I did not understand what the phrase "ignorance is bliss" meant until I educated myself.

Cashel, where the Bibbys were mainly living, is an ancient settlement, that has served as an “ecclesiastical hub and military fortress” and once the “seat of the Kings of Munster”...In years that followed varying Bibbys and Millses would be living (and be born) within County Tipperary, some in Ballysheehan, and others in related places. From 1825-1827, they were in an area comprising of 880 miles, all within County Tipperary. One event, the residence of one Owen Bibby, was far afield, in Newcastle parish at the southern party of County Tipperary was the outlier. Apart from showing the residence of Millses (two men named John Mills, Edward Mills, and Joseph Mills), and Bibbys (Samuel Bibby, Thomas Bibby, and Benjamin Bibby), this seems to again show that the two families could have easily crossed paths before coming to the United States...By the early 1830s, these two families were still in the same area. Some, like Nicholas Bibby, were living in Crohane, Terma & Garrysalla. Others, like John Mills, were in “Ballysheehane Parish”...it is possible the Mills and Bibby families were Catholic...The following year, in 1839, one Mills and one Bibby (or more) arrived in New York. Edward Mills arrived in Niagara, New York on June 1 or 2. He, like John Mills, lived in the town of Chester. Also that year, Robert Bibby arrived in the US, with the exact location of his arrival unknown. However, it is clear that he settled in Warren County New York as well. As the family story goes, he married Margaret Ann Bibby in 1839. This is why the Bibby family matters. They would be the parents, in years to come, of Dora A. Mills, Robert Byron Mills (RBM I), and many others. As for the Bibbys there were a whole group of them that came over in 1839 and settled in Pottersville, NY, including a man named Elias Bibby with a wife named Eleanor and two children. They reportedly left Irela[n]d because their home was burned down twice possibly because they were Protestants in a Catholic area.By 1840, the Millses and Bibbys were more firmly planting their roots in Warren County. The same year that Robert Bibby gave a naturalization declaration and listing his age, the 1840 census revealed another record listing John Mills...[In 1841] a man named Benjamin Bibby was living, seemingly, in Essex Co, New York, town of Minerva with a wife and child. Also that year, another Bibby immigrated, reportedly, on a ship named the SS Fairfield with his grandfather, Thomas Bibby and grandmother Ann Lyndop. He would live in New York until 1875, with his wife, named Margaret Johanna Shaw, dying six years prior, also in Essex County, New York. The Bibbys would settle in the Adirondack Mountains in horrible farm land in Chester which had a large settlement of Irish and harsh winters. Some would move to Ontario, Canada in later years, staying as farmers sometimes with large amounts of land, while others would go to Chester in Orange County or to Orleans County. When Robert Jacob Bibby, the man who married a woman named Rachel Ann Mills, born in Hew Park, Ireland on July 25, 1802, died at age 102 in 1904, a local paper in Ontario, Canada described him. It said he was “born in Tipperary County Ireland, in July 1804. In 1837 he came to America and settled in New York State” before coming to Canada in 1864. Other family stories seem to indicate the spread of Bibbys across New York in counties including Wayne, Oswego, Orleans, and many more...Both Isaac and Thomas as worth a brief mention because they both were buried in the same cemetery as Margaret Bibby and her husband John Mills. In the years that followed, Mills and Bibby family members would continue to work to become US citizens. Edward Mills, in 1842 and 1844, gave a naturalization declaration in Chester, while George Bibby did the same in 1844 when he renounced British/Irish loyalty to be a US citizen. According to land records, Beebes (John, Eli, Polly, Hannah) were living in Warren County from 1830 to 1838. It is unknown if they were related to the Bibbys or are another family.

The previous quotes connects to what I wrote previously about the Bibbys, using Find a Grave as a starting point.
