DEATH RECORD FOR PATRICK FINN (1837-1888) MARTINSBURG, LEWIS COUNTY, NY

Kerry

I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO INTERPRET THE BIRTHPLACE OF MY GG PATRICK FINN FROM HIS DEATH RECORD OF DECEMBER 30, 1888 FROM MARTINSBURG, NY .

HE AND HIS MOTHER, ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM FINN (1804?) , AND BROTHER MICHAEL FINN(1847)
ARRIVED IN THE MARTINSBURG, NY AREA @1853. HIS BROTHER JAMES FINN(1828) HAD ALREADY ESTABLISHED A LOG HOME ON PROPERTY THERE@1850.

IT APPEARS TO BE LICKEN, CARREY(KERRY?), IRELAND BUT I AM UNABLE TO LOCATE HIM IN COUNTY KERRY OR ANY SUCH TOWN/PARISH?

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME ADVISE FROM THE ATTACHED:

Hi again,

Perhaps it is the townland of Lickeen in Co. Kerry:

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
I thought the same but I became confused when I found a Catholic Birth /Baptism record for :
Pat of Pat Finn and Betty Cunningham 8 June 1837 for Cashel & Emily, Golden &. Kilfeacle Parish, Tipperary.
Perhaps his wife, Jane Owens Finn, gave the wrong information or it was interpreted and spelled incorrectly. It definitely looks like Likeen, Carrey(Kerry) and I don't think one could have interpreted that from Tipperary!
My search has been quite frustrating but
I' ll continue my efforts to attempt to solve this puzzle.
Thank you again for your help and insight.
