BIOGRAPHY: Apparently, Patrick McEvoy was a fenian who had to flee to America in fear for his life. To date, there is no factual evidence. Source: Deirdre Ryan (nee Doherty), Margaret Doherty and Donny Doherty.
BIOGRAPHY: What is factually known is that Patrick McEvoy and Margaret Coonan arrived in New York in 1867 and returned home to Ireland circa 1877. They lived in New York for approximately ten years. In 1901, they were living in Camac Terrace. The intervening 20+ years in Ireland are not yet known. It is quite possible that they lived in Chapelizod
