Seeking QUINN carpenters residing or originating in County Longford

Greetings. I am descended from Michael QUINN (born circa 1802) and Brigid FLYNN Quinn (born circa 1804), who were married in 1826 in Killoe, County Longford.

Using documents located at rootsireland.ie, I've identified several children born to this couple.  Their sons who emigrated to America were all carpenters, and a distant cousin told me that QUINNs in County Longford were well known for their woodworking skills.

Searching via google, I see that there are QUINN carpenters in the area.  I'm interested in hearing from or about any of them whose parents, grandparents, great-grandparents also were carpenters.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Mary:

In the 1901 census for Co. Longford there were exactly 100 Quinn households. Only four of the heads of households were carpenters and three of the four lived in Longford town. The other Quinn family headed by Hugh Quinn lived in the townland of Killeter in the civil parish of Killoe.

Hugh and three of his sons were all carpenters.
