SHEA/ O'SHEA, County Kerry, Ireland; New Haven, Conneticut

Surnames: Shea, Sullivan, Brennan, Swift, French, Wells
Hello
I am seeking information on Patrick Timothy Shea who immigrated from County Kerry with his 5 brothers in the late nineteenth century. Two of the brother's names were Cornelius and Dennis.

He worked on a ranch in Conneticut and married the rancher's dughter, Mary Ellen (Sullivan) Shea who was born in U.S. (1868) and college educated. Both of her parents were born in Ireland-- details unknown. He worked at Yale Lock company and attended the annual Kerryman's Ball. He was too proud to allow Mary to inherit the Sullivan ranch.

They lived in New Haven, CT where they raised 4 children:
-John Patrick Shea, artist
lived in NY; MA & FL
-Eugene Francis Shea
lived in NY, married Molly Brennan and had 2 boys: Jerome and James.

-Irving Russell Shea (b. 7-31-1901)
lived in Manhattan & Brooklyn, NY; San Jose,CA, married Ruth Swift and had 2 children: Richard & Susan. Later married Barbara Wells and had daughter Kathleen.

-Mary Cecelia Shea(b. 11-03-1906(?)
married William French, no children, lived in MA, Sarasota,FL; San Jose,CA

I am totally new at this, and would really appreciate any help/suggestions.
Thanks
