149636.

[1800?] A Hugh McGough is listed in Cavanakeeran, parish of Pomeroy, county Tyrone, Ireland, by the Tithe Applotment Book of 1829. Hugh McGough of Cavanakeeran, was the father of Hugh McGeogh, age 21, a laborer, who arrived in New York from Newry on May 10, 1849, aboard the James. See 1828, below. Cavanakeran is about 6 1/2 miles from Dungannon.

[1801] Hugh L. McGough was born on August 23, 1801, in Caldwell county, Kentucky, and died and was buried there on February 23, 1831. His father was John McGough who was born on October 20, 1773, perhaps in Pennsylvania, but probably in Maryland. (Some sources say that John McGough died on November 19, 1816, in Gibson County, Indiana, but it is more likely he died in Caldwell county, Kentucky, in 1828, when his older son Hugh was a surety on a guardian's bond for John's youngest son, Richard, who was 18 at the time.). John may have been a son of Miles McGough and Elizabeth Spencer. See my page: McGoughs in Pre-Revolutionary America: Miles and Elizabeth Spencer McGough. John McGough, the father of Hugh L. McGough, married Elizabeth Stevenson (1774–1841) on November 23, 1797. Hugh McGeo was listed as insolvent in 1823 on the Delinquent Tax List of Caldwell County, Kentucky. On October 10, 1828, Hugh L. McGough was a surety on a Caldwell County, Kentucky, Guardian's bond (PDF) in which Thomas M. McGough was appointed guardian of Richard B. McGough, heir and infant of John McGough, deceased. On June 20, 1829, Hugh McGough was a surety on another guardian's bond, William McChesney, guardian for Peggy Sigler.

[1807?] Hugh McGough died in Cortaghart, county Monaghan, in 1877. His is gravestone #1 in McGough and McGeough Gravestone Inscriptions in County Monaghan. He was buried in the graveyard adjoining St. Mary's church in Carickatee, townland of Annahaia, parish of Aghnamullen, diocese of Clogher, county Monaghan. He was probably born between 1800 and 1810.

[1815] "On a stone in a cemetery in Troy NY where my grandfather was born there is a stone for a Hugh McGough Native of Fintona county Tyrone March 10, 1850 age 35 erected by his wife Jane. When I first heard from the Historic Society there, they said Five Mile Town, but when I viewed it myself it was Fintona." Geraldine. Brooklyn NY. (Gara1931@aol.com). CoTyroneIreland-L Archives. Familysearch.com records the birth of a Hugh McGough in Fintona, county Tyrone, Ireland, in 1815, and his marriage there to Jane in about 1840. The IGI lists a Mrs. Jane McGeough born in Fintona in about 1819, who married Hugh McGough of Fintona in about 1840. The date of death of Hugh McGough is listed as March 20, 1850. See the entry under 1737 above. An ancestor of this Hugh may have been the Hugh McGeough of Raneese, Fintona, listed under [1737?] above.

[1848] On the same boat was another Hugh McGough, age 18, also a laborer. Perhaps they were father and son. The two names are listed next to each other on the ship's roster.

There are, in my table in McGoughs, McGeoughs, and McGeoghs in Ireland in the 1820–30s and 1850–60s: By County, Parish, and Townland, six listings of Hugh McGoughs in the townland of Cortaghart and adjacent townlands in county Monaghan: Hugh McGeogh (218) in Cooltrim in 1829, Hugh McGeough (227) in Cortaghart in 1829; Hugh McGeough (240) in Drumgor in 1829; Hugh McGough (220) in Cooltrim in 1858; Hugh McGough (215) in Carrickaldragh in 1858; and Hugh McGough (232) in Cortaghart in 1858. These all may be the Hugh McGough shown on gravestone inscription #1 as having died in 1877 in my page of gravestone inscriptions in county Monaghan. More likely, the several names represent a father and son. They are separated in the table because the surnames McGeogh, McGeough, and McGough are alphabetized.

Hugh McGough, with much variation of the spelling of McGough, appears as a tenant in the rent books of the Blayney estate in the townland of Formil and Cornalough, parish of Clontibret, county Monaghan, from the years 1828 through 1843. See McGoughs, McGeoughs, and McGeoghs in the Civil Parish of Clontibret.

The names and ages of the older three children correspond with those in the 1870 census, but the 1870 census names his wife as Bridget. Bridget died after the birth of their fourth child, Peter, in 1860, and that Hugh then married Ellen O'Brien about 1874, who was the mother of Rosana, John, Margaret, and several additional children. Hugh McGough died on November 9, 1899. After his death, Ellen (O'Brien) McGough married August Redenske in Kane County on August 16, 1900.
