Surnames: Cleare, Cleere, Phelan, Whalen, Whelan
I am trying to locate any genealogy facts on Brigid Cleare b. 1783. She married about 1812 to John Phelan in Knockahaw "Queen's County" Ireland. They had 12 children. All immigrated after John Phelan died in 1838. Their landowner was Lord Fitzpatrick Castletown (maybe switched). The spelling of the surname is also Cleere depending on family documents but I don't have any thing else on her family. She is my 5th great grandmother. After the family migrated to America the surname was changed to Whalen or Whelan depending on documents.
