The younger Thomas was born in St. John's and returned to Ireland in his 20s to represent his father's business interests, where he prospered. Meagher was Mayor of Waterford in 1843 and 1844, the first Roman Catholic mayor of the city since the penal laws. He was elected at the 1847 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Waterford City. He was re-elected in 1852, and held the seat until he stood down at the 1857 general election. Meagher and his wife (Alicia Quan Meagher) had five children, only two of whom survived childhood. One of these, Thomas Francis Meagher (1823\u20131867), would garner renown as a leader of the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848. The death sentence for his role in the rebellion was commuted to transportation to Australia. He escaped and went to United States, where he rose to the rank of brigadier general in the U.S. Army during the American Civil War, and later became acting governor of the Montana Territory."@en . . .
