NLI has no records for Killyleagh, unfortunately.
Killyleagh is in the RC parish of Kilmore. From what I can see the earliest records they have are baptisms starting in 1837. There’s a copy on the Ulster Historical Foundation site (pay to view). I don’t think anything exists prior to that.
There’s quite a few McGreevys from Killyleagh mentioned on the Ros Davies site, including Patrick’s burial:

Thank you so much! I did not have the exact parish but do have Ros Davies record.

Hi, Im searching for MCGREEVY family history in the Killyleah area. My 5th Grandfather was Patrick MCGreevy who Maried Elizabeth Downey. I’ve notice this entry from 2015 and hoping to connect with relatives and surface some family history. I live in Australia and can be contacted via email Hamiltonlancat@gmail.com
Hope to connect.
