3GGF Tinothy Murphy & Timothy Linehan evicted from tenant farms in 1849 by Henry Wyse landlord

Leslie , I ended up meeting John O’Connell in person in 2024 in Stuake w youngest first cousin of my late father . John drove both of us around Bunkilla estate where my 3GGF, Timothy Murphy (1782-1852) , his brother in law , my 4GGU, Timothy Linehan ( 1792- 1864) were both summarily evicted along w 30 other tenant farmers in July 1850 by English landlord , Henry Wyse . I know Linehans moved to Wisconsin and Minnesota while another son moved south to Derry Townland , SW of Donoughmore . Timothy Murphy & family moved to Fornacht / Derry ? Can anyone help out ? Where is then Murphy family vault ? It’s not at Donoughmore Old Cross cemetery as I visited there twice - overgrown w bushes, broken tombstones w only English landlords tombstones well legible and upright !! Cheers !
