I too am searching for Brennan roots from County Kerry. My Brennan’s eventually settled in Canada having emigrated around 1853. Their story is here https://moynahangenealogy.blogspot.com/2018/04/finding-our-brennan-ancestors-in-kerry.html
Given birth was Sept 18, 1832 and died Feb 11, 1905. My only clue was his obituary said he was from Kerry County.
He came to America about 1848 or so as he was married to Mary Harty (daughter of John Harty and Nellie Ryan) in 1853 in Tennessee. He eventually came to Iowa and lived there until his death. The story we were told was he came to America with a couple of brothers (not necessarily at the same time) but they were separated by the Civil War and never heard from again. I do not know his parents nor siblings names.
He had six children, their names: Jeremiah, John, Mary Elizabeth, Anna J, Katherine Elizabeth and Michael William. Research shows that the Brennan's of Kerry came from around the Sneem area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
