What goes around often returns. Names are the same. Parish records show Patrick gggf had brothers, John, Patrick, (?),& William. Patrick occupied a tenent farm called Laughane outside Cloughjordan, County Tipp.
in the Parish of Modreeny. William inherited the farm. John was sent to Australia compliments of the Brits for beating severly a cousin named Gleeson. A Kennedy (who else)was a witness to the so called beating. After John was transported the witness recanted his testamony, but John couldn't scrape the fare to return. William at 20 years of age took over the farm and ran it until the death of his father. William also took a wife Mary Costello, had 12 children.
Michael took over the farm some time down the line and when his father died ran it until his son WIlliam took the farm into the 1960's.
Been to the farm 1999 it is still working
