William Lahy, Sr., son of James Lahy, married Frances (Fanny) Wood in or before 1801. Fanny was born about 1781 and died in January 1826, leaving nine children living at home ranging in age from six to twenty. I didn't find a record of William remarrying, but it was likely he did. William was a tenant farmer in Mullaghboy and Killyfassy, following in his father's footsteps, working on the Farnham estate.
