Kentuckiana Genealogy: County: Jefferson Co., Kentucky: Ridge family from County Galway, Ireland

I'm looking for any information regarding the Ridge name from County Galway. My great-grandmother, Miria Ridge, came to Louisville at age about 8 in the late 1840's. While we have no evidence of her being accompanied by family, I suspect that her father, Michael Ridge, and, probably, mother Catherine immigrated at the same time. In addition, the parents may have had more children in this country. If anyone can fill in any names and/or further data here, I'd really appreciate it.
