The Children of Joseph and Frances
|
This web site will tell the story of the Tague Family and their ancestors here in the US. The source material is based on the many picture albums and documents left behind by my parents, Joseph John and Frances Marie. Many thanks to all who have contributed ...... The children of Joseph and Frances …..Bart, Joseph, John and Kathy. The Children of Charles and Alicia Tague….Patrick, Thomas, Charles, James, Mary Alicia and Beth Ann. A very special thanks to John Tague for providing me the albums, his unique memory for the facts and for his participation in our Genealogical expeditions. John, of course, was my right hand man on this project.

A special thanks to Mary Alicia Haberman for sharing her research with me. A special thanks to Mary Graham, of Sacramento, CA, who I have just met through Ancestry.com as she was building her own tree on the McDonalds. Her sharing on the California side has allowed me to start the Bart McDonald story in the Grandparent Biographies. Mary is the Granddaughter of Mary McDonald, first born of Bart McDonald Sr. A special thanks to Ancestry.com, for without it the many breakthroughs, discoverys, stories and biographys would not exist today in this web site. Ancestry consistently improved over the 3 year course of this project. A special thanks to Weebly.com. Their free application came with great tools allowing me to create while refreshing my HTML skills when I needed to customize certain aspects of this site. .....and lastly the Google Picasa app that also provided great tools in allowing me to enhance old pics and organize them into "online albums".

Peter Tague emigrates to the US, from Ireland, during the Great Potato Famine in 1845 and off we go on the "History of the Tagues". He settles in Port Ewen NY and starts work as a "boatman"on the Delaware and Hudson Canal. He has children, he takes on boarders and he adopts. By the time he moves to Red Hook, Brooklyn in 1886 Peter's wife Ann has passed and he is now working the Brooklyn docks as a tug boat Captain in a 19th century version of "On the Waterfront". Peter dies in 1894 at the age of 73, in Brooklyn. He lived a hard life through three quarters of the nineteenth century. Quite an amazing feat. Peter was taken back to Kingston to be buried at St Mary's Cemetery. Peter was our Great Great Grandfather on our fathers side.

His son John C Tague moves to Manhattan. He does well working as a stationary engineer. John has 9 children living at 710 3rd ave in Manhattan. All seems to go well for John until tragedy strikes in 1914. Johns wife Catherine passes at 50 years of age from breast cancer. John then passes a year and a half later at 63 of a kidney ailment in Bellevue Hospital. Many of Johns 9 children are still very young, Alice 18, Anna 15, Ruth 10, Loretta 8 and Walter 6. Shortly after we see Johns 9 children scatter from 710 3rd ave to other relatives and friends, most notably his son Charles .....our Grandfather, living now at 242 President st in Brooklyn in the year 1920. John C. Tague was our Great Grandfather on our fathers side.
On the other coast we now see Bartholomew McDonald. Bart, born in 1864, emigrates to the US, from Ireland, date unknown (for now:)). We assume that Bart came through Castle Garden in NYC or possibly later at Ellis Island. We know that Bart settled in Whitefield, NH where Mary is his first born. Bart then starts on his cross country journey. Bart moves next to St Paul, Minnesota, where Bart Jr is born. Next stop is Seattle Wash where Frances is born. .....and then Sacramento where Daniel is born. Sadly Barts wife, Margaret, dies in Sacremento of influenza in 1900 at the age of 35 just prior to his last stop in San Francisco. Ten years later Bart remarries. Barts death date is unknown for now. Bartholomew William McDonald was our Great Grandfather on our Mothers side.
