Hendy's from Tipperary
I am looking for information regarding the Hendy family from Clonakenny Tipperary. My great-great-great garndfather Patrick Hendy married Eliza Magee in Ireland and came to America in 1847. James Hendy, my great-great grandfather lived in New Richmond Ohio from about 1847 to 1857 when he came to Alton Illinois. I would be interested in learning more about the family in Ireland or Ohio. It looks like in the 1850 census, the family became known as Handy.
