Hello,
The first name of Francis runs in my McEnerny/McInerney/McNerney family line. My Francis(Frank) was born in Akron, OH to parents Michael McEnerny b. 1846 in County Limerick and Mary Coster. Michael was son to John Mcenerny b. about 1800, married Mary McMahon. Immigrated about 1852 to Canada where daughter Katherine was born in 1856. John died between 1856 to 1870. Whether it was in the US or in Canada I don't know but there is a John McEnerny noted as being in the Union army. Michael immigrated in 1864 to Muskingum, Ohio and then went on to Akron where, according to the 1870 census he lived there with his mother, Mary (noted as being a seamstress)and sister Katherine (noted as being in school).
I guess I have said all of this to say that I have found that first names run in families and if you can pin down the first names you will usually find a match somewhere. Have you gotten anymore information on your McNerney line?
Thanks,
Annemarie
