Clifford, I have the naturalization records of 4 Sheehy brothers who were minors when they came to the US in 1850 - 1852. Their father did not come but their mother did come. They all filed for naturalization at older ages. Daniel's and Bartholomew's papers are both dated on the same day (1862) and they were witnesses for each other. Daniel was 27 and Bartholomew was 25. John's papers are dated 1871 and he was 31. William's papers are dated 1876 and he was 32. I was told at the National Archives that if their father had come and gotten his naturalization, the sons would have automatically gotten theirs when they were minors. As for their mother, Hanora, I was told that she could have become a citizen automatically through marriage but she never remarried and I have no record of her becoming a US citizen. I found all of these records at the National Archives and the people there are very helpful and will give you any help or information that they can.
