My g-Granduncle "DONOVAN"

The older brother of my great Grandfather, James Joseph, is John Joseph DONOVAN. He was in the U.S. for a short period of time in the mid to late 1870's. He lived in Chicago, Illinois, for that duration of time. He then returned to Ireland. He was originally from County Antrim, Ireland, but when he returned there, he settled in County Clare. He married, but I do not know the name of the female. I have limited knowledge on his family, as he did not keep in contact with his younger brother once he returned to Ireland.
