I have a family history paper made up by a distant cousin and it has an interesting note that might be of help to you.
"A cousin of Daniel Francis Donovan (1st) called O'Donovan Rosso was at the time a political exile from Ireland.
Family at one time owned a building in Dublin, Irelans that was sold for taxes and subsequently used for the Dublin Library."
Please let me know if this connects or makes any sense to you.
Other notes in this paper states that, we think the Donovan brothers & sisters originally came from Ireland as Patsy (Patrick did return to Ireland. Brother Daniel Francis Donovan (1st) was born in Wales while his parents were there on visit from Ireland. Sister Edith married a blacksmith named Rice and lived in Oswego NY. Carolina Donovan married Jack Turner and an un-named sister married a Mr Gordon.
My family tradition has the parents of these children ad Patrick & Catherine Donovan, possibly cousins as they were both supposed to have been Donovan.
