Dear Roger,
I have discovered from baptism records at St. Patrick's Church in Binghamton New York that my great grandmother, JOHANNA/ANNIE KENNEDY was born ELIZA MEAGHER KENNEDY and JOHN KENNEDY on 4 Feb 1868 and baptized 2-7-1868. This diagrees with your death date of Eliza Meagher.
She was married to my g grandfather, Martin JOHN LAWSON in Ocot 1890 at St. Leo Magnus church in Ridgway, PA by a Fr. MICHAEL MEAGHER born 5 Sep 1850 died 17 Oct 1925.Achieved status of Msgr.
I suspect Fr. Michael Meagher is somehow related to Johanna's mother Eliza.I have a bio on Michael from the diocese in Erie, PA.He had a brother and an uncle who were also priests.Their names are Martin and Martin M. Meagher.Our archivist at the Erie diocese theorizes that they are an uncle and a newphew to Michael.
