Hi Cathie,
WOW, Atleast I have found someone close at hand who is working on the same name as I.
My husband's grandmother was Mary McDermott, dau of John McDermontt and Johanna Hartigan. This is the 2nd marriage for John as he was married when he came to this county. First wife Janeand 2 sons died and he married Johanna in St Mary's Cath Ch in Hudson.
I have Johanna Hartigan McDermott's death certificate and she is the daug of James Hartigan and Mary Burns. I find reference to Mary Burns and think she may have beenliving with the McDermotts at one time.
Am going crazy trying to find out where john McDermott was before coming to Hudson aas he is in the 1850census and then in 1855 he is a citizen.
Am going over to the Archives in Pittsfield next week i hoppe, weather permitting to see what I can find on census recordsThe passenger lists are over there.
Possibile that your John and James may be brothers?? Do you have any idea when he came to this country?
Will look forward to hearing from you.
I live down in Claverack.
