Terry, I apologize for the delay in my response. I wish I knew if there was a connection between my family and the Murrihy-Hallisy families that you posted! My ancestor would be about the same age (born abt. 1828) as the children that you posted, so maybe he is a child of a brother of the Hallisy women that you have. I will keep your information and let you know if I find more information. Thanks for your message. Kathleen
