William Denis St. Leger and His Columbus, Georgia Legacy

Denis St. Leger (born c. 1833) emigrated from Ireland to the United States, arriving in 1853. Arriving at about the same time was his wife-to-be, Margaret McCarthy (born c. 1834). Devout Catholics from Brooklodge, County Cork, they were married in Boston at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in early April 1853.
