-
-
-This is the sixth volume of the JOURNAL of the Society. It continues the
-series so auspiciously begun years ago and which has been added to
-annually. These six volumes represent a great amount of work and contain
-a vast deal of historical material relative to the Irish element in the
-composition of the American people. As we progress with our researches,
-even we ourselves are quite astonished at the facts brought to light,
-facts showing in a far greater degree than anticipated, how tremendously
-important was the part taken by the Irish element in American colonial
-life and in the early and subsequent career of the republic itself. The
-present volume sets forth much matter of interest and value in this
-regard, and is in every way a worthy companion for the volumes of the
-JOURNAL that have preceded it.

-               THE ANNUAL MEETING AND DINNER, A. D. 1906.
-
-
-The annual meeting and dinner of the Society took place at the Hotel
-Manhattan, 42d Street and Madison Avenue, New York City, on Thursday
-evening, January 18, 1906. Preceding the meeting a reception was held,
-during which the members and guests from various cities and states
-exchanged greetings and congratulated each other upon the continued
-success of the organization.
-
-The annual meeting was called to order by Hon. John D. Crimmins of New
-York City, president-general of the Society.
-
-Thomas Hamilton Murray of Boston, Mass., secretary-general of the
-organization, recorded the minutes of the meeting.
-
-Mr. Crimmins delivered an address of welcome and felicitated the Society
-upon its usefulness and good work in the cause of historical truth.
-
-It was voted that, in order to save time, the reading of the records of
-the preceding meeting be omitted.
-
-The annual reports of the secretary-general and the treasurer-general
-were then presented, and were accepted and adopted.
-
-Appropriate action was taken on members of the Society who had died
-during the year.
-
-Mr. Edward J. McGuire of New York City, paid an eloquent tribute to the
-late Francis C. Travers of the Society. Mr. Travers was one of the
-leading New York members of the organization and always took an active
-interest in advancing its interests and welfare.
-
-The list of officers nominated by the executive council to serve the
-Society for the ensuing year, was presented and was unanimously elected,
-the secretary-general being authorized to cast one ballot for the same.
-(The ticket is set forth on pages 5 and 6 of this volume.)
-
-Upon the result of the election being announced, Hon. Franklin M.
-Danaher of Albany, N. Y., the newly-chosen vice-president-general, took
-the chair, in the absence of Admiral McGowan, the new president-general.
-
-Judge Danaher thanked the members for the honor bestowed upon him, and
-delivered a brief address along the Society’s line of work.
-
-During the meeting attention was called to the movement to erect a
-monument in Washington, D. C., to Commodore John Barry, and the active
-interest of the members of the Society was urged in behalf of the
-project.
-
-After thanks had been extended the retiring officers for their services
-to the Society, several new members were elected and the meeting
-adjourned.
-
-
-                           THE ANNUAL DINNER.
-
-Upon the adjournment of the business meeting, the members and guests
-proceeded to the banquet hall of the Manhattan for the annual dinner.
-Judge Danaher presided and seated on his right and left, among others,
-were: the retiring president-general, Hon. John D. Crimmins; Hon. Joseph
-T. Lawless of Norfolk, Va.; Michael F. Dooley, of the Union Trust
-Company, Providence, R. I.; Hon. John Hannan, mayor of Ogdensburg, N.

-by other gentlemen.
-
-The evening’s exercises likewise included solo and chorus singing, with
-orchestral accompaniment, the selections including “The Star Spangled
-Banner” and “Killarney.”
-
-
-
-
-          ADDRESS TO THE SOCIETY BY PRESIDENT-GENERAL McGOWAN.
-
-
-The following address was issued early in the year by President-General
-McGowan:
-
-  _To the Members of the American-Irish Historical Society_:
-
-  GENTLEMEN: Permit me to express my gratitude for the honor you have
-  done me in electing me to be your president-general for the ensuing
-  year. I accept the office, and will discharge its duties and
-  responsibilities to the utmost of my ability.
-
-  To be the official head of a society such as ours is a position any
-  man, no matter how exalted his place in life, should be proud to
-  hold. My distinguished predecessors in the office—Meade, Moseley,
-  Gargan, Crimmins, McAdoo—have ably presided over the Society’s
-  affairs in the past and have reflected honor upon the organization,
-  as honor has been reflected upon them in virtue of their being
-  chosen to that high station.
-
-  The American-Irish Historical Society is now in its tenth year of
-  existence. It has accomplished a vast amount of good, and the
-  practical work it has so abundantly performed is of permanent value
-  and utility. No organization was more needed and none has a broader
-  or more glorious field in which to work.
-
-  The Irish chapter in American history is one of the most important
-  and interesting in our career as a nation. It was a strong and
-  important chapter in America for even a century before we became a
-  nation, and has gone on increasing in importance and potency, in
-  value and interest, as generation has succeeded generation, until
-  today it stands unsurpassed in the respects mentioned.
-
-  As John Boyle O’Reilly once wrote,
-
-             We slight no true devotion, steal no fame
-             From other shrines to gild the Pilgrims’ name.
-
-  So I may say, we rob no race to gild the Irish name when we
-  undertake to unearth the records of the past, showing what the Irish
-  element has accomplished in the early colonial periods and in later
-  periods when the republic was forming and had become a fact. We
-  merely wish to claim, assert and set forth the credit which to us
-  belongs, for the part that men and women of Irish blood took in
-  bringing about the reign of liberty and freedom we now enjoy.
-
-  Toward people of all other race elements in the make-up of the
-  American people—English, French, Dutch, German, etc., by whatever
-  name they may be known or from whatever land they or their ancestors
-  may have come—we entertain good will and desire them to have such
-  meed of credit and of praise as to them belongs. We do not wish to
-  praise ourselves by “masquerading in borrowed plumes,” nor have we
-  any desire to detract one iota from the credit that is honestly that
-  of others.
-
-  But the credit that is ours we demand and shall insist upon
-  possessing. Our mission is “To make better known the Irish chapter
-  in American history.” That brief statement of our principles conveys
-  in a very few words our exact reason for existence as a society.
-
-  We are an American historical organization devoted to a work that
-  shall place the Irish element in this great republic in its proper
-  and merited position before the American people of which we
-  constitute no small part, and which shall, at the same time, reflect
-  glory upon the Irish fatherland. Our Society rests upon a generous
-  basis. Its founders builded wisely and for the perpetuation of the
-  heroic deeds of the past. I trust these founders will long be
-  honored by every member of the organization.
-
-  Reviewing the work thus far accomplished by the Society, I am
-  prompted to say a few words: With very limited financial means, we
-  have, nevertheless, produced five handsome volumes of the JOURNAL of
-  the organization, two other volumes of great merit and a number of
-  extremely interesting pamphlets. Copies of these publications have
-  been placed in the leading libraries of the country, where they have
-  been cordially welcomed. Our publications are in the libraries of
-  such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell,
-  Georgetown, Princeton, and other great universities, where they are
-  having an excellent influence.
-
-  Here in Washington our publications are in the library of Congress,
-  in that of the George Washington University, in the Catholic
-  University and in the newly-established Trinity College for young
-  women. The United States Military Academy at West Point also has our
-  works on its shelves, as has the Naval Academy at Annapolis. From
-  many leading historical societies come reports of our publications
-  being received by them.
-
-  Many of the great public libraries—North, South, East and West are
-  in receipt of the works issued by our Society, and the same are in
-  constant demand for consultation and reference. Among these public
-  libraries are those of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston,
-  Chicago, Troy, Rochester, Oswego, Buffalo, Detroit, Milwaukee,
-  Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco and other cities.
-
-  This is practical work. I know of no other society that in so short
-  a time has done so much of real, lasting value as has ours. Indeed,
-  when we consider all the circumstances, we have done astonishingly
-  well. Many societies hoary with age, in the possession of plethoric
-  treasuries, and constantly receiving large bequests, have done no
-  better, if as well, from a practical viewpoint.
-
-  Our Society is fortunate in having an indefatigable secretary, who
-  from the start has worked in season and out of season to advance the
-  interests of the organization. A competent secretary is a priceless
-  possession for any society, and we have been especially fortunate in
-  this respect.
-
-  The Hon. John D. Crimmins of New York City, my immediate predecessor
-  in the office of president-general, has always been ready with
-  purse, services and hospitality to forward the interests of the
-  Society, and under his administration the organization has made
-  splendid progress. Owing to his initiative, a movement has just been
-  started to raise a permanent fund of $10,000 for the organization.
-  This is good news, indeed, and I have no doubt the amount will be
-  speedily raised. With a substantial fund such as this back of it,
-  the Society will be enabled to be of even greater service in the
-  future than it has in the past.
-
-  The salient work of the organization must be its publications. The
-  more we have of these the better for the cause we have at heart.
-  While a dinner, now and then, is desirable, the organization must
-  never deteriorate into a mere dining club. Too many societies,
-  started with the most comprehensive program, have done this and lost
-  sight of their original purposes. Our Society differs from others in
-  that it is established for historical purposes, to make original
-  research into the records and documents of the past and to place the
-  result of its researches in permanent, tangible form. Careful and
-  frequent publications will enable us to do this.
-
-  A great deal depends upon the continued issuance of the annual
-  volume of the JOURNAL of our Society. That work has thus far been,
-  and will continue to be, of the greatest possible utility. It gives
-  the Society a recognized standing in the community that would be
-  difficult to obtain by any other means. Its advent, year by year,
-  therefore, is of prime importance.
-
-  Speaking incidentally, I may say that I would like to see special
-  attention given during the year to a study of the material bearing
-  upon the reputed voyages to these shores of the Irish missionary,
-  Brendan. These voyages, attributed to a period many centuries
-  preceding Christopher Columbus, appear to be fully as well
-  authenticated as those of the Northmen to Vinland. Indeed, the Norse
-  sagas mention remote Irish comers to these shores and duly credit a
-  land here once known as Great Ireland. De Roo, in his recent work,
-  the _History of America Before Columbus_, goes into this subject in
-  a very entertaining manner. As a rule, our school text-books on
-  history, while accepting implicitly the narratives relative to the
-  Northmen and Vinland, find no room in their pages to even allude to
-  Brendan and his voyages, although, as I have intimated, the latter
-  seem to rest upon as secure an historical basis as the former. Mr.
-  Justin Winsor and other distinguished writers, however, make special
-  mention of the subject and treat the latter with respect.
-
-  The history of the early Irish in Virginia is also deserving of our
-  special attention. Irish names are found in the Old Dominion prior
-  to the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, while in the
-  Plymouth colony itself, Governor Bradford tells us, numbers of Irish
-  arrived a few years after the coming of the _Mayflower_. The war
-  against the Indian king, Philip, 1675–’76, found Irish enlisted on
-  the side of the colonists, showing that at that period sons of old
-  Hibernia were numerous and active here. These and other early
-  periods and movements furnish our Society ample material for
-  consideration.
-
-  As American history progresses, the material increases in volume and
-  is greatly multiplied as the Revolution eventuates. But these facts
-  are well known to you and require no lengthy narrative of detail on
-  my part. I merely briefly refer to them in order, by way of review,
-  to indicate the abundance of material awaiting development at our
-  hands.
-
-  I am delighted with the project now under way by the Society to
-  erect a bronze tablet in the Rhode Island state capitol to the
-  memory of Maj.-Gen. John Sullivan. The idea is a most felicitous one
-  and deserves the heartiest commendation. Sullivan was one of the
-  great soldiers of the Revolution. The placing of the forthcoming
-  tablet will be a merited tribute to his patriotism and military
-  skill while in command of the Rhode Island department and during the
-  entire period of the war.
-
-  There are many other great Americans of Irish blood who deserve like
-  honors, and doubtless the Society will, from time to time, erect
-  tablets to their memory or commemorate them in some other worthy
-  manner. The suggestion that the occasion of the dedication of the
-  Sullivan tablet be made a field day by the Society is a happy one,
-  and will, I trust, be fully carried out.
-
-  As our Society grows in numbers and prosperity, the question of
-  permanent headquarters will demand consideration. Books and
-  pamphlets will accumulate by gift or purchase and a place will be
-  needed where these can be displayed for consultation by the members
-  and others engaged in historical research. Where these headquarters
-  shall be located is a subject for future action. A number of cities
-  are deserving of consideration. In many respects, Washington, the
-  national capital, would be the ideal place, while, New York, Boston,
-  Philadelphia and other cities, also present special advantages. But
-  this whole matter can be fully considered at some future time.
-
-  The Society recalls with pleasure its visit to Washington a few
-  years ago, when it was cordially received at the White House by our
-  distinguished fellow-member, President Roosevelt. I hope that during
-  my term as head of the organization the Society will again have
-  occasion to visit the national capital and once more partake of
-  Washington hospitality.
-
-  Again expressing my gratitude for the honor you have conferred upon
-  me and hoping that I shall have, while president-general, the
-  generous assistance of every member of the Society, I remain
-
-                                            Yours fraternally,
-                                                JOHN MCGOWAN,
-                                                  _President-General_.

-
-
-
-
-                  RECEPTION TO THE PRESIDENT-GENERAL.
-
-
-A brilliant event under the patronage of the Society took place in New
-York City on April 26, 1906. The occasion was a reception to Admiral
-John McGowan, U. S. N., the newly-elected president-general. The
-exercises took place in the residence of the Hon. John D. Crimmins, and
-will long be remembered by the large assemblage participating. Admiral
-McGowan resides in Washington, D. C., and the reception was held in
-order to give him and the members of the Society an opportunity to
-exchange mutual greetings.
-
-The reception was participated in by judges, prominent clergymen,
-distinguished members of the medical, law, journalistic and other
-professions, as well as by leading bankers and gentlemen prominent in
-mercantile life.
-
-Admiral McGowan received in the magnificent drawing-room of Mr.
-Crimmins’ home, the introductions being made by Mr. Crimmins, who was
-assisted by Thomas Hamilton Murray of Boston, the national secretary of
-the Society.
-
-The following is a copy of the notice sent to each member:
-
-
-                   AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

-
-  Owing to the kindness of our fellow member, the Hon. John D.
-  Crimmins, the reception will be held at the home of the latter, 40
-  East 68th Street, and it is hoped that every member of the Society

-
-The company inspected Mr. Crimmins’ splendid library and his costly
-collections of rare old manuscripts and original letters. Among the
-latter were notes written by Washington, Adams, Calhoun, Jackson,
-Jefferson, Carroll, and other historic personages.
-
-Among the Washington letters was one in which the father of his country
-mentions his contemplated purchase of an Irish wolfdog, on the
-recommendation of Lafayette. In a letter by Andrew Jackson occurs this
-sentence: “For you know my parents were Irish.” This very effectually
-disposes of those who have classed Jackson as “Scotch-Irish.”
-
-Attention was called to Cyrus Townsend Brady’s new work, _The True
-Andrew Jackson_, which is dedicated to Mr. Crimmins and the
-American-Irish Historical Society, Doctor Brady being a member of the
-latter. Much interest was also displayed in a new volume by Mr. Crimmins
-himself, entitled _Irish-American Historical Miscellany_, which has
-recently been brought out. It is a volume of some five hundred pages and
-is replete with interesting data.
-
-After the exercises in the drawing-room, lunch was served, and was
-followed by addresses, readings and musical selections. The whole
-occasion was one of unusual interest.

-   PATRIOTS BEARING IRISH NAMES WHO WERE CONFINED ABOARD THE _JERSEY_
-                              PRISON SHIP.
-
-            BY THE HON. JOHN D. CRIMMINS, NEW YORK CITY.[1]
-
-Footnote 1:
-
-  From Mr. Crimmins’ recent book, _Irish-American Historical
-  Miscellany_. (New York, 1905.)
-
-
-The horrors of the _Jersey_ prison ship have often been told. The
-_Jersey_ and other hulks, used by the British, were anchored near the
-Wallabout, Brooklyn, N. Y. Many thousands of prisoners perished on these
-ships by cruelty and disease. The conduct of their captors was inhumane
-and dastardly. It is not surprising, therefore, that the mortality was
-so great.
-
-William Burke, a prisoner aboard the _Jersey_, at one time, has left a
-record in which he states that he was confined on the ship fourteen
-months, and that he saw, among other cruelties, many American prisoners
-put to death by the bayonet. This cruel treatment was never relaxed by
-the English or Scots, but sometimes the more humane Hessians evinced
-pity for the unfortunate sufferers. Burke says:
-
-“During that period, among other cruelties which were committed, I have
-known many of the American prisoners put to death by the bayonet: in
-particular, I well recollect, that it was the custom on board the ship
-for but one prisoner at a time to be admitted on deck at night, besides
-the guards or sentinels. One night, while the prisoners were many of
-them assembled at the grate at the hatchway, for the purpose of
-obtaining fresh air, and waiting their turn to go on deck, one of the
-sentinels thrust his bayonet down among them, and in the morning
-twenty-five of them were found wounded, and stuck in the head, and dead
-of the wounds they had thus received. I further recollect that this was
-the case several mornings, when sometimes five, sometimes six, and
-sometimes eight or ten, were found dead by the same means.”
-
-It is estimated that over eleven thousand prisoners perished, from all
-causes, aboard these ships during the Revolution. The dead would be
-carried ashore and carelessly buried in the sand, their bodies, in many
-cases, to be uncovered by returning tides. For many years after, the
-bones of these martyrs were visible along the shore.
-
-About 1801, John Jackson sold to the United States, through Francis
-Childs, a middleman, forty acres of the Wallabout for $40,000. About
-this time large numbers of Irish refugees arrived and located in New
-York and Brooklyn. They bought some land of Jackson at, or near, the
-Wallabout, the settlement being named “Vinegar Hill.”
-
-During the summer of 1805, a Mr. Aycrigg, shocked at the exposed remains
-of the prison-ship victims, made a contract with an Irishman residing at
-Wallabout, to “collect all the human bones as far as may be without
-digging,” and deliver the same to him. This was done, and these bones
-were a portion of those interred in the vault patriotically erected by
-Tammany.
-
-Among the patriots imprisoned aboard the _Jersey_ were a great many
-Irish. In 1888, the Society of Old Brooklynites published a pamphlet
-dealing with the _Jersey_, and giving the names of several thousand
-persons who had been confined therein, many of whom perished. A copy of
-this pamphlet is in the possession of the New York Historical Society.

-Many other Irish names could be added, but sufficient have been given to
-establish the fact that a large number of the sons of Erin were among
-those who suffered the rigors of the _Jersey_ prison ship.
-
-Capt. Thomas Dring, who was a prisoner aboard the _Jersey_, tells us in
-his _Recollections_ many startling facts about that terrible ship. He
-says: “Silence was a stranger to our dark abode. There were continual
-noises during the night. The groans of the sick and dying; the curses
-poured out by the weary and exhausted upon our inhuman keepers; the
-restlessness caused by the suffocating heat and the confined and
-poisonous air, mingled with the wild and incoherent ravings of delirium,
-were the sounds which, every night, were raised around us in all
-directions.”
-
-And another writer states that the lower hold, and the orlop deck, were
-such a terror that no man would venture down into them. Dysentery,
-smallpox and yellow fever broke out, and “while so many were sick with
-raging fever, there was a loud cry for water; but none could be had
-except on the upper deck, and but one was allowed to ascend at a time.
-The suffering then from the rage of thirst during the night, was very
-great. Nor was it at all times safe to attempt to go up. Provoked by the
-continual cry to be allowed to ascend, when there was already one on
-deck, the sentry would push them back with his bayonet.”
-
-Stiles in his _History of the City of Brooklyn_, narrates a scene that
-took place on the _Jersey_, July 4, 1782. He says: “A very serious
-conflict with the guard occurred ... in consequence of the prisoners
-attempting to celebrate the day with such observances and amusements as
-their condition permitted. Upon going on deck in the morning, they
-displayed thirteen little national flags in a row upon the booms, which
-were immediately torn down and trampled under the feet of the guard,
-which on that day happened to consist of Scotchmen. Deigning no notice
-of this, the prisoners proceeded to amuse themselves with patriotic
-songs, speeches and cheers, all the while avoiding whatever could be
-construed into an intentional insult of the guard; which, however, at an
-unusually early hour in the afternoon, drove them below at the point of
-the bayonet, and closed the hatches. Between decks, the prisoners now
-continued their singing, etc., until about nine o’clock in the evening.
-An order to desist not having been promptly complied with, the hatches
-were suddenly removed and the guards descended among them, with lanterns
-and cutlasses in their hands. Then ensued a scene of terror. The
-helpless prisoners, retreating from the hatchways as far as their
-crowded condition would permit, were followed by the guards, who
-mercilessly hacked, cut, and wounded everyone within their reach; and
-then ascending again to the upper deck, fastened down the hatches upon
-the poor victims of their cruel rage, leaving them to languish through
-the long, sultry summer night, without water to cool their parched
-throats, and without lights by which they might have dressed their
-wounds. And to add to their torment, it was not until the middle of the
-next forenoon that the prisoners were allowed to go on deck and slake
-their thirst, or to receive their rations of food, which, that day, they
-were obliged to eat uncooked. _Ten corpses_ were found below on the
-morning which succeeded that memorable fourth of July, and many others
-were badly wounded.”
-
-An especially affecting incident is told regarding one prisoner, who
-died on the ship: “Two young men, brothers, belonging to a rifle corps,
-were made prisoners and sent on board the _Jersey_. The elder took the
-fever and, in a few days, became delirious. One night (his end was fast
-approaching) he became calm and sensible, and lamenting his hard fate
-and the absence of his mother, begged for a little water. His brother,
-with tears, entreated the guard to give him some, but in vain. The sick
-youth was soon in his last struggles, when his brother offered the guard
-a guinea for an inch of candle, only that he might see him die. Even
-this was denied. ‘Now,’ said he, drying up his tears, ‘if it please God
-that I ever regain my liberty, I’ll be a most bitter enemy!’ He regained
-his liberty, rejoined the army, and when the war ended he had _eight
-large and one hundred and twenty-seven small_ notches on his rifle
-stock.”
-
-The Pennsylvania _Packet_, September 4, 1781, published a letter from
-the _Jersey_, which said: “We bury six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and
-eleven men in a day; we have two hundred more sick and falling sick
-every day.” This will illustrate the terrible mortality aboard the ship.
-
-In his _Recollections of Brooklyn and New York in 1776_, Johnson says of
-the prisoners dying on the _Jersey_: “It was no uncommon thing to see
-five or six dead bodies brought on shore in a single morning, when a
-small excavation would be dug at the foot of the hill, the bodies be
-thrown in and a man with a shovel would cover them by shovelling sand
-down the hill upon them. Many were buried in a ravine of the hill; some
-on the farm. The whole shore, from Rennie’s Point to Mr. Remsen’s
-dooryard was a place of graves; as were also the slope of the hill near
-the house ...; the shore from Mr. Ramsen’s barn along the mill pond, to
-Rapelje’s, and the sandy island between the floodgates and the mill-dam,
-while a few were buried on the shore on the east side of the Wallabout.
-Thus did _Death_ reign _here_, from 1776 until the peace. The whole
-Wallabout was a sickly place during the war. The atmosphere seemed to be
-charged with foul air from the prison ships, and with the effluvia of
-the dead bodies washed out of their graves by the tides. We believe that
-more than half of the dead buried on the outer side of the mill-pond,
-were washed out by the waves at high tide, during northeasterly winds.
-The bones of the dead lay exposed along the beach, drying and bleaching
-in the sun, and whitening the shore, till reached by the power of a
-succeeding storm; as the agitated waters receded, the bones receded with
-them into the deep.... We have, ourselves, examined many of the skulls
-lying on the shore. From the teeth, they appeared to be the remains of
-men in the prime of life.”
-
-“The _Jersey_ at length,” declares Stiles, “became so crowded, and the
-increase of disease among the prisoners so rapid, that even the hospital
-ships were inadequate for their reception. In this emergency, bunks were
-erected on the larboard side of the upper deck of the _Jersey_ for the
-accommodation of the sick between decks. The horrors of the old hulk
-were now increased a hundred-fold. Foul air, confinement, darkness,
-hunger, thirst, the slow poison of the malarious locality in which the
-ship was anchored, the torments of vermin, the suffocating heat
-alternating with cold and, above all, the _almost total absence of
-hope_, performed their deadly work unchecked. ‘The whole ship, from her
-keel to the taffrail, was equally affected, and contained pestilence
-sufficient to desolate a world—disease and death were wrought into her
-very timbers.’”
-
-“There was, indeed,” Stiles remarks, “one condition upon which these
-hapless sufferers might have escaped the torture of this slow but
-certain death, and that was enlistment into the British service. This
-chance was daily offered them by the recruiting officers who visited the
-ship, but their persuasions and offers were almost invariably treated
-with contempt, and that, too, by men who fully expected to die where
-they were. In spite of their untold physical sufferings, which might
-well have shaken the resolution of the strongest; in spite of the
-insinuations of the British that they were neglected by their
-government—insinuations which seemed to be corroborated by the very
-facts of their condition; in defiance of threats of even harsher
-treatment, and regardless of promises of food and clothing—objects most
-tempting to men in their condition; but few, comparatively, sought
-relief from their woes by the betrayal of their honor. And these few
-went forth into liberty followed by the execrations and undisguised
-contempt of the suffering heroes whom they left behind. It was this
-calm, unfaltering, unconquerable spirit of patriotism—defying torture,
-starvation, loathsome disease, and the prospect of a neglected and
-forgotten grave—which sanctifies to every American heart the scene of
-their suffering in the Wallabout, and which will render the sad story of
-the ‘prison ships’ one of ever-increasing interest to all future
-generations.”
-
-The corner-stone of a vault for the reception of so many of the bones of
-the martyred dead as could be collected, was laid in April, 1808, by
-Tammany. The event was made the occasion of a great demonstration. There
-was a big military and civic parade, artillery salutes and other
-features. Major Aycrigg was marshal of the day and an eloquent oration
-was delivered by Joseph D. Fay of Tammany. On May 26, 1808, the vault
-being completed, the bones were removed thereto, the event being
-signalized by another great demonstration. There were thirteen coffins
-filled with bones of the dead, and 104 veterans of the Revolution acted
-as pall-bearers. Stiles informs us that “The procession, after passing
-through various streets, reached the East River, where, at different
-places, boats had been provided for crossing to Brooklyn. Thirteen large
-open boats transported the thirteen tribes of the Tammany Society, each
-containing one tribe, one coffin, and the pall-bearers.” The scene was
-most inspiring. “At Brooklyn ferry the procession formed again ... and
-arrived at the tomb of the martyrs amidst a vast and mighty assemblage.
-A stage had been here erected for the orator, trimmed with black crape.
-The coffins were placed in front, and the pall-bearers took their seats
-beneath the eye of the orator. There was an invocation by Rev. Ralph
-Williston, and the orator of the day was Dr. Benjamin DeWitt. The
-coffins were huge in size and each bore the name of one of the thirteen
-original states.”

-
-               COMMERCE BETWEEN IRELAND AND RHODE ISLAND.
-
-                BY THOMAS HAMILTON MURRAY, BOSTON, MASS.
-
-
-Including Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island has a long extent of coast
-line. There are in the state 90,000 acres of safe anchorage, varying in
-depth from six feet to twenty fathoms. The state has the Atlantic Ocean
-as its southern boundary. Of its cities and towns some twenty border on
-deep, salt water. It is not surprising, therefore, that Rhode Island
-early attained maritime importance.
-
-For many years ships were sent all over the world from Providence,
-Warren, Bristol and Newport. Their sails whitened many seas. These Rhode
-Island mariners were a hardy race and worthy of the great merchants for
-whom they sailed.
-
-Before the year 1700, their vessels had already become numerous. In due
-time they were known in Barbadoes, Jamaica, St. Kitt’s, Nevis,
-Montserrat and Bermuda. Their sailors cheerily sang in the ports of
-Madeira, Fayal, Surinam and Curaçao, and were welcomed even in India and
-China.
-
-The slave trade was the object of some of these voyages, commerce of
-others, while the fisheries engaged the attention of the rest. In 1738,
-Newport alone had over one hundred vessels engaged in business
-throughout the world. In 1763, the same place sent out 182 vessels on
-foreign voyages in addition to the 352 coastwise and fishing vessels.
-These were manned, all told, by 2,200 seamen. In June and July, 1774,
-the vessels arriving at Newport from foreign voyages numbered 64, in
-addition to 132 coastwise and 17 whalers.
-
-Providence was also a great port. An address to Congress, in 1790,
-stated that there “is a greater number of vessels belonging to this port
-(Providence) than to New York,” and that “it is a place of more
-navigation than any of its size in the Union.” Fortunes were rapidly
-made by merchants engaged in the foreign trade, while domestic commerce
-also brought in its wealth. In reaching out to trade with the world
-Rhode Island merchants, unlike some “historians” of today, did not
-forget Ireland.
-
-Several Rhode Island vessels made regular voyages to and from Irish
-ports. Others made occasional ones, or touched at Belfast, Newry,
-Dublin, Londonderry, Cork or Waterford, on their way to or from British
-and other ports. A list of fifteen vessels engaged regularly or
-occasionally in the Irish trade, is here given: Ships, _Hope_, _Mary_,
-_Neptune_, _Tristram_, _Nancy_, _Robert Burns_, _Catherine_ and
-_Faithful Stewart_; brigs, _Little John_, _Betsy_, _Recovery_, _Sally_,
-_Lydia_ and _Happy Return_; schooner, _Mayflower_. There were probably
-many others, but these fifteen are sufficient to illustrate the point.
-
-Among the captains were Rathbun, Davis, Ambrose, Taggart, Dring, Warner,
-Crawford, Staples, Coffin, Noyes, Allen, Smith, Cook, McCansland,
-Coggeshall and Howland.
-
-Of the foregoing vessels, the _Mary_ and _Little John_ belonged to
-George Gibbs of Newport; the _Hope_ to Samuel Fowler of Newport; the
-_Betsy_ to Charles Handy and the _Recovery_ to Chris. Ellery, both also
-of Newport. These five vessels are specifically mentioned in the
-_Newport Historical Magazine_ as making regular voyages to Ireland. From
-time to time the Newport _Mercury_ chronicles the arrival from Ireland,
-or departure therefor, of other ships and brigs. These were all in
-addition to those sailing between Ireland and Providence.
-
-Among the articles imported from Ireland to Rhode Island at various
-times, were linen and woolen goods, Irish poplins, cambrics, lawns,
-silks, hosiery, sheetings, etc. Irish butter, beef and other food
-products, were also imported. The Newport _Mercury_, August 3, 1772,
-contains an advertisement in which, among other things, “Irish beef” is
-announced for sale. In the Providence _Gazette_, November 20, 1762,
-appears the following:
-
-“By the Newport packet from New York, we are informed, for certain, that
-there are 2000 Firkins of the Best Irish Rose butter, arrived there.—A
-quantity of it is expected to be imported into this town, which we are
-confident will fall the price of that commodity.” Under date of December
-25, 1762, the _Gazette_ says: “Since our last, we hear that a vessel has
-arrived at Newport from Ireland, with 1300 Firkins of butter—Captain
-Champlain, the master of her, died soon after he came out.” In December,
-1764, a vessel from Ireland mistook her bearings and went ashore on
-Block Island. The following notice of the disaster was published in the
-_Gazette_, January 12, 1765:
-
-“On the 25th of last month, in the day time, a large double-decked brig,
-loaded with beef, pork, butter, and candles, bound from Ireland to
-Halifax run ashore on the north part of Block Island, where she soon
-beat to pieces; the people were all saved except the boatswain, who
-perished on the deck, which he would not be permitted to quit with the
-rest.—About 500 barrels of the cargo, with some other articles, were
-also saved. The master’s name we cannot learn.”
-
-The name of the wrecked brig is believed to have been the _Golden
-Grove_. Her Irish cargo was in the nature of supplies for the British
-garrison at Halifax. The fact that the cargo consisted of beef, pork,
-butter and candles, indicate that those articles were exported from
-Ireland in considerable quantities at that period.
-
-Speaking of this wreck, recalls the fact that in 1763, the year before,
-a Rhode Island vessel was stranded on the Irish coast. She was the
-_Samuel and Joseph_, Captain Brown, bound for Amsterdam. In November and
-December, 1766, the Providence _Gazette_ contained this advertisement:
-
-
-                              FOR BELFAST,
-
-                                THE SHIP
-
-  Catherine, Thomas Allen, commander; Takes in her cargo at Newport,
-  and will be ready to sail by the 12^{th} Day of January.—For freight
-  or passage, apply to said Captain on board or to Mr. Benjamin
-  Greene, in Newport.
-
-  PROVIDENCE, Nov. 7, 1766.
-
-June 15, 1772, the Newport _Mercury_ notes the arrival at Newport of
-“the brig _Joseph_, Captain Pie, bound to New York in 49 days from
-Waterford in Ireland.” July 19, 1773, the same paper states that “Last
-Thursday arrived the brig _Sally_, Capt. John Murphy, in 30 days from
-Jamaica.” She brought several passengers. This was probably the _Sally_
-that at another time is mentioned as having reached Dublin under Captain
-Davis. The Providence _Gazette_, February 24, 1776, has this interesting
-note: “Arrived from Ireland, but last from Barbadoes, the sloop _N.
-York_ packet, Capt. John Freers, who informs that the people in Ireland
-and Barbadoes are very warm in the cause of America.” The _Gazette_ also
-published the following:
-
-
-                            FOR LONDONDERRY,
-
-                                THE SHIP
-
-                           FAITHFUL STEWART,
-
-                         _Captain McCausland_:
-
-  Will sail from Newport in ten days.—For Passage apply to Messieurs
-  Clark and Nightingale, in Providence, or the Captain on board.
-
-  PROVIDENCE, Jan. 29, 1785.
-
-Special attention is called to the fact that “passage” is advertised in
-connection with these voyages. This is good evidence that passengers
-sailed direct for Rhode Island from Ireland. Some of these were probably
-merchants or their agents engaged in the Irish trade. The fact that such
-accommodations were provided, likewise justifies the conclusion that
-immigrants also came direct from Ireland to Rhode Island, and in
-considerable numbers, too. These immigrants, in all probability, landed,
-some in Newport and others in Providence. It may be, too, that Warren,
-Bristol, Westerly and other places, likewise received direct Irish
-accessions from this source. Further on will be found additional
-evidence of direct immigration from Ireland.
-
-Another advertisement in the Providence _Gazette_ reads as follows:
-
-
-                               FOR DUBLIN
-
-                             THE GOOD SHIP
-
-                               TRISTRAM,
-
-                     _Gideon Crawford, Commander_.
-
-  Now lying at Mrs. Hayley’s Wharff, will sail in 10 or 12 days. For
-  Freight or Passage apply to the Master on board or to Joseph and
-  William Russell. She has good accommodations for Passengers.
-
-  PROVIDENCE, Jan. 14, 1786.
-
-Here again “passage” is advertised, it will be noted. Soon after a news
-item appeared in the _Gazette_, stating that “the ship _Tristram_,
-Captain Crawford, sails this day for Dublin.” It appears that the
-_Tristram_ made many voyages to and from Ireland. On April 26, 1788,
-over two years after the trip just mentioned, the _Gazette_ had the
-following budget of marine news:
-
-  The ship Tristram, Capt. Warner, of this port, is arrived at
-  Dublin.—The ship Mary, Capt. Rathbun, and Brig Little John, Capt.
-  Ambrose, of Newport, are also arrived at Dublin.—The Brig Recovery,
-  Capt. Taggart, of Newport, is arrived at Newry.
-
-In June, 1791, Joseph and William Russell of Providence had an
-assortment of Irish linens “Just imported in the ship _Tristram_ from
-Dublin.” The _Gazette_, under date of Providence, April 13, 1776, says:
-“Capt. Cook, from Belfast, informs that recruiting parties had been
-beating up there from September till January to reinforce the
-ministerial army in America, but they had only inlisted ten men.” This
-helps the reader to form a good idea as to the direction of Irish
-sympathies at that time.
-
-The quotations in the remainder of this chapter are from the Providence
-_Gazette_. A news paragraph, dated Newport, states that on “Monday last
-arrived here the ship _Mary_, Captain Ambrose, in fifty-nine days from
-Cork.” On February 14, 1789, under the head of Providence, we are told
-that “On Wednesday also arrived the brig _Happy Return_, Capt. Dring,
-from Dublin, Isle of May, and St. Eustatia.” The _Happy Return_ has
-frequent mention, sometimes as arriving from Dublin and again from other
-ports. But there came a time when she returned no more. The incident
-occurred in 1790, and is thus narrated: “The brig _Happy Return_, Capt.
-Dring, of this port (Providence), bound for Dublin, is lost near that
-port. The crew and a part of the cargo were saved.” In April, 1790, is
-chronicled the arrival at Dublin of the brig _Sally_, Captain Davis, of
-Providence, “after a short passage of twenty two days.” In November of
-the same year, the ship _Tristram_, Captain Warner, is again mentioned
-as having cleared for Dublin from Providence. Among the arrivals in the
-port of Providence in May, 1791, was the “ship _Tristram_, Warner,
-Dublin.” In November, 1791, the _Tristram_, commanded by Captain
-Holowell, departed from Providence for Newry. December 14, 1792, the
-brig _Betsy_ left Providence for Newry and in May of the next year, her
-arrival at Providence is noted “from Newry, which she left the 5th of
-March, having touched at the Cape de Verds.”
-
-In April, 1796, the brig _Lydia_, Capt. John Cook, arrived at Providence
-from Cork in forty-nine days. We find it recorded December 21, 1799,
-that “A ship from Cork put into Newport on Sunday evening last, and
-sailed next morning. She brought Cork papers to the 24th of October.”
-Elsewhere it is stated that earlier in that year the ship _Palmyra_,
-Captain Trotter, of Providence, for Hamburg, put into “the Cove of
-Cork.”
-
-The schooner _Mayflower_ left Providence for Dublin in February, 1801.
-In 1809, among the departures from the port of Providence was the “Ship
-_Neptune_, Staples, Ireland.” The same year it is stated that the “ship
-_Nancy_, of Rhode Island, 14 days from Richmond for Cork, was spoke July
-6, lat. 43:52.” In October, 1809, the brig _Orient_ arrived at New York
-“53 days from Dublin. Left there among others, ship _Nancy_, Capt.
-Noyes, just arrived from Providence.” These Rhode Island captains became
-great favorites in Irish ports. They were frequently entertained and
-were treated in a hospitable manner generally. In 1811, Capt. Peregrine
-Howland of Newport, died in Belfast. He was in his thirty-ninth year at
-the time, and his passing away caused much sorrow. The ship _Robert
-Burns_, Captain Coffin, arrived at Newport January 3, 1820, “in 39 days
-from Ireland.” The ship _George Washington_, of Providence, is noted as
-having arrived at Cork March 26, 1820, “from Madeira in 15 days.” She
-was commanded by Captain Allen. Under a Newport date of January 6, 1820,
-we find the following: “Arrived on Tuesday last, in distress, ship
-_William and Jane_, Brown, from N. York, with flaxseed, bound to
-Londonderry,—Sailed from N. York, Dec. 24, and next day the ship sprung
-a leak, which continued to increase, and was compelled to throw over
-part of the cargo, and put into this port.”
-
-It will thus be seen that flaxseed was exported to Ireland from this
-country. That is perhaps what Black & Stewart, Irish merchants of
-Providence, intended to do with the “2000 bushels of good and well
-clean’d flax seed” they advertised for in 1763.
-
-From facts here adduced it will be seen that for a great many years,
-until Irish manufacturing industries were crushed by English law,
-commercial relations existed between Ireland and Rhode Island. Irish
-goods and Irish passengers were landed on the wharves in Newport and
-Providence, while outgoing ships took goods and passengers for the old
-land. Too long have these facts been forgotten or ignored. But a new era
-has dawned and the sun of investigation will yet bring forth even
-greater and more interesting developments.

