Descendants of Catherine CUSAK

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  CATHERINE1 CUSAK was born Abt. 1814.  She married JOHN FOGARTY.  He was born Abt. 1812 in These names from Edmond & Mary Ann's marriage Cert, and died in This is by far the most common spelling in Ireland.

 

Notes for JOHN FOGARTY:

FOGERTY John             1850    38      (Tipp)  Michael / Mary  both dead        None .  R.C.{husb of Cath,37}                             Ship =  Emmigrant

FOGERTY Catherine     1850    37      (Tipp)  John / Anne  LEAHY      Mother in Tipp. {&3ch=Micha     el,11;Ann,8 & John,6.}  Ship = Emmigrant

 

The above 2 lines are a ship record from County Tipperary - it excited me til I read the fine print at the beginning of the ship list in that it went to Australia - NOT the U.S. -   The Michael & Mary are parents of John who were both dead.    John & Anne LEAHY are parents of this Catherine, wife of John.   However the dates, ages and names (John & Catherine FOGERTY from Tipperary) all fit perfectly.     I've left it here to show how common a coincidence is likely to be assumed the answer until real details are analyzed - luckily available here, but often such details are not, thus assumptions are often left as "Fact" when they are not even close.

Generation No. 2

 

2.  EDMOND CHARLES *2 FOGERTY (CATHERINE1 CUSAK) was born Abt. 1833 in Golden Parish, Tipperary Co., Ireland - or 1838, and died in Allegedly worked on Brazos River boat-.  He married MARY ANN * MCGINNIS October 21, 1857 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Galveston, TX, daughter of PETER MCGUINNESS and JANE REILLY.  She was born 1838 in Annagh Parish, Cavan Co, Ireland - per marriage cert., and died in Possibly died in 1867 Yellow fever epidemic.

 

Notes for EDMOND CHARLES * FOGERTY:

March 2001:  I received papers from the Galveston-Houston Diocese in Houston, TX.   Lisa May, their archivist, has sent me many pages - Unfortunately they are not photo-copies of originals, but pages she has typed from the data on the originals.    The first is from the marriage registers of St. Mary Cathedral, Galveston, Texas, states:

 

"On the 21st day of October 1857, I joined into the holy bonds of Matrimony Edmond Charles FOGARTY, born in Parish of Golden, County of Tipperary, Ireland, son of John FOGERTY  and of Catherine CUSAK - of one part - and Mary Ann McGINNIS, born in the parish of Annagh, County of Caran, Ireland, daughter of Peter McGINNIS and of Jane REILLY.   Witnesses were:  John B. Farrell,  Martin McDirmott,  Mrs. Farrell and Mrs. McDirmott.  -  Joseph Anstaett, P.P."    (ed- I cannot find a Parish named Golden in Co. Tipperary - ag), and the McGinnis parish above is almost certainly County CAVAN - not CARAN.    I did find 4 references to an area that starts with Golden in Tipperary - see these 4 lines below:

 

  TOWNLAND     ACRES      COUNTY                 BARONY                  CIVIL PARISH                 PLU             PROVINCE

Goldengarden     330     Tipperary, S.R.      Kilnamanagh Lower            Kilpatrick               Cashel           Munster                                    

Goldengrove       101     Tipperary, S.R.      Eliogarty                             Inch                        Thurles          Munster

Goldenhills         108     Tipperary, S.R.      Clanwilliam            Relickmurry & Athassel      Tipperary       Munster                        

GOLDEN T.           xx     Tipperary, S.R.      Clanwilliam            Relickmurry & Athassel      Tipperary       Munster

 

I haven't yet figured out what PLU means - nor in fact what the 4th line infers differently than the other 3, but I assume there must be difference since acreage is apparently not pertinent.                                         

                                                                                       

 Unfortunately I cannot find death or burial records on either Edmond or Mary Ann.   And although I can find records showing births for 4 of their children, I cannot find a birth record for Jennie Louise.   I still hold on to the theory that both of these parents died in the Yellow Fever epidemic and that there were so many people dying then (over 1,200 died in less than 2 months in Galveston) - that death records were not kept and that mass burials were common.   See my notes on Jennie Fogerty, the woman I presume to be their youngest or near youngest child.   Also, Assuming that Jennie was born 1863 or 64, she was born in the middle of the Civil War, during which time, the war caused Galveston to change hands at least 3 times - surely creating havoc in record keeping - and I think it likely that children born during the upheavel likely never had birth records made, let alone preserved or just as likely births were never reported.

