Dear cousin Matthew,

I collect our McGeehan family documents and I wondered if you knew that our original immigrant (Robert McGeehan) who died in 1851 in Eramosa, Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada) was married to MARGARET, however MOST of the documents that I have collected from his children point to Margaret's maiden name being MORGAN, I believe only one document shows DUGGAN which could have been a mistake as they do sound a bit alike. I have copies if you are interested and also a tree in Ancestry.com.
