Antrim / Re: MCHENRY - LOUGHCONNELLY, BROUGHSHANE, MUNIE AND GLENARM

Ian,
It looks like I'm hunting for the same sort of connection as you are and much of your post read like my own notes. I'm looking for a John McHenry and a Thomas McHenry mostly. John is my GGG Grandfather and his son was my GG Grandfather Thomas. I am certain that Antrim weighs heavily into the equation for me as I am told that there was a map or something like one hanging in the living room in St. Louis, Missouri. The map was of Antrim and everyone assumes they had it hanging there as this was where they were from. Or their parents. I've got most of the men in my family named Thomas, William or John.
I found some recent documents that indicated that my McHenry family actually lived in England after leaving Ireland and they eventually hopped on a ship to America. I have my GG Grandfather Thomas actually listed as being born at sea and he is the one that has the England connection. I'm also growing increasingly more certain that I need to be looking at the McHendry and McKendry surnames as well. [And other variations.]
I wonder what you might tell me about the McHenry's of yours that moved to England and then, perhaps, to the US. I truly appreciate your time and I hope that everything is well for you on your end.
Solid handshakes,
Jason McHenry
