Ellen,
Michael James McDonald (McDonnell) was born in Ireland in 1823, as best we know in or near Cork; to Michael McDonald (McDonnell, McDonal) and Margaret Cahill.
Michael J came to America in 1846 and settled in Manchester NH where he, in 1851 married Rhoda Mary Felch, dau of Benjamin Felch or Orford NH and Dolly Andrews.
Michael J had a brother, Edmond who remained in Ireland and who was a merchant in Cork, and three sisters, one named Ellen who also came to America, married and lived in Massachusetts.
Michael J McDonald had a shoe business with a partner from Kilkenny, named Walter Casady.
Other than for my grandfather, Benjamin F McDonnell (as we have hence spelled our name), who married Katherine F Gehring, I no next to nothing definitive of this side of my family.
I know this is more than asked for. I hope it's more help than confusion
John McDonnell
