John McCarthy and
Catherine Sullivan
Johanna McCarthy was the
daughter of John McCarthy and Catherine Sullivan, according
to Massachusetts vital records. Johanna's obituary in a
Worcester MA newspaper identified her origin in Ireland as
Bally Trasna parish, Ballyhar, County Kerry.
Another researcher reports that one of Johanna's brothers
was a James McCarthy, three of whose sons also emigrated to
Massachusetts about the same time as Johanna and her
husband, Bartholomew Houlihan, and that they lived for a
while with Johanna and her family.
