Decendants
of Charles McClafferty
Name and Location:
Cliff and Peggy Finney - California
Charles McClafferty and Ellen Clark
Below is an account of all that I know about the McClafferty clan. I got most
if not all of this information from my cousin Jack who is also doing research on
the McClafferty family.
The McClafferty's, near as I can figure, came from County Donegal, Clondahorkey,
Ireland. I beleive that 2 brothers, Charles and his brother Cornelius came to
the United States together in the mid 1800's but I am not positive regarding
this.
The only information I have on Cornelius is that he married Mariam (Mary) Annam
(Ann or Anna) Donnelly of County Tyrone, Cappagh, Ireland P.M.G.(?) on 1/26/1862
per the records of St. John Gualbert Church. The witnesses were Cornelius McHugh
and Ellena (Ellen) McCormick.
I am presuming that Charles and Cornelius are brothers as family lore has it
that the 2 brothers came to the United States together. Their marriage dates
were only 4 years apart and the records for both are at St. John Gualbert
Church.
If anyone has corrections or additions to add to this page, please feel free to
let me know. This page is ongoing as there is never a true end to family.
