     Thomas Walsh was the first of the Walshes to be identified in this search. His family history is somewhat remarkable in that it is a history of a family that literally scattered like the wind spreading to all points of the globe. No dates for his birth or death have been found as yet, but he is the starting point for the rest of this story. He either owned or rented the family farm in Coolboy and had seven children. It was said that the Walsh home was referred to as "The House of Scholars," though there doesn't seem to be an explanation for the name.

Coolboy is located in the Parish of Kilbeheny, Barony of Coshlea, County Limerick. According to land and property valuations of 1830 and 1852, there were 20 Walsh land/property holders in the Parish at that time. Further research to pinpoint Thomas Walsh needs to be done in Sir Richard Griffith's land valuations and other Irish resources.


Five of the seven children of Thomas Walsh eventually emigrated to the United States. Thomas, Maurice, Johanna, Ellen, and Patrick came to the United States and started families with the exception of Maurice, who died at the age of 26 in Torrington before he ever married.


Johanna's branch of the family became centered in Cameron, Missouri following her marriage to Daniel Molan. Ellen's branch is centered in Torrington, CT where she married John Kennedy. Patrick Walsh also settled in Torrington where he married Mary Ryan. Thomas Francis Walsh settled in Derby, CT and married Alice Monahan and had two children. Alice Monahan died and Thomas remarried Anna Tobin. There were two other children, Mary and Matthew. Mary moved to Australia in 1888 and married Daniel Hayes and started one of the largest branches in the family in Queensland. Matthew Walsh stayed at home, married Mary Tobin, and settled on the farm maintaining the family link.
