O'Haire/Hare Surname

My ancestors changed the name back in the early 1800's to Hare leaving out the O and the i in the name, it had something to do with being presecuted for being a foreigner. So alot of the immigrants from Ireland dropped the O and changed the spelling to make their way in the US. My Ggrandfather (3xback) settled in Watertown, NY and raised a very large family there. This included my grandfather Thomas Eugene Hare, who married Amelia Veronica Connor and they had six boys one of them my father, Douglas Gerard Hare. His brothers were Thomas, Richard, Carlton, Duane and Page. Any information anyone has would be appreciated. Our Irish ancestors were from Armagh County, Ireland. Thanks

I have a Thomas Hairr in my line and am wondering if it could be related. I know there were a few names changes (adding a R and dropping an O). This is what I know of him -
Thomas Hairr, married Bedie Howard about 1833 in North Carolina and had a son Stephen. I know the line is of Irish descent, I just can't find the link yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for information about Joseph O'Haire, born in Ireland around 1847, location unknown. Parents were Daniel and Margaret.
Do you know of anyone in any of the counties in Ulster, including Armagh, who would have information about the O'Haire family there?
Many thanks!