-
-                    IRISH SETTLERS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
-
-                 BY MICHAEL J. O’BRIEN, NEW YORK CITY.
-
-
-John Burns, a native of the city of Dublin, where he was born in 1730,
-was a prominent character in Pennsylvania history. He emigrated to
-Philadelphia when quite young. He prospered in business in that city,
-where we are told “he took a prominent part in all local and national
-questions, and was honored by his fellow-citizens with many positions of
-trust.” He was the first governor of Pennsylvania elected after the
-adoption of the federal constitution, and “retained in a high degree the
-respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens till his death.”
-
-One of the very earliest white settlers in Greene County was Thomas
-Hughes, who emigrated from Donegal with his wife, Bridget O’Neill, to
-Virginia. One of his descendants, Thomas Hughes, wrote the memoirs of
-his family in 1880, in which he said: “The motive that sent our first
-ancestor to this country from his native Irish home was of this
-character, _i. e._, a desire for religious freedom; he was a devout
-Catholic.” “Settling,” he continues, “in the valley of Virginia, in
-Loudoun County, before the year 1739, Thomas Hughes, son of Felime or
-Felix, and his wife, with his brother Felime or Felix, all from Inver,
-in Donegal, Ulster, first laid the foundations of his family in this
-country.”
-
-“Thomas Hughes was a noted hunter, and in one of his expeditions into
-the backwoods, which lasted for several months, he spent some time in
-what is now Greene County, Pennsylvania, the soil and general appearance
-of which pleased him so well that he determined to make his future home
-there. This he did in 1771, and was one of the very first white settlers
-in that country. He located where Carmichaelstown now stands, but
-several years afterwards exchanged farms with a party named Carmichael,
-and called his new place Jefferson, after his old county in Virginia.”
-
-His nephew, Felix Hughes, also settled in Pennsylvania, where he erected
-a fort or blockhouse as protection against the Indians and wild animals.
-It was a building of only one story and a half, of hewn logs and rough
-boards, and as an instance of the primitiveness of the period when this
-Irish pioneer settled in this locality, this building was looked upon as
-“an elegant house!” His wife’s name was Cinthia Kaighn (or Kane). In
-1780, he set out with others to Kentucky to look up lands, but the party
-was attacked by Indians while descending the Ohio and, after a narrow
-escape, Hughes returned to Greene County, where he spent the remainder
-of his days. He and his father were buried in Neill’s burying ground,
-near Carmichaelstown. Their descendants are still found in considerable
-numbers in Greene and Fayette counties, Pennsylvania.
-
-A prominent Irish Catholic who settled early on Sherman’s Creek, was
-Henry Gass. He and his brother erected log cabins on Indian lands in
-Perry County, but were dispossessed from there in 1750, when they
-located at Falling Springs.
-
-Patrick Gass, who was born in the latter place in 1771, and who is said
-to have been the first white man to make an overland trip to the
-Pacific, is presumed to have been a son of Henry Gass. The original
-name, of course, was Prendergast.
-
-Among the earlier Irish inhabitants of Carlisle is found the
-Prendergrass family, whose name is identified with almost all the larger
-settlements west of Carlisle. Kline’s _Carlisle Gazette_ of November 29,
-1797, gave an account of the death of the aged Philip Prendergrass,
-which occurred two weeks previously, in which it described him as “an
-old inhabitant of this borough.” The name is found on the “list of
-taxables” in 1762. He took part in the expedition of Kitanning, in 1756,
-to repulse the Indians. It was a member of this family, Garrett
-Prendergrass who, in February, 1770, purchased the ground now occupied
-by the city of Allegheny, from the Six Nations. The old Prendergrass
-homestead was near Hanover, and is still occupied by the family. It was
-built in the last century by an Irishman names Byrnes, who married into
-the family.
-
-Wing’s _History of Cumberland County_ mentions John and Charles McManus,
-as settlers in Carlisle in 1762, the latter as “one of the oldest, most
-progressive and successful business men in the community.”
-
-“The large and commodious dwelling he erected on East Street,” says
-Ganss, one of the historians of Carlisle, “still remains as a monument
-of post-colonial massiveness, spaciousness and solidity, with its marble
-slab conspicuously placed in the second story, bearing the date of its
-erection, 1797, and the name of its builder, and which gives evidence
-not only of enterprise and wealth, but cultured taste. Originally, he
-was proprietor of one of the largest distilleries in the county, and
-amassed a sufficient competence which permitted him to live, if not in
-luxury, at least in ease and comfort. After the death of Mrs. Mary
-McManus (born 1703, died 1809), the name becomes less prominent,
-although that of Charles is still found on the pew list of the Catholic
-Church as late as 1823. The descendants drifted to Mexico and
-Philadelphia. The former branch of the family, in the course of time,
-founded the prosperous and famed banking firm of McManus & Co., an
-institution of international reputation and the largest and most
-prominent in our sister republic. The Philadelphia family likewise,
-achieved more than ordinary success in life.”
-
-Here we have a conspicuous example of the class of men whom Ireland gave
-to America in her early days.
-
-John Frazer, who was born at Glassborough, County Monaghan, in 1709,
-left Ireland in 1735 and located in Philadelphia. In course of time
-he became a very wealthy man. He was a shipping merchant, owning
-several vessels engaged in the West Indian trade. He married Mary
-Smith, who was born in Cleary, County Monaghan. He died in
-Philadelphia in 1765. His son, Patrick Frazer, commanded a company
-of the Fourth Pennsylvania, a regiment under the command of Anthony
-Wayne. He became lieutenant-colonel of the Fifth Pennsylvania, and
-was brigadier-general of Pennsylvania militia. His grandson, Robert
-Frazer, was a distinguished lawyer at Thornbury, Pa.
-
-John McCord emigrated from Ireland in 1750, and settled in Sherman’s
-Valley, Pa. His father also located at Landisburg, Pa., about the same
-time, and on his farm a fort was erected for protection against the
-Redmen in the Indian war of 1755. It is still known as McCord’s Fort.
-
-David Milligan came from Ireland to Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, in
-1766. He and his two brothers, John and James, served in the Fifth
-Battalion of Cumberland Militia through the Revolutionary War. David was
-twice taken prisoner. All these were in active service up to 1778. Their
-brother, Thomas, and their mother, joined them from Ireland in 1785.
-
-Robert Guthrie, a name Anglicized from McGrath, was born in Derry;
-settled with his family in Lancaster County in 1744. His wife’s name was
-Brighid Dougherty, a native of Carndonagh, County Donegal. Their son was
-a lieutenant-colonel in Colonel Brodhead’s regiment through the
-Revolutionary War. He was in the expedition against the Six Nations, and
-with Harbison’s company of rangers in the border wars against the
-Indians. His great-grandson was mayor of Pittsburg in 1897.
-
-Roger Connor, a native of Cork, settled at Lancaster in 1740. He
-established a hat factory there and purchased lands in many parts of the
-province, principally in Lancaster, Carlisle and York. He had Irishmen
-in his employ, too, and in the Philadelphia _Mercury_ of November 24,
-1743, he advertised for “Patrick Dollard, a hatter by trade, aged about
-twenty years, a lusty, well-set fellow, etc.” Patrick was a redemptioner
-and had left the service of his countryman before his term had expired.
-It was Roger Connor who gave the land on which St. Mary’s Church, in
-Lancaster, was built. His name appears on the list of subscribers to the
-fund for the relief of the sufferers by the Boston massacre in the
-Revolution. He died at Lancaster in 1776.
-
-John and Charles Connor also settled in Lancaster about 1740, and are
-thought to have been kinsmen of Roger. In 1758, Charles went to
-Philadelphia and his name appears on the list of the early contributors
-to St. Mary’s Church. He died in 1775 and bequeathed his property to his
-nephew, Charles, son of Cornelius O’Connor, of Carrigtwohill, County
-Cork.
-
-Another family named Connor lived in Ashton Township, Chester County.
-Charles Connor died there in 1750.
-
-Thomas G. Connor, son of another Charles Connor, who was born at
-Philadelphia in 1786, is buried in Mount Vernon Cemetery, Philadelphia.
-His wife’s name was Martha Fitzgerald.
-
-Morgan Connor, or O’Connor, was one of the early settlers in
-Pennsylvania. In the _Pennsylvania Archives_, Vol. X, he is referred to
-as “among the first to enter the service of his country as lieutenant in
-Captain George Nagle’s company, in Colonel Thompson’s regiment.” After
-the campaign of 1775–’76 he was ordered south as a brigade major for
-Gen. John Armstrong. He served with credit down to the winter of 1779,
-and on his return in that year he became lieutenant-colonel of Hartley’s
-regiment and subsequently colonel of the Eleventh Regiment. He was lost
-at sea in 1780, on a voyage to the West Indies. According to Volume I,
-No. 47, Register of Wills Office, Philadelphia, letters of
-administration on O’Connor’s estate were granted to Dennis McCarthy, on
-September 8, 1780, when McCarthy, Bryan O’Hara and Patrick Byrne gave a
-bond in the sum of £3,000.
-
-In a pamphlet issued by Benjamin Franklin in 1744, entitled, _Plain
-Talk, or Serious Considerations on the Present State of the City of
-Philadelphia and Province of Pennsylvania_, appears a letter written in
-that year by Governor Morris of New Jersey, to Governor Clinton of New
-York, in which he said: “There are here a Popish chapel and numbers of
-Irish and Germans that are Papists, and I am told that should the French
-land 1,500 or 2,000 men, they would in that province soon get ten or
-twelve thousands together, which would in that case be not a little
-dangerous to these and neighboring colonies.”
-
-Edward McGuire, who belonged to the staff of General McGuire in Austria,
-came to Philadelphia in 1751, with wines, in which he had invested his
-patrimony. He was the son of Constantine McGuire and Julia MacEllengot
-of the County of Kerry. He established himself in business in
-Philadelphia, but subsequently went to Alexandria, Va., thence to
-Winchester in 1753, where he built a hotel and gave the ground for and
-built the Catholic Church at Winchester in 1790. He died in 1806. His
-descendants were lawyers, doctors and ministers, some of whom married
-into the best old Virginia families.
-
-Acrelius, in his _History of New Sweden_ (as Pennsylvania was sometimes
-called prior to the English settlement), writing of 1758, said: “Forty
-years back our people scarcely knew what a school was. In the later
-times there have come over from Ireland some Presbyterians and some
-Roman Catholics, who commenced with school keeping, but as soon as they
-saw better openings they gave that up.”
-
-Among the early Philadelphia schoolmasters, the following advertised in
-the _Mercury_: Charles Phipps, “from Dublin,” in 1729, and James Conway,
-on July 17, 1729. George Brownwell also advertised his school in the
-same year. The schoolroom later became a dancing academy, and was opened
-by “Theobald Hacket, dancing master, lately come from England and
-Ireland.” Alexander Butler advertised his school on November 12, 1741.
-On June 21, 1790, John Reilly opened a school at Columbia, and in the
-following year his scholars were taken by Francis Dunlevy, who taught
-the higher branches. This was continued until 1793, when Reilly gave the
-entire school to Dunlevy and opened another school at Mill Creek. It is
-stated in the _Magazine of Western History_ for February, 1888, that
-this was the first school in the American settlements of the Ohio.
-
-Many of these Irish schoolmasters are mentioned in Wickersham’s _History
-of Education in Pennsylvania_.
-
-An Irish schoolmaster taught school at Chester in 1741. Rev. Mr.
-Backhouse of that borough, wrote the London Society for Propagation of
-the Gospel, that the Quakers had “set up another schoolmaster, one of
-their own sort truly, but a native Irish bigoted Papist, in opposition
-to one Charles Fortesque.” The name of this Irish schoolmaster is not
-mentioned.
-
-John Conly taught “an advanced school” at Byberry, Philadelphia County,
-before the Revolutionary War.
-
-John Downey, who was among the first settlers of Harrisburg, according
-to Wickersham, taught school at Harrisburg for a number of years. He was
-also a justice of the peace, town clerk and member of the Assembly. In
-1796, he presented Governor Mifflin a plan for a state system of
-education, “in which he discussed the whole subject of education,
-showing a wonderful sense of its importance in a government like ours
-and a clear conception of the nature of the system necessary to make it
-general.”
-
-On May 15, 1767, Miss Mary McAllister advertised in the Philadelphia
-papers to open a boarding school for young ladies in that city. “Hers
-was the first school of the kind in Philadelphia” (Wickersham).
-
-Thomas Neill was a schoolmaster in the Wyoming Valley before the
-massacre of 1778. He is described as “an Irishman of middle age,
-learned, a Catholic, a Free Mason, fond of dress, remarkable for his
-fine flow of spirits and pleasing manners, a bachelor and a
-schoolmaster.” He lost his life in the massacre of Wyoming.
-
-In 1790, a number of Catholics from Maryland settled in Cambria County,
-Pennsylvania. “A school was opened there,” says Wickersham, “under the
-direction of a schoolmaster named O’Connor.”
-
-Wickersham also states that the pioneer settler of northern Cambria
-County was a Captain Maguire. Other settlers who followed him from
-Maryland in 1790 were named Kaylor, Burns, McDale and Carroll, the
-descendants of the latter having been the founders of the present town
-of Carrolltown. The second white child born in that section is said to
-have been Michael Maguire. The number of places in Cambria County which
-bear Irish names indicate the extent of these Irish settlements. For
-instance, Driscoll, Carrolltown, Kaylor, Dale, Dougherty, Sheridan,
-Condon and Patton, called after the settlers, and Dysart and Munster,
-called after Irish places. Immediately to the north of Cambria, in
-Clearfield County, there are places names Mahaffey, McGee, McCartney,
-McCauley, Welshdale, Moran, Curryrun, Mitchel, Shawville, Barrett and
-Donegal, and in the other counties surrounding Cambria, are places
-called Tyrone, Armagh, Avonmore, McKee, Curryville, Kelley, Fleming,
-Connor, Daley, Downey, Lavansville, and so on.
-
-James Nowlins taught school at Mauch Chunk. According to Wickersham, he
-was one of the first white men who located at that place.
-
-“Paddy” Doyle taught school at Phœnixville. He is mentioned in
-Pennypacker’s _Annals of Phœnixville_. A description of him says “his
-nationality was revealed by a very decided brogue.”
-
-Robert Williams, an Irishman, was a teacher at Greensburg.
-
-John Sharpless conducted an academy on Second Street, Philadelphia, in
-1791.
-
-Rev. S. Magaw opened an academy on Spruce Street in 1800.
-
-Philip Garrett and two other teachers opened a night school at
-Philadelphia in 1799, and their advertisement stated it was “for poor
-children and would do the teaching themselves.” Two years later their
-effort was organized into the “Philadelphia Society for the
-Establishment and Support of Charity Schools.”
-
-In the settlement of New Londonderry, Chester County, Samuel Blair, an
-Irishman, established a school in 1740. This settlement was founded
-fourteen years before by immigrants from Derry and Donegal. Blair is
-described in Pennsylvania history as “one of the most able, learned,
-pious, excellent and venerable men of his day.” His academy was called
-“the school of the prophets,” and “from it there came forth many
-distinguished men who did honor to their instructor and their country.”
-
-One of the most eminent educators in the province was Dr. Samuel Finley,
-who arrived from Ireland in 1734 and located in Pennsylvania, where he
-taught school. In 1744 he founded an academy at Nottingham, Md., where
-some of the most distinguished men in the country laid the foundation of
-their education and usefulness. Among his many scholars were such men as
-Governor Martin of North Carolina, the famous Benjamin Rush of
-Philadelphia, his brother, Judge Rush, Governor Henry of Maryland, and
-Doctor McWhorter of New Jersey. It is said “there were no better
-classical scholars formed anywhere in the county” than in this school.
-In 1761, Doctor Finley was appointed president of Princeton College. He
-died in 1766.
-
-Dr. Francis Alison, of Donegal, came to Pennsylvania in 1735, and
-settled at New London, Chester County, where he opened a school. At the
-time of its establishment there was a great want of learning in the
-Middle Colonies, and Doctor Alison is said to have instructed all who
-came to him “without fee or reward.” A Dr. Patrick Allison, who was born
-in Lancaster County in 1740, is thought to have been a relative of the
-Donegal schoolmaster. He held a place “in the very first rank of the
-American clergy, and had scarcely an equal for his eloquence.”
-
-The father of John W. Geary, governor of Pennsylvania from 1867 to 1873,
-was an Irishman who had settled early in Franklin County. He became an
-iron manufacturer, but having failed in business and lost his entire
-investment in the mines, he opened a select school in Westmoreland
-County, to which he devoted the remaining years of his life. His son,
-General Geary, commanded a Pennsylvania regiment in the Mexican War, and
-was commissioned governor of Kansas in 1856. He fought in the War of the
-Rebellion and distinguished himself for his bravery at Gettysburg. “His
-name will forever be associated with the great events of the brilliant
-Chattanooga campaign.” While in the command at Lookout Mountain, his
-son, Capt. Edward Geary, a youth of eighteen, was killed by his side.
-
-William Powers, who was elected a member of the Hibernian Society of
-Philadelphia in 1790, is referred to in Campbell’s history of that
-society as “a teacher in the university.”
-
-Benjamin Workman, who also joined in the same year, is described as a
-teacher of mathematics. He advertised in the _Freeman’s Journal_ on June
-28, 1786, as “from the University of Pennsylvania.”
-
-Rev. S. B. Wylie, a native of Moylarg, County Antrim, was a teacher in a
-private academy at Philadelphia in 1797, in which year he fled from the
-wrath of the British government. He was an early member of the Society
-of United Irishmen in Belfast. He became professor of languages in the
-University of Pennsylvania and was vice-provost of that institution. He
-joined the Hibernian Society in 1811.
-
-William Findlay, who was born in Ireland in 1750, came to Pennsylvania
-in August, 1763, and taught school in Westmoreland County for several
-years after his arrival. He was elected to the state Legislature from
-Westmoreland County, and was a member of Congress from 1791 to 1799, and
-again from 1803 to 1817. He was a prominent writer and pamphleteer on
-subjects devoted to the public welfare. He was a member of the Hibernian
-Society.
-
-Among the members of the Hibernian Society who were elected in 1790,
-Francis Donnelly, John Barry, John Heffernan and James Kidd are
-described as schoolmasters in Philadelphia.
-
-Patrick Farrall, who joined the Society in 1792, and who is described as
-“the first clerk in the office for settling accounts between the United
-States and individual states” after independence had been won, is
-thought to have been a Pennsylvania schoolmaster.
-
-Andrew Porter, a member of the Hibernian Society, opened “an English and
-Mathematical School” in Philadelphia in 1767, in which he taught till
-1776, when he was appointed a captain of marines and ordered to the
-frigate _Effingham_. He was a son of Robert Porter, who emigrated from
-Derry to New Hampshire in 1720, and who afterwards removed to Montgomery
-County, Pa. He was transferred from the marine corps to the command of
-the Fourth Pennsylvania Artillery, which post he held until the close of
-the war. He fought in several battles of the Revolutionary War at the
-head of his gallant regiment, and is said to have been personally
-commended by Washington for his conduct at the battle of Germantown. He
-became general of Pennsylvania militia, and took a prominent part in all
-movements for the welfare of his native state. Gov. David R. Porter of
-Pennsylvania, Gov. Bryan Porter of Michigan, and James M. Porter,
-secretary of war under Tyler, were grandsons of the exile from Derry,
-Robert Porter.

-                  EARLY IRISH IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
-
-                     BY FRANCIS J. WARD, ST. LOUIS.
-
-
-In 1815 the population of St. Louis was 2,000. _Billon’s Annals_ for
-1817–’20 states: “The adult male population of that day was about 700.
-Of American birth 400, French and Spanish 150, and of foreign birth 150.
-Of these, fully two thirds, or about 100, were Irishmen, some fifteen or
-twenty European Frenchmen, about the same number English and Scotch, and
-some ten or twelve Germans.”
-
-The tax list for 1811 shows Auguste Chouteau as the largest taxpayer,
-the Irish-American firm, McKnight & Brady, second. The first directory
-of St. Louis (1821) contains 749 names. Of these but few are Germanic.
-As late as 1827 there were but twenty-seven German families here.
-
-In 1663 Marquis de Tracy was governor-general of all the French
-possessions in America, and another Franco-Irishman, Chevalier McCarthy,
-in 1751, was commandant of the French settlement of the Illinois
-territory, and in 1769 a native Gael, Alexander O’Reilly, had command
-under the Spanish.
-
-Peter Conley appears as a witness to Laclede’s will. Charles Gratiot was
-a member of the firm of David McCrae & Co., at Cahokia, from 1771 to
-1781. Among the earliest mortgages in St. Louis is that of Pierre
-Saffray to Joseph O’Neille. Mathew Kennedy, in 1771, executed a bond to
-Antoine Bernard, and in the will of Jan Louis Lambert, a merchant, who
-died here in 1771, is found memoranda of an indebtedness due Morrissey &
-Co. Both Kennedy and Morrissey were prominent merchants here long prior
-to this.
-
-When Patrick Henry, then governor of Virginia, determined to check the
-progress of the English on the Western frontier, he gave the command to
-the son of an Irishman, Gen. George Rogers Clark. Virginia was unable to
-furnish the money to equip Clark’s troops for the Illinois campaign, but
-an Irish merchant of New Orleans, Oliver Pollock, borrowed $70,000 from
-Count O’Reilly, once commandant of the Louisiana territory. What Morris
-did in the East Pollock did in the West for the American cause. To his
-financial aid the United States owes the success of Clark’s Illinois
-campaign. That Clark had many soldiers of Irish birth in his army is
-shown by a deposition taken at Kaskaskia, June 11, 1779, in which are
-the names of Andrew McDonald, Aaron Barrett, Patrick Shine, Andrew Coil
-and Tarrance Mooney.
-
-The first American who settled in St. Louis after Clark’s surprise of
-Kaskaskia, in 1778, was Philip Fine, son of Thomas Fine, an Irish
-settler in Virginia. He came in 1781. Kaskaskia was the settling place
-of many Irish in the early days, among them being Robert Morrison, an
-Irish merchant, who arrived in 1792.
-
-In 1800 occurred the murder of Adam Horne, on the Meramec. The
-commandant at Carondelet appointed as witnesses to the inventory John
-Cummings and John Donald, the witness to the order being Bartholomew
-Harrington.
-
-In 1803 Governor Delassus organized two companies of militia for the
-protection of New Madrid, and appointed Richard Waters, captain, and
-George K. Reagan, lieutenant of cavalry, and Robert McCoy, captain, and
-John Hart, ensign of infantry. William Sullivan obtained the first
-tavern license issued in the town after its transfer to the Americans,
-and was appointed by General Harrison constable and coroner, holding in
-the latter capacity the first inquest. In 1816, when Chouteau laid out
-the first addition to the town, Sullivan purchased a half block, on
-which he built a residence, where he died.
-
-Immediately after the transfer of the territory, Colonel Delassus
-addressed an official note to the new American officials commending,
-among others, the following officers who had served under him in the
-French service: James Mackay, commandant at St. Andrew, “an officer of
-knowledge, zealous and punctual”; also Mr. Mathew McKonel, Robert McKay,
-“a brave officer,” and Dr. Samuel Dorsey, surgeon of the fort.
-
-After the transfer came the descendants of Irish settlers of
-Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, the Carolinas and Tennessee, a sturdy,
-vigorous, independent and progressive race, to whom President Roosevelt,
-himself a descendant on the maternal side, pays tribute in his _Winning
-of the West_. The fathers of many of them took part in the Revolutionary
-War, others were those who were banished from Ireland through the same
-laws that forced Americans to rebel.
-
-Among the latter was Joseph Charless, a native of Westmeath, who sought
-his fellow refugees, Mathew Carey and William Duane, in Philadelphia. He
-worked as a compositor on Duane’s _Aurora_, and set up for Carey the
-first folio edition of the Bible printed in the United States. Shortly
-afterward he left for Kentucky, coming later with his printer’s outfit
-on mulebacks to St. Louis, where he began the publication of the first
-newspaper printed west of the Mississippi, the _Missouri Gazette_, in
-1808.
-
-In 1804 came John Mullanphy, the celebrated philanthropist. His third
-daughter, Jane, married Charles Chambers, son of John Chambers, a United
-Irishman, who, with Thomas Addis Emmet, Dr. William Macneven and
-thirteen others, after their release from a political prison, came to
-America, where they rose to distinction.
-
-James Rankin was the first sheriff of St. Louis under American rule, and
-the first grand jury contains some Irish names, and many transfers of
-real estate from early settlers are recorded this year, among them that
-of Manuel Lisa to Patrick Cullen and Joseph Bent. Eighteen hundred and
-four was the year when the old Fort Bellefontaine was selected for the
-establishment of Jefferson Barracks, which, after its abandonment, in
-1826, was left in charge of Capt. John Whistler, a native of Ireland,
-founder of Fort Dearborn, in 1803, now the city of Chicago, and
-grandfather of the famous American artist, James A. McNeil Whistler. He
-died in St. Louis in 1829.
-
-This year also saw the departure of Lewis and Clark to the Rocky
-Mountains, Clark being a brother to Gen. Rogers Clark. Among the party
-were George Shannon, who afterward became United States attorney for
-Missouri, and Patrick Gass.
-
-A remarkable Irishman came in 1805—Jeremiah Conners. In 1818 he was the
-owner of the 40–arpent lots, on which he laid out Washington Avenue.
-Part of his property he donated to Bishop Dubourg, in 1820, for founding
-St. Louis University, the first of its kind in St. Louis. At his house
-was organized the first Irish society established in the city, in 1818.
-
-William Christy, whose people came from County Down, was also a famous
-man. He laid out the whole section known as North St. Louis. Another
-large Irish landholder was Patrick McMasters Dillon, who, previous to
-leaving Ireland, was involved in the Emmet rising. He laid out several
-additions to the city on lands he purchased, his last being “Dillon’s
-Fourth Addition,” in 1840, on a tract purchased from Fred Dent,
-father-in-law of President Grant. One of his daughters, Martha N.,
-married the celebrated Capt. James B. Eads.
-
-Among other large purchasers of real estate in the early years occur the
-names of James Mackay, James Conway, Mathew Boyse, John Hogan, Hugh
-O’Neill and John Dougherty. A famous lawyer of this time was Col. Luke
-E. Lawless, a native of Dublin, who came in 1816, and who, after the
-resignation of Judge William C. Carr from the Circuit Court, succeeded
-him. Still another was Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. He became judge of the
-Circuit Court. One of the family married John Patten Emmet, youngest son
-of Thomas Addis Emmet, who was appointed professor of chemistry in the
-University of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson, the son of the union being
-the celebrated Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet of New York. Another legal
-luminary was Hamilton Rowan Gamble, whose people came from Belfast. In
-1861 he was chosen provisional governor of the state.
-
-In the first House of Representatives of the territory, S. McGrady
-represented Ste. Genevieve. In the legislative council occurs the name
-of James Flaugherty. William Neeley became president of the council. The
-first state Legislature met in the Missouri Hotel, built by Thomas
-Brady, a famous Irishman of his day.
-
-Col. John O’Fallon, son of Dr. James O’Fallon, native of County
-Roscommon, surgeon under Washington, came in 1811, and resided with his
-uncle, General Clark. The name has become so identified with the history
-of the city as to need no mention. Francis Redford opened, in 1804, the
-first school for instruction in English. The honor of giving the grounds
-for its first seat of learning belongs to a native of the Emerald Isle.
-The proud distinction of being called the “Father of the University of
-Missouri” belongs to a man whose ancestors came from the County Tyrone,
-Dr. James Rollins.
-
-The first bank, the Bank of St. Louis, organized in 1813, had as one of
-its commissioners Thomas Brady, and the second, the Bank of Missouri,
-had among its directors John McKnight and Mathew Kerr, and the Bank of
-the State of Missouri, organized in 1837, had among its directors Hugh
-O’Neill, Edward Walsh, Edward Dobyns and John O’Fallon. A branch of the
-United States Bank was started in 1819, with John O’Fallon as president.
-
-The Merchants’ Exchange began as a debating Society, in 1836, with
-Edward Tracy as president and John Ford as secretary. The Millers’
-Association, the first of its kind in the West, was established in 1849,
-among the members being John Walsh. Financial exchanges need telegraphic
-connections, so along came a Leitrim man, Henry O’Reilly, in 1847, who
-opened here the first telegraph office west of the Mississippi.
-
-In military life the men of the “Fighting Race” were to the fore. The
-St. Louis Grays, the first volunteer organization, started in 1832, had
-for its ensign John P. Riley, but a volunteer company of light infantry
-preceded it in 1819, having for its captain Henry W. Conway. Other
-companies were added to the Grays in 1842, forming the First Regiment,
-St. Louis Legion, among the designations of the companies being
-“Montgomery Guards,” with Patrick Gorman, captain; “St. Louis Guards,”
-Daniel Byrne, captain; “Mound City Guards,” John H. Barrett, captain;
-“Morgan Riflemen,” Henry J. McKillop, captain.
-
-In this review of the “pioneer” Irish in St. Louis, many names
-necessarily are omitted. Sufficient to mention men of worth in their
-day, such as John C. Sullivan, collector, in 1814; Judge Thomas McGuire,
-1817; Captain McGunnegle, the Rankin Brothers, Hugh, Robert and David,
-who came hither from Ireland in 1819; Bernard Gillully, who was in
-partnership with Edward C. Cummings; James Clemens, Patrick Walsh,
-Richard K. Dowling, Thomas Hanley, Thomas M. Doherty, Mayor Ferguson,
-William Carr Lane, Bryan Mullanphy, and others.
-
-Such men, indeed, were the “cream of St. Louis society” in the early
-part of the nineteenth century.
-
-We hear much of the part played by the Irish in the creation and
-maintenance of the American republic in the military sense, but what
-they have contributed towards its civil, commercial, manufacturing or
-educational development is much overlooked and remains unknown to
-readers of the present day.

-                  CONCERNING “THOMAS THE IRISHMAN.”[5]
-
-     Editorial in the _Irish-American_, New York, October 14, 1905.
-
-
-Footnote 5:
-
-  On page 121, Vol. V, Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society:
-  “Thomas the Irishman” is mentioned as in the Dutch records of New
-  York. Thus, Hon. Peter Stuyvesant, Director-General of New Netherland,
-  writing to Capt. Martin Cregier, 1663, says: “Your letter by Thomas
-  the Irishman has just been received.” ... On August 5, 1663, Captain
-  Cregier writes in his journal: “Thomas the Irishman arrived here at
-  the Redoubt from the Manhatans.” On September 1, 1663, Captain Cregier
-  writes: “Thomas the Irishman and Claesje Hoorn arrived with their
-  yachts at the Kill from the Manhatan,” and on the 17th of the same
-  month the captain writes: “Thomas the Irishman arrived today.” The
-  foregoing references may be found in _Documents Relating to the
-  Colonial History of the State of New York_, edited by Fernow, Vol.
-  XIII, Albany, 1881.
-
-In the preparation for an exhaustive history of early New York Mr.
-Dingman Versteeg, archivist of the Holland Society, has been able to
-trace out many heretofore lacking details of the record of the Irishman
-who was so prominent here in Governor Stuyvesant’s time.
-
-His name was Thomas Lewis, and he must have gone to Holland from Ireland
-some time previous to 1657. How long he remained there does not appear,
-but, in that year, he was sent from Amsterdam under contract to the
-Dutch West Indies Company as a carpenter to New Amsterdam, as this city
-(New York) was then called. His name was transformed in the records to
-Thomas Lodewicksen, a sort of Latin-Dutch combination.
-
-For three years after this he does not seem to have made much stir here,
-and then he appears as the captain of a bark plying between this city
-and Albany. A man of such standing in this community at that time was a
-real captain of industry and a citizen of substance.
-
-The favor and regard in which Lewis was held by Governor Stuyvesant is
-evidenced by the fact that his bark was used to transport troops in the
-Esopus war of 1663, and on it Stuyvesant made his headquarters, so
-dating a number of letters still extant.
-
-Lewis was married to a Dutch wife, Geesje Barents, a member of a
-prominent and well-known family in this city. He had several children.
-One of them, Thomas Lodewicksen, Jr., married Frances, daughter of the
-famous Jacob Leisler, head of the colony, which is another indication of
-his father’s social prominence.
-
-Lewis died here, on September 14, 1685, and his widow was named
-executrix of his will by Governor Dongan, April 1, 1686. There are many
-of his descendants among the various Lewis families scattered over this
-state, but few of them, perhaps, know that their ancestor was that
-“Thomas the Irishman” mentioned so frequently in the old Dutch records
-of Stuyvesant’s time.
-
-
-
-
-                     AN INTERESTING PIONEER FAMILY.
-
-
-James and Isaac Savage and their two sisters, came to America from
-Ireland. Afterward, about 1763, their father, James Savage, being then
-an aged man, came to this country to Newton, Mass., where the two
-daughters had settled. There he died and was buried.
-
-His sons, James and Isaac, settled at Woolwich, Me., where James was
-early killed by the Indians. Isaac married and had a large family. His
-wife’s name is not known. Among their children was a son, who settled at
-Wiscasset, Me., another son who settled at Woolwich and another son,
-James, who also settled at Wiscasset. James (3) married Mary Hilton, who
-was born at Berwick, Me., in 1721, and lived to be 100 years old. James
-and Mary had seventeen children. Order of birth is not known.
-
-They were as follows: Isaac, who married Deborah Soule; Abigail,
-married, June 13, 1765, Robert Lambert; Lydia, married, February 1,
-1776, Daniel Ring; Hannah, born 1745, married Thomas McFadden; James,
-married Annah Young; Ebenezer, born 1753, married Sarah Chase; Abraham,
-married, in 1783, Patience Young; John, married, in 1783, Susannah
-Tinkham or Pinkham; Jacob, born in 1759, married, in 1781, Hannah Gray;
-Mary, married, in 1795, John Card; Charles, married, in 1784, Margaret
-Corillard, and married, second, about 1785, Margaret Rose Lovejoy;
-Catherine, died April 24, 1800, unmarried; Edward, born 1776, married,
-June 6, 1790, Sarah Smith; Andrew, born 1769, married Tamson Tibbetts;
-Christiana, Daniel, Ann.

