    3. Templetogher Townland: Moneen Here's a synopsis of what we know. Michael, John and Mary (and perhaps Patrick) Kenny were born between 1857 and 1868 to John Kenny and Bridget Kelly. Michael was baptized in Glenamaddy in Nov. 1857. The siblings emigrated to Brooklyn, NY. Mary emigrated first, about 1879. Mary married a John Sheridan and they settled in Hartford, CT. John followed about 1884. Michael first went to England to work (about 1883) and met his future wife there. They were married in Salford, Lancashire in 1886 and then went to America. John married the the sister of Michael's wife in Brooklyn in 1899. He was naturalized in 1889 and his witness was a Patrick Kenny. John and his wife died in the first decade of the 20th century and left three orphaned children. Two of the children were raised by Michael Kenny and one by Mary Sheridan. It is possible that Michael's mother-in-law may have also been from Templetogher. Her maiden name was Connaughton and there were many Connaughtons in that parish. Her family migrated to Wrexham, Wales sometime in the mid-1800s and she married a John Jackson who lived in Holt, Denbigh, Wales. John and his family then moved to Salford, Lancashire. Jackie Reiss
