Egan/Eagan from Co. Kerry, Lawrence, MA, New England
I am looking for descendants of the Egan (or Eagan) family of Lawrence, Massachusetts, who came from near Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland.My father was Walter Egan, and his father was Jeremiah Egan, who moved from County Kerry in the 1890s to Lawrence, Massachusetts.Jeremiah had siblings John, Martin, Patrick, Maurice and Daniel, who reportedly all came to America.They were born in the townlands of Ballyseedy, Ballycarty and Ballymacelligott near Tralee.Jeremiah's Parents were Patrick Egan and Mary Moriarty.I have information on John Egan (or Eagan) from Lawrence, who was listed in the 1895 Lawrence City Directory in the following format: "Eagan, John, hostler, 282 Common, boards 274 Elm."He reportedly left Lawrence, MA, went to another New England state where he became a lumberjack.If anyone has information on how I can track down information on John Egan/Eagan, or other descendants, I would appreciate it.
