Mathew McKenna

Irish Pioneer from County Monaghan

Irish Settlement (1849-1880s)

b. 1830

Mathew McKenna (born December 1830) emigrated from County Monaghan, Ireland. The McKenna surname — Mac Cionaoith, meaning 'Son of Cionaoth' (born of fire) — was first found in County Monaghan. His gravestone at St. John the Baptist Cemetery is a key genealogical document, citing 'County Monaghan' under 'Father' and 'County Wexford' under 'Mother' (his wife Katherine Roach's origin). This single headstone connects two of Hubbardston's primary Irish county origins.