-                  EDWARD O’BRIEN’S SCHOOL DICTIONARY.
-
-
-An interesting historical paragraph recently contributed, states that in
-1798 Edward O’Brien printed in New Haven, Conn., his “School Dictionary:
-Being a compendium of the latest and most improved dictionaries,” which
-exists in two copies—the British Museum copy (perfect) and the Yale
-College Library copy (lacking ten pages). This was the first dictionary
-by an American author published in this country. It has no date, but is
-thought to have been issued towards the end of 1798. Its author, who
-taught school in Guilford, Conn., was born there March 10, 1757, and
-died there August 20, 1836. Soon after its publication its author and
-the Rev. John Elliott (1768–1824, great-great-grandson of John Elliott,
-the Indian apostle) prepared the second American dictionary, which was
-copyrighted in June, 1799, and published in January, 1800.

-                      A PATRIOT OF THE REVOLUTION.
-
-
-James Stevenson, a native of Ireland, was born in 1750 and was brought
-to this country when a child. During the Revolutionary War he served as
-a sergeant in Colonel Evans’ Pennsylvania regiment, was captured by the
-enemy and held for a year in the notorious British prison ships.
-
-After the war he married Hannah Bull, a daughter of Col. John Bull, of
-Chester County, Pa., a soldier of the Revolution. They removed to
-Lawrence County, Pa., Mr. Stevenson dying in Poland, Ohio, in 1834. He
-left many descendants and a society has been formed among them. It holds
-annual reunions.
-
-Among his descendants may be mentioned: John H. Stevenson, of Allegheny;
-Prof. William M. Stevenson, of Pittsburg; Rev. Frank B. Stevenson, of
-New Castle; Dr. Silas Stevenson; James A. Stevenson and E. S. Stevenson,
-of New Castle; T. D. Stevenson, of New Bedford, Pa.; Mrs. Rebecca
-Stevenson Neal, of Pulaski, Pa.; Capt. Thomas S. Calhoun, of Georgetown,
-Pa.; Thomas S. McCready, of Manchester, Kas.; Homer A. McCready, of
-Hancock County, W. Va.; Thomas W. Stevenson, of East Liverpool, O.;
-William E. Stevenson, of Hookstown, Pa., and W. H. Stevenson, of
-Hookstown.

-                   THE HALEYS OF THE ISLES OF SHOALS.
-
-
-Andrew Haley was of the Isles of Shoals. He was of Irish blood and had a
-son, Andrew, who married Elizabeth Scammon, of Kittery, Me., in 1697.
-Andrew Haley, Sr., early settled on the islands and eventually became
-styled “King of the Shoals.” He and his descendants seem to have long
-occupied that portion of the Shoals known as Haley’s Island. In the
-_Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society_, for 1800, is a
-paper descriptive of the Shoals, from which paper we extract the
-following: “The only secure harbour in these islands is Haley’s, which
-opens to the S. W., having Haley’s island S. E., Malaga N. W., a wall
-built by Mr. Haley, between 70 and 80 paces in length, on the N. E....
-At the close of the year 1800 there were on Haley’s island, three decent
-dwelling houses, occupied by Mr. Haley, an ingenious and respectable old
-gentleman of seventy-six, and his two sons, with their families. Mr.
-Haley has expended a handsome fortune in erecting the expensive wall
-before mentioned, wharves, and other useful works. Among these are a
-windmill, rope walk, 270 feet long; salt works erected before the war
-[Revolution], a bake house, brewery, distillery, built in 1783, and a
-blacksmith’s and cooper’s shop.”

-                    THE IMPORTATION OF IRISH BUTTER.
-
-
-Long before the Revolution, and long after that period, Irish pork and
-butter were imported to this country in great quantities. A Boston paper
-publishes the following letter, which was dated October 29, 1763, and
-sent from a leading firm in Boston to parties in Ireland: “This is to
-Desire you will as soon as possible & without Fail Ship us from Cork 250
-Barrels Best Irish Pork & 100 Firkins of good Irish Butter, the weight
-of each Barrell of Pork to be mark’d on the head, to be well Pack’d.
-This Article will be very Scarce & Dear here, that we must Depend upon
-your shipping it with the 100 Firkins of Butter [all] to be here in
-March if possible & if no oppor’y to this place Ship it to Halifax to
-the care of Benj. Gerrish Esqr. and as soon as the next May Butter is
-fit to ship we Desire you will then ship us 100 Firkins more of the best
-Rose May Butter. We rely on your care to have these articles of the best
-kind & purchased at the best Rates, which charge to our accott. We beg
-your attention to this that we may not by any means be disappointed, as
-we shall be in great want of it. We are with Respect, Gent., Your most

-                   THE DISTRICT KNOWN AS IRISH TRACT.
-
-
-A Moravian missionary who went from Pennsylvania to Georgia, in
-1743–’44, writes that while in the lower valley of Virginia: “I asked
-him (Joist Hite) for the way to Carolina. He told me of one which runs
-for 150 miles through Irish settlements, the district being known as
-Irish tract.”—(_Virginia Magazine of History and Biography_, October,

-
-                 TWO INTERESTING HISTORICAL FRAGMENTS.
-
-
-Barnabas Palmer, of Rochester, N. H., was born in Cork or Limerick,
-1725, emigrated from there with two brothers, and enlisted under Sir
-William Pepperill. Barnabas sailed from Portsmouth, N. H.,—one of the
-force of 3,000 men, 1745, and on the Isle of Cape Breton, under Fort
-Louisburg, left his right arm. Subsequently he settled in Rochester, N.
-H., married, had fourteen children, and was a member of the General
-Court of New Hampshire that ratified the Constitution of the United
-States. Here is another fragment of history: Lieutenant-General
-Pepperrell, in 1745, ordered Maj. John Stover to organize a company at
-Wells, Me., for the Louisburg expedition. The order was promptly carried
-out. Among the volunteers were Edward Welch, John Conaway, James
-Gillpatrick, John McDaniel, James Read, Michael Wilson and John Burks
-(Burke?). They sailed March 24, 1745, for Cape Breton. Some of the
-company died there. In the fall of 1745 most of the survivors returned
-to Wells.

-
-                   WORKMEN FIND AN INTERESTING COIN.
-
-
-Workmen who were digging in Congress Street [Boston] the other day found
-an interesting old coin which is said by experts to link the records of
-Boston currency nearly two centuries ago with a mintage controversy that
-stirred even the phlegmatic George III, and elicited some of the most
-famous witticisms of Dean Swift and dignified declarations of Sir Isaac
-Newton. It is about one third larger than an American quarter and has on
-the obverse side an idealized head of George III, in the center,
-surrounded with the words “Georgius Deo Gratia Rex.” Perhaps the
-intrinsic interest is in the reverse side, which has in the center a
-symbolic figure of Ireland, bearing a harp, and on the border is stamped
-“Hibernia—1723.” The first anomaly in this is that, although it was on
-its face an Irish coin, it was neither coined nor circulated in that
-country, but, owing to indignant protests of Irish dealers, crystallized
-by the sarcasms of that witty divine, Dean Swift, it was shipped over to
-Boston, where it circulated as the “colonial half-penny.” In the old
-country it was called the “Woods half-penny,” on account of its coinage
-by a Londoner of that name. This was the chief element of grievance, as
-Ireland was then approaching the time when the aspiration of a Grattan
-were to find realization, and Swift argued in his famous Drapier letters
-that the country should not have these foreign and false coins passed
-upon it.—(_Boston Transcript_, October 12, 1895.)

-
-                    DENNIS MACCARTY OF WARREN, R. I.
-
-                   BY MISS VIRGINIA BAKER, OF WARREN.
-
-
-Since I forwarded the data relating to Dennis and William Mackarty, I
-have again examined the probate records of this town, and have made the
-discovery that the will of Dennis Maccarty of Warren was probated
-November 7, 1757. As Dennis of Bristol did not die until 1760, it
-follows that there must have been living in Bristol County two men
-bearing the same name, both of whom served in the French wars.
-
-I enclose a copy of the will of Dennis of Warren. In 1757, Warren, as
-you know, included Barrington. You will notice that the legatees
-mentioned in the will were all Barrington men; therefore, I conclude
-that that Dennis resided in the west section of the town. Again, the
-testator mentions no kindred, while Dennis of Bristol had a wife and
-son. Here is the will mentioned:
-
-“In the Name of God Amen I Dennis Maccarty of Warren in the County of
-Bristol in the Colony of Rhode Island Labourer being engaged in the
-expedition against Crown Point; and not knowing what Shall befall me
-Being now of a Sound and Disposing mind; Thanks be to God; Do make this
-my last will and Testament in manner following; Principally and first of
-all I give my soul to the hands of God that gave it and my Body to the
-earth to be Decently Buried in a Christian manner hoping for a Blessed
-Resurrection thro the merits of Jesus our only Redeemer; and as to my
-worldly goods where with it hath Pleased God to Bless me I give the same
-in the following manner;
-
-“Item. My Will is that my Just Debts and Funeral Charges be Duly and
-Seasonably Paid by my executor.
-
-“Item. To my loving and well beloved Friend Peleg Richmond I give a Note
-of hand I have against him of one hundred and thirty-two pounds old
-tenor Rhode Island currency.
-
-“Item. To my loving and beloved friend John Roger Richmond I give all my
-wearing apparel.
-
-“Item. To my friend Mary Richmond Juner I give one hundred pounds. To
-her sister Elizabeth Richmond I give sixty pounds; and to Sarah Richmond
-I give forty pounds; all to be paid in old tenor Rhode Island.

-against him of Forty Pounds three Shillings old tenor.
-
-“Item. To my beloved friend Thomas Brown I give Thirty Pounds old tenor

-“To my Trusty and Beloved Friend Solomon Townsend of Warren, Clerk, whom
-I make executor of my last will and Testament I give and bequeath all
-the Remainder of my moneys, Bills, notes, Bonds, and wares that Shall
-Remain and become Due After the above Legacies are Paid. And I Do Ratify
-and confirm this to be my last will and testament. In Witness hereof I
-have Set my hand and Seal this Thirtieth Day of April in the Twenty
-ninth year of his majesties’ Reign Anno Domini Seventeen Hundred and

-
-                      THE VOYAGE OF THE SEAFLOWER.
-
-           From _The Recorder_ (I. A. H. S.), February, 1902.
-
-
-The sloop _Seaflower_ left Belfast, Ireland, July 10, 1741, bound for
-Philadelphia, in the province of Pennsylvania. She had 106 persons
-aboard, mainly emigrants.
-
-The _Seaflower_ was owned by Joseph Thompson of New Haven, Conn., and
-Capt. Ebenezer Clark, master of the sloop. Thompson owned three fourths
-and Clark the remainder. When about two weeks out, Captain Clark, the
-master, sickened and died and the mate was also taken ill.
-
-Thus began a reign of suffering, wretchedness and misery that has seldom
-been surpassed in the annals of ocean voyages. Some time after the
-master’s death the sloop sprung her mast and to add to the horrors of
-the voyage the supply of water and provisions began to run low.
-
-The accident to the mast, the sickness and other troubles greatly
-extended the voyage so that long before the American coast was sighted
-many of the ship’s company and passengers had perished of hunger.
-
-In order to sustain life the living were driven to feed on the dead. Six
-bodies had been thus consumed and the seventh was being cut up when the
-_Success_, man-of-war, came alongside and her captain supplied the
-well-nigh crazed survivors of the _Seaflower_ with provisions sufficient
-to bring them into port.
-
-Now to account for this fearful voyage: It is possible that the sloop
-was overcrowded on leaving Belfast; also that a miscalculation had been
-made as to the probable length of time that would be required for the
-voyage, this leading to an inadequate supply of water and provisions.
-The death of the master and the illness of the mate likewise had a
-decided tendency to complicate matters. When the food supply was at
-length exhausted, and the last drop of water gone, thirst was added to
-the horrors of hunger. With the vessel still many leagues from land, the
-awful sufferings of passengers and crew can be imagined, not described.
-
-Forty-six died on the passage.
-
-The _Seaflower_ cast anchor in Boston Harbor, October 31, sixteen weeks
-having elapsed since she sailed from Ireland. On the date mentioned,
-October 31, 1741, the selectmen of Boston convened in session, there
-being present: Captain Forsyth, Caleb Lyman, Jonas Clark, Mr. Hancock,
-Mr. Cook and Captain Steel. At this meeting was considered “The sloop
-_Seaflower_ this day arrived from Belfast, Ebenezer Clark, late master,
-with 65 passengrs on board....” The following minute was recorded, viz.,
-that
-
-“Whereas a Sloop from Ireland with a number of Passengers on board being
-arrived in this Harbour & apprehending danger may acrue to the
-Inhabitants by reason of the Hardships the People have Suffered in their
-Passage being obliged to eat some of their People to Sustain Life, Voted
-That the Select Men View the State of the Persons on board with Doct^r
-Clark & Report what Circumstances they are in....”
-
-The selectmen accordingly visited the afflicted survivors of the
-_Seaflower_ and found the facts as here outlined. So serious was the
-case, that the Selectmen again met on November 2 and decided to wait on
-the governor and council to acquaint them with the conditions and see
-what could be done. The same day, November 2, a meeting of the governor
-and council was held in the council chamber in Boston, the selectmen
-appeared, stated their case and sought advice.
-
-They declared that about thirty of the passengers were in “very low
-circumstances & not able of taking care of themselves, but require the
-speediest care to preserve life.” The selectmen prayed “that suitable
-provision may be made for them or else they must perish.” The governor
-and council accordingly
-
-Ordered that the selectmen secure the papers belonging to the owners and
-last master, with the goods aboard and dispose of the servants and
-passengers in hospital on Rainsford’s island, where they were to be
-supported and nursed. It was also ordered that the “owners of the said
-Sloop” be speedily advised of existing conditions and requested to come
-to Boston, “pay the Charges herein expended & take all further Care in
-the Premisses as shall be necessary.”
-
-The selectmen thereupon sent an express to Joseph Thompson, of New
-Haven, asking him to repair to Boston and take charge of the _Seaflower_
-and servants. They likewise directed the town clerk of Boston to write
-to Mr. Thompson. The selectmen also voted that Captain Forsyth and
-Captain Steel of their number be a committee to go aboard the sloop and
-take an account of the papers, etc., and secure them, Mr. Savell to see
-that the unfortunate people were supplied with all things necessary to
-their comfort until the vessel was taken to Rainsford’s island. Mr. Ball
-was directed to take the sloop there as soon as possible.
-
-On Tuesday morning, the vessel and passengers were taken over to the
-island “with the help of Capt. Tyng & his People who came in the long
-boat & other persons.” The passengers were all carried ashore and lodged
-in the hospital. Doctor Clark gave directions for the treatment of the
-patients, and men were put in charge of the vessel and the goods aboard.
-
-The selectmen met again on November 16. Mr. Thompson of New Haven
-appeared and stated that he owned three fourths of the sloop and that
-Ebenezer Clark, the deceased master, owned the rest. He asked that the
-vessel’s papers he delivered to him and this was done. Thompson and
-Captain Steel, the latter one of the selectmen, assumed all the charges
-incurred.
-
-The facts briefly stated herein have been obtained from the minutes of
-the selectmen of Boston as reproduced in printed form by the record
-commissioners of that city.

-
-                     THE STORY OF MISS FITZGERALD.
-
-   From _The Recorder_ (A. I. H. S.), Boston, Mass., December, 1901.
-
-
-Portsmouth, R. I., was settled in 1638. Nine years later it was the most
-populous town in the colony. Here Eleazar Slocum was born on the “25th
-day of the 10th month 1664.” He resided there until some twenty years of
-age when he removed to Dartmouth Township, now included in the city of
-New Bedford, Mass.
-
-In Dartmouth he wedded an Irish girl named Elephell Fitzgerald.
-Concerning her there are two theories. The first is that she was the
-daughter of an Irish earl and came to this country with her sister, who
-was eloping with an English officer. The second theory is that favored
-by Charles E. Slocum, M. D. Ph. D. In his _History of the Slocums_ he
-inclines to the belief that Miss Fitzgerald was one of those Irish
-maidens who were shipped to New England in Cromwell’s time or at later
-periods.
-
-There were doubtless large numbers of these Irish girls brought over.
-The majority of them were, without question, Roman Catholics. Frequently
-their fate was a hard and cruel one. Thebaud, in his _Irish Race in the
-Past and the Present_, writing on the subject says:
-
-“Such of them as were sent North were to be distributed among the
-‘saints’ of New England, to be esteemed by the said ‘saints’ as
-‘idolaters,’ ‘vipers,’ ‘young reprobates,’ just objects of ‘the wrath of
-God’; or, if appearing to fall in with their new and hard task-masters,
-to be greeted with words of dubious praise as ‘brands snatched from the
-burning,’ ‘vessels of reprobation,’ destined, perhaps, by a due
-initiation of the ‘saints’ to become ‘vessels of election,’ in the
-meantime to be unmercifully scourged with the ‘besom of righteousness,’
-at the slightest fault or mistake.”
-
-Some, however, met a better fate. Their lines fell in more fortunate
-places. In many cases they were kindly treated and, in time, married
-into the families of their recent masters. Some of them, too, reared
-large families of manly sons and womanly daughters and lived to a happy
-old age. Many of their descendants must exist today in high places.
-Perhaps some are not aware of their maternal Irish descent, while a few
-may be reluctant to acknowledge it if they are. Yet, many of these Irish
-girls were descended from the old nobility and clansmen whose names and
-fames had ranked with the most illustrious in Europe.
-
-Miss Fitzgerald’s marriage to Eleazar Slocum took place about 1687.
-Their children were Meribah, born in 1689; Mary, born 1691; Eleazar,
-born in 1693–’94; John, 1696–’97; Benjamin, 1699, and Joanna, 1702.
-There was also another child named Ebenezer. In 1699 the husband and
-father is recorded as giving £3 toward building a Quaker meeting house.
-His will was proved in 1727. It makes the following provisions
-concerning his wife:
-
-“Item—I give and bequeath Elephell, my beloved wife, the sum of twenty
-pounds [per] annum of Good and Lawful money of New England, to be paid
-Yearly and Every Year By my Execut^{rs} During her Naturall life—
-
-“Item—I give and bequeath to Elephell my beloved wife an Indian girl
-named Dorcas During the time she hath to Serve by Indenture—she
-fulfilling all articles on my behalf—
-
-“Item—I give and Bequeath to Elephell my beloved wife, The great low
-room of my Dwelling house with the two bedrooms belonging together with
-the Chamber over it and the Bedrooms belonging thereto, and the Garrett
-and also what part of the N^w Addition she shall Choose and one half of
-the cellar, During her Naturall life.
-
-“Item—I will that my executors procure and supply Elephell my wife with
-firewood sufficient During her Naturall life, And whatsoever Provisions
-and Corn shall be left after my Decease, I give to Elephell my wife for
-her support, and also the hay for Support of the Cattle. The above gifts
-and Bequests is all and what I intend for Elephell my wife instead of
-her thirds or Dowry.”
-
-To his son Eleazar he bequeathed the northerly part of the homestead
-farm, 100 acres, with house, barns, orchard, etc.; to son Ebenezer, the
-southerly part of the homestead farm “on which my dwelling house
-stands.” To Eleazar and Ebenezer he also gives other lands, and to

-His widow, Elephell (Fitzgerald) Slocum, made a will “the 19th day of
-the first month called March 1745–6.” It was proved October 4, 1748.
-Joanna, one of her daughters, married Daniel, son of John Weeden of
-Jamestown, R. I. A son of theirs was named Gideon Slocum Weeden.
-
-The late Esther B. Carpenter of Wakefield, R. I., author of a delightful
-volume of sketches entitled _South County Neighbors_, once alluded to
-Miss Fitzgerald in a note to the writer. Miss Carpenter said that she
-remembered to have heard her maternal grandmother say that she valued
-her Irish line of descent from Miss Fitzgerald above any other she could
-claim. This Irish connection had always been a common remark in the
-family. The grandmother in question had named one of her daughters Alice
-Joanna after her Irish ancestress, whose daughter Joanna had married a
-Weeden as already stated. Many of the Weeden, Slocum and other families
-now in Rhode Island trace descent back to Elephell, the gentle Irish
-girl. Descendants of Elephell (Fitzgerald) Slocum are found today in New
-Bedford, Mass. The writer recently conversed with one of them.

-            THE DEFENCE OF FORT STEPHENSON ON THE SANDUSKY.
-
-            By J. W. Faulkner, in the Cincinnati _Enquirer_.
-
-
-“We have determined to hold this place, and, by heavens, we can.” This
-was the closing sentence of a military despatch written on the night of
-July 29, 1813. It was penned in the commandant’s room of the rude
-stockade known as Fort Stephenson, on the Sandusky River.
-
-The writer was Maj. George Croghan, of the Seventeenth United States
-Infantry, a boy who had just attained his twenty-first year. It was
-addressed to Gen. William Henry Harrison, in command of the American
-forces in the Northwest. The reply of General Harrison to this
-remarkable despatch was an order removing Major Croghan from command and
-ordering him to report to headquarters under virtual arrest for
-disobedience.
-
-Young Croghan responded promptly, traversing a dangerous country. Face
-to face with his general he explained that it was not braggadocio that
-inspired the language of his message. When it was written it was
-expected that it would fall into the hands of the enemy, then boastfully
-advancing to the attack. With the warlike eloquence that came as
-heritage from his Irish ancestors, Major Croghan showed his general that
-it was too late to retreat from the fort, and that it was a necessary
-military maneuver to hold it pending the execution of other movements.
-His tongue won for him what every great soul desires—opportunity.
-Restored to command, he returned to the fort and won a victory that will
-forever live in the annals of the early republic.
-
-Not long ago the body of Major Croghan was interred at the base of the
-monument erected to the memory of the soldiers of Sandusky County. This
-imposing shaft marks the site of the old fort where the dead hero won
-his laurels and where the blow was struck that opened the way to
-ultimate victory over the British and Indian power in the northwestern
-country. Over his grave will stand as a silent witness the single cannon
-used in defense of the fort, an ancient six-pounder, which wears the
-affectionate feminine sobriquet of “Old Betsy.” It was a single belch
-from the iron jaws of this that decided the fate of the battle, and
-though inanimate, still it deserved a share of the glory that surrounded
-the interment of the gallant Croghan.
-
-Since that eventful day in August many great events have occurred to
-fill the pages of history. General Harrison became greater and filled
-the president’s chair. Around the base of the old fort a city has sprung
-up named after Gen. John C. Fremont, the Pathfinder. In Croghan’s day
-the little settlement was known as Lower Sandusky, to distinguish it
-from the city in Wyandot County known as Upper Sandusky. So powerful a
-pleader as Rutherford B. Hayes, then a practising attorney at the
-Sandusky County bar, and afterward president of the United States,
-pleaded that the old name be permitted to stand.
-
-There was pomp and ceremony to mark the final sepulture of the old
-commander’s dust in the ground that he hallowed with his victory, but no
-greater tribute could be paid to his soldier memory than to tell again
-the story of the battle. He came of fighting stock, this young American
-soldier. The blood of “Kelly, Burke and Shea” flowed in his veins and he
-smelled the battle from afar off. His father was William Croghan, an
-Irishman, born in Dublin in 1752, but who was well settled in this
-country when the War of the Revolution broke out. He fought at Monmouth,
-Brandywine and Germantown, and froze with the rest of the immortal band
-at Valley Forge.
-
-Joining in the drift from the Virginias across the mountains, he reached
-the settlement at the falls of the Ohio, where Louisville now stands. In
-1791 he married Lucy Clark, sister of George Rogers Clark, the mighty
-figure of the Vincennes campaign, who saved an empire to the American
-republic. Another brother, William, was the Clark who, with Captain
-Lewis, made the historic exploration tour across the then unknown
-continent. Of such a union was born the man whom a state and a nation
-afterward honored for bravery. The exact place of his birth was at
-Locust Grove, Ky., a few miles below Louisville. When but twenty years
-of age he gained distinction at the battle of Tippecanoe, and was
-promoted to a captaincy in March, 1812, being detailed as aide-de-camp
-to General Harrison, with the rank of major. This was his condition when
-the events that were to make him famous began to unfold themselves.
-
-The Indians, under Tecumseh, and the British, under General Proctor, had
-raised the siege of Fort Meigs, in what is now Wood County, and were
-coming toward the post at Upper Sandusky and Seneca. The British sailed
-around into Sandusky Bay, while their Indian allies marched across
-through the swamps and marshes of the Portage River. They expected to
-meet and make a combined attack upon Lower Sandusky while Harrison was
-engaged in protecting Forts Winchester and Meigs. The work known as Fort
-Stephenson was in reality an old stockade used for storage purposes, and
-inclosed an acre of ground.
-
-Examination by Harrison some days before the allies invested Fort Meigs
-showed that the stockade was commanded by a hill to the southeast. It
-was not strong enough to resist heavy artillery, and only 200 men could
-be accommodated as a garrison. Croghan was left in charge, with orders
-that if the British approached by water, which carried the presumption
-that if they had their heavy artillery, he was to retreat, if possible,
-destroying both the fort and the public stores. If only the Indians came
-he was to stand fast, as retreat through these wary hostiles was an
-impossibility and a defense was a certainty.
-
-On July 29 Harrison received word that the siege of Fort Meigs had been
-raised and that it seemed the intention of the allies to descend upon
-either Sandusky or Seneca. At a council of war held that night it was
-decided that Fort Stephenson was untenable and orders were sent to Major
-Croghan to carry out his original instructions. This order did not reach
-Croghan until the next morning at eleven o’clock. A council of his
-officers reached the decision that it was too late to retreat and the
-famous note was sent and the meeting with Harrison arranged. On August 1
-the advance guard of the enemy was seen on the hill over the river. They
-were the fleet-footed Indians who had been observed by a reconnoitering
-party from headquarters the day before. There was but one piece of
-artillery in the fort, “Old Betsey,” and it was promptly fired, causing
-the redskins to retire. Within a half hour the British gunboats, a part
-of Commodore Barclay’s fleet, hove into sight. A landing was effected a
-half mile below the fort and a howitzer disembarked and mounted.
-
-A British officer, Major Chambers, with a flag of truce, was sent
-forward and was met by Ensign Shipp, of the Seventeenth Regiment. The
-visitor demanded in the name of General Proctor the immediate surrender
-of the fort. The Americans were warned that it would be almost
-impossible to restrain the Indians in case of success, and that the
-whole garrison would be slain. The gallant answer was returned that the
-Indians would find no one to massacre when the fort fell, for every man
-had sworn to die before surrender.
-
-The battle then opened, the gunboats, the land battery, five hundred
-Wellington veterans and eight hundred Indians joining in the attack.
-Throughout the evening Croghan fired his six pounder in a desultory way,
-moving it from place to place to make it appear that he had more
-artillery. Ascertaining from the enemy’s fire that the northwestern
-angle of the fort was to be reached, he made preparation to checkmate
-his plans. During the night the gun was removed to a block house which
-commanded that angle and the embrasure was masked. The piece itself was
-loaded with grape and slugs. Croghan’s foresight was vindicated when the
-next day additional artillery was landed and the hammering of the doomed
-angle was renewed. The shaking wall was reinforced with bags of sand and
-even of flour, making it capable of resisting the pounding. On the
-evening of August 2 the grand assault was launched, Colonel Short
-leading the principal column.
-
-He rallied his men with great bravery under a destructive rifle fire and
-gained the ditch beneath the stockade walls. There he ordered his men to
-cut down the pickets and give the Americans no quarter. At the proper
-second of time the masked embrasure was thrown open and the slug-charged
-cannon was permitted to belch its death-dealing contents into the close
-packed mass of soldiers at short range. Few escaped this destructive
-fire. Colonel Short was killed.
-
-The second column, led by Major Chambers and Colonel Warburton, was also
-defeated by the line in charge of Captain Hunter. When night came the
-enemy withdrew in a disorderly fashion, leaving behind them one of their
-gunboats, some of the wounded, much ammunition and many guns. At nine
-o’clock the next morning, Major Croghan sent an express to Harrison
-announcing his victory and the retirement of the defeated enemy. The
-defenders of the fort lost only one killed and seven wounded of the 100
-men who answered roll call. Ten times that number opposed them, and
-2,000 more were in reserve near Fort Meigs to cut off any reinforcement
-from that direction.
-
-In his official report of the battle Harrison said: “It will not be
-among the least of Proctor’s mortifications that he has been baffled by
-a youth who has just passed his twenty-first year. He is, however, a
-hero worthy of his gallant uncle, Gen. George Rogers Clark.” The brevet
-rank of lieutenant-colonel was at once conferred upon the young hero by
-the president of the United States, and he was presented with a sword by
-the ladies of Chillicothe. Of this victory, Gen. W. T. Sherman, writing
-from the standpoint of a military expert, said: “The defense of Fort
-Stephenson by Croghan and his gallant little band was the necessary
-precursor to Perry’s victory on the lake and of Harrison’s triumphant
-victory on the Thames. These assured our immediate ancestors the mastery
-of the great West, and from that day to this the West has been the
-bulwark of the nation.”
-
-The following year saw him made a full lieutenant-colonel. He served
-with distinction until 1817, when he resigned and went to New Orleans to
-live. He was made postmaster of that city in 1824. Some years later he
-was appointed inspector general of the army, and in 1835 he was voted a
-gold medal by Congress in recognition of his fight of twenty-two years
-before.
-
-He died on January 8, 1849, while the guns were thundering their salutes
-in honor of another great victory, that of General Jackson, another
-Irishman’s son, over Packenham and the British below New Orleans in
-1814. His body was removed to the old family burying ground at Locust
-Grove and buried near that of his famous uncle, where they were found
-last June by Maj. Webb C. Hayes, acting for the Fremont Chapter of the
-Daughters of the American Revolution, which is named after Major
-Croghan.
-
-They were removed to Fremont on June 10, and were placed temporarily in
-the vault at Oakwood Cemetery. The pall-bearers were five venerable
-survivors of the Mexican War who had enlisted in Sandusky County. The
-youngest was seventy-seven years of age and the oldest eighty-five. As
-Croghan was inspector-general of the army during the Mexican War, they
-can be said to have served under him. The dead hero left three children.
-His only son, St. George Croghan, died on the field early in the Civil
-War, wearing the gray of the Confederate army. A grandson, also George
-Croghan, survives, and there are other descendants on the distaff side.
-
-The Daughters of the American Revolution have erected on the British
-redoubt 250 yards northwest of Fort Stephenson a tablet commemorating
-the fact that it was there that the cannon from Commodore Barclay’s
-fleet thundered against Croghan’s walls. Exultingly the fact is
-proclaimed that Barclay was afterward wounded and his entire fleet,
-including the cannon which had been used against Fort Stephenson, was
-captured by Commodore Perry at the battle of Lake Erie in the following
-September.

-                     IRISH SETTLERS ON THE OPEQUAN.
-
-    Compiled from an Article by “Iveagh,” in the _Belfast_ (Ireland)
-                               _Witness_.
-
-
-The year 1718 marks an epoch in the history of America, because in that
-year a band of sturdy Ulster men turned their faces and fortunes towards
-the new world. This early and most important organized company of
-emigrants to leave Ireland in the eighteenth century sailed from Lough
-Foyle in the year above named, and consisted of about 100 families.
-(Marmion’s _Maritime Ports of Ireland_.) These people founded a colony
-in New Hampshire which became famous in the history of America. The
-emigrants were of as much importance to America as were those of
-Plymouth, and from them are descended equally if not more distinguished
-men.
-
-In 1727, 3,000 people sailed for the North American colonies from
-Belfast Lough. The following year, ships took 1,000 more, and in the
-next three years as many as 4,200. The tidings of the success of the New
-Hampshire colonists and of those who preceded them to other parts of
-America, drew between the years 1720 and 1742 over 3,000 emigrants
-annually from Ulster alone. (Gordon’s _History of Ireland_.) This
-enormous emigration, for the period, was stimulated by the rich
-resources and grand opportunities offered in a new country on the one
-hand, and on the other by the land laws and the restrictions placed on
-Irish industries.
-
-In 1736 a number of families emigrated from Banbridge, County Down, and
-neighborhood; amongst them were members of the Glass, MacDowell, Magill,
-Mulholland, Linn and other families. These people settled in the
-Shenandoah Valley on the banks of the Opequan, Virginia.
-
-In the beautiful valley of Shenandoah, three miles south of Winchester,
-Va., you will find the ruins of the old Opequan Presbyterian Church,
-destroyed in the Civil War. From the Donegal (Pennsylvania) Presbytery,
-as early as 1736, the Presbyterian settlers received attention, as they
-were visited by missionaries and ministers from that Presbytery, making
-it the earliest preaching place in the valley. The first pastor was John
-Hodge, who may justly be esteemed the founder of the church, as he gave
-five acres of land for the church site and graveyard. Mr. Hodge, with
-many of his large family, are buried there, as well as Samuel Glass, the
-emigrant from Banbridge.
-
-Samuel Glass, the leader of the Banbridge emigrants, took up his
-residence at the head spring of the Opequan, after many wanderings
-through the then almost pathless woods, naming the homestead Greenwood,
-from the grand old forest which covered for the most part the 16,000
-acres of land which he had purchased. His son David settled lower down
-the river, at a place named Cherry Mead, and Robert, another son, took
-up his abode at Long Meadows. James Vance, a son-in-law of Samuel Glass,
-resided in the same neighborhood. Another son-in-law named Becket, lived
-between the Glass estate and North Mountain.—(Foot’s _Sketches of
-Virginia_, second edition.) Samuel Glass died at an advanced age,
-honored and respected by all the settlers over a large portion of the
-state; he had centered in his person many good characteristics—courage,
-thrift, perseverance. In the cemetery, near the old homestead, stands a
-monument to Samuel Glass and his wife, erected by his descendants. It is
-an obelisk, executed in limestone, standing on a pedestal, in all over
-ten feet in height. On the south side is inscribed:

-
-Samuel Glass had six children: John, Eliza, Sarah, David, Robert and
-Joseph—all born at Banbridge. Joseph Glass, the son of Samuel Glass, had
-twelve children: Mary, Samuel, Robert, Georgetta, Sarah, Elizabeth,
-Joseph, Martha, Ruth, David, Nancy, and Sophia. Joseph Glass, son of
-Joseph, son of Samuel, the emigrant, entered the ministry of the
-Presbyterian Church. He was much esteemed, and widely known as an
-eloquent preacher. Other members of the family also distinguished
-themselves.
-
-William Linn, son of one of these settlers, was born at Banbridge and
-served under Lord Dunmore, Governor of Virginia, in the wars with the
-Indians. In the several encounters which took place he distinguished
-himself, and was rewarded with a commission as lieutenant. Soon after
-the breaking out of hostilities with the mother country, Linn joined the
-First Virginia Regiment with the rank of lieutenant.
-
-An expedition was organized with the object of securing ammunition from
-the Spanish authorities at New Orleans. Capt. George Gibson, an
-Ulsterman, was entrusted with the leadership of the party, and attended
-by Lieutenant Linn, with a detachment of their company, descended the
-river Ohio from Fort Pitt on the 19th of May, 1776, reaching New Orleans
-on the 22d of September, after a succession of adventures that, in
-narrative, more resemble romance than the features of sober truth. The
-shores of the Ohio were lined with hostile Indians, and no white man
-before had attempted the voyage. Captain Gibson having accomplished his
-mission, and being secretly released from prison, in which he had been
-confined to remove the suspicion of the British residents, placed
-Lieutenant Linn in command.
-
-Captain Gibson took ship from New Orleans, taking with him the powder
-for service on the seaboard, and in due course landed at Philadelphia,
-and from thence proceeded to Virginia. Linn’s party, with a total
-strength of forty-three men, arrived at Wheeling in the spring of 1777,
-with the barges containing the supply of powder for the western posts.
-The party suffered many hardships and ran considerable risk from the
-Indians. For this important and arduous service Gibson was raised to the
-rank of major and Linn to that of captain. In 1780 we find Linn a
-colonel commanding a battalion at the battle of Pigua or Chillicothe, in
-which action he distinguished himself with bravery, his battalion having
-borne the brunt of the battle, losing many of its men. Colonel Linn
-continued to serve the revolted colonies after they had achieved their
-independence. He was ordered to the West to assist in the campaign
-against the Northwest Indians, and was killed in attempting to reach a
-secret rendezvous at a place called No-Linn-Hill, in Kentucky—a name
-acquired from the first exclamation of surprise by a party of his men
-not finding him at the spot.

