Many thanks for sorting that connection out- do you have the details about his death, etc.- if not, I can send them to you.

Thank you all for everything! I take it some of you are related to these families as well? Aghadowey, I would like that info too if you don't mine?

There was a cousin in Brooklyn named Bernard Dillon, who was involved with politics somehow.

I'd love to have that information Aghadowey. I'm involved in a little group with ancestors from the Garvagh area...Sheila8 and I have shared a lot of information...though Sheila has given me more than I've returned!
I'm not related to Patrick....well maybe an in-law of an in-law of an in-law because everyone in the area seems to be related if you go back far enough!!!My family are O'Kane's from Garvagh (the Commercial Hotel)

[k46489]

What sort of Garvagh group do you two maintain? Well, at least we belong to the same Tuath(Nation or Tribe), the O'Kanes were the rulers but the O'Diamonds were the spiritual leaders of the Ciannachta!

Nothing official...I'm in touch with Sheila and  a few others.Sheila has been researching the families in the area for a long and she has been very helpful to me.

Hello,
         I am the great great great grandson of Patrick Hegarty and his wife Mary Dillon.  Patrick and Mary had at least 12 children, whom I have details of.  I also have photographs of two of them and details of their descendants.  

"Familyroutes" on this post has been a contact of mine for over five years and alerted me to this post.

My great great grandmother was Rose Hegarty who married William Rafferty.  We (the Raffertys) have always thought that we are the only descendants of Patrick and Mary in Ireland, but I am aware of some of the American connections.  I'd love to be proved wrong!  The Raffertys eventually inheirited the Hegarty homeplace and live there until this day.

k46489, we must definitely be cousins! Please email me at (*)

We can talk more then, I'm very interested!
