Biography
Eliza came to the United States from Ireland in 1829. [1] She met her future husband, James Hagan, at the home of James's cousin, Henry McCullough, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [2] They were married on May 6, 1839, at St. Paul Catholic Church in Pittsburgh, [3] and they appear in Columbiana County, Ohio, in the 1840 Census. [4]
Notes
Records relating to Eliza's date of birth are inconsistent. The 1850 census lists her as 35 years old (born about 1815), [5] the 1860 census lists her age as 39 (born about 1821), [6] and the church records, which are probably the most reliable, since they are the most specific, say she died June 18, 1886 at the age of 67, which would mean she was born about 1819. [7]
Although we do not know who her parents were, we suspect she was related in some way to Thomas Donnelly, who was buried in the plot of Henry McCullough, a first cousin of Eliza's husband, James Hagan.
