- The ancestors lived in Ballinaraha for the last three hundred years. It was my great Grandfather that brought John Omahoney to Dungarvan. John OMahoney was a Fenian in the year 1848 and the English were looking for him to hang him. When they were in Dungarvan my Great-Grandfather got a man named Lynch to bring John Mahoney to America. They took three days to got to Dungarvan. They in the ditches during the day and they travelled in the night.A man named Mandeville brought them to Ballinaraha first. They were living in the count(y) Waterford before.
