Looking for information about my great grandfather

RoscommonKiltoom (Roscommon)

I am searching for information about my great grandfather who was born in Kiltoom in 1838. John Murray left Ireland as a young man and came to America. He worked on the railroad and eventually settled in Michigan. He was joined at some point by his sister and his brother. I do not know if he had other siblings. I would be curious to find any information about his family.
