Mary Elizabeth Tethers was born in Corinth, Saratoga Cty, NY on 11-14-1886 and died 9-23-72 in Greenfield, Franklin Cty, MA. Her parents were Thomas Tethers and Margaret Flynn Tethers. My research so far has Thomas Tethers born in NY abt 1859-61? to William and Hannah(Anna)Tethers and Margaret Flynn Tethers born in Canada abt 1865 to Robert and Lucy Flynn.
Mary had two brothers, John(1882 NY) and William(1883 NY) and two sisters,Anna (12-12-1888 NY) and Frances (1890 NY) Anna married Harry Ottman (4-9-1885 NY) Their three girls, Margaret, Mary, and Harriet were born in the Canal Zone.
I am not aware,however, of Dan McGahan being in the Canal Zone. He was born in Castleton, Rutland Cty,VT on 1-8-1880 to Charles L McGahan and Julia Morgan McGahan. He was in the Spanish American War in Cuba. The 1900 Military Census lists him at Guanajay Barracks, Cuba and he was discharged in March 1901. Next he marries Mary Tethers in Corinth NY 11-14-1906 and they move to Greenfield MA a short time later with Dan working as a railroad engineer. His earlier life is a bit of a mystery. Do you have information that he was at the Canal Zone? And are you connected to any of the Tethers I've listed?
Thanks
