Thomas Leavy/Leavey in Longford County. Ireland

[joyce2805]

I am researching Thomas Leavy/Leavey born in 1760 in Ireland most likely in County Longford married to Bridget Keogan born in 1765.  I suspect he might be the father of my 2nd great grandfather, Christopher Leavy/Leavey born in 1781 and married to Jeanne Dinnegan born in about 1796.  I know of only one child born to Thomas and Bridget and she (Mary) was born in 1782 one year after my 2nd great grandfather’s birth year.  She was born and baptized in Robinstown, County, Longford. Ireland.  She married Patrick Rogers born in 1888 in County Longford, Ireland.

My hope is to identify any other possible children Of Thomas Leavy/Leavey and Bridget Keogan.  My 2nd great grandparents lived in Cooleeny, County Longford with their seven children. Any assistance with locating possible children for Thomas Leavy/Leavey and Bridget Keogan will be so appreciated and extremely helpful.

Thank you.

Ancestry's ThruLines suggests that Thomas LEAVEY and Bridget KEOGAN were my 5x-great-grandparents - based on the research of a distant cousin. But I'm not yet sure if this is correct as I've found few DNA matches with LEAVEYs or KEOGANs in their trees. I could be wrong, though.

My 3x-great-grandmother was Rose ROGERS (said to be the granddaughter of Thomas and Bridget), who was born in the early 1800s, married Thomas DOYLE, and later lived in Aghamore Upper, Columkille/Colmcille Parish, Longford.

Have you taken a DNA test? So far I've identified about 30 descendants of Rose and Thomas who are DNA matches on Ancestry, so genetics might be able to confirm your suspicions - that is, if my cousin's theory is accurate.

Feel free to PM me for more details!
