Migrated to/Born in USA

Looking for PETER McHUGH , who married MARY CREAL (?) believed to be Catholic.. 

 Believed to be parents  of JOHN, b  Abt 1841, THOMAS b. abt 1842 and PETER MCHUGH b. abt 1848 possibly from MOHILL, COUNTY LEITRIM. (Naturalization appllication) 

All born in  1840's and all were BLACKSMITHS, who immigrated to NYC, USA in mid-to late 1800's.on different dates. Thomas ended up in Arkansas and Peter ended up in Tennessee, but at some point they lost track of John  in New York City and never located him before they died.

  Have found those names in Scotland and Ireland but cannot connect.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Common given names of USA descendants :  John, William, Margaret, Annie, Ella/Ellen, Thomas, Margaret.
