Descendants
of William McLaughlin Jr. (1793-1853)
William McLaughlin Sr. (1793-1853) was born in Ireland and lived on the western shore of the peninsula of Inishowen on the east shore of Lough Swilly (pronounced Sooley) in the hamlet of Linsfort Glebe in the Parish of Desertegny in County Donegal, 14 miles from the city of Londonderry. He and his wife, Molly Quigley (1796-1856), had seven sons and four daughters, several of whom emigrated to the United States.
This page is devoted to the descendants of William McLaughlin Jr., who married Mary McHugh (1842-1908) in County Donegal, Ireland. They moved to Skaneateles, NY after the birth of their first child.
Here is the description provided by the Skaneateles Free Press in its obituary on Friday, July 2, 1809:
William McLaughlin, a well-known and highly respected resident of this town for the past forty years, was found dead in the barn on his premises, just north of this village, at 6 o’clock yesterday morning. His death was caused by heart disease.
He was born in County Donegal, Ireland, seventy-three years ago. He came to the United States when a young man and settled in Skaneateles in the ‘60s.
For many years he was employed as a blacksmith in the Kelley shop in the village, but retired from active work a few years since.
He was faithful in all the walks of life, and will be missed by his children and many friends. He is survived by five children – Assemblyman McLaughlin of Jordan, Miss Annie McLaughlin of Hudson, N.Y., William J. McLaughlin and Miss Elizabeth McLaughlin of this town, and one daughter, a nun, now in Belgium.
He is also survived by four brothers and one sister – James McLaughlin of Skaneateles Falls, John McLaughlin of Auburn, Hugh McLaughlin of Brooklyn, N.Y., Cornelius McLaughlin of Ireland, and Mrs. Timothy Donohue of this village.
Funeral services will be held at St. Mary’s church tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 10 o’clock. Interment in St. Mary’s cemetery.
