Hugh Sheeran was born in Ireland circa 1842 and emigrated to Philadelphia circa 1857. His older brother John, born circa 1835, also immigrated to Philadelphia. A passport application indicates John's place of birth was County Derry, but DNA evidence indicates that the family was from Donegal, possibly the Letterkenny area.
Co. Derry, also known as Londonderry or Doire in Irish, is one of the six counties in Northern Ireland. Derry is famous for its old intact city walls which surround the old city and also for the pretty Sperrin Mountains and Lough Neagh. We have a population of approximately 247,132. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
