I gathered everything I have on Laughlin Deegan, including his 1795 birth in Ireland, his son Jeremiah, his Pottsville residency, etc., and found this ...
However, I'm not certain this is the right Laughlin Deegan - I only know this is what came up after listing all of his pertinent information. Nor do I know what all of the record is referring to other than it has something to do with land and taxes. But if it is the right Laughlin Deegan, then we have another clue that might lead to other clues, especially regarding where he might have been born and came from. The Pottsville, Pa. Laughlin Deegan was born in Ireland in 1795 and would have been 32 years old in 1827.
Just got off the phone with mr. Fritz, 45 minutes worth of history and his personal interests. The l.deegan is about 1865 , and he has the same one. He did say it is very rare about 7 including mine known to exist. Thats nice. He actually said the l. Deegan is a convert from the j.deegan mold. The guy is a unbelievable wealth of info. We are going to exchange some emails and pics, he actually invited me to his home for coffee ( sweet)!!! As soon as i find out more i will let you all no.
ABSOLUTELY MY FRIENDS,,( ABSOLUTELY) that works perfectly sodapop!!! My lord i feel like a little kid that just received the biggest lollypop of his life!!!!!
