I'm sure there must be a connection somewhere. Where did your husband's parents end up? My great grandfather Patrick LEAHY came over as a teen in 1847 and settle in Owego NY after a couple of years with an uncle near Chicago. He married Ann TIERNEY. His father was Michael LEAHY, who came over later since he is buried with other LEAHYs in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Owego. My grandfather, Patrick's son, was James J. LEAHY. - Ray