 

 Next, I could not believe the next discovery the above led to - almost serendipitously - I had kept a census of 3rd Ward of Galveston, Page 497B, because it listed an unknown woman,  J. McGANIS, the only person close to a McGinnis I could find on that census in Galveston.   I could not find any Fogertys - or any related spellings of which I checked many ! - but in light of the information sent from the Diocese, I reviewed that single census page again.   Cannot believe that this J. McGANIS, age 40, female born in Ireland - is almost certainly Jennie's maternal Grandmother - and it explains why I couldn't find Edmond & Mary Ann living in Galveston on the 1860 census, when we now know they had children born there in 1858, 1860 & 1861.   This census taker appears to have written the head of household that J. McGANIS was living with as LAGERTY, or LAGERLY.    I feel certain this is Edmond FOGERTY's census listing.

Below  is the listing I've copied directly from the census page - also in reviewing other Capital letters this census taker wrote - many of her capital letters look the same - F's, L's, T's & even S's !! - a scan of this actual census is in Edmond's scrapbook.

 

970  963  E. LAGERTY - 22 (or 27?) Male,  SEAMAN  - $1000 value of Real Estate - born in Ireland

                 Mary              22             Female,                                                              Ireland

                 Edward            2               M                                                                      Texas

                 Kitty                4 mos.       F                                                                       Texas

               J. McGANIS      40              F                                                                        Ireland

               Eliz. FOSTER   50              F                                                                        England

 

I haven't yet figured out if the Foster woman above is connected or just a boarder as it doesn't list any connections of any of the people.

If I were to design the listing as we know the exact people's names & Birth years (if known) including the children's it would look like this for comparison:

 

              Edmond FOGERTY                                                                                        Ireland

              Mary Ann                                                                                                       Ireland

              Edward                  2 years                                                  Texas

              Catharina Helena  4 mos.                                                                             Texas

              Jane McGINNIS                                                                                             Ireland

 

Kitty is certainly an acceptable nickname for Catharina and the 2 children's ages fit exactly with the birth years known from the St. Mary's certificates, and we know from Edmond & Mary Ann's marriage certificate that Mary Ann's Mother was named Jane McGinnis then.   Also we know that both parents were born in Ireland and both children born in Texas from the marriage and baptismal records.    ]

 

The baptism records of St. Mary's Cathedral show the following 4 children born to Edmond & Mary Ann Fogerty - note the exact but various spellings on these and the marriage records as I've recorded the way the archivist sent them:

1.) Edward Charles FOGERTY - born July 30, 1858 - baptized Aug. 16, 1858, Sponsor Joanna Pendergast - Vol. 2, Pg. 230

2.) Catharina Helena FOGARTY - b. March 1, 1860 - baptized April 2, 1858, Sponsors Edward McGinnis & Jane McGinnis - Vol. 2, Pg. 420

3.) Theresa FOGARTY - "about 2 months old" when she was baptized July 8, 1861 - the sponsor was Theresa McGinnis - Vol. 2, Pg. 531

4.) Jane Margaret FOUGHARTY - b. May 22, 1862 - baptized July 26, 1862 - sponsors S. L. Farrell & Mary Ann Farrell - Vol. 1, Pg. 709

 

There were no other children listed under many spellings - at least per Ms. May at the Archives - I was not allowed to do the search on my own.   Jennie Louise  was apparently not found at least - the only real birth information I've found is from Jennie's gravestone which would be:

5.) Jennie Louise FOGERTY - b. May 21, 1864

 

Interesting that I've also had confirmation of an earlier finding of a FOGARTY death listing in the "Record of Intements of The City of Galveston 1859-1872" listing:   "______ FOGARTY - White Male Stillborn - delivered dead & Buried Feb. 4, 1864 - Residence= Galveston, Nativity =Texas, Cemetery =Catholic"   That's all there is.     If this was a sibling of Jennie's then her Birthdate is wrong.... if a twin, then could be only a few months off, but if not a twin, then is several months in error.    OR  it could be a child of a sibling of Edmond's, as of course Jennie could instead be, since we still cannot prove Edmond & Mary Ann to be her parents.

