Edward Feagan Jr. Abt 1720-1780

Edward Feagan Jr. Abt 1720-1780

Classification: Query
Surnames: Feagan
I am trying to find out or verify the birthplace of Edward Feagan Jr. I have seen trees showing he was born in Ireland, and a passenger list with an Edward Feagan dated 1744 to VA (may not be related)

However, most trees/records I have seen have his father Edward Feagan Sr born in VA (1685-1744). His wife - Margaret Johns was also born in VA, as were most (if not all) of his siblings.

The date of entry of 1744 matches his fathers death and his year of marriage to Elizabeth Knox in VA.

I am trying to figure out why his siblings and parents would be born in VA but him in Ireland. Does anyone have any information on this? Perhaps the trees are in error and he was actually born in VA?

Hoping someone can shed some light on this mystery for me. Thanks in advance.
