Do you have any records of a JOhn Carney born 1810 in Limerick?
His name was changed to Kearney after he moved to the US
Teermore (Tiermore) is a townland of about 324 acres in the parish of Kilbreedy Major, Co. Limerick.
The earliest (so far :)) mention of the Kearney family living in Teermore comes from the book: Staker Wallace, His Life and Times and Death by Mainchín Seoighe. The book makes reference to a document in the National Archives of Ireland listing the tenants of Teermore on Apr 23 1816.
Edmond Carney is one of the names on that list.
I believe this Edmond is either my great-great-great-great-grandfather or the brother of my great-great-great-grandfather.
All I know is that since 1816 there have always been Kearneys living in Teermore (6 or 7 generations). And that our family has spread to the townlands of Bawnagh, Ballymacshaneboy and Darranstown.

Hi Connie,
I don't have a John Kearney in my tree from that time.
But there was a lot of Kearney families in County Limerick at that time, mainly in Sunville, Ardpatrick, Lough Gur and Kilmallock town.
Do you know when your John moved to the US?
