Hi,
I am trying to find information on the McEntee Family from County Cavan, Ireland.
My 4th great grandfather was Terence McEntee b. 1812 in Lisbree, Drung, County Cavan, Ireland. He died in Ballyhally, Drung, County Cavan, Ireland.
His son was John McEntee b. 12 Apr 1850 in Cavan, Cavan, Ireland and he died 17 Nov 1931 in Dallas, Texas, USA.
John's daughter was Anna McEntee b. 18 May 1869 in County Cavan?, Ireland. Her death certificate shows that she was born in Dublin. I will attach a copy of the certificate. Anna died on 26 July 1926 in Rowlett, Dallas County, TX, USA.
Anna's birthmother's maiden name was Murphy. I cannot find any reference to her first name anywhere. She was born in Ireland, but that is all that I know about her.
Anna's father, John, married an Elizabeth Fae (also born in Ireland) on 15 Jan 1893. They had two sons in 1893 and 1895.
From the information I've been able to find, it looks like John McEntee was about 19 years old when Anna was born. I don't know if her mother died at some point or if Anna was born out of wedlock or if her parents divorced.
Anna was married at 14 or 15 years of age to a Michael Herbert, who was 46 at the time. I would love to find out the details on that. That seems a little creepy.
Thank you for any information you can provide !
Bridgett
