I had a Grandfather, John Tierney, born in Philadelphia @ 1880-1890.brother'sLuke & James, and sister Mame.Married Sarah O'Donnell @ 1912.They had seven children: James (my father) 1918-1988, William, John, Katherine, Marie, Joseph and Rita.Only Katherine (Kitty) survives. Kitty was born in 1925.I have no idea about the history of the Tierney's in Philadelphia, but the thinking is, the Tierney's came to Philadelphia during the Famine @ 1850"s(?).They are also related the White's in Philadelphia, as a Tierney (my Great Grandfather), supposedly married a woman whose maiden name was White, the first name unknown.Hope this helps you in your search.
