John Dwyer, my GG grandfather, I believe was born in or around Donaskeigh, Tipperary, but he has ties to Fermoy, before emigrating to Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1830s. John Dwyer had a large family, and there are MANY descendants, lots who have taken DNA tests. Because of many shared matches with other Dwyers, and one record, we have proof that John spent some time in Fermoy. In fact, it seems that he had a first wife, Mary McCarty, with whom he had a daughter, Hanora, born 14 Dec 1828 in Fermoy. The record said she was born in Cowhouse, Fermoy. Would there have been a nickname for such a place near Fermoy, or might have she been born in a stable for cows? There are many Dwyers from Fermoy who emigrated to Lynn, Massachusetts, who my family shares DNA matches with. Roger Dwyer, it now has become clear, is John's brother. Is there any information about 19th century Dwyers from Fermoy? I am thinking that John (and perhaps his father William) may have left Tipperary during the Dundrum Evictions, and landed in Fermoy before many Dwyer relatives emigrated to the U.S. Roger Dwyer, and Hanora Dwyer, arrived during the Great Famine. Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
