Hugh O'Neill &

Catherine Hillgrove

 

  Hugh O'Neill and Catherine nee Hillgrove O’Neill, were found living in New York City on census from 1850-1880. 

 Both were born in Ireland, arriving in New York, July 7, 1846, on the Sir C. Campbell (passenger record for Hugh) (passenger record for Catherine)having traveled in steerage, probably escaping the Irish famine.

 Hugh was a tailor in New York; which accounted for the reason Kate and her two daughters were such good seamstresses and Annie making a living at dressmaking.
