Thank you to all who replied.  In the new year I am going to subscribe to rootsireland.ie to see if I can find a death for John Coen, a 2nd marriage for Maria Casserly Coen to a Casey, and possibly a birth for Sarah Casey 1863-1870.

Thank you Elwyn,
I have the civil registration and was hoping for the church record with both parents listed.

There is no other person in the 1905, 1910, or 1920 census living with the family.  Also, in the letter he hopes "you and Jerry are well" which sounds like a couple.  I was thinking that Michael's father died and his mother Maria Casserly Coen remarried a Casey, but have found no records to support that.  That is what I am hoping to find.

Is it possible to send a link for the marriage record below as I have not been able to find it?

Thank you for all the information.  To answer your questions - Sarah Casey married Jeremiah Walsh 23 Nov 1904 in Eyota, Minnesota, USA.  The marriage license gives no information except names.  I am still trying to track down the church records for that parish.  In the newspaper announcement she is referred to as "Miss Sarah Casey."  Family has always said she was a cousin of some kind.  She was Jeremiah's second wife.  His first wife's parents were Michael Casserly/Cassidy and Catherine Casey  (more details below) and I think that is where the connection comes in.  On the census for 1900 and 1910 Sarah gives two different years for immigration 1880 and 1884.  (She also gives ages that lead to birth in 1865, 1866, and in two 1870 in the census records after her marriage.)  I have found no record for her in the U.S. between 1880 and her marriage that I can verify.
Michael Casserly was born about 1820 and I think his parents were Owen and Jane Casserly.  Catherine Casey was born about 1830 and I think her parents were Thomas and Anna Casey.  The parent names are from their death records in Minnesota.  I do not have a marriage date for them but they had seven children in Ireland before emigrating, the last listing Roscommon as birth place.  Children were Timothy 1853, John 1854, Thomas 1857, Jane 1859, Michael 1862, Ann 1863, and Catherine 1865.
I hope this helps.

Looking for information about step-grandmother Sarah Casey Walsh (about 1863-1937.)  She was born in Ireland and died in Minnesota, USA.  There are two letters that survive written by Michael J Coen of Leamore to his dear sister and signed your brother.  (I don't know how Michael Coen and Sarah Casey are brother and sister unless there was a second marriage involved.)  Summaries of the letters follow:
1913 - refers to wife Anne, daughter Bee, and sons as well as Sarah's husband Jeremiah Walsh.  He writes about someone named Anne who is in the hospital.  The Sister who has charge of Anne is a daughter of James McLoughlius of Castlerea.  He also writes that Mrs. Casey has died and from what he wrote she may be related to the Anne in the hospital.
1917 - He got a new place just opposite Folliards Gate and is building a new house that will be the best in Leamore.  There was an exchange of property with John. (He has a son John but am not sure if that is the John in the letter.)  John had some land Sarah gave him which he exchanged for Michael's old place.  Sarah's old place went to the Caseys.
Michael J Coen of Leamore, Ballymoe, died 20 Nov 1931, aged 78 years and was interred in Ballintubber Cemetery.
Michael's wife Anne died November 1913.  Solemn Requiem High Mass was held at St Bride's Church, Ballintubber, with internment in the family burial ground, Ballintubber.  (I believe it might be spelled Ballintober today.)
I found a baptism Microfilm 04618/05 p. 33 Ballintubber and Ballymoe that I'm not sure is correct but the date matches age at death.

Any assistance anyone could offer to solve this connection would be greatly appreciated.  I will be visiting Ireland in May 2020 and plan to spend a couple of days in Ballymoe area.  If there are records available I could check, please let me know.
Thank you

Yes, that is correct.  Although I thought his name was Stewart not Stuart.  Do you have contact information for him?

Hi Lynne,
I just found this chat when I was searching Barker House trying to find present owner.  About 10 years ago on a visit from the USA a distant relative drove me by Barker House.  (We are both descended from John and Catherine's son Peter, brother to your Barbara.)   I would like to see it up close when I visit this fall.  Catharine Orde is my 7th great grandmother.
Have you found anything more since the last post?  I am going to Salt Lake City late fall and will put this baptism on my list to look for when I get tired of looking at German records.  Since no one else seems to have found it, I don't hold out much hope.
Are you familiar with the Google Wagonways maps?  I have been able to find many of the places ancestors lived using this site.  Barker House is on https://sites.google.com/site/waggonways/ny/85/ny8560

Thank you for the link.  Your link is actually to the Acomb near Hexham sometimes called West Acomb to differentiate from Bywell Acomb near Bearl.  I did find it on the 1820 map for Ovingham by which time it is "Acomb" so will just have to assume it went through the same spelling changes as the other.
