Shared note

Thomas McCarnan [McKernan] is listed in the 1850 census for New Diggings, Lafayette, WI, as the son of Patrick and Ann, his age is shown as 1/12. Church records for St. Augustine Parish, New Diggings, indicate that he was born on August 3, 1850 and baptized on August 4, 1850; his Godparents were Felix McKernan and Catherine Connolly. He seems to be present at the time of the 1855 Wisconsin census, which shows the household consisted of 3 males and 2 females: likely Patrick McKernan, sons Thomas and Patrick ("Packy"), Ann Donahoe McKernan and daughter, Catherine. No record of the fmily has been found in the 1860 census. However, on February 10, 1871 another son was born to Thomas and Ann Mckernan, and he was given the name Thomas Henry McKernan. It was not unuaual that when a child died in infancy the parents would give the same name to a child born in later years; it's likely that this "Thomas" passed away some time between the 1855 census and the birth of "Thomas Henry" in 1871.
