His Irish connections can be traced back to his great-great-grandparents, Elizabeth Murphy and Thomas O’Neill from County Cork, son of Isabel and Michael O’Neill. In early 1837 Michael O’Neill and Isabel Sullivan emigrated to Uruguay and their only son Thomas was born the same year in Las Piedras, Canelones. Thomas married Elizabeth and built up a farm in ‘Marincho’, Flores, some 200km north of the capital city, Montevideo. This marriage produced eleven children. Benito, the youngest, married María White Cogley, and was Fabián’s great-grandfather.
