>From Kilmacthomas, Co Waterford my Dennis Sullivan and wife Catherine Flynn entered the U.S. at New Orleans in 1847, traveled to Galena,Illinois/Benton, Lafayette Co, Wisconsin, then on to Hillsborough, WI. where they farmed trough 1930. Could a branch associated with my family, the Sullivan/Flynn, Sheas, have gone to Kentucky? Possible, but there are many with like Irish names. It is also interesting that Many Irish entered U,S. trough New Orleans, and Texas, about 1847.

Also have land transactions between Shea's and Flynn's. Sure seems like these two sets of families could well be related.
