Name Hugh MEEHAN [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Relationship with John Louis CARR

Born DEC 1860 County Cavan, Ireland [3, 7, 8]

A note in Thomas Francis Meehan's file indicts birth: Balamoor, Knockfinn, POB Lietram County Kavan (sic), Ireland. That note likely refers to his father Hugh.

The "Ireland birth & baptisms" source reflects a birth year of 1865 while most Stateside records reflect Dec 1860.

Gender Male

Arrival 1888 [3, 9]

Ed Walsh notes in his tree that Hugh came to America when he was 15 yrs old which would have been in ~1875. However, the 1900 US Census reflects an arrival in 1888 which made him 28 and the 1910 US Census reflects an arrival in 1895 which made him 35.
