John HEFFERNAN was most likely born c1795 in either the Civil Parish of Templemaley or Kilraghtis near Barefield in the central part of County Clare a few kilometers North of the county seat: Ennis, and spent most of his life in nearby parishes.

By the 1820's the HEFFERNANS populated adjoining Townlands in the Civil Parish of Kilraghtis: Rossleven, Drumgranagh, and Ballymacahill and Ballyduff-Patterson in Templemaley Parish – all near Barefield.

By 1834, he was a tenant farmer near Finlough in the Civil Parish of Tomfinlough a few miles North of Newmarket-on-Fergus. At the 1838 baptism in Newmarket-on-Fergus of Honor, John and Bridget were listed as residents of Ardsollus (Civil Parish of Doora) which was a 125 acre townland a few miles North of Newmarket-on-Fergus adjoining the Townland of Mooghaun North, Civil Parish of Tomfinlough, County Clare where John is listed in 1855 (Griffith's Taxables) as a tenant of Lord INCHIQUIN paying £1.10.0 on approximately 3 acres of farmland. Living nearby was John JR in partnership with in-laws: Mathias MCCORMACK and Michael MCCORMACK.

Most of the HEFFERNAN children emigrated to Cayuga Co. NY, Kewaunee Co. WI and Buchanan Co. IA.
