Jeremiah HUDSON [Parents] was born about 1830 in probably Duagh, Co. Kerry. He died 20 May 1905 in Chicago and was buried in Calvary Cemetery, Evanston, Illinois. Jeremiah married Martha MCLOUGHLIN about 1864 in probably Philadelphia area.

Jeremiah emigrated to the United States in 1860. He and his family lived in New Jersey before settling in Chicago. It's believed Jeremiah lived with his daughter, Clara, and her family after the death of Martha, his wife.

Martha MCLOUGHLIN was born 1835 in Pennsylvania or Ireland. She died before 1900. Martha married Jeremiah HUDSON about 1864 in probably Philadelphia area.

Francis (Frank) John HUDSON [Parents] was born about 1831 in probably Duagh, Co. Kerry. He died 9 Nov 1898 in Philadelphia and was buried in Cathedral Cemetery, Philadelphia. Francis married Margaret FINNIGAN on 21 Apr 1869 in Church of the Annunciation, Philadelphia.

Frank emigrated to the United States with his younger brother Patrick in 1853. He was a Marine in the Civil War and saw service on the Roanoke with Patrick. Frank settled in Philadelphia where he worked as a plasterer. I've been told Frank and his wife, Margaret, were second cousins once removed and were married by special dispensation. However if they were related, as is thought, through Margaret's Finucane grandfather (probably named Frank) who it's believed was a brother of Frank Hudson's mother, Margaret Finucane, then they would have been first cousins once removed.    

According to Bill Hudson's 'The Hudsons of County Kerry and their Descendants', Frank had a cousin named Kate Hudson (1848-1888) who emigrated to the United States and lived with Frank and his family. It's not clear how exactly Kate fits in to the Hudson family tree. Kate married a Mr. McKay or Mackey and they had a daughter, Maria, who was raised by Frank and his wife.

Margaret FINNIGAN [Parents] was born 1842 in Philadelphia. She died 25 Nov 1919 in Philadelphia. Margaret married Francis (Frank) John HUDSON on 21 Apr 1869 in Church of the Annunciation, Philadelphia.

Margaret and her husband, Frank Hudson, were either first or second cousins once removed (through the Finnigans - the family changed their name from Finucane after their arrival in the United States).   

Because Margaret, Frank and their family are listed in the 1880 census return for Margaret's parents' household, it's possible they lived with Margaret's parents for a time.

John SWEENEY [Parents] died 1931 and was buried in the Abbey, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. He married Elizabeth 'UNKNOWN'.

Elizabeth 'UNKNOWN' was born about 1868. She died Apr 1960 and was buried in the Abbey, Mourneabbey, Co. Cork. Elizabeth married John SWEENEY.

Daniel (Dan) ENRIGHT was born in possibly Pulleen, Tarbert, Co. Kerry. He died before 31 Mar 1901. Daniel married Ellen MCELLIGOTT.

Dan opened a pub and general store on Main St. in Moyvane which is run today (as a pub only) by Dan's great-great-grandson, Dermot Enright. The original bar was knocked down in 1967 to build a new one.

Ellen MCELLIGOTT was born in Moyvane, Co. Kerry. She died probably after 2 Apr 1911. Ellen married Daniel (Dan) ENRIGHT.
