I have found quite a bit of information about the Callahan family of County Leitrim who came to Philadelphia in the 1870's. Their parents were John Callahan and Mary O'Reilly. I don't have the full name of the town, it was not legible but the letters were Duncrie... They had the following children: Matthew, John, Mary (later Sr. Mary Valeria ssj), Bridget Callahan and in Ireland Patrick Kellagher.<p>Kellaghers later lived in Corrawallen, Mullaghboy, County Leitrim<br>Does anyone have additional information, such as parishes, etc.<p>Your help is appreciated; my information to be shared.

We spell our name a little differently but maybe its just a misquote or something.<br>I have a great grandfather Patrick Kelleher probably born about 1864. As I said, just curious.

Re: Callahan/Kellagher and O'Reilly
It is hard to tell with the information which I currently have. I may be able to tell you with further research. If it is true, he was alive in 1905. I have a letter which he wrote to one of his sisters in the US. His parents would have been John Calaghan (or Kellagher) and Mary O'Reilly.<br>Their parish was Drumreilly.<p>Good luck

My grandfather had several older sisters<br>some of whom were in the US. I know of Annie, Margaret and Theresa<br>but I'm not sure who was in the US. Any of those names ring a bell?<p>
