I am descended from farmer Michael Callaghan & Mary Mahony from Inchigeelagh who had children from 1828-1845 John, Jacob, Michael, Daniel, Patrick, James, Margaret, Jeremiah & Denis. Denis was married in 1875 in Clondrohid Parish, Cork. I don't have any other information on the other members of this family.

I know more about his son Thomas. Callaghan,   Thanks.
