I am seeking information from anyone knowing of a Butler farming family from Kilmanagh, Killaloe in the early 1800s.  Son William became a priest and eventually a noted scholar at St. Kieran's College.  He was assigned to Thomastown as a parish priest in about 1847 where he died in 1848.  We believe he is the uncle of my great-great grandfather Michael Butler of Bennettsbridge (or possibly Thomastown) who emigrated on his uncle's gift of money to the US in 1848.  Would like to find out more about William's background.
