My Thomas Moloney came to America around 1829 before the Famine. He and his wife brought 12 kids with them 11 girls and 1 boy and landed in Troy, New York. Sometime between then and 1840 Thomas died. His wife and some of the kids moved to St. Louis, Missouri. 

The only record I can find for them is a birth baptism of John Moloney born in 1827 to Thomas Moloney and Elizabeth Staunton in Rockhill. The witness is Wm Daly. 

On Ancestry I have a DNA match to Daniel Moloney and Nora Daly in Bruff. Bruff is 15 minutes from Rockhill. 

I see that in Rockhill is a John Moloney's Bar does anyone have information on the bar or a Moloney or Staunton family in Rockhill? 

Then I have my great great grandmothers sister who's son stated that the family came from Limerick on her death certificate. So there is my Limerick connections.

    Irish press warns against Jamaican Indentured Servitude

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
