Aroostook County Hawksley connection to McAtargart & Madigan families
It seems there may be a connection between the Hawksley families of Mars Hill and Hodgdon to the McAtargart and Madigan families of that area.
McAtargart and Madigan family members resided with Margaret Elizabeth (Hawksley) Adams in the 1860 census.I believe the connection is maternal (perhaps aunts).
As Margaret states her mother as being born in Ireland in the 1880 census (for whatever reason, John Goodwin Hawksley's family is nowhere to be found in that census), and the McAtargart and Madigan families also go back to Ireland, this seems a reasonable conclusion.
Unfortunately, I have found very little on the McAtargart and Madigan families.Perhaps no one is researching them, or there are no living descendants.
This will probably require a trip directly to Hodgdon, Maine to try to learn more about the families and determine the connection.
