| Name |
Richard Reddigan |
 Born |
Abt 1800 |
Co. Kilkenny, Ireland  [1] |
- We don't know how old Richard Reddigan was when he died in 1872, however we do know that he was born in Ireland. His son, Richard Jr. stated in the 1900 US Census that his father was born in Ireland. On Richard Jr.'s death certificate from Bristol, Connecticut, it is also recorded that his father, was born in Ireland. Mary Readigan, a cousin, who married John Mullaly at Aquaforte in 1825, was recorded as being from Co. Kilkenny, so chances are that Richard Reddigan was also born in the same Irish county.

Redigan, Richard Castor 1837056
In the mid to late 1830s, it appears that Richard Reddigan spent some time as the captain of a small schooner called the Castor. Based on information extracted from the Maritime History Archives, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Richard Redigan was the captain of the Castor, a 41 ton two masted schooner built at Chapple (sic) Arm, Trinity Bay in 1835. The original owners were listed as Thomas Brooking, George Richard Robinson, and John Bingley Garland, merchants of Newfoundland and Great Britan. Two years later, the Castor was sold to Samuel Blackler, a trader/dealer of Tors Cove. Richard Redigan was still captain, but there are no indications as to how long he stayed on in that position. Records indicate that the Castor was lost at sea in 1869, but no further details have been found to date.
