Captain Cavanaugh

[mccartyr]

Hon. Robert Macauley, attorney, Menomonie (WI), was born February 18, 1838,
in Glasgow, Scotland. His parents, Robert and Margaret (Cavanaugh) Macauley,
immigrated to the United States in 1843.... The grandfather on the mother's
side was Captain Cavanaugh, who distinguished himself in France, while
fighting under the illustrious Wellington.

The above is from:
Historical and Biographical Album of the Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin
Chicago, A. Warner, 1891-92, p. 476.

I Would like to find out more about this grandfather, Captain Cavanaugh. It
seems the grandmother was named Harriet, possibly Harriet Wright, b. 1785,
Ireland. The father and mother were born in Belfast, just before 1810.

Any leads would be appreciated.
