William Cahill, progenitor

William Cahill is the progenitor of this branch of the Cahill family in America. He was born about 1710 near Dublin, Ireland. It's believed that he and a brother, of "Scotch-Irish descent", traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and relocated in America via Jamaica from Ireland. He first appeared in Maryland, and seems to have lived there the rest of his life. He was Catholic. He owned property in Montgomery County, Maryland. But other than this little of him and his wife is known. Only a few of his descendants remained in Maryland, most likely only his daughters. While the rest of his family traveled West in the late 1700's to Ohio, either through Virginia or Pennsylvania, having children of their own along the way. He married Ellen O'Connor, parents unknown, about 1735 in Maryland. They had at least six children: Phillip Cahill, unnamed Cahill (born in 1737), Richard Cahill, Mary Cahill, Dennis Cahill, and William Cahill.
