There are several spellings of Meighan, as you know. My great-grandmother spelled it Mary E. Mehan according to her diploma from Philadelphia Girls Normal School in 1881. I heard stories from my mother of different spellings of Mehan among her maternal relatives. Mary Mehan married a Mr. Mitchell and they had several children.They bought a home at 5529 Morris Street, Germantown, Philadelphia.One daughter, Florence Mitchell, b. 1886, married Joseph J. Shields (an 1899 graduate of University of Pennsylvania).They lived in the home in Germantown until their deaths in 1963.They had two children:John J. Shields and Sara E. Shields (1911 - 1992).Sara married Frank A. McManus, Jr.,(1909-1989)in 1942.They had four children: three girls and a boy.
