My American line began with Peter A. Sheil who married Marcella Neary.Marcella Neary was possibly born in Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland about 1810; may have had 2 sisters; father was a ship chandler; protestant; eloped with Peter because she was marrying beneath the family. Peter was apparently from Trim; 1 of 5-7 brothers; tailor; catholic. Left Ireland about 1845-55. May have arrived in NYC, NY.Initially may have settled in West Farms, Bronx, NY. Ultimately settled in Auburn, NY by 1857 (he was in the Auburn City Directory then as a tailor at the prison)
