    Only one RC church in Co. Longford (Granard) has records existing back to 1786. I just checked Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie  and there are no Patrick McDonnells on their data base in the late 1700s. Likely Patrick was baptized in a Co. Longford church but the records no longer exist. You will need to find info in the USA to identify where Patrick came from and I assume you have already searched for those records.
