Hello - I don’t know who the father of my John Donnelly is. We were only able to trace back to the first Donnelly who arrived in the US.

My John Donnelly settled down in NYC and the family stayed there for a few generations

taking a wild guess - going to assume you can eliminate Francis as the father of your John. My John had two sons, one who was named Joseph "F" Donnelly, and he had a son named Francis ;) . This is all speculation, of course

I'm a little late to the party here. I recently discovered that someone in my extended family traced back our ancestry back to a John Donnelly from Maghera, Donegal, Ireland. He was born in 1834 and arrived in New York City in 1850. He married  Catherine Langan (from Ballymore Ireland). He died in 1870. I'm not sure how accurate any of this information is, so take it with a grain of salt
