Hi Cara - Thank you so much for getting back to me. Yes, they did inter-marry. What I have is as follows: 1) Michael FEENEY b. ca 1820 perhaps Sligo m. before 1856 Mary TUCKER b. ca 1830. Their son Edward FEENEY was b. ca 1857. He may have been b. in Jordan, Onondaga Co., NY but I have no proof of that and haven't been able to get any so there is a chance he was b. in Ireland. 2) Michael HENNESSEY b. ca 1815 perhaps Tipperary m. ca 1835 Catherine RYAN b.ca 1820. 3) Thomas F. MCLAUGHLIN b. ca 1832 son of Edward and Sarah (GALLIGAN) MCLAUGHLIN. 4) Mary Ellen CONROY b. 21 Mar 1836 daughter of Michael (b. ca 1815) and Ellen (ROACH) CONROY (b. ca 1810). Michael and Mary Ellen arrived in US on the ship New York on 2 Sep 1850 from Liverpool. All of the above settled in upper NY state - Rochester and Batavia. Thank you in advance for any help.
