John and Anne McCloskey
All we know about John and Anne McCloskey is their names and that they were identified as the parents of Susan (McCloskey) Gough in her death certificate. However, we do not know where in Ireland they lived, nor the names of any of their family members.
We believe that Susan may well have come over from Ireland either alone or possibly with a sibling. She first appears in the 1860 census, where she is enumerated with John Gough and his brother Richard at their residence in Philadelphia.
A James McCloskey was listed in Luzerne County, PA, death records, but we have no idea if he is related to Susan or not. He was born in 1828 in Ireland and died in Exeter on 10 April 1904.
