I've looked around but don't think our families are closely related. My gr-gr-grandparents were Daniel & Bridget (Russell) MEAGHER/MAHER... married in Annacarty Parish in 1813... lived in Drumwood Townland, just north of Rossmore (Clonoulty-Rossmore Parish). Their children were Jo, Johanna, Mary, Judith, James, Bridget, Thomas & Daniel. It was either Johanna or Judith who married Wm. Dwyer & had 7 sons, but only 2 were living by the 1860 U.S. Census.