-                 IRISH PIONEERS IN BOSTON AND VICINITY.
-
-               BY HON. JOHN C. LINEHAN,[6] CONCORD, N. H.
-
-
-Footnote 6:
-
-  Died in September, 1905. He was a founder of the Society and its first
-  treasurer-general. This paper was the opening one of a series
-  contributed by him to the Boston _Pilot_, in 1890, and bearing the
-  general title of “How the Irish Came as Builders of the Nation.”
-
-“The Massachusetts Bay” was, of all the original thirteen colonies, the
-most hostile towards the Irish, and it made but little difference with
-the Puritans whether the former were Catholic or Presbyterian, all fared
-alike, and were looked upon as people neither to be encouraged nor
-tolerated.
-
-However, they continued to come in, despite this dislike, in one
-capacity or another, and one—Captain Patrick—appears in the records of
-1632. Florence McCarthy was a resident of Boston in 1686. He was a
-butcher by occupation, and one of the founders of the first Episcopal
-Church in the town.
-
-Esther MacCarty’s name is signed to an indenture, as a witness, about
-the same period. According to Palfrey, New England, up to the beginning
-of the great Irish emigration, was more unmixed in blood than any county
-in England. While this may seem true of Massachusetts, it will hardly
-apply to New Hampshire, and will not stand investigation in the Bay
-State, for according to the same authority, 400 or 500 Scotch were
-transported by Cromwell to Massachusetts in 1651, and thirty-four years
-later 150 families of French Huguenots came, followed in 1719, by 120
-families of Irish, mainly from the North of Ireland. To these mentioned
-by Palfrey must be added, on the authority of Drake, 200 families of the
-unfortunate Acadians sent to Massachusetts about 1750.
-
-No mention is made at all of the thousands sold into a kind of slavery
-by Cromwell to New England and the West India Islands, from Ireland, and
-yet, between 1651 and 1655, on the authority of Prendergast, over 6,000
-boys and girls, mainly from the South of Ireland, were shipped to those
-two points.
-
-The addition of 400 or 500 Scotch, 150 families of French Huguenots and
-the unknown number of Irish arriving in Massachusetts in less than
-twenty-five years from the establishment of the colony of Massachusetts
-Bay, will justify a contradiction of this statement of Palfrey’s. The
-Acadians and the Irish are prolific, and in this respect could keep pace
-with their English neighbors, and a comparison of the well-known New
-England families of the past hundred years, with an equal number of
-families in any English county, will prove it, for names, as a rule, are
-the surest guides to nationalities, and scattered over New England, from
-the dates named, are families bearing well-known French and Gaelic
-names, many of them slightly changed, but enough left of the original to
-trace the transformation. When the War of the Revolution broke out, this
-mixture of English, Irish, Scotch and French blood was pretty well
-compounded, and it was not surprising that the men of the new American
-race humbled Britain, and brought her to her knees.
-
-Adams and Hancock, Sullivan and Knox, Stark and McClary, Revere and
-Bowdoin were, in New England, representatives of the nations mentioned,
-while the names of Washington and Jefferson, Moylan and Carroll, Mercer
-and Paul Jones, Laurens and Marion, showed that the same process was at
-work throughout the colonies.
-
-Many Americans, no matter whence they sprung, now mount the
-“Anglo-Saxon” hobby, which, like a circus steed, has been so well padded
-by writers of history that there is little danger of a dismount, and in
-order to be in harmony with the aristocratic trend of the age, a double
-hitch is provided by trotting out the “Scotch-Irish” nag as a running
-mate, a trifle bony, perhaps, and a little ungainly at first, but time,
-good feeding and careful grooming, will make a perfect match, for both
-are of the same stock-humbug—a princely origin, for in this age humbug
-is king, and its capital, unlimited, is wind.
-
-While Irish blankets and Kilkenny rugs were mercantile commodities in
-New Hampshire before King William of “glorious and immortal memory” had
-trigged the wheels, Irish butter was a most desirable article in Boston,
-as we find that John Hancock, among other goods advertised in his
-Faneuil Hall store, speaks of “Newcastle coal and Irish butter cheap for
-cash.” Cork from time immemorial being the great butter mart, it would
-not be at all surprising if some of the light-footed and light-hearted
-sons of that lively city came over with butter. McCarthy is one of the
-great Cork names, and in addition to Florence and Esther, named between
-1680 and 1760, Elizabeth, Thade, William and Calvin Maccarty are met
-quite frequently in the records of the town of Boston, all persons of
-means and holding responsible positions.
-
-Florence was town constable in 1693, and Thade Maccarty was elected to a
-similar position in 1673. For damage to her house, blown up to check a
-fire, Mrs. Elizabeth Maccarty was awarded the sum of $300 and Maccarty’s
-corner, on King Street, was a locality frequently mentioned. Florence
-was a man of consequence, and one of the leading men in his business.
-Leave was given him, in 1693, to build a slaughter house, and from the
-frequent mention made of him he must have been the John P. Squire of his
-day at the Hub. William Bryant was a servant of Capt. William Hudson in
-1679, doubtless one of Cromwell’s transports, many of whom were, by that
-date, scattered over New England, especially in what is now Maine and
-New Hampshire. Larry is quite common along the border, between the Pine
-Tree and Granite states, and the first met in history bear the
-distinctive given names of Cornelius, Dennis and Teige. O’Leary is a
-South of Ireland name, and the presence of persons bearing it so early
-in the colonies, substantiates what is stated by Prendergast in the
-_Cromwellian Settlement_.
-
-Eugene Linch (Lynch) came to Boston from Virginia in 1712. The name of
-Lynchburgh in the “Old Dominion” denoted the presence of this good old
-Galway name. Eugene found a wife in Beverly; and although bearing an
-aristocratic Norman name, he was not good enough to reside in Boston,
-being ordered to go to Beverly and stay with his wife. James Bettrell,
-“an Irish shoemaker,” had better luck, however, being allowed to remain,
-on giving bonds. James Barry was a noted huntsman in 1702, and was
-complained of for allowing his dogs to run loose. The town constable
-ordered him to shut them up.
-
-There is quite frequent mention of ships loaded with passengers from
-Ireland, bound for Pennsylvania or Virginia, putting into Boston, from
-stress of weather, want of provisions, or sickness among the people on
-board. Care was taken by the town authorities to prevent the landing of
-any of the passengers, and the records are full of such instances,
-between 1700 and 1800, and the town constables were at their wits’ ends
-to keep the unwelcome visitors out, for those who landed in other parts
-of the country came by land to Boston, attracted, no doubt, by the
-rising trade and manufactures of the future metropolis of New England.
-Of this class, undoubtedly, was Charles Conner, his wife and child, who
-came from Philadelphia in 1732, only to be ordered out of town at once—a
-fate many of his nationality had to suffer during this epoch.
-
-Drake, in his _Landmarks of Boston_, says: “About 1718 a number of
-colonists arrived from Londonderry, bringing with them the manufacture
-of linen and the implements used in Ireland. These emigrants also
-introduced the general use of their favorite vegetable, the potato.”
-
-They were not met with a warm welcome, however. So many were coming from
-Ireland, in 1718, that Dea. John Marian was ordered to appear before the
-courts and take such steps as he might deem proper to keep them away
-from the town of Boston, and in this respect the authorities were
-impartial. No distinction was made between the natives of Cork or
-Belfast, Londonderry or Limerick, the followers of the old faith or the
-new; all were treated alike; it was enough to know that they were Irish.
-But despite all the obstacles thrown in their way, they kept coming, and
-so fast that finally the town council resolved that some steps must be
-taken to register them, so in case any of them became a town charge,
-their nationality might be known.
-
-To that end all persons receiving or entertaining any of the Irish
-people were ordered to notify the authorities, on penalty of being fined
-twenty shillings for the first forty-eight hours and ten shillings for
-every twenty-four hours afterwards. Repeated warnings were given, but
-were as often disregarded. January, 1719, John Maccanis, wife and four
-children, were ordered to leave (John McGuinnis would be nearer the
-mark). Two shiploads, under command of Capt. Robert Holmes and a Captain
-Dennis, were refused permission to land, the same year. In September,
-1744, three Irish boys and sixteen Irish girls were captured by a French
-privateer and forwarded from Capt. Breton to Boston. Among them were
-James Connor, Thomas Bryan, Charles White, Mary Roberts, Mary Price,
-Sarah Agin, Mary Benson, Margaret Anderson, Sarah Hathay, Elizabeth
-Campbell, Mary Hammell, Eliza Fitzgerald, Sarah McMahon, Bridget
-McNamara, Eliza Dunster, Fanny Brady, Jenny Richardson, Kathleen Morris,
-Mary Derham. No doubt these poor waifs were looked after by the
-Charitable Irish Society, which was then instituted about seven years.
-The feeling against their nationality was gradually wearing away, and
-the settlements of their countrymen in New Hampshire were already
-furnishing the best fighting men against the French and Indians.
-
-As early as 1758, the Macs, with many other well-known Irish names, were
-taking a prominent place in the town records. McCarthy, McCarroll,
-McClane, MacCluer, McConnell, McCown, McCullum, McDaniel, McDonnell,
-McDonald, McElroy, McFadden, McFarland, McGowan, McIntire, McKeen,
-McKey, McKnight, McKenzie, McLean, McNeal, McPherson, McQuestion,
-Mooney, Montgomery, Moore, Murphy, Ryan, Powers, Welch, etc., were
-entered side by side with their English neighbors, so that there is no
-question that Boston had within its borders when the Revolution broke
-out, a large share of that stock,—the Irish—which made its influence
-felt during the struggle, and which furnished in the massacre one of the
-first victims, in the person of Patrick Carr.
-
-Besides Boston, there were few towns in New England where an Irishman
-could not be found between 1700 and 1800. In the contingent from
-Ipswich, Mass., in 1755, at Lake George, were John Fitzpatrick, William
-Connolly and Thomas Looney, and in the records of deaths in the town’s
-history is that of James Fitzgerald, who died in 1727. Americans bearing
-these names, some of them changed slightly, are found all over the
-country—Fitzes and Geralds, Patricks, and Connollys, the latter changed
-to Colony and Collony. The modern Fitzes discard any but a Norman
-origin, however, and the Patricks are, of course, “Scotch-Irish.”
-
-Jeremiah Smith, born in Ireland in 1705, came to Massachusetts in 1726,
-locating at Milton. He was accompanied by his wife. He was the first to
-raise potatoes in the town, and the first to manufacture paper in the
-colony, and perhaps in the country. A neighbor of his, a Mr. Babcock,
-having raised two bushels of potatoes from seed given him by Mr. Smith,
-came to the latter and told him he did not know what on earth to do with
-so many. Mr. Smith told him not to fret, he would buy them of him.
-Babcock said he did not know what to do with his Irish help; they did
-not understand raising American vegetables; he sent one of them out to
-get some green corn for dinner the other day, and he came back without
-any, saying that “he had dug up five or six hills, and the divil a
-kernel of corn could he find.” Smith told him that the Irish knew as
-much about raising corn as the Americans did about raising potatoes, and
-knew less how to use them. Smith was a member of the Presbyterian Church
-in Boston. He bears honorable mention in the town history, and was
-respected by all his fellow-townsmen. He died in 1790.
-
-John Sullivan was also interested in the manufacture of paper, in that
-section, between 1780 and 1790, and associated with him in the business
-were Patrick Connor and Michael McCarney. Others of Irish birth in the
-town at the same time, who were prominent in its affairs, were Peter
-O’Kelly, Hugh McLean, Peter McElroy and James McClary. That was quite a
-group of Irishmen in a suburb of Boston, and there was no question but
-that they were men of enterprise and push. O’Kelly, with his wife and
-six children, went to South Carolina in 1796. McCarney was one of a
-corporation, organized in 1798, the Mill Creek and Neponset River
-Company, for the manufacture of paper. Their mills were situated near
-where the chocolate manufactory of Walter Baker was afterwards located.
-McCleary’s name appears on the rolls of the Charitable Irish Society in
-1789. This is one of the names noted in New Hampshire’s military and
-civil history. Maj. Andrew McClary, of Stark’s regiment, was killed at
-Bunker Hill. He was one of the finest looking, as he was one of the
-bravest, men in the army, and his death was then looked upon as a great
-loss to the cause of Independence.
-
-Among those who went with a colony from the Massachusetts Bay to
-Delaware, in 1644, were John Nolin and his wife. The Swedes, who were
-already located there, looked upon the newcomers as interlopers, and
-made it very unpleasant for them. The result was the appointment of a
-commission to investigate the alleged outrage on the Massachusetts men.
-John Nolin was one of the principal witnesses, the Swedish governor
-having placed him in irons. Nolan was undoubtedly the correct way of
-spelling the name, and it would not be at all surprising if, like Darby
-Field of New Hampshire, he was one of the “Irish soldiers for
-discovery.”
-
-John Patrick of Barre, Mass., was a lieutenant in the company recruited
-in that town, at the outbreak of the Revolution. His father was an
-emigrant from Ireland, and the original name was Kilpatrick. His
-descendants are scattered through New England, and like all sprung from
-Gaelic stock, have been prolific. He died in 1807, aged sixty-eight.
-Gen. M. R. Patrick, provost marshal of the Army of the Potomac, and at
-his death superintendent of the Soldiers’ Home at Dayton, Ohio, was one
-of his descendants. In harmony with the usage of the day, the
-descendants of the lieutenant derive a “Scotch-Irish” ancestry for the
-founder of the family.
-
-Among the births recorded in Boston in the returns of births and
-baptisms, from 1630 to 1699, are Francis, son of Thaddeus and Eliza
-MacCarty, February 19, 1666; Thaddeus, son of the same parents, in
-September, 1670; Margaret, born February 25, 1676; Catherine, born
-January 23, 1679, of the same parents; Elizabeth, daughter of Florence
-and Elizabeth MacCarty, born December 25, 1687; Thomas, son of the same,
-born February 5, 1688 (evidently a mistake in dates); William, son of
-the same, born February 3, 1690. Mrs. Eliza MacCarty died July 6, 1696.
-Florence waited a little over a year before taking another partner, but
-not thinking it best to live alone, he married Sarah Newwork on August
-24, 1697. She presented him with another Sarah in 1698.
-
-The William MacCarty mentioned, became a noted shipmaster, and had the
-reputation of being a fine navigator. He was an enterprising man, fully
-up to the standard reached by his father and grandfather. The son, Rev.
-Thaddeus MacCarty, born in 1721, was a graduate of Harvard College and a
-minister in the Congregational Church. He was called to the pastorate of
-the first parish in Worcester, in 1746, where he remained thirty-seven
-years. He married a Welsh girl, and by her had fifteen children. He is
-described as being tall and slender, with dark eyes, sonorous voice and
-very pleasing address. He was a prolific writer, and like James Sullivan
-of another Munster family, one of the most scholarly men of his day; he
-died in 1784. His son, Thaddeus, born in 1747, was a noted medical
-practitioner. He first located in Dudley, then changed to Fitchburg,
-Mass., where he established a hospital for the treatment of smallpox by
-the Suttonian method. Here at one time he had 800 patients. He
-afterwards removed to Keene, N. H.
-
-Another son, William MacCarty, was quartermaster of Colonel Bigelow’s
-Fifteenth Massachusetts Regiment in the Revolutionary War. Thus, in
-Massachusetts, three of the best known South of Ireland families,
-O’Brien (in Maine), MacCarty and Sullivan, were represented before and
-during the Revolution; and it is pleasant to record that all were true
-to the cause of Independence.
-
-The Mackues had a representative in Timothy, son of Timothy and Ann
-Mackue, born October 20, 1699, probably one of the McCues or McHughes,
-all the same. Sarah, daughter of William and Olive McLoughlin, was born
-on October 29, 1689; and Eliza followed on September 10, 1691, who was
-joined by Mary, born on March 22, 1694. These undoubtedly are the
-ancestors of many McGloughlins, McLathlans, or Lafflins, as the fancy
-seized their descendants to alter the spelling, just as the name
-McCarthy became in time Maccarty, Maccartie, MacCarter, Carter or Carte,
-varied occasionally by Carty. On February 14, 1658, not a great many
-years after the founding of the colony, “James Webster a Scotishman &
-Mary Hay an Irish maid were married.” Mary was, no doubt, one of the
-poor girls torn from her home in Ireland, but hard as her lot was, she
-was fortunate in not being sent to the West Indies; but would it not be
-of interest to find, at the present time, the descendants of the Scotch
-laddie and the Irish lassie, the Websters of 1658?
-
-Another couple, married April 5, 1692, bear names that denote Irish
-blood—Andrew Rankins and Grace Butler. The ceremony was performed by
-Gov. Simon Bradstreet. Daniel, son of Dermin—probably Dermot—Mahoone,
-was born Oct. 4, 1646. The next child born to the couple, on August 29,
-1648, bore the well-known Irish name of Honour, and the name itself must
-have been Mahon, or Mahoney. Mrs. Mahone died November 8, 1656, and her
-husband, like his countryman, McCarty, did not remain single long, as
-another child, Margaret, was presented him on June 3, 1661, but it was
-after his death, which took place on April 2, 1661. His widow, Margaret,
-did not long grieve for him, for in the following July, 1661, the record
-reads, “Bryan Morfrey (Murphy) an Irishman & Margaret Mayhoone widow
-were married 20th July by John Endecott Governor.”
-
-The Murphys were on hand “airly,” and no doubt made their mark, but
-where are their descendants? Hannah, daughter of John and Ann Cogan, was
-born September 6, 1636. This may be one of the characteristic names of
-England, but is more common in Ireland, being carried there by Milo De
-Cogan, one of Strongbow’s Norman knights. John was born to Garrett and
-Mary Bourne, May 30, 1643. Both given and proper names have an Irish
-appearance. The first Kelly having the honor of being entered on the
-records of births was Daniel, son of David and Elizabeth Kelly, born
-December 18, 1647; like the Murphys, they were on hand early; and also
-like the Murphys, are of the undiluted old stock, Gaelic to the core.
-Today, on account of the prominence of the name, it is as American as it
-is Irish, and what is still better, the spelling remains the same in
-both countries.
-
-The first Butler, who heads the roll of a long line of descendants, and
-a representative of one of the most illustrious names on two continents,
-makes his bow in August, 1653, in the person of Benjamin, son of Stephen
-and Jane Butler. November, 1656, “Edmond Coussins of Pulling Point and
-Margaret Bird an Irish maid servant to John Grover of Rumney Marsh were
-married.” An Irish linnet to a French Huguenot, probably. Mary and John
-Bohanno, another Scotch laddie, and an Irish lass, were blessed with a
-little Mary on May 9, 1658. From these records it can be safely inferred
-that the exiles from Scotland and Ireland, the victims of Cromwell’s
-tyranny, were, in their persons, uniting the two branches of the old
-Gaelic race, as frequent mention is made of marriages between them.
-
-Bohanno was undoubtedly Bohan or Buchanan, both from the same root. John
-Morrell, an Irishman, and Lysbell Morrell, an Irishwoman, were married,
-August 31, 1659. March 15, 1661, John Reylean, an Irishman, and Margaret
-Brene, an Irishwoman, were married by John Endicott, Governor. John, son
-of John and Sarah Starkey, was born on September 23, 1666, abbreviated
-later on to Stark. Barry appears on the roll, January 8, 1688. James,
-son of James, being born on that date. Kenney does not appear until
-1691, when, on February 13, Moses and Margaret Kenny were blessed with
-the gift of a daughter. Like Butler and Kelly, this is not one of the
-most common names in America, as it is in Ireland—McKenna, Kenna, Kenny.
-Mulligan turns up in 1681, in the person of Robert, son of Hugh and
-Eleanor Mulligan, born on August 9. The Millikens and Mullikens can
-trace the stream and find the source, perhaps, here. Morrissey (spelled
-Morris and Morrisse) appears in 1655.
-
-Edward Morris and Dermon (Dermot) and Honora Morrisse are mentioned
-quite often—some of the transports, undoubtedly. Another of the exiles,
-or the child of one, was Johanna Heffernan who married Christopher Vale
-in 1692. Mary Lynch married James Townsend in 1693, and Henry Townsen
-wedded Mary Keefe the same year—two more “Scotch-Irish” unions if names
-are an index to nationality—and still another at the same time was that
-of Mary Peard to Samuel Swetman.
-
-The good old name of Hayes, in the persons of Thomas and his wife,
-Bridget, shows up July 25, 1690, when unto them a child was born, named
-Eliza. This is like some other names mentioned, found now all over the
-country; in this case, Bridget must be the Eve of the modern Garden of
-Eden—the Hub—at least so far as the Hayes’ are concerned, for she was
-the first of the tribe in the Trimountain Paradise. Reilly has two
-representatives in John and Bridget Rylee, who had born to them on
-September 10, 1693, a daughter, Hannah. After 1700, Irish names peculiar
-to the South, as well as the North of Ireland, rapidly appear. In the
-records of the selectmen of the town of Boston, September 27, 1736, John
-Savell was required to give a bond for a servant imported from Ireland
-by Captain Arnold. James Wimble had to do the same for George Lucas’
-wife and child from Ireland.
-
-Captain John Carrell—Carroll—ditto, for twelve persons he brought from
-Ireland in his vessel. Dinish and Honor Cniae—Kenna—and their two boys,
-were of this number. September 29, Joshua Winslow, Esq., gave a bond for
-William Steward, wife and two children, imported by Captain Boyd.
-Steward was a cooper, and in the following November was admitted an
-inhabitant of the town.

