His older brothers, James McGough and John McGough had emigrated in the late 1850's and were living between Chemung and Onondaga Counties in upstate New York. Patrick opened up a grocery, saloon, and hotel at 763 Market Street in Elmira, and first appeared in the Elmira City Directory in 1885 as a laborer living at that same address.

He married Margaret Halloran in 1882 at St. Patricks Church, Elmira, New York.

He intended to make a four month visit to England and Ireland and depart from the port of New york aboard the Coama (built in 1891by A. Stephens & Sons, Glasgow), scrapped in 1925) on June 30, 1923.

Patrick's daughter, Mary Catherine married John F. Goode of Boston, Massachusetts.

John James worked in several different occupations including as a mill operator at a knitting mill; bartender in his father's saloon; and then moved to Hartford, Connecticut for work in the early 1920's. He eventually moved back to New York and settled in Montour Falls, NY.

*The manifest of the Teutonic says it arrived on May 5, 1904. James McGough is listed as age 23, a laborer, whose last residence was Dundalk, Ireland, who had paid for his own passage, and whose final destination was Chumleigh, Elmira, New York. where he was going to join his uncle, Pat McGough, at 377 Railroad Avenue. He is the James McGough listed in the 1910 census of Binghamton (ward 5), Broome county, New York, age 27, born in New York (?) to parents born in New York (?), a baggerman (?) for a railway, who had been married 1 year to Anna (Ryan) McGough, age 26, mother of no children, who had been born in New York to parents born in New York (T-624, roll 925, page 7A, line 17).

(T-625, roll 1086, page 10A, line 20). James' wife was probably Anna Ryan, daughter of William Ryan and Anna Tabin. "Anna Ryan (b. 1883, d. 14 Mar 1962) — Anna Ryan (daughter of William Ryan and Anna Tabin) was born 1883 in Salbank*, Ireland, and died 14 Mar 1962 in Binghamton, NY. She married James McGough on 07 Sep 1909 in Binghamton, NY, son of Peter McGough and Anna Meckney" (from In search of Patrick Croghan in Ireland on Genealogy.com).

*The name of a townland in Ireland that is closest to Salbank is Castlebank in county Clare, St. Patrick's parish, barony of Bunratty Lower, poor law union of Limerick, and province of Munster.

[The 1920 census of Binghamton, Broome county, New York, showed that Owen McGough and his family were living in the same house as his brother, James McGough. Owen McGough was the head of his own family who was paying rent to James, age 29, born in Ireland, who immigrated in 1916, who was working as a splitter in a shoe factory; Owen's wife, Catherine McGough, age 25, born in Ireland, who had also emigrated in 1912; a daughter, Mary, age 5, born in New York, and a son, Andrew, age 3, born in New York.

Also in the household was a cousin, Dennis Clarey, age 30, born in Northern Ireland, who had immigrated in 1924, and who was employed as a checker on a steam railroad (roll 1407, page: 5A, line 16).

†"Michael McGough was the oldest son born of Peter and Anna McGeough in Knockreagh Lower, County Monaghan. As a child, he attended schol in Cullaville and worked on the farm with his parents and younger brothers. Michael and his brother Patrick J. emigrated to America around 1900. They lived with Dennis and Katherine Sullivan at 913 Market Street in Elmira, just a few doors down from their uncle, Patrick W. McGough." (From Michelle McGoff-McCann's now inactive website, www.IrishMcGoff.com, which can be accessed on the Wayback Machine.)

Michael and Patrick McGough arrived in New York City together on March 22, 1900, aboard the Teutonic from Liverpool. The ship's manifest lists Michael as age 24, and Patrick as age 23, both as laborers whose last residence was Crossmaglen, with the common destination of "Uncle Pat McGough, Market St., Almira (sic)." Almira is correctly spelled Elmira in another place on the manifest. Michael and John had each paid their own fare. "Michael married Josephine 'Johanna'" Dillon at St. Patricks Church, Elmira, New York on January 12, 1904." www.IrishMcGoff.com. The 1910 census of Elmira lists Michael McGough, age 39, born in Ireland, a policeman or a steam railroad, who emigrated in 1900, and who owned his home subject to a mortgage; with his wife of 6 years, Johanna, age 38, born in Ireland, who emigrated in 1892, mother of 2 children, both living; with their daughter, Anna, age 4, born in New York, and son, Peter, age 2, born in New York (T-624, roll 931, page 9A, line31).
