The cottage was sublet from James Richards who had a lease from the Shirley Estate. It is likely that this James Richards was a relative of Francis' father's wife, Sarah Richards. Shirley Estate rental records and Tithe Applotment records show that James Richards had leased land in Aughanalart (sic) township from the 1820s through 1840. Frank McCabe subleased from James Richards in 1840, so it is probable that the newly wedded couple Frank and Margaret had moved into a vacant cottage next door to James. In the 1858 Griffith's Evaluation census of Magheracloone there are three Francis McCabe's listed. One in Tonaneve, one in Lavigilduff and one in Doagh, subletting from Thomas Martin. According to tombstone records from the church in Magheracloone, Francis of Lavigilduff died in Magheracloone in 1863. The Francis McCabe of Tonaneve was still on his land in 1865 according to the lease book. The entire Frank McCabe family immigrated to Canada in 1861. So it is likely that Frank McCabe and Margaret Martin were the family living in Doagh next to her kinsman, Thomas Martin, in 1858. Doagh, Corlea and Aughnalart (sic) - all townlands where records show that the Frank McCabe family had lived, are adjacent townlands in Magheracloone. 1840 Map where Richards family lived in Magheracloone (Shirley Estate Bog Map)
Birth of a son #1	Michael McCABE August 17, 1841 (Age 26 years) Magheracloone, Monaghan, Ireland Note: Michael's death certificate states his birth date was Aug 17, 1842, but the informant probably had t… Michael's death certificate states his birth date was Aug 17, 1842, but the informant probably had the wrong year. Michael himself, in the 1900 census, stated he was born in 1841. The following letter from noted Monaghan researcher Theo McMahon has an entry for a Michael McCabe's baptism in Magheracloone (Aug 17) that supports our claim that Michael was from Magheracloone. Dear Mr McCabe .... The Magheracloone registers of baptism commence, as you will be aware, in 1836. They are entered in English but and at times are quite difficult to read. I did index the baptisms up to 1850. These were all reasonably legible. I only found a few entries that linked to a Francis McCabe as follows: Baptised 14 April 1847 Patt McCabe son of Frank McCabe and Margaret McCabe of Magheracloone. The sponsors were Thomas Martin & Betty McCabe. Baptised 25 January 1851 Francis McCabe son of Francis McCabe and Margaret Martin of Corlea. The sponsors were James Ward and Mary Martin. Baptised 23 June 1856 John McCabe son of Francis McCabe and Margaret Martin, of Doagh. The sponsors were Michael McCran & Francis Lamb. No other children are listed to the union but one entry may be incorrectly entered and reads as follows: Baptised 17 August 1841 Michael McCabe son of Frank McCabe and Nelly(sic) McCabe of Magheracloone. The sponsors were Tom McGarvy and Biddy McCabe. (My note: This absolutely establishes the birthplace of Michael in Magheracloone since his death certificate in ND also has his birthday as 17 Aug . Second Note: Reading the parish records in the NLI, it is clear that the mother's name is NOT Nelly. It certainly could be Peggy but it is difficult to read. ) .......The Magheracloone headstones were never recorded or published. Yours sincerely Theo McMahon
Birth of a son #2	Thomas McCABE about 1845 (Age 30 years) (Probably) Monaghan Ireland Note: The 1901 census in Ops, Victoria Co Ont says that Thomas was born in Dec 1842. That is earlier than other records indicate.

Birth of a son #4	Francis Thomas McCABE January 1851 (Age 36 years) Corlea Township, Magheracloone Parish, Monaghan Ireland Note: The date of Francis' birthday is questionable. The only possible entry in the Magheracloone Parish … The date of Francis' birthday is questionable. The only possible entry in the Magheracloone Parish records gives his baptism date as Jan 25, 1851. But his age on the immigrant ship records, marriage records, census records all point to 1853-54. However, his death record in Eddy ND says he was born in 1847. It is possible that, there were two sons named Francis - the first one having died in infancy. It was common to repeat the choice of a child's name, especially if it was a namesake. From the Magheracloone Parish Records: Jan 25, 1851. Francis McCabe of Corlea, son of Francis McCabe and Margaret Martin. Sponsors were James Ward and Mary Martin. Baptism Record For Francis McCabe, May 1851 Magheracloone
Birth of a son #5	John McCABE June 23, 1856 (Age 41 years) Magheracloone, Monaghan Note: Entry from the parish records of Magheracloone Monaghan: June 23, 1856. Joannes McCABE, Doagh.

Death of a son	John McCABE 1861 (Age 46 years) Monaghan Note: John was not with the family when they came to Canada in 1861, which probably means he had died before then.

Marriage	Document D/3531/M/5/1 from the PRONI shows that in April 1840, evident newlyweds Frank McCabe and his wife, with no children, lived in a cottier's cottage in the townland of Agnalaert located in Magheracloone. The cottage was sublet from James Richards who had a lease from the Shirley Estate. It is likely that this James Richards was a relative of Francis' father's wife, Sarah Richards. Shirley Estate rental records and Tithe Applotment records show that James Richards had leased land in Aughanalart (sic) township from the 1820s through 1840. Frank McCabe subleased from James Richards in 1840, so it is probable that the newly wedded couple Frank and Margaret had moved into a vacant cottage next door to James. In the 1858 Griffith's Evaluation census of Magheracloone there are three Francis McCabe's listed. One in Tonaneve, one in Lavigilduff and one in Doagh, subletting from Thomas Martin. According to tombstone records from the church in Magheracloone, Francis of Lavigilduff died in Magheracloone in 1863. The Francis McCabe of Tonaneve was still on his land in 1865 according to the lease book. The entire Frank McCabe family immigrated to Canada in 1861. So it is likely that Frank McCabe and Margaret Martin were the family living in Doagh next to her kinsman, Thomas Martin, in 1858. Doagh, Corlea and Aughnalart (sic) - all townlands where records show that the Frank McCabe family had lived, are adjacent townlands in Magheracloone.
Death	Margaret is known to be alive in 1885 because her name appears in the 1885 census of Eddy County ND. Frank McCABE's application for homestead patent in 1887 states that his wife (Margaret) was dead. Other details indicate, but are not conclusive, that she was dead for at least 18 months before the application.
Media object	Francis, Margaret and 3 sons arrived in NYC on May 23, 1861 on the ship John Bright from Liverpool. Note that there is a son named Patrick who was unknown to us previous to this record.
Note	Margaret's parents have not been deternined but it is probable that Margaret's father was Thomas Martin of Doagh in Magheracloone. The Griffiths Evaluation for Maghercloone indicates that Frank McCabe was subleasing from Thomas Martin on the Shirley Estate. This census was taken just a couple of years before Frank and Margaret moved to Canada. In Dublin at the Valuation Office it is possible to trace the ownership and lease records of a piece of property after 1855. Research there shows that Thomas Martin's successors to his 21 acre lease on the townland of Doagh were: Patrick Martin (circa 1866), Catherine Martin (a widow, before 1900), Peter Martin (her son) before 1912, continuing at least until 1932.