-                        THE IRISH IN AMERICA.[7]
-
-                  BY HERBERT N. CASSON, NEW YORK CITY.
-
-
-Footnote 7:
-
-  Published originally in _Munsey’s Magazine_, New York, April, 1906.
-
-A certain green isle in a northerly sea is the historic home of the
-Irish people, but the present address of at least two thirds of the
-scattered race is “United States of America.” Boston, not Belfast nor
-Dublin, is now the greatest Irish city in the world; and the
-overwhelming majority of Irishmen who have risen to places of
-distinction have done so under the Stars and Stripes.
-
-The historian who shall do full justice to the Irish branch of the human
-family has not yet appeared, either in the United States or elsewhere.
-Consequently, there are few races, if any, which have been so
-persistently misunderstood and undervalued. Even in this country, where
-such a mistake is least excusable, there has been a tendency in some
-quarters to regard the Irish as merely an element of the rank and file.
-The truth is that they have contributed their share of leaders and
-pioneers in almost every line of progress.
-
-_At least seven of our presidents_ have had more or less of Irish blood
-in their veins. Jackson, Buchanan and Arthur were the sons of Ulster
-parents; and the first American ancestor of Polk was an Irish immigrant.
-Monroe and McKinley were more remotely related to the “fighting race.”
-The latter, it is well known, was fond of saying, “We Irish.” Roosevelt,
-also, had several Hibernian twigs on his family tree. This, in itself,
-is an amazing record of Celtic leadership—to have helped to mold the
-character of seven American presidents out of twenty-five.
-
-In the making of America, the Irish have been structural. No other word
-represents their influence so well. In the clearing of forests, the
-digging of canals, the building of railroads, and the extension of
-commerce, our civilization owes an incalculable debt to Irish hands and
-Irish heads.
-
-In the traits of our national character, too, we Americans are all more
-Irish than we realize. Our versatility and buoyancy, our quickness of
-initiative, our free and unconventional ways, and the sporting instinct
-that leads us to take chances and beat records, are a few of the
-evidences of an Irish strain in our blood.
-
-If the handiwork of the Irish were painted green, the average American
-city would be splashed on all sides with emerald hues. Yet there are few
-who are aware of this, even among the Irish themselves. A New Yorker,
-for example, may rise in the morning, bathe in water that comes from the
-Croton dam, built by James Coleman, ex-president of the Friendly Sons of
-St. Patrick; breakfast on Cudahy bacon; then take the subway, built by
-John B. McDonald, past the new College of the City of New York, built by
-Thomas Dwyer, to his office in a skyscraper built by John D. Crimmins,
-where he will cable to Alaska over a line laid by David Lynch, to order
-certain freight sent _via_ James J. Hill’s Great Northern Railroad.
-Then, with a cigar bought from one of George J. Whelan’s 300 cigar
-stores, he will read the New York _Sun_, published by William M. Laffan
-and delivered by the American News Company, founded by Patrick
-Farrelly—and remark to an English friend:
-
-“Yes, of course, this is an Anglo-Saxon country.”
-
-When J. I. C. Clarke, the genial playwright, wrote his famous poem on
-“Kelly and Burke and Shea,” it was generally supposed to be a poetic
-fancy. On the contrary, I find it to be a simple matter of American
-history that the Kellys, the Burkes and the Sheas have been to the fore
-in every generation. They were all three in the battle of Lexington, as
-well as in the death-list of the _Maine_. When Hobson sank the
-_Merrimac_, a Kelly and a Murphy were his comrades in danger. Our first
-noted woman abolitionist was Abbie Kelley. William Darrah Kelley, of
-Philadelphia, was a Congressman for nearly thirty years. Hall Jackson
-Kelley was the founder of Oregon. The late Eugene Kelly, the New York
-banker, won renown as a philanthropist. Among the living members of this
-redoubtable family, James E. Kelly is a well-known electrical engineer.
-The Kelly Ax Company has a fifty-acre plant in Charleston, W. Va.
-Elsewhere * * * you will find the wonderful story of William Kelly,
-whose invention has added hundreds of millions to the wealth of the
-steel industry.
-
-In the Burke family, three heroic figures appear in the first chapter of
-our Revolutionary history—Thomas Burke, the first governor of North
-Carolina; Adamus Burke, chancellor of South Carolina; and John Daly
-Burk, historian, patriot and duelist. All three were fighters with pen
-and sword, who made an indelible mark on the Southern states a century
-ago. In 1872, when Froude cast some aspersions upon the Irish, it was
-Father Thomas Burke who took up the cudgels against him. And at the
-present time we have Burkes enough in the United States to fill a
-“Burke’s Peerage” of their own. There are two bishops who bear the
-famous name, at Albany and St. Joseph; one brigadier-general, at
-Portland, Oregon; one congressman, in South Dakota; a railroad
-president, at Cleveland; and a judge at Seattle.
-
-As for the Sheas, at least four of them have buffeted their way to the
-front—Gen. John Shea,[8] who won his laurels in the Revolution; Capt.
-Daniel Shays, who first fought at Bunker Hill and then stirred up a
-little side-show rebellion on his own account; George A. Shea, an
-eminent chief justice of New York; and John Gilmary Shea, the historian
-of the Catholic Church in the United States.
-
-Footnote 8:
-
-  Gen. John Shee.
-
-In the American business world of today, a large proportion of the solid
-men—the men who stand like pillars under the heavy burdens—are of Irish
-blood. Most conspicuous of all stands the financier upon whom the mantle
-of J. Pierpont Morgan seems to have fallen—the man who is not only
-combining but coördinating American capital—Thomas Fortune Ryan. He is
-one of the greatest masters of financial statesmanship, who cuts the
-Gordian knots of finance and ties others of his own.
-
-Equally immovable, in a different field, stands James J. Hill, born in
-Canada of Ulster parents. What this one man has done for the United
-States has never yet been fully told. He is the creator of the
-Northwest—the railway builder who has opened up a territory equal to a
-couple of Germanys—the steamship builder who has linked America with the
-markets of the East. He has made wide pathways of commerce from Lake
-Superior across 1,500 miles of wilderness and 5,000 miles of ocean to
-the ports of China, Russia and Japan. Ever since he double-earned his
-first dollar as a Mississippi roustabout, fifty years ago, his life has
-been a continuous obstacle-race; and there have been few occasions when
-James J. Hill missed a hurdle.
-
-Two other railway presidents are Samuel Sloan, of New York, who was born
-when Madison was in the White House; and Richard C. Kerens, of St.
-Louis. Daniel O’Day[9]—every inch of him Irish—is one of the most
-important members of the imperial group of financiers who float the flag
-of Standard Oil. Forty years since, he was a laborer in the oil regions,
-whose main problem was to find a job; today, as he jokingly says to his
-friends, his main problem is to find out how to invest his surplus.
-Another New Yorker of Titanic mold is Alexander E. Orr, who was nineteen
-years old before he had seen any other country than Ireland. As a
-president of large commercial bodies, he has few equals. He is a
-director who directs. For nearly fifty years he has stood under the
-heaviest responsibilities, and was recently chosen, because of his
-ability and uprightness, to preside over the immense interests of the
-New York Life Insurance Company.
-
-Footnote 9:
-
-  Recently deceased.
-
-If we speak of great Irish bankers, where is there a large American city
-without one? In Pittsburg, for instance, where there are a score of
-banks bulging with steel millions, the dean of the financial fraternity
-is Thomas Mellon, who, like Alexander E. Orr, was born in Tyrone. In New
-York there are three, at least, who are too prominent to miss—Thomas M.
-Mulry, the new president of the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, which
-was wholly Irish in its origin, and which holds a hundred millions in
-its vaults; Miles M. O’Brien, who was for some time the president of the
-board of education; and Samuel G. Bayne, who is notable for having
-organized national banks in seven states. Charles J. Bell is a
-conspicuous figure in the national capital, as John C. Davis is in
-Wyoming. And in Chicago John R. Walsh has been a notable banker and
-capitalist for twenty years. The recent collapse of his financial
-structure should not obscure the facts of his extraordinary career. To
-begin as a barefooted newsboy, and to struggle to a place of power in
-the sixth greatest city in the world, always preferring to fight big
-enemies rather than little ones—that was Walsh’s record.
-
-Among the cattle kings of the West are Timothy Kinney, of Wyoming, and
-George Russell, of Nevada. Also in Chicago, Milwaukee and Omaha are four
-brothers who know something about the cattle and beef trade—four
-brothers whose parents left Kilkenny in the forties because black famine
-threatened them with starvation; who began their business life with no
-more chance of fortune than any day laborer in the United States, and
-who are today numbered among the few masters of the food supply of the
-world—Michael, Edward A., John and Patrick Cudahy.
-
-Other weighty business men, scattered here and there, are John Flannery,
-the Savannah cotton king; Thomas F. Walsh, of Washington, who is the
-president of the Irrigation Congress; John D. Crimmins, the contractor
-who has added 400 buildings to New York; Patrick F. Murphy, president of
-the Mark Cross Company and well known in New York as an after-dinner
-speaker; Edward Malley, who began with a pack on his back and has now a
-department store in New Haven; Ephraim Dempsie, merchant and public man
-of Spokane; P. B. Magrane, a well-known merchant in the shoe city of
-Lynn; and William P. Rend, the coal magnate of Chicago.
-
-Among the great Irish merchants of former days, the most notable was A.
-T. Stewart, whose New York store was the largest of its kind, either in
-America or elsewhere. His capital was $3,000 when he began to sell his
-Belfast laces, and more than forty millions when he died.
-
-In the United States, as well as in Great Britain, many of the most
-distinguished judges have been of Irish blood. Among the nine justices
-who sit supreme over all American courts, two are Irish by descent—Judge
-Edward D. White and Judge Joseph McKenna. As yet, no one has compiled a
-list of the Irish judges in the various state Supreme Courts; but to
-take New York as an instance, we find five who are of unusual
-prominence—Martin J. Keogh, Morgan J. O’Brien, James Fitzgerald, George
-C. Barrett and Victor J. Dowling. It should also be mentioned that the
-chief judge in the Philippine Islands—John T. McDonough, formerly of
-Albany—is Irish born. William J. Hynes, too, a lawyer of whom Chicago is
-justly proud, began life in County Clare.
-
-To answer fully the question “What have the Irish done for American
-education?” would need a small book in itself. Was not the late Pres.
-William Rainey Harper, the father of Chicago University, of Irish
-descent? This extraordinary man crowded the work of several centuries
-into less than fifty years, sacrificed his preferences as a student that
-he might carry the heaviest financial responsibilities, and died poor
-after having gathered a dozen millions for his university.
-
-Of our Irish born educators, no one outranks William H. Maxwell, who has
-been for eight years the superintendent of New York’s public schools.
-Under him are 16,000 teachers and more than half a million children, the
-most lively and cosmopolitan army of youngsters in the world.
-Superintendent Maxwell has had to fight for every inch of progress in
-his development of the New York school system; but like the dogged
-Ulsterman that he is, he has driven ahead with his far-reaching
-projects, no matter whether the hue and cry was with him or against him.
-
-“Nothing is too good,” he says, “for the taxpayer’s child.”
-
-Speaking of public schools, it would be a sin of omission at this point
-not to mention the thousands of young women of Irish birth or parentage
-who are doing faithful work as schoolteachers in all parts of the United
-States.
-
-The number of our Irish professors is comparatively small. Some who
-deserve special mention are Maurice F. Egan, of the Catholic University
-in Washington; James McMahon, of Cornell; Robert Ellis Thompson, of the
-Central High School in Philadelphia; and Thomas C. Hall, of the Union
-Theological Seminary in New York. A Gaelic chair was established in 1896
-at the Catholic University by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and is
-filled at the present time by Prof. Joseph P. Dunn, who is of American
-birth. To John Tyndall, the notable Irish scientist, the United States
-owes a double debt, inasmuch as he not only delivered a course of
-lectures here in 1872, but devoted the proceeds to the cause of
-scientific research in America.
-
-It is very seldom that an Irishman lacks the gift of speech. Take away
-our Irish orators and journalists, and this would be a dumb and
-cheerless country indeed. Here, for instance, is an offhand list of
-Irish writers of the past and present:
-
-Capt. Mayne Reid, the idol of American boys, and a soldier in our War
-with Mexico; John Boyle O’Reilly, the editor and poet; FitzJames
-O’Brien, who wrote the famous short story, “The Diamond Lens”; Ignatius
-Donnelly, the most versatile and picturesque public man of his
-generation in Minnesota; Edwin Lawrence Godkin, of the New York _Evening
-Post_, a fighter in the high realm of national morality; Henry W. Grady,
-editor of the Atlanta _Constitution_; Patrick Walsh, who was editor of
-the Augusta _Chronicle_ and represented Georgia in the United States
-Senate; and Joseph Medill, founder of the Chicago _Tribune_.
-
-Among those still living are James Jeffrey Roche, now in the consular
-service; Joseph Fitzgerald, author and translator; William M. Laffan,
-proprietor of the New York _Sun_; George T. Oliver, of the Pittsburg
-_Gazette_; Eugene M. O’Neill, of the Pittsburg _Dispatch_; John McLeod
-Keating, who won fame by his fight against yellow fever in the South;
-and John F. Finerty, the eloquent founder of the Chicago _Citizen_.
-
-Three great publishers of Irish birth have been Mathew Carey, of
-Philadelphia, the friend of Lafayette; Robert Bonner, founder of the New
-York _Ledger_; and Patrick Donahoe, founder of the Boston _Pilot_ and
-_Donahoe’s Magazine_. The name of William Desmond O’Brien, too, deserves
-to be included in this paragraph. Mr. O’Brien was a wealthy contractor
-of New York who devoted eighteen years of his life to the preparation of
-an _Encyclopedia Hibernica_, and who died, broken-hearted, in 1893, with
-his great project unfinished. Among Irish-American publishers now
-living, the most notable is P. F. Collier, founder of _Collier’s
-Weekly_.
-
-This power of expression, which is typical of the Irish race, rises
-frequently to the heights of art. The Goddess of Liberty, on the dome of
-the Capitol at Washington, was chiseled by the hands of Thomas Crawford,
-who was of Irish parentage, and whose son is the well-known novelist, F.
-Marion Crawford. Many an American city has been enriched by the genius
-of Augustus St. Gaudens, one of the best beloved and most eminent of
-American sculptors. The statue upon which St. Gaudens is now working, in
-his Vermont studio, is a heroic figure of Parnell for the City of
-Dublin, St. Gaudens’ birthplace. Among the landscape painters, Edward
-Gay, of New York, has held a place for forty years; and another veteran
-artist of Irish birth is William Magrath, who painted “On the Ould
-Sod”—a clever study of Irish character that hangs in the Metropolitan
-Museum in New York.
-
-It is to Dublin, also, that we are indebted for Victor Herbert, our
-popular conductor and composer, and for Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore, the
-famous band master of Civil War times. There have not been so many Irish
-singers of operatic rank, although the Irishman who cannot sing at all
-is as rare as a white blackbird. Probably the most notable was Catherine
-Hayes, who arrived in this country in 1851, married an American husband
-and settled in California. Among the best-known dramatic stars of Irish
-birth now upon the stage are Ada Rehan and James O’Neil, and the elder
-John Drew was a son of Erin. Andrew Mack and Chauncey Olcott are the
-most popular of those who portray Irish life.
-
-That the Irish have been in politics goes without saying. In most states
-they have furnished more than their share, both of bosses and of
-reformers. Richard Croker, the Tammany Hall leader, and Charles O’Conor,
-who overthrew the Tweed Ring, fairly represent the two contending forces
-in American political life. So much has been written indiscriminately of
-Irish bossism that it is nothing but fair to state that some of the
-present leaders of the “anti-graft” movement are Mayor Dunne, of
-Chicago; Mayor Fagan, of Jersey City; District Attorney Moran, of
-Boston; and Hugh McCaffrey, a member of Mayor Weaver’s cabinet, in
-Philadelphia. The late Patrick A. Collins, congressman, consul-general
-in London and mayor of Boston, was for years the foremost Irishman in
-New England.
-
-In the present Congress there are dozens of members of Irish descent,
-but only three of Irish birth—Senator Thomas M. Patterson, of Denver,
-who has been for thirty years a national figure; Representative Bourke
-Cockran, who is unequaled in the Celtic flow of his eloquence; and
-Delegate Bernard S. Rodney, of New Mexico. Senator Thomas Kearns, one of
-the solid pillars of the state of Utah, was born in Canada of Irish
-parents; and James D. Phelan, the well-known Californian, was the son of
-a wealthy Irish merchant of San Francisco. Three other public men of
-Irish birth are Thomas Taggart, of Indianapolis; William McAdoo, of New
-York; and ex-Governor James E. Boyd, of Nebraska. And no Irishman will
-ever allow the fact to be forgotten that James G. Blaine, one of the
-greatest figures in all American political history, was of Irish
-descent. His great-grandfather, Ephraim Blaine, bore an honorable part
-in the Revolutionary struggle, and far back in colonial days the Blaines
-were among the hardiest pioneers of the Cumberland Valley.
-
-Rising to the religious world, we find many noted Irish names, alike in
-the Protestant and Catholic churches. There are no fewer than
-twenty-three bishops and five archbishops in this country who learned
-their first prayers on Irish soil. This may also be said of Cardinal
-Gibbons, who was born in the United States, but taken to Ireland in
-infancy. The five archbishops are John M. Farley, John J. Glennon, John
-Ireland, John Joseph Keane, and Patrick John Ryan. When was there ever
-before such a distinguished quintet of Johns?
-
-Like St. Gaudens and Herbert, Dr. William S. Rainsford hails from
-Dublin. Thirty years ago he entered New York an unknown young curate,
-and proceeded to establish the foremost institutional church in America,
-having at the present time more than 5,000 members. Unfortunately,
-overwork has recently compelled him to resign.
-
-Historically, there have been four Irish churchmen who have wielded a
-great influence in American affairs—Father Mathew, the apostle of
-temperance, who persuaded 600,000 Americans to sign the pledge;
-Archbishop Hughes, of New York, who was sent to England by President
-Lincoln during the Civil War; Father Ryan, the poet of the South; and
-the Rev. John Hall, the pulpit orator of New York.
-
-Nothing can be more absurd than to speak of the Irish as newcomers in
-America. No one but a resurrected mound-builder would be entitled to do
-that. For the last thousand years or more, wherever there has been any
-great enterprise on foot, in the thick of things there have always been
-men with the shamrock in their hearts. The ship that carried Columbus
-from the known continent to the unknown had a Galway man aboard—so we
-are told on good authority. And one of the maps which cheered Columbus
-forward showed a country across the ocean which was called “Great
-Ireland.” This far western land had been discovered, it was reported, by
-St. Brendan, an Irish monk, eight or nine centuries before.
-
-There were a few Irish on the _Mayflower_, but the first large body
-arrived about twenty years later. There were five or six hundred of
-them—a forlorn and pitiful mob, forcibly transported from their native
-land. Those were the black days of Cromwell, when $25 was paid for the
-head of a wolf and $50 for the head of a patriot Irishman. In ten years
-probably 100,000 were driven out, and many of them came to the American
-colonies.
-
-The first big Irishman in our colonial history was Gov. Thomas Dongan,
-who gave New York its earliest charter, and who deserves to be called
-one of the pioneer champions of popular rights in America. The second
-was the distinguished philosopher, Bishop Berkeley, who came from Derry
-to Rhode Island in 1728, lured by a missionary enterprise that failed.
-All through the eighteenth century came a steady stream of the exiled
-Irish—men and women who had been toughened in a terrible school, and who
-were fit and ready for the perils of the American wilderness. Most of
-them were from the north of Ireland—from little Ulster, that
-giant-breeding province whose sons have made history in almost every
-country of the earth. They were the first across the Alleghanies. They
-settled Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and the coal and iron regions
-of Pennsylvania. Such men as Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and Matthew
-Lyon were their leaders. It was they who colonized Ulster County in New
-York and Londonderry in New Hampshire. The colonial hero of the
-Catskills was Timothy Murphy—so wrote Jay Gould in his famous _History
-of Delaware County_, published fifty years ago.
-
-When the War of Independence began there were Irish on the firing-line
-everywhere. They had a personal as well as a colonial grievance against
-Great Britain; and here was a chance, at last, to even up old scores. A
-writer of those times describes them as “a hardy, brave, hot-headed
-race; excitable in temper; unrestrainable in passion; invincible in
-prejudice. They are impatient of restraint, and rebellious against
-anything that in their eyes bears the resemblance of injustice. They
-were the readiest of the ready on the battlefields of the Revolution.”
-These were not parlor virtues, but they were the kind that founded the
-American republic. “You lost America by the Irish,” declared Lord
-Mountjoy in the British Parliament.
-
-In those critical days, while thousands were dilly-dallying, the Irish
-were hot for action. It was John Sullivan who struck the first blow,
-four months before the historic skirmish at Lexington, by capturing
-military stores at Portsmouth. The Sullivan family, of which he was a
-member, furnished three governors for the young republic. Their mother,
-in her old age, used to say that she had often worked in the fields
-carrying the governor of Massachusetts, while the governors of New
-Hampshire and Vermont tagged at her skirts. The first British warship
-was captured by an O’Brien; and John Barry became the official father of
-the American navy by receiving the earliest commission as captain. The
-first American general to fall was the brilliant Richard Montgomery,
-whose virtues compelled even Lord North to lament his death. It is an
-interesting fact, and one of which few are aware, that the three
-monuments in front of New York’s oldest church—St. Paul’s, on lower
-Broadway, are in memory of three famous Irishmen—General Montgomery,
-Thomas Addis Emmet and Dr. William MacNevin, the first scientific
-chemist of New York.
-
-In 1776 three of the signers were of Irish birth—Matthew Thornton, James
-Smith and George Taylor. Five others, at least, were of Irish
-blood—Edward Rutledge, Thomas Lynch, Thomas McKean, George Reed and
-Charles Carroll of Carrollton. The secretary of the assemblage, who read
-aloud the Declaration on the birth-morning of our republic, was Charles
-Thompson, Irish born and the son of an evicted farmer. And one of the
-first societies to back George Washington with men and money was the
-Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Philadelphia, who raised half a million
-dollars and swung into line with a cheer. Only one of their members
-objected, and his name was struck from the society’s rolls. Washington
-was a frequent guest at their banquets and an honorary member, as
-President Roosevelt is of the same society in New York.
-
-No history of the Revolution is complete without its Irish chapter. What
-with the dashing work of the Irish Brigade under Count Dillon; with the
-exploits of Mad Anthony Wayne and General Moylan, the Murat of the
-Revolutionary cavalry; and with the powerful aid of Burke and Sheridan
-in England, King George the Third found himself beset by Irishmen from
-all quarters. There were whole companies of Irishmen who fought for
-American independence under their own green flag, as loyal to their
-adopted country as to the land of their birth.
-
-The most typical Irishman of pioneer times was Andrew Jackson, our
-seventh president. One secret of his greatness lay in the fact that
-there were many men of his mold and nationality in every American
-community. It is a fact that should cause every Irish heart to beat with
-pride that the first American president who rose from the rank and file,
-without the prestige of aristocratic birth or the polish of education,
-was the son of a rack-rented exile from Ulster. It may even be true that
-he was the first in the world’s history to climb so high, not by force
-of arms, but by the free choice of a free people.
-
-“Old Hickory,” as his soldiers called him, has had no superiors as a
-popular leader. None of his enemies, and he made many of them, could
-question his honesty, his sincerity, his courage. He believed that the
-duty of a government was to protect the weak, curb the strong, and obey
-public opinion. During his presidency the United States bounded into
-industrial greatness and international prestige.
-
-Overlapping Jackson came another typical Irishman, equally great in
-peace and war—Gen. James Shields. This remarkable man climbed to fame by
-half a dozen various paths. He was the hero of two wars, a judge of the
-Illinois Supreme Court, a governor of Oregon, and the only American who
-has had the honor of representing three states in the United States
-Senate. Like Jackson, he was gentle and chivalrous in private life, and
-an incarnate fury on the field of battle. His whole career was one of
-romantic knight errantry and adventure. He was a wit and a maker of
-epigrams. One of his happiest replies was on one occasion when he was
-asked to name his greatest victory.
-
-“My greatest victory,” he answered quickly, “was won on the day when my
-sweetheart, Mary Carr, said ‘Yes.’”
-
-After the terrible famine caused by the failure of the potato crop in
-1845 and the following years, the Irish poured into America in mighty
-hosts. Since that time more than four millions have arrived here, ready
-with Celtic buoyancy for the battle of life in a new land, and yet
-almost heart-broken to leave the green fields of their fathers.
-
-“Is it hard to die, Barney?” asked a friend of a dying Irishman.
-
-“It is,” replied Barney; “but not so hard as it was to leave Ireland.”
-
-But they went to work with a laugh and an “Irish hurrah.” Whether they
-knew it or not, they had arrived when they were most needed. The era of
-railroads and steamships had begun. Great cities were being built and
-being rebuilt. The factory system was being established in New England.
-The iron and steel trade had secured a solid foothold. And so, while the
-Irish had nothing to offer at first but labor, labor was what the United
-States was most urgently in need of at that stage of its development.
-
-When the Civil War put American manhood to the test the Irish were
-everywhere—in the thickets of the Wilderness, at the Bloody Angle of
-Gettysburg, on the crimson field of Chancellorsville. Standing for state
-rights—the rights of which John C. Calhoun had been the great
-exponent—were Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne, Senator Regan, the Texan, and
-others. Standing for the Union were Sheridan, Meade and Meagher, whose
-dashing valor is one of our national boasts. Unquestionably “Little
-Phil” Sheridan deserves a high place, not only among American generals,
-but among the foremost military commanders of the world. Today, among
-the retired veterans of the United States Army there are three
-brigadier-generals of Irish birth—Richard Comba, John J. Coppinger and
-William Quinton.[10] There is also one rear-admiral—Joseph Trilley.
-
-Footnote 10:
-
-  To these three should be added: Brig. Gen. Bernard J. D. Irwin, Brig.
-  Gen. Michael Cooney, Brig. Gen. James W. Scully, Brig. Gen. Charles P.
-  Eagan, Brig. Gen. William E. Dougherty, Brig. Gen. John R. McGinness
-  and Brig. Gen. John J. O’Connell, all natives of Ireland.
-
-For more than two hundred years the sons of Ireland have been among the
-pathfinders who prepared the way for the American nation in its mighty
-sweep from the Atlantic to the Pacific. No region has ever been too
-remote or perilous to daunt the Irish pioneer. Whoever discovers the
-North Pole will no doubt find a Kelly or an O’Brien already on the spot.
-It was Capt. John J. Healy, for instance, who was the commercial
-discoverer of Alaska; and when the United States first took possession
-of that frozen country, four of the sixteen white men in its largest
-settlement were found to be subscribers to the _Irish World_. Gen.
-Patrick E. Connor was a trail-maker in Utah, as Philip Nolan and Sam
-Houston were in Texas. Henry W. Oliver, the late steel king of
-Pittsburg, who had the most dramatic career of ups and downs that
-western Pennsylvania has ever known, was the first Pittsburgher to
-realize fully the value of the Lake Superior iron ore. In consequence,
-he piled up a forty-million fortune. Missouri had Brian Mullanphy, who
-left a fortune for the assistance of poor immigrants. In fact, when the
-history of any western state is written, it will be found that among the
-army that cleared the way there was always an Irish brigade.
-
-The plain, straight truth about the Western Irish is more wonderful than
-any fanciful tale woven in the loom of Arabian imagination. Talk about
-_Monte Cristo_ or _Sinbad the Sailor_! They are paltry adventurers
-compared with men like John W. Mackay or Marcus Daly. With his three
-partners, also Irish—James C. Flood, James G. Fair and William S.
-O’Brien—John W. Mackay changed the silver markets of the world. Within a
-comparatively few years these four men took a treasure of $150,000,000
-from one hole in the side of a Nevada mountain—the famous Comstock lode.
-Always ready for big enterprises, Mackay put his millions behind James
-Gordon Bennett’s dream to link America and Europe together by an
-Atlantic cable, and drove the scheme ahead to complete success. What
-Marcus Daly did in Montana was different only in detail. He, too,
-“grasped the skirts of happy chance” with a grip that landed him and his
-friends among the most powerful money kings of his generation.
-
-All five of these Irishmen began at the lowest rung of the ladder. They
-made themselves the leaders in a country of strong and daring men, by
-being the strongest and most daring of all. And today their children
-have linked their fathers’ names by marriage with some of the proudest
-families in the older states—the Oelrichses, Vanderbilts, Duers and
-Girards, as well as to the princely Colonnas of Italy.
-
-Whether it is the versatile genius of the Emmets of New York; or the
-fighting pluck of “Bucky” O’Neil, who was killed with the Rough Riders
-at Santiago; or the sagacity of John Mitchell, who is the leader of
-150,000 miners—whether it is the sheer brain force and inventiveness of
-a Fulton, a Morse or a McCormick, or the quaint and witty wisdom of “Mr.
-Dooley,” there have always been qualities of the Irish head and the
-Irish heart that brought honor to the little home-land of the Celt.
-
-“There is nothing negative about the Irish,” said Patrick Ford—which is
-exactly what anyone who knows the rugged old journalist would have
-expected him to say. They may be on the wrong side of the quarrel, but
-one thing is always certain—they are never on the fence. They care
-little or nothing for obstacles and adverse circumstances. They are the
-best of friends and the best of enemies—the quickest with either the
-open hand or the fist—the most loyal to a cause and the most rebellious
-against a tyranny. They live closest to hope and farthest from despair.
-
-“Why,” said Maurice Healy, an Alaskan fur trader, “I’m only 700 miles
-from a bank!”
-
-You can bend and twist an Irishman, but you can seldom break him—the
-records of insanity and suicide prove this. He “works hard in time of
-peace and fights hard in time of war,” as President Roosevelt has said.
-Impulsive, daring, constructive, indomitable, the Irishman has done
-indispensable work in this land of his choice.
-
-“May his shadow never grow less!”—so say we all.

-
- Feb.   4.  Capt. James Connolly of Coronado, Cal., a member of the
-            Society, writes to Secretary Murray that he has contracted
-            with a Boston publisher to bring out a volume of verse

-            the Civil War he served as a member of the Fifteenth New
-            York Engineers. That was before he became a priest. He was
-            in the engagements at the Wilderness, Spottsylvania and
-            Appomatox. Though he was wounded at Bermuda Hundred, he was
-            able to get back to his regiment in time to be in at the
-            finish at Appomatox Courthouse. Father Leary was elected
-            chaplain-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at the
-            national encampment held last September.
-
- Feb.  28.  George T. Little, librarian of Bowdoin College, requests a
-            copy of Volume II of the Journal of the Society for that

-            possession of the other volumes of the series.
-
- March.     Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, LL. D., of the Society, is the
-            author of a volume brought out this month entitled, _The
-            True Andrew Jackson_. It is illustrated, comprises 503
-            pages, and is dedicated as follows: “To that most useful and
-            eminent citizen, John D. Crimmins, and our fellow-members of
-            the American-Irish Historical Society, I dedicate this
-            appreciation of the greatest among the many of Irish lineage
-            who have contributed to the upbuilding of the republic.”
-
- March  2.  The State Historical Society of Missouri, by its secretary,
-            expresses a desire to secure copies of the publications of
-            our Society.
-

-
- March  9.  Frederick H. Hild, librarian of the Chicago Public Library,
-            writes that the library is desirous of having a complete set
-            of the Journal of the Society, and also copies of such other
-            publications as may be issued.
-
- March 12.  The Rhode Island state house commissioners granted this
-            afternoon, permission to the Society to erect a tablet in
-            the edifice to Gen. John Sullivan of the Revolution.
-
- March 13.  The Providence (R. I.) _Evening Tribune_ contains an
-            interesting article on the memorial tablet which the Society
-            purposes erecting in the state capitol, Providence, to
-            Maj.-Gen. John Sullivan of the Revolution.
-
- March 14.  An article on Maj.-Gen. John Sullivan is published in the
-            Providence (R. I.) _Evening Tribune_ today, accompanied by
-            his portrait.
-
- March 15.  Most Rev. Robert Seton, titular archbishop of Heliopolis,
-            lectured at the Irish College, Rome, today, on The Irish in
-            America. Among those present was Cardinal Michael Logue,
-            archbishop of Armagh, and primate of all Ireland.
-
- March 24.  A despatch from Montreal, this date, states that the Oakhall
-            restaurant, corner of St. Peter and Notre Dame streets, that
-            city, was burned out last night. Special interest centres
-            in the fact that the building was occupied in 1775 as the
-            headquarters of Gen. Richard Montgomery and staff of the
-            American army in Montreal.
-
- March 28.  Melvin G. Dodge, librarian of Leland Stanford Junior
-            University, California, wishes copies of Volumes I and III
-            of the Journal of the Society for that institution. He
-            writes us to that effect.
-
- March 31.  Gaelic Notes in this week’s New York _Irish World_ has the
-            following: “Now that the question of teaching Irish history
-            in the schools has again come to the front, we would repeat
-            the suggestion made by us a couple of years ago to the
-            American-Irish Historical Society, that in no possible way
-            could it so promote the objects for which it is organized as
-            by the preparation of a popular text-book of the history of
-            the race in America, suitable for the use of schools. The
-            Society has the material for doing this; it could do it
-            without loss to itself, and with great profit to the race,
-            which it would thus have put under a debt of gratitude.”
-
- April.     Death of Gen. M. T. McMahon at his home in New York City.
-            He was a judge of the New York Court of General Sessions
-            at the time of his death. He had practised law in New York
-            for many years and was a fine speaker, but he was known
-            chiefly as a soldier. He was educated at St. John’s College,
-            Fordham, from which he graduated in 1855, and then went
-            to Buffalo, where he studied law in the office of Eli Cook,
-            then mayor of the city, in company with Grover Cleveland,
-            since president of the United States. Although able to pass
-            the examination, he was too young to be admitted to the
-            bar, and he became a correspondence clerk in the general
-            post-office at Washington. In President Buchanan’s
-            administration he was appointed special post-office agent
-            to the Pacific coast. He was admitted to the bar at
-            Sacramento in 1861. At the first call for troops at the
-            breaking out of the Civil War he raised the first company
-            of cavalry on the Pacific. He was elected captain of the
-            company, but when it was decided that the company should
-            not go to the front he resigned and went to Washington.
-            He was made a captain in the regular army and an
-            aide-de-camp to Gen. George B. McClellan, whose bosom friend
-            he remained until “Little Mac’s” death. He served in every
-            engagement in which the Army of the Potomac took part. When
-            the Sixth Corps was disbanded he was adjutant-general and
-            chief of staff. He also served under Generals Franklin,
-            Sedgwick (who was killed at the Wilderness), Baldy Smith
-            and Wright. He received the congressional medal of honor
-            for bravery at the battle of White Oak Swamp. Congress also
-            presented him with a jeweled sword for conspicuous bravery
-            at Spottsylvania and other battles. At the close of the
-            war he was assigned as adjutant-general under General Dix,
-            to the Department of the East. He resigned in 1866 and
-            became corporation attorney of New York City. President
-            Johnson made him minister to Paraguay. In 1879 he ran for
-            Congress against Robert B. Roosevelt and was defeated. Two
-            years later he was appointed receiver of taxes by Andrew
-            H. Green, then comptroller. He was United States marshal
-            for the Southern District of New York under President
-            Cleveland. After that he was an assemblyman and a state
-            senator. For years he had been one of the managers of the
-            National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. In 1896 he
-            was elected judge of the Court of General Sessions. General
-            McMahon was a Fenian and was ready for service in Ireland.
-            He was also a member of the Clan-na-Gael in its earlier
-            days. His brother, John E. McMahon, who was attorney-general
-            and adjutant-general of New York state under Governor
-            Seymour, was colonel of the One Hundred and Sixty-fourth
-            New York Volunteers, which he raised in Buffalo at the
-            outbreak of the war. The regiment was later consolidated
-            with the Phœnix Zouaves, a Fenian regiment, and McMahon
-            became colonel. It was part of the Corcoran Legion. Col.
-            John E. McMahon was killed at the siege of Suffolk, Va., in
-            1863. The other brother, James P. McMahon, was a captain in
-            the Sixty-ninth with Thomas Francis Meagher, later became
-            lieutenant-colonel of the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth New
-            York, and was promoted to be colonel of the One Hundred and
-            Sixty-fourth New York, in place of his brother, Martin. He
-            remained in command of the latter regiment until he was
-            killed in a charge at the battle of Cold Harbor on June 3,
-            1864.

-
- April 28.  An editorial in the _New Century_, Washington, D. C., this
-            date, says: “As an individual contributor to the San
-            Francisco relief fund, one notices an Irish name leading all
-            the rest—far and above in amount, the generosity of the
-            Rockefellers, the Astors and the Vanderbilts. The name is
-            that of James D. Phelan, who subscribed $1,000,000. And
-            this, notwithstanding that he himself lost $15,000,000 by
-            the fire. These great catastrophes always evoke
-            large-hearted acts and assure us that neither magnanimity,
-            public spirit nor courage have yet vanished from the face of
-            the earth. Mr. Phelan’s conduct proclaims him a man worthy
-            of his wealth. We learn, further, that he is a Catholic, a
-            graduate of a Jesuit college and that he was mayor of San
-            Francisco from 1896 to 1902. As he is only forty-five years
-            of age, we shall hope to hear more of him hereafter.”
-

-
- May     5. The New York _Irish-American_ for this week has the
-            following relative to our San Francisco member, ex-Mayor
-            James D. Phelan: “In San Francisco the man of the hour in
-            whose hands is the management of the great relief fund,
-            and under whose executive direction the important movements
-            that are to lift the stricken city up from the depths and
-            rebuild her shattered fortunes have already been begun,
-            is that well-known Irish-American, James D. Phelan, former
-            mayor of the city. Although his personal and business losses
-            must reach millions, it is reported that he has devoted
-            the sum of $1,000,000 out of his private fortune to employ
-            the afflicted laboring people of his native city. Mr.
-            Phelan, whose father was one of the men who made San
-            Francisco rich and famous, was born in 1861, and was
-            educated at St. Ignatius College, in that city, where he
-            graduated with honor, after a four years’ course of study.
-            He then entered as a student at the law department of the
-            University of California, of which he is also a graduate.
-            He was selected mayor of the city, as a Democrat, in 1896,
-            and served until 1902. His régime was marked by zeal and
-            ability in the public service. The Democrats of the state
-            Legislature complimented him with their nomination for
-            United States senator a few years ago. He is one of the
-            leading capitalists of the United States, and has numerous
-            commercial and mining interests. He is president of the
-            Mutual Savings Bank and the finest business block in San
-            Francisco, situated on Market Street, bore his name. It
-            withstood the shock of earthquake, but the resulting fire
-            reduced it to a mass of smoking ruins. Mr. Phelan has been
-            for years a generous supporter of the Irish cause and has
-            stood by both Parnell and Redmond with his influence and his
-            money. His father aided in receiving Terence Bellew McManus,
-            John Mitchel and Thomas Francis Meagher when those patriots
-            escaped from the British penal settlements in Australia and
-            sought liberty and new careers in America. No city has been
-            more generous in aid of Ireland than San Francisco and its
-            people, of all races, are renowned for their hospitality
-            and liberality, and foremost among those who offered that
-            hospitality has always been James D. Phelan. In the new city
-            that is to rise triumphant from the ashes of the present
-            disaster his grateful fellow-citizens will no doubt give him
-            every honor in their bestowal.”
-
- May   12.  The funeral took place, at Boston today, of Patrick E.
-            Flood. He was a member of the crew of the U. S. S.
-            _Kearsarge_ when she fought the _Alabama_.
-
- May   29.  John F. Sweeney, Buffalo, N. Y., becomes a life member of

-
- May   30.  In the old Granary burying ground, Boston, this morning,
-            was unveiled a slab marking the burial place of those who
-            fell in the Boston massacre of March 5, 1770, and of a boy
-            who was killed on the previous February 22. The modest slab
-            of slate is in keeping with the other memorials in this
-            historic burying ground. It was erected by Boston Chapter,
-            S. A. R., and is the first permanent marker that has been
-            placed over these graves. Dr. Samuel Crowell, president
-            of the Boston Chapter, unveiled the slab with a brief
-            introductory speech, presenting Dr. Moses Greeley Parker
-            of Lowell, president of the Massachusetts Society, who
-            congratulated Boston Chapter on the work it has done and
-            is doing. Edward W. McGlenen, city registrar, of the
-            committee, gave a brief historical sketch of the events
-            leading up to the massacre, including the shooting of the
-            boy, Christopher Snider, by the British soldiers, who fired
-            into his father’s house. Little attention has been paid in
-            history to the killing of this boy, called on the slab “the
-            innocent first victim of the struggles between the colonists
-            and the crown.” The slab stands close to the grave of Samuel
-            Adams and is in plain view from the street. The inscription
-            reads:

-
-The following members of the Society died during the year 1906, much and
-deservedly regretted:
-
-  COFFEY, JOHN J., born in County Kerry, Ireland, 1831; died at Neponset
-    (Boston), Mass., June 13, 1906. He enlisted for service in the Civil
-    War on December 13, 1861, in Company C, Twenty-eighth Massachusetts
-    Regiment (the famous Faugh-a-Ballaghs), which formed part of
-    Meagher’s Irish Brigade, and he later fought with the Fourth Heavy
-    Artillery of Massachusetts. Among the famous battles in which he
-    took part were Marye’s Heights, Gettysburg and Fredericksburg. He
-    was stricken with rheumatic fever, which necessitated his taking
-    furloughs. With the exception of these two absences he served from
-    the first year of the war until its conclusion, and was in the army
-    which assembled in Washington for review preparatory to its
-    disbandment at the close of hostilities. He returned to Boston after
-    the war, and was active in military organizations. He joined the
-    Montgomery Light Guard Veteran Association and various other Irish
-    societies. He was a most patriotic man and an active worker in the
-    interests of his native land. He was identified with the Irish
-    National League, Irish National Federation and the United Irish
-    League. He also belonged to Division 43, A. O. H., the Knights of
-    St. Brendan and John A. Andrew Post, No. 5, G. A. R. He is survived
-    by his wife and six children: James D. and Timothy J. Coffey of
-    Boston; Charles M. Coffey, who has been in the West and Alaska for
-    some years, part of the time serving in the United States Cavalry;
-    Mrs. George G. White of Dorchester, Mass.; Mrs. William H. Murphy of
-    Neponset; and Miss Anna S. Coffey, a teacher in the Henry L. Pierce
-    School, Dorchester, who lived with her parents. When a collection of
-    articles for an Irish-American loan exhibition for the World’s fair
-    at St. Louis, Mo., was being gotten up in 1904, John J. Coffey, the
-    subject of this obituary, contributed an Irish flag that had been
-    carried during the Civil War by the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts.
-    Accompanying the flag, he sent a letter, the following being an
-    extract therefrom: “This flag has a precious history. It was
-    presented to the Twenty-eighth Regiment, through the late Patrick
-    Donahoe, by the Irish women of Boston, on Sept. 24, 1861, at the
-    same time Governor Andrew presented the regiment with the flag of
-    the State of Massachusetts. My company (C) was selected as the right
-    center or color company, and my brother, Michael J., whose height
-    exceeded mine by two inches, was selected as color sergeant of this
-    green flag, and carried it until he fell mortally wounded at the
-    second battle of Bull Run, August 30, 1862; after that it went
-    through Chantilly, South Mountain and Antietam. On the memorable day
-    of the attack on Marye’s Heights, at Fredericksburg, it was the only
-    green flag unfurled—and by this I do not intend to cast any
-    reflections on the other four regiments of the Irish Brigade. Some
-    time before Chancellorsville, in May following, Colonel Byrnes and
-    the other officers of the regiment concluded that it was too
-    cumbersome, subscribed among themselves and procured a flag of
-    lighter fabric (worsted), and laid the old flag (this one) aside,
-    but in safe keeping, and you may rest assured that it has been
-    scrupulously cared for and treasured by the custodian.”
-
-  COLEMAN, JAMES S., builder of the new Croton Dam, New York, and street
-    cleaning commissioner from 1881 to 1891, died at his home, 38 East
-    69th Street, New York City, December 17. Deceased was one of the
-    best-known contractors in this country. At the time of his
-    appointment as commissioner of street cleaning by Mayor Grace of New
-    York he was engaged in the construction of the Texas and Pacific
-    Railroad, which work was turned over to other contractors, while
-    deceased gave his whole time to the study of his work for the city.
-    He was the first commissioner to realize the many commercial uses to
-    which city waste might be put, and he so arranged the disposal of
-    garbage as to clear for the city $90,000 yearly. Mayor Grace
-    appointed him to a six-year term, which continued through the term
-    of Mayor Edson, and subsequently he was re-appointed for another
-    six-year term by Mayor Hewitt. In 1892 he received the contract for
-    the building of the new Croton Dam, and shortly before his death the
-    entire work was completed. Deceased was born about sixty-three years
-    ago. He came of a family of contractors, his father having engaged
-    in that business until his death. He spent his boyhood in Madison,
-    N. J. Deceased was prominent in charitable work of an unobtrusive
-    sort and was a member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
-    American Geographical Society and the Manhattan, Catholic and
-    Hardware clubs, Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and was a member of
-    the board of managers of the Catholic Orphan Asylum. Funeral
-    services were held at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
-
-  CURRY, CAPT. PATRICK S., born in Ireland; died in Nashua, N. H., April
-    7, 1906. He came to this country when a young man, eventually
-    settling in Lynn, Mass., where he was long engaged in the granite
-    business. During the Civil War he rose from the ranks to command
-    Companies C and G of the Third Massachusetts Cavalry, under Banks
-    and Sheridan. He was one of the volunteers at the storming of Port
-    Hudson, and for his bravery there was given a medal by Congress.
-    During the siege of Baton Rouge he was made provost marshal at that
-    place. He was wounded several times. In 1883 he was elected
-    representative to the Massachusetts General Court from Lynn, and was
-    the author of the free text-book bill. He also presented the bill
-    abolishing contract labor in prisons. At the time of his death he
-    was superintending the construction of a new post-office building in
-    Nashua, N. H.
-
-  DAVIS, HON. ROBERT T. (M. D.), born in County Down, Ireland, 1823;
-    died in Fall River, Mass., October 29, 1906. He was the son of John
-    and Sarah (Thompson) Davis. His father was a Presbyterian and his
-    mother a member of the Society of Friends. They came to America in
-    1826 and settled in Amesbury, Mass. Doctor Davis was educated in the
-    Friends’ School at Providence, R. I., and at Amesbury Academy, and
-    began the study of medicine with Dr. Thomas Wilbur, well remembered
-    as a leading physician in Fall River. He passed two years at Tremont
-    Medical School in Boston and was graduated from the medical
-    department of Harvard in 1847. In 1850 he went to Fall River and
-    began the practice of his profession, winning a high rank as a
-    skillful physician. When a young man he was active in the
-    anti-slavery movement and in 1851 made a speech in favor of
-    instructing the local representatives to vote for Charles Sumner for
-    United States senator. He was a member of the state constitutional
-    convention in 1853, and in 1858 and 1861 was a state senator. He was
-    a member of the national Republican convention which nominated
-    Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and also in 1876 when Rutherford B. Hayes
-    was nominated. At the request of Governor Andrew of Massachusetts,
-    he introduced the resolution for the appointment of peace
-    commissioners to attend a convention in Washington in an endeavor to
-    preserve peace between the North and the South. During the early
-    days of the Civil War he assisted in the formation of the Seventh
-    Massachusetts Regiment, intending to accompany them to the front as
-    surgeon, but gave way to a relative of the colonel of the regiment,
-    who was desirous of securing the appointment. He was later appointed
-    by Governor Andrew medical examiner of recruits for his district,
-    and later examiner of applicants for exemption from military duty on
-    account of physical disability. He was one of the three local
-    surgeons who, in obedience to a call from Washington, after the
-    second battle of Bull Run, went to Alexandria and assisted in
-    treating the wounded. In 1863 Governor Andrew appointed him a member
-    of the State Board of Charities, and in 1869 he was appointed a
-    member of the State Board of Health by Governor Claflin, and when
-    the two boards were consolidated he was appointed as a member of the
-    new board by Governor Talbot. In 1873 he was elected mayor of Fall
-    River without opposition, and at the close of his term he donated
-    his salary to the Children’s Home. He was elected to Congress in
-    1882 and re-elected in 1884 and 1886 and was afterwards appointed by
-    Gov. Oliver Ames a member of the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission.
-    Doctor Davis in his long life had been prominent and successful in
-    so many different fields that his early life as a physician and
-    politician had been in a sense forgotten by the present generation.
-    During the Land League and other Irish movements, Doctor Davis was
-    always generous in support of Home Rule principles, and he had
-    frequently been heard making eloquent and appealing pleas for the
-    freedom of his native land. He was identified with the business
-    interests of Fall River as a large owner of real estate and as one
-    of the largest holders of mill stock in the city. He held large
-    blocks of stock in a number of the mills, preferring to invest so as
-    to be a dominant factor in the corporation in which he was
-    interested. Doctor Davis held many offices in the corporations of
-    the city. He was a director and also president of the Algonquin
-    Printing Company, the Stafford mills and the Wampanoag mills. He was
-    also a director in the Davis mills, the Merchants’ mills and the
-    Stevens Manufacturing Company. He had been president of the Fall
-    River board of trade, the Union Hospital Corporation and the Home
-    Market Club. Doctor Davis married, in 1848, Sarah Congdon Wilbur,
-    daughter of Dr. Thomas Wilbur of Fall River, who died in 1856, and
-    in 1862 he married Susan A. Haight, daughter of Moses Haight of
-    Westchester County, New York, who passed away a few years ago. He is
-    survived by one son, Robert C. Davis of the law firm of Jackson,
-    Slade & Borden.
-
-  DOOGUE, WILLIAM, born in Queen’s County, Ireland, 1828; died in
-    Dorchester (Boston), Mass., November 2, 1906; superintendent of
-    public grounds, Boston, Mass. When a lad his family emigrated,
-    settling in Middletown, Conn. Here Mr. Doogue was educated in the
-    local schools, having in his native country received primary
-    instruction at a private school. At the age of seventeen he was
-    apprenticed to Affleck, Whitmore & Co., of Hartford, Conn., who
-    operated one of the most extensive nursery and greenhouse plants in
-    New England at the time. Here he learned the science of
-    floriculture, horticulture and landscape gardening. He served five
-    years with this firm, and during the last three years of his
-    apprenticeship studied botany under the tuition of Professor
-    Comstock of Trinity College, a well-known writer on that subject.
-    After the death of Mr. Affleck, Mr. Doogue became a partner in the
-    firm, the style of which was changed to that of Whitmore & Co. In
-    1865 Mr. Doogue dissolved his connection with the firm and came to
-    Boston. He assumed the entire management of the floricultural and
-    horticultural business of Charles Copeland in Boston and Melrose,
-    Mass. Later he established himself in business as a florist and was
-    most successful. In 1871 Mr. Doogue’s skill was fittingly recognized
-    when he was chosen to lay out the grounds of the Centennial
-    Exposition held in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, and make a tropical
-    and sub-tropical display. He did splendid work and was highly
-    complimented, and as a reward was presented with two gold and two
-    silver medals and diplomas. Mr. Doogue transformed the Boston Public
-    Garden from a place of a few monotonous floral displays during the
-    summer season, to one of a succession of brilliant, attractive and
-    artistic flowering and rare plants and exotics, which have been the
-    delight of visitors. He propagated many of the most rare and costly
-    plants and bulbs, and accumulated stocks of these and other products
-    of the greenhouse and nursery, which are today worth in money much
-    more than the whole plant has cost the city. It may be said he
-    created the department of public grounds, for when he took charge of
-    it it was only a name, a title; now it is a substantial and
-    creditable asset of the city, as well as a fitting monument to the
-    genius and memory of William Doogue. Mr. Doogue was liberal, but
-    unostentatious in his contributions to works of religion and
-    charity. His aid to the Home for Destitute Catholic Children and St.
-    Mary’s Infant Asylum, Dorchester, is remembered with gratitude by
-    the Sisters having charge of those institutions. He leaves five
-    children, Mrs. Timothy McCarthy, Mrs. D. H. Sullivan, Mrs. John
-    O’Connell and Luke J. and William J. Doogue. The funeral of Mr.
-    Doogue took place from the Church of the Immaculate Conception,
-    Boston, in which for years he had been a faithful worshipper. In the
-    congregation were Mayor Fitzgerald, ex-Mayor T. N. Hart, city
-    officials and representatives of organizations of which Mr. Doogue
-    was a member. Interment was at Middletown, Conn.
-
-  KENEDY, P. J., born in New York City, 1843; died there January 4,
-    1906. He was educated at the Christian Brothers’ School in Canal
-    Street, New York. Being brought up in the book business, he assisted
-    his father in his stores in Centre Street and in Mott Street and
-    Barclay Street. On his father’s death, Mr. Kenedy succeeded to the
-    business, and so well did it develop that he soon took over the
-    entire building at No. 5 Barclay Street, which in time became the
-    most extensive Catholic publishing house in the country. A few years
-    ago he took two of his sons into the firm with him, and they will
-    continue the business, the foundation of which their grandfather,
-    John Kenedy, laid eighty years ago. In the fall of 1895, Pope Leo
-    XIII made Mr. Kenedy a publisher to the Holy See, in New York. He
-    leaves a widow, three sons and four daughters.
-
-  MOORE, COL. O’BRIEN, born in Ireland; died in Tucson, Ariz., August
-    26, 1906. A life member of the Society. At the time of his death he
-    was general manager of the Citizen Printing and Publishing Co.,
-    Tucson, controlling a valuable newspaper plant and issuing a daily
-    and weekly. He was a man of great brilliancy. On the breaking out of
-    the war with Spain, he entered the service as lieutenant-colonel of
-    the Second West Virginia Infantry. After a year’s service, and peace
-    being declared with Spain, he became lieutenant-colonel of United
-    States Volunteers for the operations in the Philippines, where he
-    served for eighteen months, until his regiment was mustered out. He
-    then settled in Tucson. He was a newspaper man of much ability and
-    experience. Some of his early newspaper career was spent in Houston,
-    Tex., on the _Post_, of which journal he became managing editor. He
-    was later managing editor of the St. Louis _Republic_, and was also
-    Washington correspondent for that paper at Washington, D. C.
-
-  MCCALL, JOHN A., born in Albany, N. Y., 1849; died at Lakewood, N. J.,
-    February 18, 1906. He became clerk in the Albany State Currency
-    Assorting House; was later in the service of the Connecticut Mutual
-    Life Insurance Co. until 1869; served in the New York state
-    insurance department as clerk, 1869–’76; was deputy superintendent,
-    1876–’83; superintendent of insurance of New York, 1883–’86;
-    comptroller Equitable Life Assurance Society, 1887–’92, and was
-    later president of the New York Life Insurance Co. He was a life
-    member of the Society.
-
-  O’FLYNN, REV. DENIS P., born in County Cork, Ireland, 1847; died in
-    New York City, August 22, 1906. He was educated at St. Colman’s
-    College, Fermoy, and then spent two years in study in Paris. He
-    entered Louvain University, Belgium, and obtained the degree of
-    doctor of theology. Returning to Paris, he was ordained to the
-    priesthood and then came to America. He was eventually made vicar
-    apostolic to the Bahamas. He became rector of St. Mary’s Church,
-    Saugerties, N. Y., and for fifteen years, up to the time of his
-    death, was rector of St. Joseph’s Church, New York City.
-
-  QUINLAN, COL. JAMES, born in Ireland, 1843; died in New York City,
-    August 29, 1906. He came to this country when he was but seventeen
-    years of age. He became a first lieutenant in the Sixty-ninth New
-    York Regiment, and, in 1861, went with it to Washington, D. C. He
-    was mustered out the following year, and joined the Eighty-eighth
-    New York Volunteers, which was part of Meagher’s famous Irish
-    Brigade. For conspicuous bravery at Savage Station, in June, 1862,
-    Colonel Quinlan subsequently received the United States medal of
-    honor.
-
-  SULLIVAN, PATRICK F., born in County Kerry, Ireland; died in Boston,
-    Mass., July 18, 1906. He came to Boston, Mass., when he was about
-    sixteen years of age. Obtaining employment in a clothing store at
-    the North End, his first venture in life’s struggle was made. Later
-    he took a position with the house of Leonard & Co., brokers in
-    furniture and auctioneers. Succeeding years found him connected with
-    Libbie, dealer in rare books, and he continued in this business
-    under the title of Sullivan Bros. & Libbie until the early eighties,
-    when he took premises in School Street, Boston, under the name
-    Sullivan & McDonald, and later Sullivan Brothers, auctioneers. As
-    one of the principal assessors of the City of Boston, he established
-    a reputation for skill and judgment which caused his opinion to be
-    sought and followed without hesitation. His generous, charitable
-    nature and his devotion to religion, as well as his broad, practical
-    mind, is shown in the following disposition of his fortune in public
-    benefactions. By the first clause of the will, the testator gives to
-    his sister, Catherine A. Sullivan, $30,000 as a preferred legacy,

