Raw townland is in Co. Monaghan.... Annie was asking about Connolly's in Raw the other day, will contact her about your thread.
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

The story retold many times in the family was that the son, Thomas Connolly, was illegitimate and shouldn't have inherited what was left......my grandfather , being the eldest grandson renounced the inheritance in favour of Thomas...whether true or not, it makes a good family tale. You guys on here are amazing, thanks for your help.

There were Rutherfords in Cootehill - Townland of Drumgreen - as well as Main St Cootehill with a linens/threads shop - early 1800's.  Members of the same family immigrated to Lanarkshire, Scotland, late 1840's.  John Rutherford's male line did survive, despite many hardships and deaths,  and there are descendants to this day in same area of Glasgow.   Members of this same family that stayed in Cootehill are found in the townland of Maghernacaldry  or "Caldry" in the late 1850's and their family survived with many descendants immigrated to NYC in 1890's.
