- There are several un-answered questions regarding this family.
Most records list as Daniel Mehan, in at least 1 spanish record
was noted as Donaciano Mehan. Other Surnames listed under
are Mahan, Meehan, and likely others.
Some U.S. Census lists that he was born in England, others list
Ireland. Parents listed as born in Ireland.
Immigrated to America from Limerick, Ireland in 1850 on the ship
"Energy". He was noted on passenger records as Danl Mahan,
age 22, and arrived in New York, New York on 16 December
1850.
In 1870, he was listed in the Huerfano, Colorado Territory federal
census, and living with Daniel was Teodocia Garcia. There are
2 children listed in the household, Mariana Garcia (age 5) and Jesus
Garcia (age 1). In most cases this leans toward this couple not yet
being married.
In 1880, he was listed in the Canyon City, Fremont County, Colorado
Federal census, listed as Daniel Mehan, age 52, born England, parents
born in Ireland. Also listed:
wife Teodosia Mehan, age 35, born New Mexico Territory, parents
born old Mexico.
Children:
Joseph Mehan, age 12, born Costilla County, Colorado
David Mehan, age 6, born Canyon City, Fremont County, Colorado
George Mehan, age 3, born Canyon City, Fremont County, Colorado
Rosita Mehan, age 1, Huerfano County, Colorado
Note: Joseph (listed as born 1868) was not listed in the 1870 federal
census, but should have been. Either he was born after the 1870 federal
census was taken, or he was listed under another name. Jesus Garcia
was the only male living in the household in 1870, age 1. Was this
Joseph Jesus (Mehan) Garcia?