Fogarty

                                                   Fogarty, in Irish Ó Fógartaigh, from fógartach

                                                   thought to mean outlawed or exiled, is a name

                                                   which is indelibily associated with Co.

                                                   Tipperary, the place of its origin. Eliogarty, the

                                                   name of an ancient barony in the south of the

                                                   county derives from the family. The centre of

                                                   the family power was at Castlefogarty, in the

                                                   civil parish of Ballycahill near the modern town

                                                   of Thurles.

McGuinness

    MacGuinness, together with its variants Guinness, Magennis, MacNeice, MacCreesh and

 others, comes from the Irish Mac Aonghusa, from the personal name Aonghus ("Angus"),

made up of aon "one" and ghus "choice", which was borne by a famous eighth-century Pictish

 king of Scotland, said to be a son of the Irish god Daghda and Boann, the goddess who gave

 her name to the river Boyne. The surnameoriginated in Iveagh, in what is now Co. Down;

 legend has it that Iveagh (Uí Eachaigh) took its name from one Eocha Cobha, a semi-mythical

 ancestor of Aonghus. The McGuinnesses displaced the O'Haugheys in the twelfth century,

 ruling over virtually all of Co. Down for the following four centuries, down to the end of the old

 order in 1690. Like many other families of the old Gaelic aristocracy, they had an elaborate

 inauguration ceremony for their leader, the chief of their name, with strong pre-Christian

 elements. The ceremony centred on the Coiseach Aonghuis, Aongus’s footstone, with the

 imprint of a foot in the rock; if a true McGuinness placed his foot in it, a "pleasant humming

 sound" would result. Needless to say, impostors, and their fraudulent feet, met unspeakable

 ends. The stone is still in existence outside Warrenpoint in Co. Down.  Louis MacNeice (1907-63)

 was born in Belfast and educated in England. In the 1930s he was associated with the group of

 young poets which included Auden, Spender and Day-Lewis. The better-known Northern Irish

 poets of the 1970s and 1980s have claimed his mordant, witty and well-crafted poems as poetic

 forebears. The centre of the family power was at Rathfriland, ten miles from Newry. In the

 sixteenth century they accepted the Reformation and but joined in the later wars against the

 English, and were dispossessed of all their lands. The castle at Rathfriland was completely

 destroyed in 1641. The name is now common in Connacht and Leinster, as well as its original

 homeland of Ulster. A southern offshoot of the family adopted the variant MacCreesh, and in

 Monaghan, Fermanagh and south Down that name was used as an equivalent of McGuinness.

 North of the original homeland, in Co. Antrim, a similar process occurred, with MacNiece or

 MacNeice the variant adopted there. The arms illustrated are those of the ancient lords of Iveagh

 and reflect their rule in Ulster, incorporating both the red hand of the province and the principal

 heraldic symbol of royal power, the lion rampant.  The most famous instance of the surname is

 of course in the name of the black beer brewed at St. James’s Gate in Dublin. The founder of the

 brewery, Arthur Guinness, came from a family long settled in Celbridge in Co. Kildare, but with

 roots in Co. Down. Although Guinness is now a multi-national company, the descendants of

 the founder are still prominent in its management. The family awareness of the antiquity of its

 ancestral connections is reflected in the choice of title when Edward Cecil Guinness was created

 First Earl of Iveagh in 1909. This was in fact the second creation. The first Viscounts Iveagh

 were supporters of King James in the Williamite wars; after his defeat Brian Magennis, second

 Viscount Iveagh, fought and died with the Austrian Imperial Army as the head of Iveagh’s

 regiment, while his brother Roger, third Viscount Iveagh, fought in the armies of both France

 and Spain.

Children of EDMOND FOGERTY and MARY MCGINNIS are:

                   i.    JENNIE * LOUISE3 FOGERTY, b. May 21, 1864, Texas, Both parents from Ireland - see NOTES; d. December 11, 1907, Galveston, TX, age 43, Poss mother; McGinnis; m. HARRY * LOUIS BARON, May 25, 1881, St. Mary's Cathedral, Galveston, Texas; b. August 30, 1857, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, LA (or 1859?); d. June 8, 1912, Galveston, TX, ; also is seen as Henri - See NOTES.

 

Notes for JENNIE * LOUISE FOGERTY:

Very frustrating finding out much about Jennie.  She is listed in the 1880 census as FOGHARTY (Page 081 - SNDX=F263) of Galveston as a servant. The census shows both of Jennie's parents as being from Ireland. We are fairly certain she was an orphan and lived at least her early teenage years in a Catholic orphanage - presumably, but never proven to be the one in Galveston, TX.   Some of Nora's presently living sister's children (Zinia Hardy -Jennies oldest Grandchild) recall their Aunt Stelle talking about Jennie falling out of a horse carriage as a young adult when the horse became frightened.  This caused her a serious leg & back injury which left her permanently disabled.  She died at age 43 or 44 of unknown causes.  Attempts to find her listed anyplace prior to the 1880 census has resulted in nothing.  Some in the family thought they remembered hearing her Grandmother was named McGINNIS and that the Grandmother took care of Jennie in her youngest years, but this is as yet unproven. Also it has been mentioned that her Father was a river boatman on the Brazos River in Texas (hence, the title I've written here of Captain ? Fogerty). Allegedly all the orphanage records from St.Mary's church and hospital in Galveston were never found after the great hurricane of 1900, which devastated most of the Island. We are not even certain this was the orphanage she was at but has been presumed to be the correct one. Another interesting note is found in the 1860 tax assessment records (Pg.16 or 18?) in Galveston County showing a Charles FOGERTY owning some land in the county.  Unfortunately there is nothing associated with this to show a connection to Jennie and the writing is next to illegible.  I found 2 FOGARTY names in the 1860, Texas census index: 1.) Thomas @ Maverick Co, Fort Duncan, Pg.515.   2.) M. FOGARTY @ Harris Co., Town of Harris, Pg.350.   Also there was a vague note in some book that I poorly documented because I only thought it might be important after I left Texas, that I found at the Houston genealogical library....the best I can now recall about this was mention of an infant dying in about 1864 named Fogerty, I believe in Galveston County.  I wondered if this was a younger sib of Jennie - and may in fact have resulted in the death of her mother ?; obviously I should try to find this resource again and also attempt a more in-depth search for  Charles Fogerty.  Also my Aunt Phoebe May Sims recalls a story that Jennie had a Brother who was never heard of after the 1900 storm and was presumed dead, but no one can recall his name!  Evelyn DePHILLIPI says that Jennie had a close relative in Ireland who was a Bishop (Bishop FOGERTY), but no further details.  The various spellings that I have come across are: Foggarty, Fogharty, Fogerty, & Fogarty.  Another possible lead is the GRS CD-ROM Mortality records 1850-1880 lists a Michael P. FOGERTY (sndx=F263) born in Ireland, died when shot as a 24 y.o. army soldier in Medina Co., Texas, July (1850) .... the year is confusing as there is no information about the record except says Texas mortuary school? and it lists only decade dates 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, so I suspect could have died anywhere from 1850 to +/- 10 years? I also bet that Jennie never new the actual year she was born if she was an orphan as we assume.  So it is possible that this was her father, as are all the others mentioned here.

On her daughter's baptism statement she is listed as Fannie instead of Jennie.  Probably clerical error?

         March 2001. Trip to Galveston/Houston-I failed totally in finding any photos of Jennie or Harry in my going through every closet and attic space I could find at 723 Ave. F.   However, I've learned a possibly important perspective on the history of the St. Mary's Orphanage in Galveston.   In the summer of 1867 a Yellow Fever Epidemic caused over 1,200 deaths in Galveston in only about 2 months.   Many health care workers were called upon to help out at the new St. Mary's Hospital (Charity Hospital then) - By the time the disease abated by October, there were many extra catholic nuns suddenly not needed, but there also were many parent-less children suddenly.   This apparently was the main impetus for initiating the orphanage.    Now, I've not yet proven that either of Jennie's parents died in the epidemic, but the dates fit nicely with that theory.   At the recommendation of Linda Macdonald, I then visited the Villa de Matel in Houston - this is a beautiful site that houses retired nuns and one of their nuns who has died wrote a book that included much of the history of the early Catholic Galveston hospital & orphanage.    Unfortunately there were so many deaths in such a short period of time that documentation of the deaths was a low priority then.   A person at the Galveston Cathedral suggested phoning Lisa May at the Galveston-Houston Diocese in Houston.   Lisa is an archivist for the Diocese, who still insists there are absolutely NO records from the orphanage remaining since the 1900 storm.   However she has found  documentation of several Fogerty children born to a couple, Edmond Fogerty & Mary Ann McGinnis - none named Jennie - but one born 1862 named Jane ! - ?? -  There is also one child born to C.P. Fogerty.   I suspect this latter man is the same one mentioned in the first paragraph above, as Charles who owned property in Galveston on tax records of 1860.   Lisa is mailing me as much information that she can find on all Fogerty & McGinnis names after further research.   