-    Cod, Mass. His early love for the sea was gratified later in life
-    when he became captain of some of the finest deep-water ships
-    sailing from Baltimore, Boston and elsewhere. His first command was
-    the bark _May Queen_, a regular Baltimore and Rio packet, 1872. He
-    then had command of the ship Pilgrim of Boston, and made several
-    voyages to the East Indies. In 1884 he was given command of the
-    _Charger_, a larger and finer ship than the _Pilgrim_, and sailed to
-    ports in Japan. He next had command of the _South American_, “the
-    Commodore’s ship,” of the Hastings fleet (Boston), and took her to
-    Australia and other parts. He made several record voyages during his
-    career, and some of these records still stand, having never been
-    equalled. On one occasion he was wrecked off the coast of Africa; he
-    and his wife upon being rescued were hospitably entertained by the
-    Boers of the adjacent country. Returning to East Dennis, Mass., his
-    wife’s health became poor and so he removed with her to Coronado,
-    Cal., hoping that the change of climate would benefit her, but she
-    died in 1901. She had accompanied her husband on several of his
-    voyages, and had with him visited many parts of the world. Captain
-    Connolly has written much and entertainingly. He has at present in
-    manuscript form a novel of ocean life entitled _The Magic of the
-    Sea_.

-
-  =Doyle, John F.=, of John F. Doyle & Sons, 45 William Street, New York
-    City. (Life member of the Society.) Mr. Doyle is the senior member
-    of the real estate firm of John F. Doyle & Sons. He was born in New
-    York City, 1837, a son of James Doyle who participated in the Irish
-    revolution of 1798 and who came to the United States early in 1806.
-    This James Doyle, the immigrant, had a son who was killed in the
-    Florida war of 1837, and a grandson who fell in 1861, fighting for
-    the Union. John F. Doyle, the subject of this sketch and member of
-    the Society, entered the law office of Alexander Hamilton, grandson
-    of the first secretary of the treasury, afterwards the firm of
-    Hamilton, Rives & Rogers, and remained with them from 1853 to 1869,
-    in the meantime studying law and being admitted to the bar in 1862.
-    Alexander Hamilton, Francis R. Rives, a son of William C. Rives, of
-    Virginia, at one time minister to France and senator, and Nathaniel
-    Pendleton Rogers, all of the old Revolutionary stock, were members
-    of the firm. Mr. Doyle’s management of some Wall Street properties
-    for them at this period became so conspicuous that he was urged by
-    them to assume the management of their estates, which he did.
-    Shortly afterwards followed the acquisition of the estates of such
-    well-known people as Mrs. Harriet L. Langdon, granddaughter-in-law
-    of the first John Jacob Astor, John Pyne March, Mrs. Morgan L.
-    Livingston, George L. Schuyler, James M. Pendleton, A. Newbold
-    Morris, James H. Jones, John Steward, Jr., Royal Phelps, deceased,
-    Royal Phelps Carroll, Robert S. Minturn, estate of Gertrude L.
-    Lowndes, deceased, William H. King, of Newport, R. I., and others
-    too numerous to mention in detail. A feature of his career as a
-    successful manager lies in the fact that the business associations
-    and connections formed by him in the beginning are still held
-    intact. Among the notable sales made by him are those from William
-    H. Morris to John Jacob Astor in 1880, conveying 150 acres of lots
-    in the twenty-third ward on and adjacent to Harlem River; the great
-    sale of South Brooklyn lots at Gowanus Bay in 1884. Mr. Doyle
-    represents today the same old and well-known families and estates
-    represented by him fifty-four years ago. During his career Mr. Doyle
-    has met and done business with some of the most notable men
-    connected with the families notable in American History, such as
-    three of the four sons of the first Alexander Hamilton, Admiral
-    Farragut, Capt. Percival Drayton, Rawlins Lowndes, of South
-    Carolina, William C. Rives, U. S. senator from Virginia, at one time
-    minister to France, George L. Schuyler, grandson of Philip Schuyler
-    and owner of the famous yacht _America_, Philip Schuyler, his son,
-    Henry Grinnell of Arctic fame, Robert J. and Mortimer Livingston,
-    Hon. John Lee Carroll, Commodore Wm. K. Vanderbilt, and scores of
-    others equally well known, besides representing branches now of four
-    lineal descendants of signers of the Declaration of Independence.
-    His two sons, Col. John F. Doyle, Jr., and Alfred L. Doyle, have
-    been with him in business for years past and all three enjoy an
-    enviable reputation for integrity, ability and prudence in all their
-    undertakings.

-  =Hanrahan, John D.= (M. D.), Rutland, Vt., a native of County
-    Limerick, Ireland; was graduated in medicine from the University of
-    the City of New York, 1867; in June, 1861, he was, on examination
-    (not having graduated), appointed surgeon in the United States Navy,
-    and served through the entire Civil War. The vessels on which he
-    served did duty mostly on the rivers of Virginia and North Carolina,
-    where he served with the army as well as the navy, thereby having
-    the benefit and experience of both branches of the service,
-    especially in the surgical line. In August, 1863, the vessel on
-    which he was serving was captured at the mouth of the Rappahannock
-    River and all on board made prisoners. They were taken overland to
-    Richmond where they were confined in Libby Prison. At that time the
-    Confederates were very short of surgeons and medical supplies, and
-    he was asked if he would go over to Belle Island and attend the
-    Union prisoners. After consulting his fellow-prisoners he consented,
-    and for six weeks he attended the sick and wounded Union prisoners
-    faithfully, under very great disadvantages, as the appliances were
-    very limited. After that he was paroled. While a prisoner of war he
-    was treated with the greatest courtesy and consideration by the
-    medical staff and officers of the Confederacy. After the close of
-    the war he was settled in New York City, but for nearly forty years
-    has been a resident of Rutland, Vt. He was town and city physician
-    of Rutland for many years. He was appointed surgeon of the Third
-    Vermont Regiment, 1871, by Governor Stewart; was the first president
-    of the Rutland County Medical and Surgical Society; has been a
-    director and consulting surgeon of the Rutland (Vt.) Hospital;
-    consulting surgeon to the Fanny Allen Hospital, Winooski, Vt.; a
-    member of the Vermont Sanitary Association, and a member of the
-    Vermont Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis; president of
-    Rutland Village two years and trustee eight years; county
-    commissioner one year; president, United States pension examining
-    board four years under President Cleveland, and president of the
-    same board four years under President Harrison. He was postmaster of
-    Rutland during the second term of President Cleveland. He has since
-    its organization been an active member of the G. A. R.; surgeon of
-    Roberts Post, the largest in Vermont; has served three terms as
-    medical director of the Department; served on the staffs of three
-    commanders-in-chief—Veasy, Palmer and Weissert; a member of
-    Commander-in-Chief Stewart’s staff. Doctor Hanrahan is the author of
-    several medical papers, has performed many surgical operations, and
-    has served through several epidemics of smallpox and diphtheria. He
-    was a delegate to the Democratic National conventions of 1884, 1888,
-    and chairman of the Vermont delegation to the National Convention of
-    1892. Also a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in St.

-  =Kelly, Eugene=, Templecourt Building, New York City.
-
-  =Kelly, John Forrest= (Ph. D.), Pittsfield, Mass.; born near
-    Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland. He was educated in Stevens Institute of
-    Technology, Hoboken, N. J., received the degree of B. L. in 1878,
-    and that of Ph. D. in 1881. His first occupation was as assistant to
-    Thomas A. Edison, in Menlo Park laboratory, his work then
-    principally relating to the chemistry of rare earths. Late in 1879
-    Mr. Kelly became electrical engineer of the New York branch of the
-    Western Electric Company. This was the time when the telephone was
-    being generally introduced, and when dynamos were being first
-    applied to telegraphic purposes. In the construction and installment
-    of instruments for telegraphy and telephones and of such measuring
-    instruments as were then known, Mr. Kelly received a thorough
-    training. In 1882 he became laboratory assistant to Edward Weston,
-    then chief electrician of the United States Electric Lighting
-    Company, and, with the exception of a year which he spent in
-    connection with the Remingtons, Mr. Kelly continued his association
-    with Mr. Weston until July, 1886. Some of the most important work,
-    such as the research which ended in the discovery of high resistance
-    alloys of very low or even negative temperature co-efficients, were
-    substantially carried out by Mr. Kelly under general directions from
-    Mr. Weston, whom Mr. Kelly succeeded as chief electrician of the
-    United States Electric Lighting Company, which, in 1889, passed to
-    the Westinghouse interests; but Mr. Kelly retained his position as
-    chief electrician until January, 1892, when he resigned to join
-    William Stanley in experimental work. The work done by Mr. Kelly, in
-    this connection, gave a great impetus to the alternating current
-    business. Mr. Kelly’s inventive work is partially represented by
-    eighty patents. The art of building transformers and generators of
-    alternating currents was revolutionized, and Mr. Kelly and his
-    colleagues were the first to put polyphase motors into actual
-    commercial service. That success naturally led to long-distance
-    transmission work, and the first long-distance transmission plants
-    in California (indeed the first in the world), were undertaken on
-    Mr. Kelly’s recommendation and advice. He was the first to make an
-    hysteretically stable steel, a matter of vastly more importance than
-    the comparatively spectacular transmission work. Mr. Kelly at
-    present occupies the position of president of the John F. Kelly
-    Engineering Company, president of the Cokel Company and president of
-    the Telelectric Company, as well as president of the Conchas River
-    Power Company and director of the Southwestern Exploration Company.
-    The Cokel Company is organized to exploit the invention of Mr. E. W.
-    Cooke, by means of which foodstuffs may be perfectly dehydrated,
-    losing on the average ninety per cent. in weight. Foods dehydrated
-    by this process, although free from all chemical preservatives, are
-    entirely stable, and yet preserve their pristine freshness through
-    extremes of temperature, and when served are indistinguishable from
-    fresh foods of the ordinary type. The Telelectric Company is
-    organized for the manufacture of electric piano players, which are
-    either entirely automatic or entirely controllable at will. Mr.
-    Kelly was married to Miss Helen Fischer, in New York City, in 1892,
-    and they have two children—Eoghan and Domnall. Mr. Kelly is a
-    thorough and unswerving Irish Nationalist, and his splendid
-    generosity to the cause is well known.

-    (Caldwell) McGowan. He was educated in the public schools of
-    Philadelphia, Pa., 1848–’53, and in private schools in Elizabeth, N.
-    J., 1854–’59. Entering the navy, he was appointed acting master’s
-    mate, March 8, 1862; was promoted to acting master May 8, 1862, and
-    ordered to command the U. S. S. _Wyandank_ in the Potomac flotilla.
-    He served on the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers until February,
-    1863, when he was detached from the _Wyandank_ and ordered to the
-    _Florida_ as navigator. He served on the _Florida_ in the blockade
-    off Wilmington, N. C., until October, 1864, when the ship went to
-    New York for repairs. In November, of the same year, he was detached
-    from the _Florida_ and ordered to the U. S. S. _State of Georgia_ as
-    navigator; arrived off Wilmington, N. C., the day after the capture
-    of Fort Fisher, his ship being then ordered to reinforce the fleet
-    off Charleston, S. C. While there he took part in the Bulls Bay
-    Expedition, which was one of the causes of the evacuation of
-    Charleston by the Confederates. Soon after the evacuation, the
-    _State of Georgia_ was ordered to Aspinwall (Colon) to protect
-    American interests on the Isthmus of Panama. Before sailing for
-    Aspinwall, McGowan succeeded Lieutenant Manly as executive officer

-    Commander Roe, fitting out for duty in the Gulf Squadron. He was at
-    Vera Cruz nearly all the summer of 1867, which witnessed the fall of
-    Maximilian’s empire. After the death of Maximilian, and the
-    surrender of Vera Cruz to the Liberals, the _Tacony_ returned to
-    Pensacola, Fla., but yellow fever breaking out aboard the ship, went
-    to Portsmouth, N. H., where, after undergoing quarantine, the
-    officers were detached and ordered to their homes the latter part of
-    September, 1867. In October of the same year, McGowan was ordered to
-    duty on board the receiving ship at the Philadelphia navy yard. He
-    commanded the U. S. S. _Constellation_ there, and was afterward
-    executive officer of the frigate _Potomac_, also a receiving ship,
-    at Philadelphia. In March, 1868, while on the _Potomac_, he received
-    a commission as master in the regular navy, and in October, 1868,
-    was ordered to duty with the Asiatic fleet. On reporting to the
-    admiral, he was ordered to duty as executive officer of the U. S. S.
-    _Unadilla_; succeeded to the command of the _Unadilla_ in June,
-    1869, and in November of that year was detached from the _Unadilla_
-    and ordered to the U. S. S. _Iroquois_; returned in her to the
-    United States, the ship going out of commission in April, 1870. In
-    April, 1870, he was promoted to be lieutenant-commander and while in
-    that grade served on the double-turreted monitor _Terror_, the
-    _Wachusetts_, _Juniata_ and _Marion_ as executive officer, and at
-    the League Island, Philadelphia and Brooklyn navy yards. In January,
-    1887, he was promoted to commander; commanded the _Swatara_, _St.
-    Mary’s_, _Portsmouth_ and _Alliance_, and was also commandant of the
-    naval training station at Newport, R. I., from December, 1896, to
-    July, 1899. He was promoted captain, February, 1899, and in August
-    took command of the U. S. S. _Monadnock_ at Manila. In November,
-    1900, he was ordered to duty as commandant of the naval station at
-    Key West, Fla. In April, 1901, he was detached and ordered before
-    the retiring board. He was retired, with the rank of rear admiral,
-    in April, 1901. He resides in Washington, D. C., and is held in very
-    high regard. In October, 1871, he wedded Evelyn Manderson of
-    Philadelphia. Admiral McGowan is a member of the Military Order of
-    the Loyal Legion, of the Order of Foreign Wars, the Sons of the
-    Revolution, and of the Society of Marine Engineers and Naval
-    Architects. He is also a member of the following clubs: the

-    lieutenant in the revenue cutter service by President Andrew
-    Jackson. He was at Charleston, S. C., during the nullification
-    period, served in the Seminole War, in the War with Mexico, and in

-    Banking Co. of Gainesville; alternate commissioner to World’s Fair,
-    Chicago, Ill., 1893; vice-president for Georgia, American Bankers’
-    Association. Colonel Sanders is of Irish and English ancestry. On
-    the maternal side he is descended from Thomas and Theodosia M.
-    Smyth, who emigrated from Ireland in 1793, landing in Charleston, S.
-    C. They settled in Jones County, Ga. Thomas died November 28, 1799.
-    On the paternal side Colonel Sanders is a descendant of Rev. Moses
-    Sanders, who emigrated from England, with two brothers, John and
-    David, and arrived in Petersburg, Va., 1765. They embraced the
-    patriotic cause in the Revolution and were active in operations
-    against the British. Colonel Sanders, the subject of this sketch,
-    graduated from the Georgia Military Institute, in June, 1861;
-    entered the Confederate service; was made lieutenant-colonel of the
-    Twenty-fourth Regiment of Infantry, Georgia Volunteers, August,
-    1861; served under General Lee in the Peninsular campaign, in the
-    seven days’ battles around Richmond, Va., and was among the bravest
-    of the brave; commanded his regiment at Malvern Hill and at Marye’s
-    Heights, Fredericksburg, where the Twenty-fourth was a part of the
-    Confederate forces that received the valorous charges of Meagher’s
-    Irish Brigade. He also commanded the regiment at the battles of
-    Chancellorsville and Antietam, at which latter conflict he was
-    placed in command of Wofford’s Brigade. While in this position he
-    met a bayonet charge from the Federals by a counter bayonet charge,
-    and in the desperate fighting that ensued, fifty-eight per cent. of
-    Sanders’ heroic force was swept away. Colonel Sanders also led the
-    Twenty-fourth at Cedar Creek, Chickamauga, Knoxville, the
-    Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, and Sailor’s Creek. On April
-    6, 1865, Ewell’s Corps, to which Colonel Sanders’ regiment was then
-    attached, was captured, and Colonel Sanders was sent as a prisoner
-    of war to Washington, D. C. Writing of Meagher’s Irish Brigade,
-    Colonel Sanders says: “I was in command of the Twenty-fourth Georgia
-    Regiment, with other troops, at the foot of Marye’s Heights,
-    receiving the five heroic and gallant charges of the Irish Brigade,
-    whose prodigies of valor have filled the country with admiration. I
-    saw the devoted Irish charge up to our breastworks, to be mowed down
-    by a line of Confederate fire that no soldiers could withstand. I
-    saw the Irish battalions cut down like grain before the reaper, yet
-    the survivors would magnificently close up their ranks only to have
-    huge gaps again cut through them. When forced back they rallied and
-    came bravely on again, only to be riddled with bullets and torn by
-    artillery. Their fifth charge was made with greatly decimated ranks
-    that slowly recoiled like the waves of a tempestuous sea. When
-    twilight descended upon the scene, a spectacle was presented
-    unequaled in warfare. At least three fourths of my command was
-    composed of men of Irish descent and knew that the gallant dead in
-    our front were our kindred of the land beyond the sea. When, one by
-    one, the stars came out that night, many tears were shed by Southern
-    Confederate eyes for the heroic Federal Irish dead.” During the war
-    Colonel Sanders was offered the rank of brigadier-general but
-    declined the same.

-
-  GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
-
-
-The Society was organized on January 20, 1897, in Boston, Mass., and now
-has members in many states, the District of Columbia, one territory and
-three foreign countries.
-
-Briefly stated, the object of the organization is to make better known
-the Irish chapter in American history.
-
-There are two classes of members in the organization,—Life and Annual.
-The life membership fee is $50 (paid once). The fee for annual members
-is $5, paid yearly. In the case of new annual members, the initiation
-fee, $5, also pays the membership dues for the first year.
-
-The board of government comprises a president-general, a
-vicepresident-general, a secretary-general, a treasurer-general, a
-librarian and archivist, and an executive council. There are also state
-vice-presidents.
-
-The Society has already issued several bound volumes and a number of
-other publications. These have been distributed to the members and to
-public libraries; also to historical organizations and to universities.
-Each member of the Society is entitled, free of charge, to a copy of
-every publication issued from the time of his admittance. These
-publications are of great interest and value, and are more than an
-equivalent for the membership fee.
-
-The Society draws no lines of creed or politics. Being an American
-organization in spirit and principle, it welcomes to its ranks Americans
-of whatever race descent, and of whatever creed, who take an interest in
-the objects for which the Society is organized. Membership application
-blanks will be furnished on request.
-
-The membership includes many people of prominence, and has been
-addressed by many distinguished men. It occupies a position in the front
-rank of American historical organizations.

-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<p class='c006'>This is the sixth volume of the <span class='sc'>Journal</span> of the Society. It continues
-the series so auspiciously begun years ago and which has been
-added to annually. These six volumes represent a great amount of
-work and contain a vast deal of historical material relative to the
-Irish element in the composition of the American people. As we
-progress with our researches, even we ourselves are quite astonished
-at the facts brought to light, facts showing in a far greater degree
-than anticipated, how tremendously important was the part taken
-by the Irish element in American colonial life and in the early and
-subsequent career of the republic itself. The present volume sets
-forth much matter of interest and value in this regard, and is in
-every way a worthy companion for the volumes of the <span class='sc'>Journal</span>
-that have preceded it.</p>

-  <h2 id='THE' class='c005'>THE ANNUAL MEETING AND DINNER, A. D. 1906.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>The annual meeting and dinner of the Society took place at the
-Hotel Manhattan, 42d Street and Madison Avenue, New York City,
-on Thursday evening, January 18, 1906. Preceding the meeting a
-reception was held, during which the members and guests from various
-cities and states exchanged greetings and congratulated each
-other upon the continued success of the organization.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The annual meeting was called to order by Hon. John D. Crimmins
-of New York City, president-general of the Society.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Thomas Hamilton Murray of Boston, Mass., secretary-general of
-the organization, recorded the minutes of the meeting.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Mr. Crimmins delivered an address of welcome and felicitated the
-Society upon its usefulness and good work in the cause of historical
-truth.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>It was voted that, in order to save time, the reading of the records
-of the preceding meeting be omitted.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The annual reports of the secretary-general and the treasurer-general
-were then presented, and were accepted and adopted.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Appropriate action was taken on members of the Society who had
-died during the year.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Mr. Edward J. McGuire of New York City, paid an eloquent
-tribute to the late Francis C. Travers of the Society. Mr. Travers
-was one of the leading New York members of the organization and
-always took an active interest in advancing its interests and welfare.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The list of officers nominated by the executive council to serve the
-Society for the ensuing year, was presented and was unanimously
-elected, the secretary-general being authorized to cast one ballot for
-the same. (The ticket is set forth on pages <a href='#Page_5'>5</a> and <a href='#Page_6'>6</a> of this volume.)</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Upon the result of the election being announced, Hon. Franklin
-M. Danaher of Albany, N. Y., the newly-chosen vice-president-general,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_8'>8</span>took the chair, in the absence of Admiral McGowan, the new
-president-general.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Judge Danaher thanked the members for the honor bestowed upon
-him, and delivered a brief address along the Society’s line of work.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>During the meeting attention was called to the movement to erect a
-monument in Washington, D. C., to Commodore John Barry, and the
-active interest of the members of the Society was urged in behalf of
-the project.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>After thanks had been extended the retiring officers for their services
-to the Society, several new members were elected and the meeting
-adjourned.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c008'><span class='sc'>The Annual Dinner.</span></h3>
-
-<p class='c010'>Upon the adjournment of the business meeting, the members and
-guests proceeded to the banquet hall of the Manhattan for the
-annual dinner. Judge Danaher presided and seated on his right and
-left, among others, were: the retiring president-general, Hon. John
-D. Crimmins; Hon. Joseph T. Lawless of Norfolk, Va.; Michael
-F. Dooley, of the Union Trust Company, Providence, R. I.; Hon.
-John Hannan, mayor of Ogdensburg, N. Y.; Hon. John F. Finerty,
-Chicago, Ill., and other prominent gentlemen.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>After grace had been said, the company began a practical discussion
-of the elaborate menu prepared for the occasion. Among those
-present were the following:</p>

-<p class='c007'>The after-dinner exercises were of unusual interest, Judge Danaher

-the program being most enjoyable.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The leading paper of the evening was by Hon. Joseph T. Lawless
-of Norfolk, Va., whose subject was “Gen. Daniel Morgan of the
-Revolution.” It was a very able production and was highly appreciated.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Willis B. Dowd of New York City, read a paper on the “Early
-Irish Settlers of North Carolina,” showing much research on his
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_11'>11</span>part, and being a valuable contribution to the historical papers of
-the Society.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>There were also addresses by Hon. John F. Finerty of Chicago,
-Ill., and by other gentlemen.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The evening’s exercises likewise included solo and chorus singing,
-with orchestral accompaniment, the selections including “The Star

-
-<div class='chapter'>
-  <span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>
-  <h2 id='ADDRESS' class='c005'>ADDRESS TO THE SOCIETY BY PRESIDENT-GENERAL McGOWAN.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>The following address was issued early in the year by President-General
-McGowan:</p>
-
-<p class='c012'><em>To the Members of the American-Irish Historical Society</em>:</p>
-
-<p class='c013'><span class='sc'>Gentlemen</span>: Permit me to express my gratitude for the honor
-you have done me in electing me to be your president-general for the
-ensuing year. I accept the office, and will discharge its duties and
-responsibilities to the utmost of my ability.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>To be the official head of a society such as ours is a position any
-man, no matter how exalted his place in life, should be proud to
-hold. My distinguished predecessors in the office—Meade, Moseley,
-Gargan, Crimmins, McAdoo—have ably presided over the Society’s
-affairs in the past and have reflected honor upon the organization, as
-honor has been reflected upon them in virtue of their being chosen
-to that high station.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>The American-Irish Historical Society is now in its tenth year of
-existence. It has accomplished a vast amount of good, and the
-practical work it has so abundantly performed is of permanent value
-and utility. No organization was more needed and none has a
-broader or more glorious field in which to work.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>The Irish chapter in American history is one of the most important
-and interesting in our career as a nation. It was a strong and important
-chapter in America for even a century before we became a
-nation, and has gone on increasing in importance and potency, in
-value and interest, as generation has succeeded generation, until
-today it stands unsurpassed in the respects mentioned.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>As John Boyle O’Reilly once wrote,</p>
-
-<div class='lg-container-b c014'>
-  <div class='linegroup'>
-    <div class='group'>
-      <div class='line'>We slight no true devotion, steal no fame</div>
-      <div class='line'>From other shrines to gild the Pilgrims’ name.</div>
-    </div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c012'>So I may say, we rob no race to gild the Irish name when we undertake
-to unearth the records of the past, showing what the Irish element
-has accomplished in the early colonial periods and in later
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>periods when the republic was forming and had become a fact. We
-merely wish to claim, assert and set forth the credit which to us
-belongs, for the part that men and women of Irish blood took in
-bringing about the reign of liberty and freedom we now enjoy.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>Toward people of all other race elements in the make-up of
-the American people—English, French, Dutch, German, etc., by
-whatever name they may be known or from whatever land they or
-their ancestors may have come—we entertain good will and desire
-them to have such meed of credit and of praise as to them belongs.
-We do not wish to praise ourselves by “masquerading in borrowed
-plumes,” nor have we any desire to detract one iota from the credit
-that is honestly that of others.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>But the credit that is ours we demand and shall insist upon possessing.
-Our mission is “To make better known the Irish chapter in
-American history.” That brief statement of our principles conveys
-in a very few words our exact reason for existence as a society.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>We are an American historical organization devoted to a work that
-shall place the Irish element in this great republic in its proper and
-merited position before the American people of which we constitute
-no small part, and which shall, at the same time, reflect glory upon
-the Irish fatherland. Our Society rests upon a generous basis. Its
-founders builded wisely and for the perpetuation of the heroic deeds
-of the past. I trust these founders will long be honored by every
-member of the organization.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>Reviewing the work thus far accomplished by the Society, I am
-prompted to say a few words: With very limited financial means,
-we have, nevertheless, produced five handsome volumes of the <span class='sc'>Journal</span>
-of the organization, two other volumes of great merit and a number
-of extremely interesting pamphlets. Copies of these publications
-have been placed in the leading libraries of the country, where they
-have been cordially welcomed. Our publications are in the libraries
-of such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell,
-Georgetown, Princeton, and other great universities, where they
-are having an excellent influence.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>Here in Washington our publications are in the library of Congress,
-in that of the George Washington University, in the Catholic
-University and in the newly-established Trinity College for young
-women. The United States Military Academy at West Point also has
-our works on its shelves, as has the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_14'>14</span>From many leading historical societies come reports of our publications
-being received by them.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>Many of the great public libraries—North, South, East and West
-are in receipt of the works issued by our Society, and the same are in
-constant demand for consultation and reference. Among these public
-libraries are those of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston,
-Chicago, Troy, Rochester, Oswego, Buffalo, Detroit, Milwaukee,
-Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco and other cities.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>This is practical work. I know of no other society that in so
-short a time has done so much of real, lasting value as has ours.
-Indeed, when we consider all the circumstances, we have done astonishingly
-well. Many societies hoary with age, in the possession of
-plethoric treasuries, and constantly receiving large bequests, have
-done no better, if as well, from a practical viewpoint.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>Our Society is fortunate in having an indefatigable secretary, who
-from the start has worked in season and out of season to advance the
-interests of the organization. A competent secretary is a priceless
-possession for any society, and we have been especially fortunate in
-this respect.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>The Hon. John D. Crimmins of New York City, my immediate
-predecessor in the office of president-general, has always been ready
-with purse, services and hospitality to forward the interests of the Society,
-and under his administration the organization has made splendid
-progress. Owing to his initiative, a movement has just been started
-to raise a permanent fund of $10,000 for the organization. This is
-good news, indeed, and I have no doubt the amount will be speedily
-raised. With a substantial fund such as this back of it, the Society
-will be enabled to be of even greater service in the future than it
-has in the past.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>The salient work of the organization must be its publications.
-The more we have of these the better for the cause we have at heart.
-While a dinner, now and then, is desirable, the organization must
-never deteriorate into a mere dining club. Too many societies,
-started with the most comprehensive program, have done this and
-lost sight of their original purposes. Our Society differs from others
-in that it is established for historical purposes, to make original
-research into the records and documents of the past and to place the
-result of its researches in permanent, tangible form. Careful and
-frequent publications will enable us to do this.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'><span class='pageno' id='Page_15'>15</span>A great deal depends upon the continued issuance of the annual
-volume of the <span class='sc'>Journal</span> of our Society. That work has thus far
-been, and will continue to be, of the greatest possible utility. It
-gives the Society a recognized standing in the community that would
-be difficult to obtain by any other means. Its advent, year by year,
-therefore, is of prime importance.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>Speaking incidentally, I may say that I would like to see special
-attention given during the year to a study of the material bearing
-upon the reputed voyages to these shores of the Irish missionary,
-Brendan. These voyages, attributed to a period many centuries preceding
-Christopher Columbus, appear to be fully as well authenticated
-as those of the Northmen to Vinland. Indeed, the Norse
-sagas mention remote Irish comers to these shores and duly credit
-a land here once known as Great Ireland. De Roo, in his recent
-work, the <cite>History of America Before Columbus</cite>, goes into this subject
-in a very entertaining manner. As a rule, our school text-books on
-history, while accepting implicitly the narratives relative to the
-Northmen and Vinland, find no room in their pages to even allude
-to Brendan and his voyages, although, as I have intimated, the latter
-seem to rest upon as secure an historical basis as the former. Mr.
-Justin Winsor and other distinguished writers, however, make special
-mention of the subject and treat the latter with respect.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>The history of the early Irish in Virginia is also deserving of our
-special attention. Irish names are found in the Old Dominion prior
-to the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, while in the Plymouth
-colony itself, Governor Bradford tells us, numbers of Irish
-arrived a few years after the coming of the <em>Mayflower</em>. The war
-against the Indian king, Philip, 1675–’76, found Irish enlisted on
-the side of the colonists, showing that at that period sons of old
-Hibernia were numerous and active here. These and other early
-periods and movements furnish our Society ample material for consideration.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>As American history progresses, the material increases in volume
-and is greatly multiplied as the Revolution eventuates. But these
-facts are well known to you and require no lengthy narrative of
-detail on my part. I merely briefly refer to them in order, by way of
-review, to indicate the abundance of material awaiting development
-at our hands.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>I am delighted with the project now under way by the Society to
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>erect a bronze tablet in the Rhode Island state capitol to the memory
-of Maj.-Gen. John Sullivan. The idea is a most felicitous one and
-deserves the heartiest commendation. Sullivan was one of the
-great soldiers of the Revolution. The placing of the forthcoming
-tablet will be a merited tribute to his patriotism and military skill
-while in command of the Rhode Island department and during the
-entire period of the war.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>There are many other great Americans of Irish blood who deserve
-like honors, and doubtless the Society will, from time to time, erect
-tablets to their memory or commemorate them in some other worthy
-manner. The suggestion that the occasion of the dedication of the
-Sullivan tablet be made a field day by the Society is a happy one, and
-will, I trust, be fully carried out.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>As our Society grows in numbers and prosperity, the question of
-permanent headquarters will demand consideration. Books and
-pamphlets will accumulate by gift or purchase and a place will be
-needed where these can be displayed for consultation by the members
-and others engaged in historical research. Where these headquarters
-shall be located is a subject for future action. A number of
-cities are deserving of consideration. In many respects, Washington,
-the national capital, would be the ideal place, while, New York,
-Boston, Philadelphia and other cities, also present special advantages.
-But this whole matter can be fully considered at some future
-time.</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>The Society recalls with pleasure its visit to Washington a few
-years ago, when it was cordially received at the White House by our

