Lizzie & Nessie Kaighin's Letters

The letters of Lizzie and Nessie Kaighin to their

brother John Kaighin in Missouri and New Mexico, USA

In 1998 I received from the late Noreen Cottier of the Isle of Man Family History Society copies of 11 letters written between 1908 and 1925 by sisters Lizzie and Nessy Kaighin to their brother John who emigrated to Yukon, Missouri. They are families 1520 and 1860 in my database. John married Emma Beddow in England in 1878 and had three children, Annie Madeline, Richard Charles and John Beddow. John Beddow Kaighin married Annie Castleman and they had eight children (family 1970 in my database). Many Kaighins now living in Texas County, Missouri, and the Longview, Washington area are descendants. Everything I have on the lineage of this family can be found here:
