Well this could be my Hennessy's or not? Can you find out where he immigrated to? Is Patrick related to John Hennessy and Michael Hennessey (spelled with an "ey"?

Hi Kathy,
Patrick Hennessy immigrated to Boston, Massachusetts in 1839. He then went to Providence, Rhode Island along with his five other brothers (James, Bartholomew, John - and possibly Michael and William as well as his father, James (1787-1862). In 1859, Patrick left Providence, RI for Washington County, Arkansas. He became a highly successful farmer of the Civil War and Reconstruction Era.
His descendants live in the Southern US. He was my third great granduncle. His brother, John (1820-1902) was my third great grandfather.
What do you think is your connection to Patrick, or the Hennessy family for that matter?
Curiously, I have found that the spelling ("ey" vs "y" is irrelevant) My grandmother had two uncles who argued over this! One spelled it Hennessy, the other, Hennessey...