-
-<p class='c006'>A brilliant event under the patronage of the Society took place in
-New York City on April 26, 1906. The occasion was a reception
-to Admiral John McGowan, U. S. N., the newly-elected president-general.
-The exercises took place in the residence of the Hon.
-John D. Crimmins, and will long be remembered by the large
-assemblage participating. Admiral McGowan resides in Washington,
-D. C., and the reception was held in order to give him and the
-members of the Society an opportunity to exchange mutual greetings.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The reception was participated in by judges, prominent clergymen,
-distinguished members of the medical, law, journalistic and
-other professions, as well as by leading bankers and gentlemen
-prominent in mercantile life.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Admiral McGowan received in the magnificent drawing-room of
-Mr. Crimmins’ home, the introductions being made by Mr. Crimmins,
-who was assisted by Thomas Hamilton Murray of Boston,
-the national secretary of the Society.</p>

-<p class='c007'>The company inspected Mr. Crimmins’ splendid library and his

-
-<p class='c007'>Among the Washington letters was one in which the father of his
-country mentions his contemplated purchase of an Irish wolfdog, on
-the recommendation of Lafayette. In a letter by Andrew Jackson
-occurs this sentence: “For you know my parents were Irish.” This
-very effectually disposes of those who have classed Jackson as
-“Scotch-Irish.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_20'>20</span>Attention was called to Cyrus Townsend Brady’s new work, <cite>The

-by Mr. Crimmins himself, entitled <cite>Irish-American Historical Miscellany</cite>,
-which has recently been brought out. It is a volume of
-some five hundred pages and is replete with interesting data.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>After the exercises in the drawing-room, lunch was served, and

-1905.)</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>The horrors of the <em>Jersey</em> prison ship have often been told. The
-<em>Jersey</em> and other hulks, used by the British, were anchored near the
-Wallabout, Brooklyn, N. Y. Many thousands of prisoners perished
-on these ships by cruelty and disease. The conduct of their captors
-was inhumane and dastardly. It is not surprising, therefore, that
-the mortality was so great.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>William Burke, a prisoner aboard the <em>Jersey</em>, at one time, has left
-a record in which he states that he was confined on the ship fourteen
-months, and that he saw, among other cruelties, many American
-prisoners put to death by the bayonet. This cruel treatment was
-never relaxed by the English or Scots, but sometimes the more
-humane Hessians evinced pity for the unfortunate sufferers. Burke
-says:</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“During that period, among other cruelties which were committed,
-I have known many of the American prisoners put to death by the
-bayonet: in particular, I well recollect, that it was the custom on
-board the ship for but one prisoner at a time to be admitted on deck
-at night, besides the guards or sentinels. One night, while the prisoners
-were many of them assembled at the grate at the hatchway,
-for the purpose of obtaining fresh air, and waiting their turn to go
-on deck, one of the sentinels thrust his bayonet down among them,
-and in the morning twenty-five of them were found wounded, and
-stuck in the head, and dead of the wounds they had thus received. I
-further recollect that this was the case several mornings, when sometimes
-five, sometimes six, and sometimes eight or ten, were found
-dead by the same means.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>It is estimated that over eleven thousand prisoners perished, from
-all causes, aboard these ships during the Revolution. The dead
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_22'>22</span>would be carried ashore and carelessly buried in the sand, their
-bodies, in many cases, to be uncovered by returning tides. For many
-years after, the bones of these martyrs were visible along the shore.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>About 1801, John Jackson sold to the United States, through
-Francis Childs, a middleman, forty acres of the Wallabout for
-$40,000. About this time large numbers of Irish refugees arrived
-and located in New York and Brooklyn. They bought some land
-of Jackson at, or near, the Wallabout, the settlement being named
-“Vinegar Hill.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>During the summer of 1805, a Mr. Aycrigg, shocked at the
-exposed remains of the prison-ship victims, made a contract with an
-Irishman residing at Wallabout, to “collect all the human bones as
-far as may be without digging,” and deliver the same to him. This
-was done, and these bones were a portion of those interred in the
-vault patriotically erected by Tammany.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the patriots imprisoned aboard the <em>Jersey</em> were a great
-many Irish. In 1888, the Society of Old Brooklynites published a
-pamphlet dealing with the <em>Jersey</em>, and giving the names of several
-thousand persons who had been confined therein, many of whom
-perished. A copy of this pamphlet is in the possession of the New
-York Historical Society. From that authoritative source we have
-compiled the following list of patriots, bearing Irish names, who
-were confined on the <em>Jersey</em>:</p>

-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_27'>27</span>Many other Irish names could be added, but sufficient have been
-given to establish the fact that a large number of the sons of Erin
-were among those who suffered the rigors of the <em>Jersey</em> prison ship.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Capt. Thomas Dring, who was a prisoner aboard the <em>Jersey</em>, tells
-us in his <cite>Recollections</cite> many startling facts about that terrible
-ship. He says: “Silence was a stranger to our dark abode. There
-were continual noises during the night. The groans of the sick and
-dying; the curses poured out by the weary and exhausted upon our
-inhuman keepers; the restlessness caused by the suffocating heat and
-the confined and poisonous air, mingled with the wild and incoherent
-ravings of delirium, were the sounds which, every night, were raised
-around us in all directions.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>And another writer states that the lower hold, and the orlop deck,
-were such a terror that no man would venture down into them.
-Dysentery, smallpox and yellow fever broke out, and “while so many
-were sick with raging fever, there was a loud cry for water; but
-none could be had except on the upper deck, and but one was allowed
-to ascend at a time. The suffering then from the rage of thirst during
-the night, was very great. Nor was it at all times safe to attempt
-to go up. Provoked by the continual cry to be allowed to ascend,
-when there was already one on deck, the sentry would push them
-back with his bayonet.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Stiles in his <cite>History of the City of Brooklyn</cite>, narrates a scene that
-took place on the <em>Jersey</em>, July 4, 1782. He says: “A very serious
-conflict with the guard occurred&nbsp;... in consequence of the
-prisoners attempting to celebrate the day with such observances and
-amusements as their condition permitted. Upon going on deck in
-the morning, they displayed thirteen little national flags in a row
-upon the booms, which were immediately torn down and trampled
-under the feet of the guard, which on that day happened to consist
-of Scotchmen. Deigning no notice of this, the prisoners proceeded
-to amuse themselves with patriotic songs, speeches and cheers, all
-the while avoiding whatever could be construed into an intentional
-insult of the guard; which, however, at an unusually early hour in
-the afternoon, drove them below at the point of the bayonet, and
-closed the hatches. Between decks, the prisoners now continued
-their singing, etc., until about nine o’clock in the evening. An order
-to desist not having been promptly complied with, the hatches were
-suddenly removed and the guards descended among them, with lanterns
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_28'>28</span>and cutlasses in their hands. Then ensued a scene of terror.
-The helpless prisoners, retreating from the hatchways as far as their
-crowded condition would permit, were followed by the guards, who
-mercilessly hacked, cut, and wounded everyone within their reach;
-and then ascending again to the upper deck, fastened down the
-hatches upon the poor victims of their cruel rage, leaving them to
-languish through the long, sultry summer night, without water to
-cool their parched throats, and without lights by which they might
-have dressed their wounds. And to add to their torment, it was not
-until the middle of the next forenoon that the prisoners were allowed
-to go on deck and slake their thirst, or to receive their rations of
-food, which, that day, they were obliged to eat uncooked. <em>Ten
-corpses</em> were found below on the morning which succeeded that memorable
-fourth of July, and many others were badly wounded.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>An especially affecting incident is told regarding one prisoner,
-who died on the ship: “Two young men, brothers, belonging to a
-rifle corps, were made prisoners and sent on board the <em>Jersey</em>. The
-elder took the fever and, in a few days, became delirious. One night
-(his end was fast approaching) he became calm and sensible, and
-lamenting his hard fate and the absence of his mother, begged for a
-little water. His brother, with tears, entreated the guard to give
-him some, but in vain. The sick youth was soon in his last struggles,
-when his brother offered the guard a guinea for an inch of candle,
-only that he might see him die. Even this was denied. ‘Now,’
-said he, drying up his tears, ‘if it please God that I ever regain my
-liberty, I’ll be a most bitter enemy!’ He regained his liberty,
-rejoined the army, and when the war ended he had <em>eight large and
-one hundred and twenty-seven small</em> notches on his rifle stock.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The Pennsylvania <cite>Packet</cite>, September 4, 1781, published a letter
-from the <em>Jersey</em>, which said: “We bury six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
-and eleven men in a day; we have two hundred more sick and falling
-sick every day.” This will illustrate the terrible mortality aboard
-the ship.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In his <cite>Recollections of Brooklyn and New York in 1776</cite>, Johnson
-says of the prisoners dying on the <em>Jersey</em>: “It was no uncommon
-thing to see five or six dead bodies brought on shore in a single
-morning, when a small excavation would be dug at the foot of the
-hill, the bodies be thrown in and a man with a shovel would cover
-them by shovelling sand down the hill upon them. Many were
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_29'>29</span>buried in a ravine of the hill; some on the farm. The whole shore,
-from Rennie’s Point to Mr. Remsen’s dooryard was a place of
-graves; as were also the slope of the hill near the house&nbsp;...;
-the shore from Mr. Ramsen’s barn along the mill pond, to Rapelje’s,
-and the sandy island between the floodgates and the mill-dam, while
-a few were buried on the shore on the east side of the Wallabout.
-Thus did <em>Death</em> reign <em>here</em>, from 1776 until the peace. The whole
-Wallabout was a sickly place during the war. The atmosphere
-seemed to be charged with foul air from the prison ships, and with
-the effluvia of the dead bodies washed out of their graves by the
-tides. We believe that more than half of the dead buried on the
-outer side of the mill-pond, were washed out by the waves at high
-tide, during northeasterly winds. The bones of the dead lay exposed
-along the beach, drying and bleaching in the sun, and whitening the
-shore, till reached by the power of a succeeding storm; as the agitated
-waters receded, the bones receded with them into the deep....
-We have, ourselves, examined many of the skulls lying
-on the shore. From the teeth, they appeared to be the remains of
-men in the prime of life.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“The <em>Jersey</em> at length,” declares Stiles, “became so crowded, and
-the increase of disease among the prisoners so rapid, that even the
-hospital ships were inadequate for their reception. In this emergency,
-bunks were erected on the larboard side of the upper deck of
-the <em>Jersey</em> for the accommodation of the sick between decks. The
-horrors of the old hulk were now increased a hundred-fold. Foul
-air, confinement, darkness, hunger, thirst, the slow poison of the
-malarious locality in which the ship was anchored, the torments of
-vermin, the suffocating heat alternating with cold and, above all, the
-<em>almost total absence of hope</em>, performed their deadly work
-unchecked. ‘The whole ship, from her keel to the taffrail, was
-equally affected, and contained pestilence sufficient to desolate a
-world—disease and death were wrought into her very timbers.’”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“There was, indeed,” Stiles remarks, “one condition upon which
-these hapless sufferers might have escaped the torture of this slow but
-certain death, and that was enlistment into the British service. This
-chance was daily offered them by the recruiting officers who visited
-the ship, but their persuasions and offers were almost invariably
-treated with contempt, and that, too, by men who fully expected to
-die where they were. In spite of their untold physical sufferings,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_30'>30</span>which might well have shaken the resolution of the strongest; in
-spite of the insinuations of the British that they were neglected by
-their government—insinuations which seemed to be corroborated by
-the very facts of their condition; in defiance of threats of even
-harsher treatment, and regardless of promises of food and clothing—objects
-most tempting to men in their condition; but few, comparatively,
-sought relief from their woes by the betrayal of their honor.
-And these few went forth into liberty followed by the execrations
-and undisguised contempt of the suffering heroes whom they left
-behind. It was this calm, unfaltering, unconquerable spirit of
-patriotism—defying torture, starvation, loathsome disease, and the
-prospect of a neglected and forgotten grave—which sanctifies to
-every American heart the scene of their suffering in the Wallabout,
-and which will render the sad story of the ‘prison ships’ one of ever-increasing
-interest to all future generations.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The corner-stone of a vault for the reception of so many of the
-bones of the martyred dead as could be collected, was laid in April,
-1808, by Tammany. The event was made the occasion of a great
-demonstration. There was a big military and civic parade, artillery
-salutes and other features. Major Aycrigg was marshal of the day
-and an eloquent oration was delivered by Joseph D. Fay of Tammany.
-On May 26, 1808, the vault being completed, the bones were
-removed thereto, the event being signalized by another great demonstration.
-There were thirteen coffins filled with bones of the dead,
-and 104 veterans of the Revolution acted as pall-bearers. Stiles
-informs us that “The procession, after passing through various
-streets, reached the East River, where, at different places, boats had
-been provided for crossing to Brooklyn. Thirteen large open boats
-transported the thirteen tribes of the Tammany Society, each containing
-one tribe, one coffin, and the pall-bearers.” The scene was most
-inspiring. “At Brooklyn ferry the procession formed again&nbsp;...
-and arrived at the tomb of the martyrs amidst a vast and
-mighty assemblage. A stage had been here erected for the orator,
-trimmed with black crape. The coffins were placed in front, and
-the pall-bearers took their seats beneath the eye of the orator. There
-was an invocation by Rev. Ralph Williston, and the orator of the
-day was Dr. Benjamin DeWitt. The coffins were huge in size and
-each bore the name of one of the thirteen original states.”</p>

-</div>
-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c003'>
-    <div><span class='small'>BY THOMAS HAMILTON MURRAY, BOSTON, MASS.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>Including Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island has a long extent of
-coast line. There are in the state 90,000 acres of safe anchorage,
-varying in depth from six feet to twenty fathoms. The state has
-the Atlantic Ocean as its southern boundary. Of its cities and towns
-some twenty border on deep, salt water. It is not surprising, therefore,
-that Rhode Island early attained maritime importance.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>For many years ships were sent all over the world from Providence,
-Warren, Bristol and Newport. Their sails whitened many
-seas. These Rhode Island mariners were a hardy race and worthy
-of the great merchants for whom they sailed.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Before the year 1700, their vessels had already become numerous.
-In due time they were known in Barbadoes, Jamaica, St. Kitt’s,
-Nevis, Montserrat and Bermuda. Their sailors cheerily sang in the
-ports of Madeira, Fayal, Surinam and Curaçao, and were welcomed
-even in India and China.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The slave trade was the object of some of these voyages, commerce
-of others, while the fisheries engaged the attention of the rest. In
-1738, Newport alone had over one hundred vessels engaged in business
-throughout the world. In 1763, the same place sent out 182
-vessels on foreign voyages in addition to the 352 coastwise and fishing
-vessels. These were manned, all told, by 2,200 seamen. In
-June and July, 1774, the vessels arriving at Newport from foreign
-voyages numbered 64, in addition to 132 coastwise and 17 whalers.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Providence was also a great port. An address to Congress, in
-1790, stated that there “is a greater number of vessels belonging to
-this port (Providence) than to New York,” and that “it is a place
-of more navigation than any of its size in the Union.” Fortunes
-were rapidly made by merchants engaged in the foreign trade, while
-domestic commerce also brought in its wealth. In reaching out to
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_32'>32</span>trade with the world Rhode Island merchants, unlike some “historians”
-of today, did not forget Ireland.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Several Rhode Island vessels made regular voyages to and from
-Irish ports. Others made occasional ones, or touched at Belfast,
-Newry, Dublin, Londonderry, Cork or Waterford, on their way to or
-from British and other ports. A list of fifteen vessels engaged regularly
-or occasionally in the Irish trade, is here given: Ships, <em>Hope</em>,
-<em>Mary</em>, <em>Neptune</em>, <em>Tristram</em>, <em>Nancy</em>, <em>Robert Burns</em>, <em>Catherine</em> and
-<em>Faithful Stewart</em>; brigs, <em>Little John</em>, <em>Betsy</em>, <em>Recovery</em>, <em>Sally</em>, <em>Lydia</em>
-and <em>Happy Return</em>; schooner, <em>Mayflower</em>. There were probably
-many others, but these fifteen are sufficient to illustrate the point.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the captains were Rathbun, Davis, Ambrose, Taggart,
-Dring, Warner, Crawford, Staples, Coffin, Noyes, Allen, Smith,
-Cook, McCansland, Coggeshall and Howland.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Of the foregoing vessels, the <em>Mary</em> and <em>Little John</em> belonged to
-George Gibbs of Newport; the <em>Hope</em> to Samuel Fowler of Newport;
-the <em>Betsy</em> to Charles Handy and the <em>Recovery</em> to Chris. Ellery, both
-also of Newport. These five vessels are specifically mentioned in
-the <cite>Newport Historical Magazine</cite> as making regular voyages to Ireland.
-From time to time the Newport <cite>Mercury</cite> chronicles the
-arrival from Ireland, or departure therefor, of other ships and brigs.
-These were all in addition to those sailing between Ireland and
-Providence.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the articles imported from Ireland to Rhode Island at
-various times, were linen and woolen goods, Irish poplins, cambrics,
-lawns, silks, hosiery, sheetings, etc. Irish butter, beef and other food
-products, were also imported. The Newport <cite>Mercury</cite>, August 3,
-1772, contains an advertisement in which, among other things, “Irish
-beef” is announced for sale. In the Providence <cite>Gazette</cite>, November
-20, 1762, appears the following:</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“By the Newport packet from New York, we are informed, for
-certain, that there are 2000 Firkins of the Best Irish Rose butter,
-arrived there.—A quantity of it is expected to be imported into this
-town, which we are confident will fall the price of that commodity.”
-Under date of December 25, 1762, the <cite>Gazette</cite> says: “Since our last,
-we hear that a vessel has arrived at Newport from Ireland, with 1300
-Firkins of butter—Captain Champlain, the master of her, died soon
-after he came out.” In December, 1764, a vessel from Ireland mistook
-her bearings and went ashore on Block Island. The following
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_33'>33</span>notice of the disaster was published in the <cite>Gazette</cite>, January 12,
-1765:</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“On the 25th of last month, in the day time, a large double-decked
-brig, loaded with beef, pork, butter, and candles, bound from Ireland
-to Halifax run ashore on the north part of Block Island, where she
-soon beat to pieces; the people were all saved except the boatswain,
-who perished on the deck, which he would not be permitted to quit
-with the rest.—About 500 barrels of the cargo, with some other articles,
-were also saved. The master’s name we cannot learn.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The name of the wrecked brig is believed to have been the <em>Golden
-Grove</em>. Her Irish cargo was in the nature of supplies for the British
-garrison at Halifax. The fact that the cargo consisted of beef, pork,
-butter and candles, indicate that those articles were exported from
-Ireland in considerable quantities at that period.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Speaking of this wreck, recalls the fact that in 1763, the year
-before, a Rhode Island vessel was stranded on the Irish coast. She
-was the <em>Samuel and Joseph</em>, Captain Brown, bound for Amsterdam.
-In November and December, 1766, the Providence <cite>Gazette</cite> contained
-this advertisement:</p>

-<p class='c007'>June 15, 1772, the Newport <cite>Mercury</cite> notes the arrival at Newport
-of “the brig <em>Joseph</em>, Captain Pie, bound to New York in 49 days
-from Waterford in Ireland.” July 19, 1773, the same paper states
-that “Last Thursday arrived the brig <em>Sally</em>, Capt. John Murphy, in
-30 days from Jamaica.” She brought several passengers. This was
-probably the <em>Sally</em> that at another time is mentioned as having
-reached Dublin under Captain Davis. The Providence <cite>Gazette</cite>,
-February 24, 1776, has this interesting note: “Arrived from Ireland,
-but last from Barbadoes, the sloop <em>N. York</em> packet, Capt. John
-Freers, who informs that the people in Ireland and Barbadoes are
-very warm in the cause of America.” The <cite>Gazette</cite> also published

-
-<p class='c007'>Special attention is called to the fact that “passage” is advertised
-in connection with these voyages. This is good evidence that passengers
-sailed direct for Rhode Island from Ireland. Some of these
-were probably merchants or their agents engaged in the Irish trade.
-The fact that such accommodations were provided, likewise justifies
-the conclusion that immigrants also came direct from Ireland to
-Rhode Island, and in considerable numbers, too. These immigrants,
-in all probability, landed, some in Newport and others in Providence.
-It may be, too, that Warren, Bristol, Westerly and other places, likewise
-received direct Irish accessions from this source. Further on
-will be found additional evidence of direct immigration from Ireland.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Another advertisement in the Providence <cite>Gazette</cite> reads as follows:</p>

-<p class='c013'><span class='sc'>Providence</span>, Jan. 14, 1786.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Here again “passage” is advertised, it will be noted. Soon after
-a news item appeared in the <cite>Gazette</cite>, stating that “the ship <em>Tristram</em>,
-Captain Crawford, sails this day for Dublin.” It appears that the
-<em>Tristram</em> made many voyages to and from Ireland. On April 26,
-1788, over two years after the trip just mentioned, the <cite>Gazette</cite> had
-the following budget of marine news:</p>
-
-<p class='c013'>The ship Tristram, Capt. Warner, of this port, is arrived at Dublin.—The
-ship Mary, Capt. Rathbun, and Brig Little John, Capt. Ambrose, of Newport,
-are also arrived at Dublin.—The Brig Recovery, Capt. Taggart, of Newport,
-is arrived at Newry.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_35'>35</span>In June, 1791, Joseph and William Russell of Providence had
-an assortment of Irish linens “Just imported in the ship <em>Tristram</em>
-from Dublin.” The <cite>Gazette</cite>, under date of Providence, April 13,
-1776, says: “Capt. Cook, from Belfast, informs that recruiting parties
-had been beating up there from September till January to reinforce
-the ministerial army in America, but they had only inlisted ten
-men.” This helps the reader to form a good idea as to the direction
-of Irish sympathies at that time.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The quotations in the remainder of this chapter are from the
-Providence <cite>Gazette</cite>. A news paragraph, dated Newport, states that
-on “Monday last arrived here the ship <em>Mary</em>, Captain Ambrose, in
-fifty-nine days from Cork.” On February 14, 1789, under the head
-of Providence, we are told that “On Wednesday also arrived the
-brig <em>Happy Return</em>, Capt. Dring, from Dublin, Isle of May, and St.
-Eustatia.” The <em>Happy Return</em> has frequent mention, sometimes as
-arriving from Dublin and again from other ports. But there came
-a time when she returned no more. The incident occurred in 1790,
-and is thus narrated: “The brig <em>Happy Return</em>, Capt. Dring, of
-this port (Providence), bound for Dublin, is lost near that port.
-The crew and a part of the cargo were saved.” In April, 1790, is
-chronicled the arrival at Dublin of the brig <em>Sally</em>, Captain Davis, of
-Providence, “after a short passage of twenty two days.” In November
-of the same year, the ship <em>Tristram</em>, Captain Warner, is again
-mentioned as having cleared for Dublin from Providence. Among
-the arrivals in the port of Providence in May, 1791, was the “ship
-<em>Tristram</em>, Warner, Dublin.” In November, 1791, the <em>Tristram</em>,
-commanded by Captain Holowell, departed from Providence for
-Newry. December 14, 1792, the brig <em>Betsy</em> left Providence for
-Newry and in May of the next year, her arrival at Providence is
-noted “from Newry, which she left the 5th of March, having touched
-at the Cape de Verds.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In April, 1796, the brig <em>Lydia</em>, Capt. John Cook, arrived at
-Providence from Cork in forty-nine days. We find it recorded
-December 21, 1799, that “A ship from Cork put into Newport on
-Sunday evening last, and sailed next morning. She brought Cork
-papers to the 24th of October.” Elsewhere it is stated that earlier
-in that year the ship <em>Palmyra</em>, Captain Trotter, of Providence, for
-Hamburg, put into “the Cove of Cork.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The schooner <em>Mayflower</em> left Providence for Dublin in February,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_36'>36</span>1801. In 1809, among the departures from the port of Providence
-was the “Ship <em>Neptune</em>, Staples, Ireland.” The same year it is
-stated that the “ship <em>Nancy</em>, of Rhode Island, 14 days from Richmond
-for Cork, was spoke July 6, lat. 43:52.” In October, 1809, the
-brig <em>Orient</em> arrived at New York “53 days from Dublin. Left there
-among others, ship <em>Nancy</em>, Capt. Noyes, just arrived from Providence.”
-These Rhode Island captains became great favorites in Irish
-ports. They were frequently entertained and were treated in a hospitable
-manner generally. In 1811, Capt. Peregrine Howland of
-Newport, died in Belfast. He was in his thirty-ninth year at the
-time, and his passing away caused much sorrow. The ship <em>Robert
-Burns</em>, Captain Coffin, arrived at Newport January 3, 1820, “in 39
-days from Ireland.” The ship <em>George Washington</em>, of Providence, is
-noted as having arrived at Cork March 26, 1820, “from Madeira in
-15 days.” She was commanded by Captain Allen. Under a Newport
-date of January 6, 1820, we find the following: “Arrived on
-Tuesday last, in distress, ship <em>William and Jane</em>, Brown, from N.
-York, with flaxseed, bound to Londonderry,—Sailed from N. York,
-Dec. 24, and next day the ship sprung a leak, which continued to
-increase, and was compelled to throw over part of the cargo, and put
-into this port.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>It will thus be seen that flaxseed was exported to Ireland from this
-country. That is perhaps what Black &amp; Stewart, Irish merchants of
-Providence, intended to do with the “2000 bushels of good and well
-clean’d flax seed” they advertised for in 1763.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>From facts here adduced it will be seen that for a great many
-years, until Irish manufacturing industries were crushed by English
-law, commercial relations existed between Ireland and Rhode Island.
-Irish goods and Irish passengers were landed on the wharves in Newport
-and Providence, while outgoing ships took goods and passengers
-for the old land. Too long have these facts been forgotten or
-ignored. But a new era has dawned and the sun of investigation will
-yet bring forth even greater and more interesting developments.</p>

