So, great-grandfather James McCallion marries Mary Hagney in 1874. Her name gets munged into Hegarty on later birth records for her children. On their marriage cert it lists her father as Daniel Hagney.
ancestry.com shows we have relations (via dna) with families like the Robbins (from NJ) and Sackvilles (from PA). While I haven't heard back yet from the few I've written to, the common link in the trees seems to be Sarah Hagney:
... no McCallions or McBrides or Meehans in the mix of common family trees (and this match is all on the maternal side).
This is more info on Sarah Hagney Sackville, obit 1939:
So Sarah was from Ireland. Her parents were Daniel Hagney and Eunace Sweeney, both from Ireland.
And we are related. I think this is likely great-grandmother Mary Hagney's sister.
