McGrorys of Kerrykeel, Donegal

Does anyone out there have any information about the McGrorys of Kerrykeel, Donegal? My grandfather was Thomas McGrory [born 1876], an only son who had 4 sisters [all 4 emigrated to the USA]. Thomas was a farmer who married Cecelia McLaughlin [family from Drumatrummon but she was born in Kilpatrick(nr Glasgow?), Scotland in c 1890]. They had 12 children: 5 girls and 7 boys. 9 of the family came across to England, 1, Jimmy, went to Glasgow, and 2, John and Raymond, remained in Kerrykeel.

Any information would be very much appreciated!
