Notes

• According to Leslie May Donaghy AD's son Albert Donaghy Jr spent some time researching family history and discovered that the original records from the town in Ireland from which the Donaghy's originated (Omagh in County Tyrone in modern day Northern Ireland) were destroyed in a fire, so there may be a "dead end" on research into that branch of the family.
• Census gives 1836 birthdate, family document gives 1834. I will go with the family document for the moment.
