My 2x grreat grandfather Patrick Feeherry is said to come from Co Tipperary. He arrived in the United States prior to 1850 with two sisters and a brother. Their names were David, Winifred, and Mary Ann. In the 1850 census they were in Upper Providence Pennsylvania, and had had at least one child born in Penn. I found in the Griffith valuation information on a Arthur Feeherry from this parish. This is an uncommon name and I am wondering what you might know about the Feeherry family?
