Mine emigrated to New York State (Albany/Troy area) in the late 1840s. In one census, they stated they had 16 children but I have only been able to locate 7, some may have stayed in Ireland or located in other areas of New York State. Before NY, I believe they were relocated to County Mayo during the Cromwell era but originally were from County Monaghan. > I see that in Tydavnet Old Graveyard in plot number 4 there appears > the name McEntee in the year 1794.
