Margaret Lenan
F, b. 22 January 1839, d. 24 January 1929
- Name Variation: At least one source calles her Margaret Agnes MacLennan.1
- Name Variation: Margaret Lenan was also known as Margaret Lennan, and by other spelling variations of her maiden surname.
- Birth*: Sources agree that Margaret was born on 22 January 1839, but disagree on where in Ireland she was born. Some report at Londonderry, Ireland,, others report Co. Cork.2,1
- Immigration: She immigrated in 1857.3
- Immigration: "Mgt. Coyle, age 12" is found on the passenger list for the Ship Calhoun, arriving in New York on on 3 January 1857. This matches the year of arrival Margaret herself reported in the 1900 census. If this is the correct person, she may have in fact given her age as 12 in order to travel as a minor child, the age shown could be a transcription error, or the age could have been reported incorrectly by the original compiler of the passenger list. Margaret (Lennan) Coyle Simmons is reported to have been a tiny woman who might well have passed for a young teen at nearly age 18; Ship Calhoun arrives.4
- Marriage*:
According to descendants, Margaret Lenan married Mathew Coyle circa 1859 at Staten Island, New York City, Richmond Co., New York, United States of America. On the other hand, the passenger list cited above lists Mgt. Coyle, not Margaret Lennan. If this is the correct Margaret Coyle, then Margaret and Mathew were married in Ireland, not in America.2
- Married Name: Her married name was Margaret (Lennan) Coyle.5
- Census*: Although they would be expected to be found living on Staten Island, Richmond County, New York, Mathew and Margaret Coyle have not been located in the 1860 U.S. census.
- Residence*: By August 1863 Margaret and Mathew were living on Moccasin Creek in Tuolumne County, for their son Walter was born there on August 15. The family reports that Matthew left "on the last wagon train leaving New York for California", probably just before the outbreak of the American Civil War. The first shots were fired at Ft. Sumter in April 1861. By this time, Margaret was entering the second trimester of her second pregnancy. She chose to remain in New York, and would travel to California with her infant daughter by ship, possibly in the spring of 1862. Three other children -- Charles, Thomas and Kitty -- would all be born to the Coyles at Moccasin Creek.6,2
- Marriage*:
Left a widow with four small children in January, 1867, Margaret apparently took a position as housekeeper to Robert Simmons who lived in Deer Flat. They were married on 7 May 1869 at California, United States of America.5,7,8
- Married Name: She now was known as Margaret Simmons.5
- Census: Margaret Lenan and Robert Simmons appeared on the census of 18 August 1870 at Big Oak Flat, Tuolumne Co., California, United States of America. Margaret is listed as "housekeeper", even though the couple had been married the previous year.9
- Census*: By 1880, she was enumerated as his wife.10
- Census*: In on 15 June 1900 Margaret, again widowed, was living with her son, Robert Simmons, at Deer Flat.11
- Living*: Later that year she would move into Groveland, into what we now know as the Margaret Simmons House. The house first appeared on the Tuolumne County tax rolls in 1900, and was built for Margaret by her sons Walter and Thomas Coyle. Owner of the house is listed as Robert Simmons, so it is likely that he financed its construction.
- Death*:
Margaret died on 24 January 1929 at at home, Groveland, Tuolumne Co., California, United States of America, at age 90 Her obituary reads:
Pioneer Woman Passes Away
Like the shock of ripened grain when it reaches maturity is gathered into the harvest storehouse, Mrs. Margaret Simmons, an honored pioneer of Tuolmne county, who had lived in the Groveland District for 70 years of continuous residence, passed away Thursday at the ripe age of 90 years and 2 days. Death was the culmination of 4 months of lingering illness.
The deceased was a native of Ireland, but came to this country when a young girl with her parents. She was married twice, her first husband's name being Coyle and her second Simmons. She had children by both marriages, and although left a widow many years ago, she raised to maturity 4 children, 2 sons and 2 daughters: Thos. F. Coyle of Fresno, Robert T. Simmons, the honored chairman of the Board of Supervisors from Groveland Mrs Elizabeth Shafer of San Francisco, and Mrs. Katherine A. James of Modesto.
"Grandma Simmons" as she was familiarly known by her neighbors and intimate friends, was noted for her kind disposition and her liberal hospitality. She often boarded the school teachers of the Groveland School, and always treated them with uniform courtesy. These amiable traits were intensified in all of her dealings with the members of her own family, and all of her children loved their mother. A big-hearted and beloved woman has passed away.
