I have clear detail for my McCarthy cousins in Blennerville/Tonevane. I have exact birthdates for eight children of Edward McCarthy and Elizabeth Stephens (whose brother Henry Stephens ,my ggg grandfather is well known around Blennerville)) Married 22 JUne 1794 age 29 for Edward and 24 for Elizabeth in Annagh, Kerry. I have exact birth dates for the eight children. Daniel (16 Sept 1795), Florence4July 1798,  John 24 March 1801, jane 12 Feb 1804, Robert 30 June 1806, Robert (again?) 28 March 1810, Edmund 16 Aug 1812, and Edward  20 May 1815. The later births show up min the church records with "Edmund" as the father. I don't know why this is --however I have a letter from Edward in Ireland to his son Daniel in Virginia in 1822 signed Edward . I have a second letter from Florence to his same brother Oct 1822 (shortly before Florence decides to join his brother in Virginia. Florence mentions that he is staying at the current home but that the family is moving to Milltown.  Florence has five sons who will fight together in the Civil War. Quite a bit more on these folks. 

The Benner's   (Henry Benner married Anne Stephens 20 Feb 1798.) are well recorded . Henry Benner was a descendent of the 1500 German immigrants who came to farm Kerry and Limerick in the 1700's. In a recent book , People make Places,  their history is well documented. Miriam O'Brion also did a paper on them.  My GGGG-grandfather Robert Stephens seems to have been connected or involved in all this but I do not know how. 

Henry Benner took most of his children to Ontario Canada in the 1820's.

The Benner hotels , Tralee and Dingle , of course were started by cousins of Henry Benner.

Robert's sons Henry, Samuel, William ,and Robert  where around Blennerville, Garryruth, Ballymullen, Ballyard. etc.

I have seen deed docs with Hurley property (maybe Elizabeth Hurley's name?)

I know of a Benner in Canada, and also a Benner relation in Cork.   A number of McCarthy descendents still live in Virginia.

I hope this detail helps someone.

Dear Millsboro, what an amazing amount of research! Are you aiming to make contact with Mc Carthy cousins? 

Martine

 I am a descendant of Daniel McCarthy and am researching my McCarthy side in Virginia.  I would love any information about the lines of Florence and Daniel.  Specifically, does anyone know if Florence McCarthy (born 1838), son of Florence and Julia Humes, was a chaplain during the Civil War?  Also, is there a way I could see the letters between Edward and Daniel &/or Florence in Daniel? Via email scan perhaps?  Family history, via word of mouth, states that the original McCarthy's in Ireland had 8 sons named Robert, the first 7 died.  Also, some members of the family moved to Australia..not sure who?

Hello

I am replying to Sarah or who ever posted to this message board today.  If you are a McCarthy/Stephens/Benner relative please explain. I can arrange a email to discuss the already posted information at length. There are still MCarthy descendents in Va . 

Millsboro77

I actually am a McCarthy descendant in Virginia via Maria Humes and Daniel McCarthy.  I just started a geneology search for my grandmother and have a good amount of info but would love to find out more. Could you please email me at hopkinscsarah@aol.com? Thank you so much!

Benners of Tralee

My husband's gt grandmother was Maud/Matilda Benner from Tralee. Born 1852 to Henry Benner and Anna Wilson. I have extensive research on the Benner Family.  I also have a copy of Miriam F O'Broin'sresearch "The Benners A Kerry Palatine Family".

We lived in Tralee for a year in 1971 and had our only child christened in the same church as all the Benners. We knew nothing aboout them at that stage!

This McCarthy / Benner information is very interesting.  My Dad is a descendant of Robert McCarthy (c. 1810-1870) who was Harbor Master of Tralee and lived in Blennerville in the Lock Keeper's house.  My Dad also has DNA matches to Benners in Ontario.  I am wondering if Robert could be the son of Edward McCarthy and Elizabeth Stephens?