 

  --- See notes on daughter, Nora & Father, Edmond also.  

   April, 2001 - records from the Galveston-Houston Diocese arrive from Lisa May.  She has sent copies she typed - but not photo-copies of original documents.  I've recorded the entire contents of the marriage of the couple that I presume to be Jennie's parents under Edmond Fogerty, the man I believe to be Jennie's Father.   It lists all 4 of those presumed to be Grandparents of Jennie and the Parish & County origins in Ireland of both those I presume to be parents of Jennie - that is Edmond Charles FOGERTY &  Mary Ann McGINNIS.   Jennie is not listed among the 4 of their children the dioceses have baptism records of.   - but Lisa May, the Diocese archivist who sent the records to me after her research, believes it is possible the latest child, listed as Jane Margaret FOUGHARTY, daughter of E.C. FOUGHARTY and Mary Ann McGENNIS (this is the spellings shown) - and born May 22, 1862.   Now this is obviously still speculation that this is Jennie Louise.    The difference in date doesn't bother me as much as the name - especially the middle name - Jane could easily be altered by the orphanage as Jennie might be considered a nickname for Jane - but Margaret instead of Louise ? - the May 22nd date is actually only ONE day off the one of May 21st listed on Jennie's gravestone.   But of course the years are off by two - 1862 instead of the 1864 (both in the middle of the Civil War) date shown on Jennie's gravestone.   I can still accept this just on the basis of records changing in the process of both parents dying and the orphanage would be presumed to not be too concerned about the middle names of their younger orphans, who themselves probably didn't even know their middle names.   Of course I would think the orphanage could have found their baptism records, since they were all presumed to be in the Catholic church of Galveston at the time Jennie's parents died.    However if this occurred during the yellow fever epidemic, it would be also presumed that no one cared too much about bothering to search and look up those kind of details in stored records with over 1,200 people dying and probably about 6 times that number very ill - a high percentage of the total population of the island involved over only 2 months.    I can also imagine that birth & baptismal records may not have been kept on Jennie & others born during the middle of the Civil War - as Galveston did change hands twice during this period.   So that may account for there not being records for Jennie and this Jane therefore would really be her sister - not really Jennie -  but still Jennie would likely be a child of Edmond and Mary Ann.   There were no records for any other Fogerty at the diocese of that era and the finding of the McGinnis name as the mother seems the real clincher as that was the name Nora and her sisters all handed down as somehow connected to the Fogerty line of Jennie's.

Notes for HARRY * LOUIS BARON:

H. BARON is listed as a 3 year old male in the 1860 census @ Lynchburg, Harris County, Texas, living with M. Baron 34 overseer, L.N. BARON 30 female, L. BARON 7 female, M. Jr. 10 male, & A.L. BARON 11 female. All these Baron's show state of birth as Louisiana. It appears from this census that they were living with F.R. LUBBOCK 45 stockraiser born in S.C., A.B.Lubbock 42 female from Louisiana & T.U. LUBBOCK 18 male student from Texas.  See NOTES on Harry's Father Marius.  In 1877-78, the Houston City Directory listed "Harry Baron, cooper, Rohde & Hoencke, boarding with Lane Buck (Lane was also a Cooper, and thus probably taught Harry his trade).  At the time Lane Buck was residing on the north side of Chenovert, between Clay & Bill Sts. in Houston.  By 1880-81, Harry was not listed; He had apparently returned to Galveston where he was married May 25, 1882 to Jennie Louise Foggarty.  In 1887-1888 Marius Baron was working for Lane Buck and living in his home.   He and Jennie BARON are buried in the Calvary Cemetery on 61st.

His marriage certificate lists him as Louis Henri  BARON - and born Aug. 30, 1857.   His cemetery stone shows him as Harry L. Baron and born Aug. 30, 1859.   On the other side of that stone I know that Arthur SIMS, Sr.'s BD is one year in error however.    See Harry & Jennie's stone under My Mother, Marion Griffith's scrapbook.