The funeral will be held this Saturday morning at 10 o'clock under the direction of Undertaker O"Beirne, wih high mass at the Big Oak Flat atholic Church, conducted by Rev. Father James Gilmartin, with the interment in the Catholic Cemetery.

- Burial*: She was buried on 26 January 1929 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Cemetery, Big Oak Flat, Tuolumne Co., California, United States of America.14

Mathew Coyle
M, b. between 1835 and 1836, d. 27 January 1867
Pop-up Pedigree
- Name Variation: Mathew Coyle was also known as Matthew Coyle.1
- Birth*: He was born in between 1835 and 1836 at at County Westmeath, Ireland.2
- Note*: Queries regarding the Coyle family are on file at Tuolumne County Genealogical Society: July 1983 - Beulah Koontz, 1841 Glen Haven Avenue, Walnut Creek CA 94595 (re. Nellie Coyle); and July 1991 - Helen Blewitt Argall, 507 Pine Crest, Crockett TX 75835 (Mathew).
- Marriage*:
According to descendants, Mathew Coyle married Margaret Lenan circa 1859 at Staten Island, New York City, Richmond Co., New York, United States of America. On the other hand, the passenger list cited above lists Mgt. Coyle, not Margaret Lennan. If this is the correct Margaret Coyle, then Margaret and Mathew were married in Ireland, not in America.3
- Census*: Although they would be expected to be found living on Staten Island, Richmond County, New York, Mathew and Margaret Coyle have not been located in the 1860 U.S. census.
- Residence*: By August 1863 Margaret and Mathew were living on Moccasin Creek in Tuolumne County, for their son Walter was born there on August 15. The family reports that Matthew left "on the last wagon train leaving New York for California", probably just before the outbreak of the American Civil War. The first shots were fired at Ft. Sumter in April 1861. By this time, Margaret was entering the second trimester of her second pregnancy. She chose to remain in New York, and would travel to California with her infant daughter by ship, possibly in the spring of 1862. Three other children -- Charles, Thomas and Kitty -- would all be born to the Coyles at Moccasin Creek.4,3
- Land Transfer*:
Book I, Volume 8 of Tuolumne County's preemtion claims records Mathew's purchase of land.
Matthew (sic) Coyle Possessory Claim...being duly sworn deposes and says he has taken up for agricultural and grazing purposes and laid possessory claim to the following described piece of public land on Moccasin Creek in said county -- [detailed description of points consisting of pine trees and rocks] 880 yards x 880 yards on left side of creek adjacent to B. Murry's ranch, and consisting of less than 160 acres. The deponent says he holds no other claim, and said land is not claimed under any existing title. Sworn and subscribed before me, M. McGehee, Justice of the Peace 13 March 1865. (this claim was recorded in 10 April 1865).
Other entries made on the same date show that this parcel abutted John Hughes' claim on the northwest, and Bernard Murray's ranch on the south. Since it is known that the Hughes family ranch house was located near the present (2004) junction of Hwy 49 and Hwy 120 and above the present State of California Fish Hatchery, it is likely that the Coyle claim was located in the general area of the Moccasin Creek Fish Hatchery and the City of San Francisco's Moccasin Reservoir.5
- Land Transfer: Mathew Coyle was one of several grantors on the sale of a mining claim on the Tuolumne River near Stevens Bar to George F. Culbertson of Moccasin Creek. On 3 June 1865 at Tuolumne Co., California, United States of America.6
- Naturalization*:
On 27 August 1866Mathew Coyle was naturalized at 5th District Court, Sonora, Tuolumne Co., California, United States of America, in the 5th District Court; First papers could have been filed in San Francisco.7
- Voter Registration: He registered to vote on the same date.8
- Death*: Mathew Coyle died on 27 January 1867 at Moccasin Creek, Tuolumne Co., California, United States of America. The family reports that he died of "miner's consumption", possibly tuberculosis. High levels of asbestos-bearing serpentine rock in the area where Mathew Coyle mined may have contributed to this kind of condition.9,10,11
- Burial*: Mathew Coyle's tombstone at St. Anne's Cemetery, Columbia CA, signed by his brother Hugh Coyle, gives a death date of January 1865 and shows he was a "native of West Meuth Co., Ireland. Based on other documents dated 1865-1866 declaring Mathew Coyle's presence, it apears that the January, 1867 death date reported by several family members is the correct one.10
