I am looking for the origins of my gg grandmother, Abigail Elizabeth Quill.  She was born in approx 1840 and emigrated to Elmira NY around 1863.  She married my my gg grandfather John Donahue of Glenflesk Kerry before or after emigrating. I believe she is the sister of Jeremiah Quill who also left Cork for Elmira NY.  Jeremiah's descendants report that orally it has been told that the family was from Inchigeelagh, County Cork.  Thank you in advance for any help.
