I assume they visited our family in the area, then moved on. Other than that, I have found all the Sheehans iof our family who are in the records. You don't seem to connect with us in any way. There are Sheehans in the Troy, NY area. Sheehan is a common name in Ireland, especially in County Cork. An Irish researcher told me that in County Cork, Sheehans "stick to your feet when walking." Good luck in your search.
