Catherine or Kitty Commerford married John Campion in Freshford, Kilkenny in 1832. Their son John was baptized in Freshford the previous June. The couple had three children, John, Patrick (1834) and Mary (1835, in Ireland and emigrated about 1837 to America. They settled in Albany, NY and eventually had a total of 11 children: John, Patrick, Mary, Ellen (1838, Vermont), William, James, George, Martin, Catherine, Edward and Joseph. John married Eliza Mordan and had several children. However, he died in 1860, probably from an accident as a teamster. Only his son Michael, grandchild of John and Catherine, survived to become an adult. The other children took up various occupations and their descendants can still be found in the Albany area. Her son George was a carpenter who became an undertaker and the Campion funeral home operated in Albany for three generations.
