Wow, thank you so much again for replying so quickly! I did not yet have that information regarding John and Charles' voyage from NY to Liverpool. Do you by chance have a link to that information/who they were travelling with?

The two sons were born in NY City (possibly both in New Rochelle?); John Campbell Davitt (unknown location in NY) on 3 August 1892 and Charles Davitt (in New Rochelle) on 17 Jan 1894.  Hopefully that's helpful.

I recently received this information from the County Cavan Genealogy Centre in Cavan town:
"The marriage of John Davit and Jane Camble took place in the Roman Catholic Chapel of Corick, parish of Kilsherdany, County Cavan on 10 September 1890. This church is located between Cavan town and Cootehill town. (Group Registration ID: 2547589, SR District/Reg Area: Cootehill)." I'm not 100% sure that these are the John Davitt and Jane Campbell that I am related to, but the dates line up really well! Any chance that helps?
Again thank you so much for looking into all this for me, you've been such a huge help!

Thank you so much for replying so quickly! I really appreciate you looking into Hugh and Jane Campbell for me.  I did see that they were married in Scotland and that their daughter Jane was born there.  I should've including that info in the "what I know" section, thank you though!! 
Where I'm running into trouble is finding info on when/where their daughter Jane married John Davitt (or Davit/Devitt), and any info on him whatsoever.  Any help or tips there would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello! My name is Steven Davitt and I'm wondering if anyone has information about Davitt's or Campbell's from the Drum area of Monaghan.  The info that I have shows my Great x3 Grandparents, Hugh and Jane (nee Cullivan) Campbell farmed in Drummany from about 1864 to the time of their death in the early 1900's (1908 and 1913 respectively).  Before they lived in Drummany, they were in Scotland for an unknown period of time and had a daughter, Jane Campbell.  This Jane, I believe, married my Great x2 Grandfather, John Davitt (or Davit/Devitt) about 1890, and the two of them emigrated to New York where they had two sons: John C. Davitt and Charles (my Great Grandfather) Davitt.  Their mother Jane tragically died in childbirth giving birth to Charles and the two young boys where sent back to Ireland to live with their Grandparents, Hugh and Jane Campbell, where they lived until they moved back to the States as adults.  I would love to hear more about the Campbell's but especially about the Davitt's/Devitt's. I believe that both the Campbell's and the Davitt's were Catholic if that helps at all!
I am new to this site, but I am excited to learn more! Thanks!
