Sean,
I also descend from Richard Blanchfield/Ann Phelan through their son William, who moved to Brooklyn, NY after a disagreement with his father Richard.
I've already discovered through Kelley that neither Richard nor Ann have tomstones in St. Columban's cemetery though they are buried there. ?
Of all my Irish ancestors, these two are the only ones I can trace directly back to Ireland. ?I'd love to compare notes with anything local details you might have about the family/house/farm, etc. especially photos.
Michael
