The Descendants of Thomas McLaughlin - Part 4

At the bottom of this family tree post, I have indicated Thomas Newman McLaughlin's and James McLaughlin's sister, Mary McLaughlin. She is indicated in the 1840 U.S. Census with her parents Michael and Marcella in Newport, New York but is not found after that. She probably got married. This is where it becomes difficult to find and trace female relatives. Her last name would have changed plus it is only assumed that her first name was Mary. The 1840 U.S. Census only indicated the head of the household's name and then indicated the gender and age range of the others in the household rather than their names. This makes it rather tricky to research full family units in the early census. By 1850, everyone in the household is listed with their full names in the U.S. Census.

This post also includes Libbie Drumm (Elizabeth McLaughlin) and her family line. She remained in the Village of Newport, NY, along with her brothers, Michael and Maurice, where she married and raised her own family. I would bet that there are some of her descendants still around in the local area but have yet to run across any in my research on Ancestry.com. At least, I have not run across any that I know of.

As for the baby of the family, Maurice E. McLaughlin, I have been in contact regularly since this past summer with one of his descendants. He is also a Maxwell. Maurice E. McLaughlin was married to Mary Ellen Maxwell. Maurice's older brother was my great-great grandfather, Thomas Michael McLaughlin. Mary Ellen Maxwell's aunt was my great-great grandmother, Ellen Maxwell. Thomas and Ellen, and Maurice and Mary Ellen, represent the two marriages between the McLaughlin and Maxwell families of Newport, Herkimer County, New York. I love this connection. It has been so interesting to connect with a relative who shares two family lines with me.
