I checked the Griffiths Valuation head of household listing (Griffiths was condcuted in ireland from 1848-1864) for the name McKeough. This was after your ancestors left but should be a good indication of where the name was found. There were only 18 McKeough records for all of Ireland and 17 of the 18 were in Co. Clare and 15 of the 17 were in Obriensbridge civil parish. I would focus my research in that area. ou may want to start with the Clare library. http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/genealog.htm
The 18 records are below.

Hi, Your man says he's from Tipperary Town in the Rutland County Naturalizations. Some transcriber mangled his name as "Lans or Lant Kough or Keough." Buried in St Alphonsus Cemetery Pittsford Vermont as you probably know.
