Seeking information On a Terence MONEGHAN. Born in Ireland in 1815. Sometime during 1820-1838 came with his family to the United states. Point of entry New York. Married Ruth Ann WEBB in 1839, Berlin, Wakeman Township, Huron County. Marriage certificate listed surname as MANAHAN. Ruth and Terence had several children. In 1840's surname changed to MONEGHAN. Huron County listed Terence's death as Dec. 1852. No cause or gravesite given. However, the Obituary Record of Wakeman Township, listed the death of a 6 month old son of T. MONEGHAN, and also listed the death of a Torrence MONEGHAN (Irish) on Dec.16, 1852. Could these MONEGHANS be the same person? Both shared the last name and both died in Dec. Am wondering if an o instead of an e could have been mistakenly printed. Was told that his gravesite was 855, then contacted later telling me that this was the gravesite of a woman, but no name was mentioned.

I am wondering how many family names from my small area of Bath, Clinton Co, Michigan are also prevalent, or were, in the Townsend, Milan area of Huron Co, OH. So many that I have seen mentioned are also here, such as MEAD, VAN_VLECK, BARNARD, CUSHMAN, VAN_SCOY, FLEMING, CONKRITE, and others. Many are also showing up in New York and Dutch Colonies lists. I wonder if most of them followed the same migration pattern that my family did. VAN_NOSTRAND's started out in New Jersey, then to town of Italy, Yates Co NY where I find my SIMMONS, THATCHERS, GRIFFINS who may also have been in NJ. Next they are in Huron Co in mid 1850's and some came on to Michigan where they settled in Clinton, Shiawassee, Ingham Counties and spread out from there. All comments welcome, please.
