Helen and Bertha
Driscoll, were born in Cohoes, NY. They
were two of 14 brothers and sisters.
Their father, John, was born in Ireland. He was the son of Simon and
Mary Driscoll. Born in New York, their mother, Mary McTighe, was the daughter
of Thomas McTighe and Mary Golden.
By 1900, only eight of
the 14 children were living. Most family members spent some time working in
textile mills. Two of the boys, James and Patrick, were in the United States
Army in the very early 1900s, but cannot be found after that time. Helen and
Bertha moved to New York City in the 1920s. Helen married Charles Staubach and
Bertha married Michael Caccovo.
