Irish Origins Where In Ireland?

Surnames: Adams or Johnston/Johnson
My original ancestor from Northern Ireland, Jane Adams Johnston (B. 1817), married Thomas Johnston and arrived in America in 1834. Her obituary in 1904 (Little Falls, NY) states she was from "County Faire, in northern Ireland". There is no such county. Any thoughts about which county that might be??

There are 6 northern counties - could it be "Fermanagh"? Any of them formerly known as "Faire" or nick-named that?
