Sorry this will be a bit long, but the following is what I've put together for this family:

Tobias Connell of Mountnicholas, Ballymacelligot, Kerry m. 2/7/1841 Mary Hoffman (b. 4/15/1822, christ. 5/5/1822) daughter of Philip and Catherine Hoffman of Gortagullane, Ballymacelligot, Kerry. They sail on Enoch Train's packet ship the St. Petersburg, from Cobh (Cork) Ireland to Boston, arriving 8/20/1849. They reside in Lowell, Mass. until about 1851, in which year Catherine Connell sails from Liverpool to Boston on the Clara Wheeler, arriving in July with the children Mary, George, Margaret, and William. Also in 1851, Mary puts a notice in the Boston Pilot looking for her brother, John Huffman. Around 1852 they move to Hudson, NH, where they appear in the 1860 and 1870 censuses, and Tobias is on the 1874 Hudson voting list. Tobias dies 6/21/1875 and is buried at Ford Cemetery in Hudson. Mary is living with her son Philip J. Connell in Hudson in the 1880 census; she dies 6/14/1892 and is buried with her husband.

Children:
1) Mary, christ. 12/9/1841, Ballymacelligot, Kerry; d. 11/8/1853, Hudson, NH.
2) George, b. 1/20/1844, Ireland.
3) Margaret, b. about 1847, Ireland; d. 10/9/1853, Hudson, NH.
4) Eliza A, b. about 1850, Massachusetts.
5) Philip J, b. about 1852, New Hampshire; d. 11/25/1920.
6) Robert T, b. 4/17/1855, New Hampshire; d. 7/4/1944.
7) James E, b. about 1856, New Hampshire.
8) Mary, b. 10/1859, New Hampshire.

Possible children:
9) William, b. about 1849/1850 in Ireland, travels with Catherine.
10) Felix, b. about 1853 in NH, living with Tobias & Mary in 1870 but not 1860.
11) Fanny, b. about 1862 in NH, living with Tobias & Mary in 1870.
12) Robert J, b. about 1864 in NH, living with Tobias & Mary in 1870.

I'm uncertain as to who Catherine Connell, William, Felix, Fanny, and Robert J are. I have some information on further generations if anyone wants it.
