The Griffiths Valuation (early 1850s?) shows a Michael and Bernard Digan in the Parish of Kilmanaghan, Town of Moate, Dublin Road (Legan). Charles, Edward and James Egan are in the same parish.
My great grandfather Michael Dignam/Dignum was from Westmeath and settled in Albany NY.His family arrived about 1835.Michael's first wife was Ellen Ham from Westmeath and my great grandmother, the second wife was Bridget Eagan/Egan, but I have not been able to determine hercounty of origin.
