Hi Laurence
The General's son, TFMII, had two sons - Thomas Francis Meagher III (b.1884) and Gerard Meagher. TFMIII married Edna Hayes and they had two children: James Francis Meagher of Napa City, CA and Helen Meagher Carr of Vallejo, CA. The above James Francis had at least two children, James Timothy Meagher (born 1944/45) and Karron (sic) Marie Meagher (born 1942/43) of Napa CA. The above Helen Meagher Carr had at least one child, John L. Carr (born 1939/40) of Vallejo CA —see letter dated 30 June 1946 from Edna Meagher to Prof. Robert G. Athearn of the University of Minnesota. John L. Carr is the current owner of the grave in which TFMIII is buried. TFMIII bought this plot in 1913 and had the bodies of his wife’s relatives exhumed from two other sites and re-interred there. This grave is at Saint Helena Cemetery, 2461 Spring Street, St. Helena, California, 94574. TFMIII is buried in lot 19, block 22. Cemetery records indicate that he died 2 March 1943, at age 58. The cause of death was pneumonia and residence at time of death is recorded as Vallejo, CA. He is buried next to Edna Hayes Meagher (1891-1979). Only one other Meagher is included in this grave and that is Gerard Meagher.
Last year Waterford city council dedicated a new equestrian statue of the General and I tried to make contact with the General's descendants in California so that we could invite one of them to the dedication. I obtained a list of the telephone numbers of the most likely candidates but none of them proved to be a descendant.
Best wishes
David
