I found 2 Roman Catholic Churches near New Mills where the O'Hagan family lived in the 1850s: Coalisland and Stewartstown (Armagh diocese) or Donaghenry and Ballyclog (Coalisland) (Armagh diocese).

This is from An Irish Geneological  Source - A Guide to Church Records published by PRONI (Public Records of Northern Ireland) that also includes dates of records kept.

John J. O'Hagan

I found this link that decribes a newspaper article in Newberry Observer about John J. O'Hagan . I had heard that he drowned at the Georgetown, Lighthouse, but he drowned at Sullivan's Island.

"O’Hagan, John J. who for 30 years was lighthouse keeper for Charleston Harbor fell into the water at Sullivan’s Island and drowned, Observer 10/1/1909, page 1"
