Hello again!

I checked on Roots Ireland and did not find a marriage record for Catherine and Michael. Also, did not find any baptismal records for the children you listed. 

You did not mention the religious denomination for the familly but if they were RC then records likely do not exist. There are very few RC records prior to 1850 for Co. Donegal.

Did all of Catherine's children go to America with her?

You could post her story on our XO Chronicles site and see if someone recognizesd a connection.  https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…
