I have no information about the family of my ancestor Michael, but the following information is what I have about his descendants and his spouse. Any information that could help us understand more about where he comes from or his family of origin would be most welcome and appreciated. Many thanks!
----
Michael Kinnally was born in 1807 in Killea, County Tipperary.
He married Margaret Meagher (Maher/Mayer), also born 1807 in County Tipperary.
Michael and Margaret had several children:
Edward (d. 1851 in Tipperary)
Ellen (1831-1849 d. at sea)
Daniel (1833)
Cornelius (1839-1930)
Nancy (1840)
Timothy (1840)
Margaret (1842)
It is possible they had other children.
They emigrated to the U.S. shortly after the Great Famine, in 1850. On the journey, Ellen died at sea. Their son Tim stayed behind to nurse an ill brother, and he emigrated alone as an 11 or 12 year old to join his family in Camillus NY.
It appears the family were farmers.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
It looks like your family actually came from Kings Co. (now Co. Offaly). The townland shown on the baptismal records I located on the subscription site Roots Ireland was shown as Clonaganna and the official spelling is Clonagannagh in Dunkerrin civil parish in Co. Offaly. The RC parish is Dunkerrin and that parish covers areas in both Tipperary and Co. Offaly. Its is very possible that Michael Kinally came from Killea civil parish in Tipperary but I was not able to find a baptismal record. On Roots Ireland, I was able to locate an 1829 marriage record and six baptismal recorda. The names do not entirely match with your list and the other records may be on Roots Ireland but I will need to search some more. See the records I located below. Let me know what questions you have

Here is a link to the Dunkerrin parish register for the 19th century up to 1873 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0762 I was not able to find any more baptismal records by adjusting my search request. When you have time you may want to scan the register for more records.

Hi, I'm Ellie Hampton and I'm a great-great granddaughter of Timothy Kinnally. From what I hear he did come over when he was 11-12 years old but he did come over with the baby brother who unfortunately died on the way to New York. I don't know if he got to see his father after that though