-    <div><span class='small'>BY MICHAEL J. O’BRIEN, NEW YORK CITY.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>John Burns, a native of the city of Dublin, where he was born in
-1730, was a prominent character in Pennsylvania history. He emigrated
-to Philadelphia when quite young. He prospered in business
-in that city, where we are told “he took a prominent part in all local
-and national questions, and was honored by his fellow-citizens with
-many positions of trust.” He was the first governor of Pennsylvania
-elected after the adoption of the federal constitution, and
-“retained in a high degree the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens
-till his death.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>One of the very earliest white settlers in Greene County was
-Thomas Hughes, who emigrated from Donegal with his wife, Bridget
-O’Neill, to Virginia. One of his descendants, Thomas Hughes,
-wrote the memoirs of his family in 1880, in which he said: “The
-motive that sent our first ancestor to this country from his native
-Irish home was of this character, <i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">i. e.</span></i>, a desire for religious freedom;
-he was a devout Catholic.” “Settling,” he continues, “in the valley
-of Virginia, in Loudoun County, before the year 1739, Thomas
-Hughes, son of Felime or Felix, and his wife, with his brother
-Felime or Felix, all from Inver, in Donegal, Ulster, first laid the
-foundations of his family in this country.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Thomas Hughes was a noted hunter, and in one of his expeditions
-into the backwoods, which lasted for several months, he spent
-some time in what is now Greene County, Pennsylvania, the soil and
-general appearance of which pleased him so well that he determined
-to make his future home there. This he did in 1771, and was one
-of the very first white settlers in that country. He located where
-Carmichaelstown now stands, but several years afterwards exchanged
-farms with a party named Carmichael, and called his new place
-Jefferson, after his old county in Virginia.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_38'>38</span>His nephew, Felix Hughes, also settled in Pennsylvania, where he
-erected a fort or blockhouse as protection against the Indians and
-wild animals. It was a building of only one story and a half, of
-hewn logs and rough boards, and as an instance of the primitiveness
-of the period when this Irish pioneer settled in this locality, this
-building was looked upon as “an elegant house!” His wife’s name
-was Cinthia Kaighn (or Kane). In 1780, he set out with others to
-Kentucky to look up lands, but the party was attacked by Indians
-while descending the Ohio and, after a narrow escape, Hughes
-returned to Greene County, where he spent the remainder of his
-days. He and his father were buried in Neill’s burying ground,
-near Carmichaelstown. Their descendants are still found in considerable
-numbers in Greene and Fayette counties, Pennsylvania.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>A prominent Irish Catholic who settled early on Sherman’s Creek,
-was Henry Gass. He and his brother erected log cabins on Indian
-lands in Perry County, but were dispossessed from there in 1750,
-when they located at Falling Springs.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Patrick Gass, who was born in the latter place in 1771, and who is
-said to have been the first white man to make an overland trip to the
-Pacific, is presumed to have been a son of Henry Gass. The original
-name, of course, was Prendergast.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the earlier Irish inhabitants of Carlisle is found the Prendergrass
-family, whose name is identified with almost all the larger
-settlements west of Carlisle. Kline’s <cite>Carlisle Gazette</cite> of November
-29, 1797, gave an account of the death of the aged Philip Prendergrass,
-which occurred two weeks previously, in which it described
-him as “an old inhabitant of this borough.” The name is found on
-the “list of taxables” in 1762. He took part in the expedition of
-Kitanning, in 1756, to repulse the Indians. It was a member of this
-family, Garrett Prendergrass who, in February, 1770, purchased the
-ground now occupied by the city of Allegheny, from the Six Nations.
-The old Prendergrass homestead was near Hanover, and is still occupied
-by the family. It was built in the last century by an Irishman
-names Byrnes, who married into the family.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Wing’s <cite>History of Cumberland County</cite> mentions John and Charles
-McManus, as settlers in Carlisle in 1762, the latter as “one of the
-oldest, most progressive and successful business men in the community.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“The large and commodious dwelling he erected on East Street,”
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_39'>39</span>says Ganss, one of the historians of Carlisle, “still remains as a monument
-of post-colonial massiveness, spaciousness and solidity, with
-its marble slab conspicuously placed in the second story, bearing the
-date of its erection, 1797, and the name of its builder, and which
-gives evidence not only of enterprise and wealth, but cultured taste.
-Originally, he was proprietor of one of the largest distilleries in the
-county, and amassed a sufficient competence which permitted him to
-live, if not in luxury, at least in ease and comfort. After the death
-of Mrs. Mary McManus (born 1703, died 1809), the name becomes
-less prominent, although that of Charles is still found on the pew
-list of the Catholic Church as late as 1823. The descendants
-drifted to Mexico and Philadelphia. The former branch of the
-family, in the course of time, founded the prosperous and famed
-banking firm of McManus &amp; Co., an institution of international reputation
-and the largest and most prominent in our sister republic.
-The Philadelphia family likewise, achieved more than ordinary success
-in life.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Here we have a conspicuous example of the class of men whom
-Ireland gave to America in her early days.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John Frazer, who was born at Glassborough, County Monaghan,
-in 1709, left Ireland in 1735 and located in Philadelphia. In course
-of time he became a very wealthy man. He was a shipping merchant,
-owning several vessels engaged in the West Indian trade. He
-married Mary Smith, who was born in Cleary, County Monaghan.
-He died in Philadelphia in 1765. His son, Patrick Frazer, commanded
-a company of the Fourth Pennsylvania, a regiment under the
-command of Anthony Wayne. He became lieutenant-colonel of the
-Fifth Pennsylvania, and was brigadier-general of Pennsylvania militia.
-His grandson, Robert Frazer, was a distinguished lawyer at
-Thornbury, Pa.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John McCord emigrated from Ireland in 1750, and settled in Sherman’s
-Valley, Pa. His father also located at Landisburg, Pa., about
-the same time, and on his farm a fort was erected for protection
-against the Redmen in the Indian war of 1755. It is still known as
-McCord’s Fort.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>David Milligan came from Ireland to Mifflin County, Pennsylvania,
-in 1766. He and his two brothers, John and James, served in
-the Fifth Battalion of Cumberland Militia through the Revolutionary
-War. David was twice taken prisoner. All these were in active
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_40'>40</span>service up to 1778. Their brother, Thomas, and their mother,
-joined them from Ireland in 1785.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Robert Guthrie, a name Anglicized from McGrath, was born in
-Derry; settled with his family in Lancaster County in 1744. His
-wife’s name was Brighid Dougherty, a native of Carndonagh, County
-Donegal. Their son was a lieutenant-colonel in Colonel Brodhead’s
-regiment through the Revolutionary War. He was in the expedition
-against the Six Nations, and with Harbison’s company of rangers
-in the border wars against the Indians. His great-grandson was
-mayor of Pittsburg in 1897.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Roger Connor, a native of Cork, settled at Lancaster in 1740. He
-established a hat factory there and purchased lands in many parts of
-the province, principally in Lancaster, Carlisle and York. He had
-Irishmen in his employ, too, and in the Philadelphia <cite>Mercury</cite> of
-November 24, 1743, he advertised for “Patrick Dollard, a hatter by
-trade, aged about twenty years, a lusty, well-set fellow, etc.” Patrick
-was a redemptioner and had left the service of his countryman
-before his term had expired. It was Roger Connor who gave the
-land on which St. Mary’s Church, in Lancaster, was built. His
-name appears on the list of subscribers to the fund for the relief of
-the sufferers by the Boston massacre in the Revolution. He died at
-Lancaster in 1776.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John and Charles Connor also settled in Lancaster about 1740,
-and are thought to have been kinsmen of Roger. In 1758, Charles
-went to Philadelphia and his name appears on the list of the early
-contributors to St. Mary’s Church. He died in 1775 and bequeathed
-his property to his nephew, Charles, son of Cornelius O’Connor, of
-Carrigtwohill, County Cork.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Another family named Connor lived in Ashton Township, Chester
-County. Charles Connor died there in 1750.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Thomas G. Connor, son of another Charles Connor, who was born
-at Philadelphia in 1786, is buried in Mount Vernon Cemetery, Philadelphia.
-His wife’s name was Martha Fitzgerald.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Morgan Connor, or O’Connor, was one of the early settlers in
-Pennsylvania. In the <cite>Pennsylvania Archives</cite>, Vol. X, he is referred
-to as “among the first to enter the service of his country as lieutenant
-in Captain George Nagle’s company, in Colonel Thompson’s regiment.”
-After the campaign of 1775–’76 he was ordered south as a
-brigade major for Gen. John Armstrong. He served with credit
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_41'>41</span>down to the winter of 1779, and on his return in that year he became
-lieutenant-colonel of Hartley’s regiment and subsequently colonel of
-the Eleventh Regiment. He was lost at sea in 1780, on a voyage to
-the West Indies. According to Volume I, No. 47, Register of Wills
-Office, Philadelphia, letters of administration on O’Connor’s estate
-were granted to Dennis McCarthy, on September 8, 1780, when McCarthy,
-Bryan O’Hara and Patrick Byrne gave a bond in the sum
-of £3,000.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In a pamphlet issued by Benjamin Franklin in 1744, entitled,
-<cite>Plain Talk, or Serious Considerations on the Present State of the
-City of Philadelphia and Province of Pennsylvania</cite>, appears a letter
-written in that year by Governor Morris of New Jersey, to Governor
-Clinton of New York, in which he said: “There are here a
-Popish chapel and numbers of Irish and Germans that are Papists,
-and I am told that should the French land 1,500 or 2,000 men, they
-would in that province soon get ten or twelve thousands together,
-which would in that case be not a little dangerous to these and neighboring
-colonies.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Edward McGuire, who belonged to the staff of General McGuire
-in Austria, came to Philadelphia in 1751, with wines, in which he
-had invested his patrimony. He was the son of Constantine McGuire
-and Julia MacEllengot of the County of Kerry. He established
-himself in business in Philadelphia, but subsequently went to Alexandria,
-Va., thence to Winchester in 1753, where he built a hotel and
-gave the ground for and built the Catholic Church at Winchester in
-1790. He died in 1806. His descendants were lawyers, doctors
-and ministers, some of whom married into the best old Virginia
-families.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Acrelius, in his <cite>History of New Sweden</cite> (as Pennsylvania was
-sometimes called prior to the English settlement), writing of 1758,
-said: “Forty years back our people scarcely knew what a school
-was. In the later times there have come over from Ireland some
-Presbyterians and some Roman Catholics, who commenced with
-school keeping, but as soon as they saw better openings they gave
-that up.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the early Philadelphia schoolmasters, the following advertised
-in the <cite>Mercury</cite>: Charles Phipps, “from Dublin,” in 1729, and
-James Conway, on July 17, 1729. George Brownwell also advertised
-his school in the same year. The schoolroom later became a
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_42'>42</span>dancing academy, and was opened by “Theobald Hacket, dancing
-master, lately come from England and Ireland.” Alexander Butler
-advertised his school on November 12, 1741. On June 21, 1790,
-John Reilly opened a school at Columbia, and in the following year
-his scholars were taken by Francis Dunlevy, who taught the higher
-branches. This was continued until 1793, when Reilly gave the
-entire school to Dunlevy and opened another school at Mill Creek.
-It is stated in the <cite>Magazine of Western History</cite> for February,
-1888, that this was the first school in the American settlements of the
-Ohio.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Many of these Irish schoolmasters are mentioned in Wickersham’s
-<cite>History of Education in Pennsylvania</cite>.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>An Irish schoolmaster taught school at Chester in 1741. Rev. Mr.
-Backhouse of that borough, wrote the London Society for Propagation
-of the Gospel, that the Quakers had “set up another schoolmaster,
-one of their own sort truly, but a native Irish bigoted Papist, in
-opposition to one Charles Fortesque.” The name of this Irish
-schoolmaster is not mentioned.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John Conly taught “an advanced school” at Byberry, Philadelphia
-County, before the Revolutionary War.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John Downey, who was among the first settlers of Harrisburg,
-according to Wickersham, taught school at Harrisburg for a number
-of years. He was also a justice of the peace, town clerk and member
-of the Assembly. In 1796, he presented Governor Mifflin a
-plan for a state system of education, “in which he discussed the whole
-subject of education, showing a wonderful sense of its importance in
-a government like ours and a clear conception of the nature of the
-system necessary to make it general.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>On May 15, 1767, Miss Mary McAllister advertised in the Philadelphia
-papers to open a boarding school for young ladies in that
-city. “Hers was the first school of the kind in Philadelphia” (Wickersham).</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Thomas Neill was a schoolmaster in the Wyoming Valley before
-the massacre of 1778. He is described as “an Irishman of middle
-age, learned, a Catholic, a Free Mason, fond of dress, remarkable for
-his fine flow of spirits and pleasing manners, a bachelor and a schoolmaster.”
-He lost his life in the massacre of Wyoming.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1790, a number of Catholics from Maryland settled in Cambria
-County, Pennsylvania. “A school was opened there,” says Wickersham,
-“under the direction of a schoolmaster named O’Connor.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_43'>43</span>Wickersham also states that the pioneer settler of northern Cambria
-County was a Captain Maguire. Other settlers who followed
-him from Maryland in 1790 were named Kaylor, Burns, McDale
-and Carroll, the descendants of the latter having been the founders
-of the present town of Carrolltown. The second white child born
-in that section is said to have been Michael Maguire. The number
-of places in Cambria County which bear Irish names indicate the
-extent of these Irish settlements. For instance, Driscoll, Carrolltown,
-Kaylor, Dale, Dougherty, Sheridan, Condon and Patton,
-called after the settlers, and Dysart and Munster, called after Irish
-places. Immediately to the north of Cambria, in Clearfield County,
-there are places names Mahaffey, McGee, McCartney, McCauley,
-Welshdale, Moran, Curryrun, Mitchel, Shawville, Barrett and Donegal,
-and in the other counties surrounding Cambria, are places called
-Tyrone, Armagh, Avonmore, McKee, Curryville, Kelley, Fleming,
-Connor, Daley, Downey, Lavansville, and so on.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>James Nowlins taught school at Mauch Chunk. According to
-Wickersham, he was one of the first white men who located at that
-place.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Paddy” Doyle taught school at Phœnixville. He is mentioned
-in Pennypacker’s <cite>Annals of Phœnixville</cite>. A description of him says
-“his nationality was revealed by a very decided brogue.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Robert Williams, an Irishman, was a teacher at Greensburg.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John Sharpless conducted an academy on Second Street, Philadelphia,
-in 1791.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Rev. S. Magaw opened an academy on Spruce Street in 1800.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Philip Garrett and two other teachers opened a night school at
-Philadelphia in 1799, and their advertisement stated it was “for
-poor children and would do the teaching themselves.” Two years
-later their effort was organized into the “Philadelphia Society for the
-Establishment and Support of Charity Schools.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the settlement of New Londonderry, Chester County, Samuel
-Blair, an Irishman, established a school in 1740. This settlement
-was founded fourteen years before by immigrants from Derry and
-Donegal. Blair is described in Pennsylvania history as “one of the
-most able, learned, pious, excellent and venerable men of his day.”
-His academy was called “the school of the prophets,” and “from it
-there came forth many distinguished men who did honor to their
-instructor and their country.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_44'>44</span>One of the most eminent educators in the province was Dr. Samuel
-Finley, who arrived from Ireland in 1734 and located in Pennsylvania,
-where he taught school. In 1744 he founded an academy
-at Nottingham, Md., where some of the most distinguished men in
-the country laid the foundation of their education and usefulness.
-Among his many scholars were such men as Governor Martin of
-North Carolina, the famous Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia, his
-brother, Judge Rush, Governor Henry of Maryland, and Doctor
-McWhorter of New Jersey. It is said “there were no better classical
-scholars formed anywhere in the county” than in this school. In
-1761, Doctor Finley was appointed president of Princeton College.
-He died in 1766.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Dr. Francis Alison, of Donegal, came to Pennsylvania in 1735,
-and settled at New London, Chester County, where he opened a
-school. At the time of its establishment there was a great want of
-learning in the Middle Colonies, and Doctor Alison is said to have
-instructed all who came to him “without fee or reward.” A Dr.
-Patrick Allison, who was born in Lancaster County in 1740, is
-thought to have been a relative of the Donegal schoolmaster. He
-held a place “in the very first rank of the American clergy, and had
-scarcely an equal for his eloquence.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The father of John W. Geary, governor of Pennsylvania from
-1867 to 1873, was an Irishman who had settled early in Franklin
-County. He became an iron manufacturer, but having failed in
-business and lost his entire investment in the mines, he opened a
-select school in Westmoreland County, to which he devoted the
-remaining years of his life. His son, General Geary, commanded
-a Pennsylvania regiment in the Mexican War, and was commissioned
-governor of Kansas in 1856. He fought in the War of the Rebellion
-and distinguished himself for his bravery at Gettysburg. “His
-name will forever be associated with the great events of the brilliant
-Chattanooga campaign.” While in the command at Lookout Mountain,
-his son, Capt. Edward Geary, a youth of eighteen, was killed
-by his side.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>William Powers, who was elected a member of the Hibernian
-Society of Philadelphia in 1790, is referred to in Campbell’s history
-of that society as “a teacher in the university.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Benjamin Workman, who also joined in the same year, is described
-as a teacher of mathematics. He advertised in the <cite>Freeman’s
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_45'>45</span>Journal</cite> on June 28, 1786, as “from the University of Pennsylvania.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Rev. S. B. Wylie, a native of Moylarg, County Antrim, was a
-teacher in a private academy at Philadelphia in 1797, in which year
-he fled from the wrath of the British government. He was an early
-member of the Society of United Irishmen in Belfast. He became
-professor of languages in the University of Pennsylvania and was
-vice-provost of that institution. He joined the Hibernian Society
-in 1811.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>William Findlay, who was born in Ireland in 1750, came to Pennsylvania
-in August, 1763, and taught school in Westmoreland County
-for several years after his arrival. He was elected to the state Legislature
-from Westmoreland County, and was a member of Congress
-from 1791 to 1799, and again from 1803 to 1817. He was a prominent
-writer and pamphleteer on subjects devoted to the public welfare.
-He was a member of the Hibernian Society.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the members of the Hibernian Society who were elected in
-1790, Francis Donnelly, John Barry, John Heffernan and James
-Kidd are described as schoolmasters in Philadelphia.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Patrick Farrall, who joined the Society in 1792, and who is
-described as “the first clerk in the office for settling accounts between
-the United States and individual states” after independence had
-been won, is thought to have been a Pennsylvania schoolmaster.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Andrew Porter, a member of the Hibernian Society, opened “an
-English and Mathematical School” in Philadelphia in 1767, in which
-he taught till 1776, when he was appointed a captain of marines and
-ordered to the frigate <em>Effingham</em>. He was a son of Robert Porter,
-who emigrated from Derry to New Hampshire in 1720, and who
-afterwards removed to Montgomery County, Pa. He was transferred
-from the marine corps to the command of the Fourth Pennsylvania
-Artillery, which post he held until the close of the war.
-He fought in several battles of the Revolutionary War at the head
-of his gallant regiment, and is said to have been personally commended
-by Washington for his conduct at the battle of Germantown.
-He became general of Pennsylvania militia, and took a prominent
-part in all movements for the welfare of his native state. Gov.
-David R. Porter of Pennsylvania, Gov. Bryan Porter of Michigan,
-and James M. Porter, secretary of war under Tyler, were grandsons
-of the exile from Derry, Robert Porter.</p>

-  <h3 class='c001'>EARLY IRISH IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.</h3>
-</div>
-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c003'>
-    <div><span class='small'>BY FRANCIS J. WARD, ST. LOUIS.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>In 1815 the population of St. Louis was 2,000. <cite>Billon’s Annals</cite>
-for 1817–’20 states: “The adult male population of that day was
-about 700. Of American birth 400, French and Spanish 150, and
-of foreign birth 150. Of these, fully two thirds, or about 100, were
-Irishmen, some fifteen or twenty European Frenchmen, about the
-same number English and Scotch, and some ten or twelve Germans.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The tax list for 1811 shows Auguste Chouteau as the largest taxpayer,
-the Irish-American firm, McKnight &amp; Brady, second. The
-first directory of St. Louis (1821) contains 749 names. Of these
-but few are Germanic. As late as 1827 there were but twenty-seven
-German families here.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1663 Marquis de Tracy was governor-general of all the French
-possessions in America, and another Franco-Irishman, Chevalier
-McCarthy, in 1751, was commandant of the French settlement of
-the Illinois territory, and in 1769 a native Gael, Alexander O’Reilly,
-had command under the Spanish.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Peter Conley appears as a witness to Laclede’s will. Charles Gratiot
-was a member of the firm of David McCrae &amp; Co., at Cahokia,
-from 1771 to 1781. Among the earliest mortgages in St. Louis is
-that of Pierre Saffray to Joseph O’Neille. Mathew Kennedy, in
-1771, executed a bond to Antoine Bernard, and in the will of Jan
-Louis Lambert, a merchant, who died here in 1771, is found memoranda
-of an indebtedness due Morrissey &amp; Co. Both Kennedy and
-Morrissey were prominent merchants here long prior to this.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>When Patrick Henry, then governor of Virginia, determined to
-check the progress of the English on the Western frontier, he gave
-the command to the son of an Irishman, Gen. George Rogers Clark.
-Virginia was unable to furnish the money to equip Clark’s troops
-for the Illinois campaign, but an Irish merchant of New Orleans,
-Oliver Pollock, borrowed $70,000 from Count O’Reilly, once commandant
-of the Louisiana territory. What Morris did in the East
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_47'>47</span>Pollock did in the West for the American cause. To his financial
-aid the United States owes the success of Clark’s Illinois campaign.
-That Clark had many soldiers of Irish birth in his army is shown
-by a deposition taken at Kaskaskia, June 11, 1779, in which are the
-names of Andrew McDonald, Aaron Barrett, Patrick Shine, Andrew
-Coil and Tarrance Mooney.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The first American who settled in St. Louis after Clark’s surprise
-of Kaskaskia, in 1778, was Philip Fine, son of Thomas Fine, an
-Irish settler in Virginia. He came in 1781. Kaskaskia was the
-settling place of many Irish in the early days, among them being
-Robert Morrison, an Irish merchant, who arrived in 1792.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1800 occurred the murder of Adam Horne, on the Meramec.
-The commandant at Carondelet appointed as witnesses to the inventory
-John Cummings and John Donald, the witness to the order
-being Bartholomew Harrington.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1803 Governor Delassus organized two companies of militia
-for the protection of New Madrid, and appointed Richard Waters,
-captain, and George K. Reagan, lieutenant of cavalry, and Robert
-McCoy, captain, and John Hart, ensign of infantry. William Sullivan
-obtained the first tavern license issued in the town after its
-transfer to the Americans, and was appointed by General Harrison
-constable and coroner, holding in the latter capacity the first inquest.
-In 1816, when Chouteau laid out the first addition to the town, Sullivan
-purchased a half block, on which he built a residence, where
-he died.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Immediately after the transfer of the territory, Colonel Delassus
-addressed an official note to the new American officials commending,
-among others, the following officers who had served under him in
-the French service: James Mackay, commandant at St. Andrew, “an
-officer of knowledge, zealous and punctual”; also Mr. Mathew McKonel,
-Robert McKay, “a brave officer,” and Dr. Samuel Dorsey,
-surgeon of the fort.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>After the transfer came the descendants of Irish settlers of Pennsylvania,
-Ohio, Kentucky, the Carolinas and Tennessee, a sturdy,
-vigorous, independent and progressive race, to whom President
-Roosevelt, himself a descendant on the maternal side, pays tribute
-in his <cite>Winning of the West</cite>. The fathers of many of them took
-part in the Revolutionary War, others were those who were banished
-from Ireland through the same laws that forced Americans to rebel.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_48'>48</span>Among the latter was Joseph Charless, a native of Westmeath,
-who sought his fellow refugees, Mathew Carey and William Duane,
-in Philadelphia. He worked as a compositor on Duane’s <cite>Aurora</cite>,
-and set up for Carey the first folio edition of the Bible printed in
-the United States. Shortly afterward he left for Kentucky, coming
-later with his printer’s outfit on mulebacks to St. Louis, where he
-began the publication of the first newspaper printed west of the
-Mississippi, the <cite>Missouri Gazette</cite>, in 1808.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1804 came John Mullanphy, the celebrated philanthropist.
-His third daughter, Jane, married Charles Chambers, son of John
-Chambers, a United Irishman, who, with Thomas Addis Emmet,
-Dr. William Macneven and thirteen others, after their release from
-a political prison, came to America, where they rose to distinction.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>James Rankin was the first sheriff of St. Louis under American
-rule, and the first grand jury contains some Irish names, and many
-transfers of real estate from early settlers are recorded this year,
-among them that of Manuel Lisa to Patrick Cullen and Joseph Bent.
-Eighteen hundred and four was the year when the old Fort Bellefontaine
-was selected for the establishment of Jefferson Barracks,
-which, after its abandonment, in 1826, was left in charge of Capt.
-John Whistler, a native of Ireland, founder of Fort Dearborn, in
-1803, now the city of Chicago, and grandfather of the famous
-American artist, James A. McNeil Whistler. He died in St. Louis
-in 1829.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>This year also saw the departure of Lewis and Clark to the Rocky
-Mountains, Clark being a brother to Gen. Rogers Clark. Among
-the party were George Shannon, who afterward became United
-States attorney for Missouri, and Patrick Gass.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>A remarkable Irishman came in 1805—Jeremiah Conners. In
-1818 he was the owner of the <span lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">40–arpent</span> lots, on which he laid out
-Washington Avenue. Part of his property he donated to Bishop
-Dubourg, in 1820, for founding St. Louis University, the first of
-its kind in St. Louis. At his house was organized the first Irish
-society established in the city, in 1818.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>William Christy, whose people came from County Down, was also
-a famous man. He laid out the whole section known as North St.
-Louis. Another large Irish landholder was Patrick McMasters Dillon,
-who, previous to leaving Ireland, was involved in the Emmet
-rising. He laid out several additions to the city on lands he purchased,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_49'>49</span>his last being “Dillon’s Fourth Addition,” in 1840, on a
-tract purchased from Fred Dent, father-in-law of President Grant.
-One of his daughters, Martha N., married the celebrated Capt.
-James B. Eads.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among other large purchasers of real estate in the early years
-occur the names of James Mackay, James Conway, Mathew Boyse,
-John Hogan, Hugh O’Neill and John Dougherty. A famous lawyer
-of this time was Col. Luke E. Lawless, a native of Dublin, who
-came in 1816, and who, after the resignation of Judge William C.
-Carr from the Circuit Court, succeeded him. Still another was
-Nathaniel Beverly Tucker. He became judge of the Circuit Court.
-One of the family married John Patten Emmet, youngest son of
-Thomas Addis Emmet, who was appointed professor of chemistry
-in the University of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson, the son of the
-union being the celebrated Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet of New York.
-Another legal luminary was Hamilton Rowan Gamble, whose people
-came from Belfast. In 1861 he was chosen provisional governor of
-the state.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the first House of Representatives of the territory, S. McGrady
-represented Ste. Genevieve. In the legislative council occurs the
-name of James Flaugherty. William Neeley became president of
-the council. The first state Legislature met in the Missouri Hotel,
-built by Thomas Brady, a famous Irishman of his day.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Col. John O’Fallon, son of Dr. James O’Fallon, native of County
-Roscommon, surgeon under Washington, came in 1811, and resided
-with his uncle, General Clark. The name has become so identified
-with the history of the city as to need no mention. Francis Redford
-opened, in 1804, the first school for instruction in English.
-The honor of giving the grounds for its first seat of learning
-belongs to a native of the Emerald Isle. The proud distinction of
-being called the “Father of the University of Missouri” belongs to a
-man whose ancestors came from the County Tyrone, Dr. James
-Rollins.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The first bank, the Bank of St. Louis, organized in 1813, had as
-one of its commissioners Thomas Brady, and the second, the Bank
-of Missouri, had among its directors John McKnight and Mathew
-Kerr, and the Bank of the State of Missouri, organized in 1837, had
-among its directors Hugh O’Neill, Edward Walsh, Edward Dobyns
-and John O’Fallon. A branch of the United States Bank was
-started in 1819, with John O’Fallon as president.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_50'>50</span>The Merchants’ Exchange began as a debating Society, in 1836,
-with Edward Tracy as president and John Ford as secretary. The
-Millers’ Association, the first of its kind in the West, was established
-in 1849, among the members being John Walsh. Financial
-exchanges need telegraphic connections, so along came a Leitrim
-man, Henry O’Reilly, in 1847, who opened here the first telegraph
-office west of the Mississippi.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In military life the men of the “Fighting Race” were to the fore.
-The St. Louis Grays, the first volunteer organization, started in 1832,
-had for its ensign John P. Riley, but a volunteer company of light
-infantry preceded it in 1819, having for its captain Henry W. Conway.
-Other companies were added to the Grays in 1842, forming
-the First Regiment, St. Louis Legion, among the designations of the
-companies being “Montgomery Guards,” with Patrick Gorman, captain;
-“St. Louis Guards,” Daniel Byrne, captain; “Mound City
-Guards,” John H. Barrett, captain; “Morgan Riflemen,” Henry J.
-McKillop, captain.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In this review of the “pioneer” Irish in St. Louis, many names
-necessarily are omitted. Sufficient to mention men of worth in their
-day, such as John C. Sullivan, collector, in 1814; Judge Thomas
-McGuire, 1817; Captain McGunnegle, the Rankin Brothers, Hugh,
-Robert and David, who came hither from Ireland in 1819; Bernard
-Gillully, who was in partnership with Edward C. Cummings; James
-Clemens, Patrick Walsh, Richard K. Dowling, Thomas Hanley,
-Thomas M. Doherty, Mayor Ferguson, William Carr Lane, Bryan
-Mullanphy, and others.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Such men, indeed, were the “cream of St. Louis society” in the
-early part of the nineteenth century.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>We hear much of the part played by the Irish in the creation and
-maintenance of the American republic in the military sense, but
-what they have contributed towards its civil, commercial, manufacturing
-or educational development is much overlooked and remains
-unknown to readers of the present day.</p>

-<div class='footnote' id='f5'>
-<p class='c006'><a href='#r5'>5</a>. On page 121, Vol. V, Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society: “Thomas
-the Irishman” is mentioned as in the Dutch records of New York. Thus, Hon. Peter
-Stuyvesant, Director-General of New Netherland, writing to Capt. Martin Cregier, 1663,
-says: “Your letter by Thomas the Irishman has just been received.”&nbsp;... On August
-5, 1663, Captain Cregier writes in his journal: “Thomas the Irishman arrived here at
-the Redoubt from the Manhatans.” On September 1, 1663, Captain Cregier writes:
-“Thomas the Irishman and Claesje Hoorn arrived with their yachts at the Kill from
-the Manhatan,” and on the 17th of the same month the captain writes: “Thomas the
-Irishman arrived today.” The foregoing references may be found in <cite>Documents Relating
-to the Colonial History of the State of New York</cite>, edited by Fernow, Vol. XIII,
-Albany, 1881.</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the preparation for an exhaustive history of early New York
-Mr. Dingman Versteeg, archivist of the Holland Society, has been
-able to trace out many heretofore lacking details of the record of the
-Irishman who was so prominent here in Governor Stuyvesant’s time.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>His name was Thomas Lewis, and he must have gone to Holland
-from Ireland some time previous to 1657. How long he remained
-there does not appear, but, in that year, he was sent from Amsterdam
-under contract to the Dutch West Indies Company as a carpenter to
-New Amsterdam, as this city (New York) was then called. His
-name was transformed in the records to Thomas Lodewicksen, a sort
-of Latin-Dutch combination.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>For three years after this he does not seem to have made much
-stir here, and then he appears as the captain of a bark plying between
-this city and Albany. A man of such standing in this community at
-that time was a real captain of industry and a citizen of substance.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The favor and regard in which Lewis was held by Governor Stuyvesant
-is evidenced by the fact that his bark was used to transport
-troops in the Esopus war of 1663, and on it Stuyvesant made his
-headquarters, so dating a number of letters still extant.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Lewis was married to a Dutch wife, Geesje Barents, a member of a
-prominent and well-known family in this city. He had several
-children. One of them, Thomas Lodewicksen, Jr., married Frances,
-daughter of the famous Jacob Leisler, head of the colony, which is
-another indication of his father’s social prominence.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_55'>55</span>Lewis died here, on September 14, 1685, and his widow was named
-executrix of his will by Governor Dongan, April 1, 1686. There
-are many of his descendants among the various Lewis families scattered
-over this state, but few of them, perhaps, know that their
-ancestor was that “Thomas the Irishman” mentioned so frequently
-in the old Dutch records of Stuyvesant’s time.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c001'>AN INTERESTING PIONEER FAMILY.</h3>
-
-<p class='c006'>James and Isaac Savage and their two sisters, came to America
-from Ireland. Afterward, about 1763, their father, James Savage,
-being then an aged man, came to this country to Newton, Mass.,
-where the two daughters had settled. There he died and was buried.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>His sons, James and Isaac, settled at Woolwich, Me., where James
-was early killed by the Indians. Isaac married and had a large
-family. His wife’s name is not known. Among their children was
-a son, who settled at Wiscasset, Me., another son who settled at
-Woolwich and another son, James, who also settled at Wiscasset.
-James (3) married Mary Hilton, who was born at Berwick, Me., in
-1721, and lived to be 100 years old. James and Mary had seventeen
-children. Order of birth is not known.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>They were as follows: Isaac, who married Deborah Soule;
-Abigail, married, June 13, 1765, Robert Lambert; Lydia, married,
-February 1, 1776, Daniel Ring; Hannah, born 1745, married Thomas
-McFadden; James, married Annah Young; Ebenezer, born 1753,
-married Sarah Chase; Abraham, married, in 1783, Patience Young;
-John, married, in 1783, Susannah Tinkham or Pinkham; Jacob,
-born in 1759, married, in 1781, Hannah Gray; Mary, married, in
-1795, John Card; Charles, married, in 1784, Margaret Corillard,
-and married, second, about 1785, Margaret Rose Lovejoy; Catherine,
-died April 24, 1800, unmarried; Edward, born 1776, married, June
-6, 1790, Sarah Smith; Andrew, born 1769, married Tamson Tibbetts;

-  <h3 class='c001'>EDWARD O’BRIEN’S SCHOOL DICTIONARY.</h3>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>An interesting historical paragraph recently contributed, states
-that in 1798 Edward O’Brien printed in New Haven, Conn., his
-“School Dictionary: Being a compendium of the latest and most
-improved dictionaries,” which exists in two copies—the British
-Museum copy (perfect) and the Yale College Library copy (lacking
-ten pages). This was the first dictionary by an American author
-published in this country. It has no date, but is thought to have
-been issued towards the end of 1798. Its author, who taught school
-in Guilford, Conn., was born there March 10, 1757, and died there
-August 20, 1836. Soon after its publication its author and the Rev.
-John Elliott (1768–1824, great-great-grandson of John Elliott, the
-Indian apostle) prepared the second American dictionary, which was
-copyrighted in June, 1799, and published in January, 1800.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c001'>A PATRIOT OF THE REVOLUTION.</h3>
-
-<p class='c006'>James Stevenson, a native of Ireland, was born in 1750 and was
-brought to this country when a child. During the Revolutionary
-War he served as a sergeant in Colonel Evans’ Pennsylvania regiment,
-was captured by the enemy and held for a year in the notorious
-British prison ships.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>After the war he married Hannah Bull, a daughter of Col. John
-Bull, of Chester County, Pa., a soldier of the Revolution. They
-removed to Lawrence County, Pa., Mr. Stevenson dying in Poland,
-Ohio, in 1834. He left many descendants and a society has been
-formed among them. It holds annual reunions.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among his descendants may be mentioned: John H. Stevenson, of
-Allegheny; Prof. William M. Stevenson, of Pittsburg; Rev. Frank
-B. Stevenson, of New Castle; Dr. Silas Stevenson; James A. Stevenson
-and E. S. Stevenson, of New Castle; T. D. Stevenson, of
-New Bedford, Pa.; Mrs. Rebecca Stevenson Neal, of Pulaski, Pa.;
-Capt. Thomas S. Calhoun, of Georgetown, Pa.; Thomas S. McCready,
-of Manchester, Kas.; Homer A. McCready, of Hancock

-  <h3 class='c001'>THE HALEYS OF THE ISLES OF SHOALS.</h3>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>Andrew Haley was of the Isles of Shoals. He was of Irish blood
-and had a son, Andrew, who married Elizabeth Scammon, of Kittery,
-Me., in 1697. Andrew Haley, Sr., early settled on the islands and
-eventually became styled “King of the Shoals.” He and his descendants
-seem to have long occupied that portion of the Shoals known
-as Haley’s Island. In the <cite>Collections of the Massachusetts Historical
-Society</cite>, for 1800, is a paper descriptive of the Shoals, from which
-paper we extract the following: “The only secure harbour in these
-islands is Haley’s, which opens to the S. W., having Haley’s island
-S. E., Malaga N. W., a wall built by Mr. Haley, between 70 and 80
-paces in length, on the N. E.... At the close of the year 1800
-there were on Haley’s island, three decent dwelling houses, occupied
-by Mr. Haley, an ingenious and respectable old gentleman of seventy-six,
-and his two sons, with their families. Mr. Haley has expended
-a handsome fortune in erecting the expensive wall before mentioned,
-wharves, and other useful works. Among these are a windmill, rope
-walk, 270 feet long; salt works erected before the war [Revolution],
-a bake house, brewery, distillery, built in 1783, and a blacksmith’s
-and cooper’s shop.”</p>
-
-<h3 class='c001'>THE IMPORTATION OF IRISH BUTTER.</h3>
-
-<p class='c006'>Long before the Revolution, and long after that period, Irish pork
-and butter were imported to this country in great quantities. A Boston
-paper publishes the following letter, which was dated October 29,
-1763, and sent from a leading firm in Boston to parties in Ireland:
-“This is to Desire you will as soon as possible &amp; without Fail
-Ship us from Cork 250 Barrels Best Irish Pork &amp; 100 Firkins of
-good Irish Butter, the weight of each Barrell of Pork to be mark’d on
-the head, to be well Pack’d. This Article will be very Scarce &amp; Dear
-here, that we must Depend upon your shipping it with the 100 Firkins
-of Butter [all] to be here in March if possible &amp; if no oppor’y to this
-place Ship it to Halifax to the care of Benj. Gerrish Esqr. and as
-soon as the next May Butter is fit to ship we Desire you will then ship
-us 100 Firkins more of the best Rose May Butter. We rely on your
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_58'>58</span>care to have these articles of the best kind &amp; purchased at the best
-Rates, which charge to our accott. We beg your attention to this
-that we may not by any means be disappointed, as we shall be in
-great want of it. We are with Respect, Gent., Your most hum.

-
-<h3 class='c001'>THE DISTRICT KNOWN AS IRISH TRACT.</h3>
-
-<p class='c006'>A Moravian missionary who went from Pennsylvania to Georgia,
-in 1743–’44, writes that while in the lower valley of Virginia: “I
-asked him (Joist Hite) for the way to Carolina. He told me of
-one which runs for 150 miles through Irish settlements, the district
-being known as Irish tract.”—(<cite>Virginia Magazine of History and
-Biography</cite>, October, 1904.)</p>
-
-<h3 class='c001'>TWO INTERESTING HISTORICAL FRAGMENTS.</h3>
-
-<p class='c006'>Barnabas Palmer, of Rochester, N. H., was born in Cork or Limerick,
-1725, emigrated from there with two brothers, and enlisted
-under Sir William Pepperill. Barnabas sailed from Portsmouth,
-N. H.,—one of the force of 3,000 men, 1745, and on the Isle of Cape
-Breton, under Fort Louisburg, left his right arm. Subsequently he
-settled in Rochester, N. H., married, had fourteen children, and was
-a member of the General Court of New Hampshire that ratified the
-Constitution of the United States. Here is another fragment of history:
-Lieutenant-General Pepperrell, in 1745, ordered Maj. John
-Stover to organize a company at Wells, Me., for the Louisburg expedition.
-The order was promptly carried out. Among the volunteers
-were Edward Welch, John Conaway, James Gillpatrick, John
-McDaniel, James Read, Michael Wilson and John Burks (Burke?).
-They sailed March 24, 1745, for Cape Breton. Some of the company
-died there. In the fall of 1745 most of the survivors returned
-to Wells.</p>

-  <h3 class='c001'>WORKMEN FIND AN INTERESTING COIN.</h3>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>Workmen who were digging in Congress Street [Boston] the other
-day found an interesting old coin which is said by experts to link the
-records of Boston currency nearly two centuries ago with a mintage
-controversy that stirred even the phlegmatic George III, and elicited
-some of the most famous witticisms of Dean Swift and dignified
-declarations of Sir Isaac Newton. It is about one third larger than
-an American quarter and has on the obverse side an idealized head
-of George III, in the center, surrounded with the words “<span lang="la" xml:lang="la">Georgius
-Deo Gratia Rex</span>.” Perhaps the intrinsic interest is in the reverse
-side, which has in the center a symbolic figure of Ireland, bearing a
-harp, and on the border is stamped “<span lang="la" xml:lang="la">Hibernia—1723</span>.” The first
-anomaly in this is that, although it was on its face an Irish coin, it
-was neither coined nor circulated in that country, but, owing to indignant
-protests of Irish dealers, crystallized by the sarcasms of that
-witty divine, Dean Swift, it was shipped over to Boston, where it circulated
-as the “colonial half-penny.” In the old country it was
-called the “Woods half-penny,” on account of its coinage by a Londoner
-of that name. This was the chief element of grievance, as
-Ireland was then approaching the time when the aspiration of a
-Grattan were to find realization, and Swift argued in his famous
-Drapier letters that the country should not have these foreign and
-false coins passed upon it.—(<cite>Boston Transcript</cite>, October 12, 1895.)</p>

-<h3 class='c001'>DENNIS MACCARTY OF WARREN, R. I.</h3>
-

-<div class='nf-center c003'>
-    <div><span class='small'>BY MISS VIRGINIA BAKER, OF WARREN.</span></div>

-
-<p class='c006'>Since I forwarded the data relating to Dennis and William Mackarty,
-I have again examined the probate records of this town, and
-have made the discovery that the will of Dennis Maccarty of Warren
-was probated November 7, 1757. As Dennis of Bristol did not
-die until 1760, it follows that there must have been living in Bristol
-County two men bearing the same name, both of whom served in the
-French wars.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_60'>60</span>I enclose a copy of the will of Dennis of Warren. In 1757, Warren,
-as you know, included Barrington. You will notice that the
-legatees mentioned in the will were all Barrington men; therefore, I
-conclude that that Dennis resided in the west section of the town.
-Again, the testator mentions no kindred, while Dennis of Bristol had
-a wife and son. Here is the will mentioned:</p>

-<h3 class='c001'>THE VOYAGE OF THE SEAFLOWER.</h3>
-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c003'>
-    <div><span class='small'>From <cite>The Recorder</cite> (I. A. H. S.), February, 1902.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>The sloop <em>Seaflower</em> left Belfast, Ireland, July 10, 1741, bound
-for Philadelphia, in the province of Pennsylvania. She had 106
-persons aboard, mainly emigrants.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The <em>Seaflower</em> was owned by Joseph Thompson of New Haven,
-Conn., and Capt. Ebenezer Clark, master of the sloop. Thompson
-owned three fourths and Clark the remainder. When about two
-weeks out, Captain Clark, the master, sickened and died and the mate
-was also taken ill.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Thus began a reign of suffering, wretchedness and misery that has
-seldom been surpassed in the annals of ocean voyages. Some time
-after the master’s death the sloop sprung her mast and to add to the
-horrors of the voyage the supply of water and provisions began to
-run low.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The accident to the mast, the sickness and other troubles greatly
-extended the voyage so that long before the American coast was
-sighted many of the ship’s company and passengers had perished of
-hunger.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In order to sustain life the living were driven to feed on the dead.
-Six bodies had been thus consumed and the seventh was being cut up
-when the <em>Success</em>, man-of-war, came alongside and her captain supplied
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_62'>62</span>the well-nigh crazed survivors of the <em>Seaflower</em> with provisions
-sufficient to bring them into port.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Now to account for this fearful voyage: It is possible that the
-sloop was overcrowded on leaving Belfast; also that a miscalculation
-had been made as to the probable length of time that would be required
-for the voyage, this leading to an inadequate supply of water
-and provisions. The death of the master and the illness of the mate
-likewise had a decided tendency to complicate matters. When the
-food supply was at length exhausted, and the last drop of water
-gone, thirst was added to the horrors of hunger. With the vessel
-still many leagues from land, the awful sufferings of passengers and
-crew can be imagined, not described.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Forty-six died on the passage.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The <em>Seaflower</em> cast anchor in Boston Harbor, October 31, sixteen
-weeks having elapsed since she sailed from Ireland. On the date
-mentioned, October 31, 1741, the selectmen of Boston convened in
-session, there being present: Captain Forsyth, Caleb Lyman, Jonas
-Clark, Mr. Hancock, Mr. Cook and Captain Steel. At this meeting
-was considered “The sloop <em>Seaflower</em> this day arrived from Belfast,
-Ebenezer Clark, late master, with 65 passengrs on board....”
-The following minute was recorded, viz., that</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Whereas a Sloop from Ireland with a number of Passengers on
-board being arrived in this Harbour &amp; apprehending danger may
-acrue to the Inhabitants by reason of the Hardships the People have
-Suffered in their Passage being obliged to eat some of their People
-to Sustain Life, Voted That the Select Men View the State of the
-Persons on board with Doct<sup>r</sup> Clark &amp; Report what Circumstances
-they are in....”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The selectmen accordingly visited the afflicted survivors of the
-<em>Seaflower</em> and found the facts as here outlined. So serious was the
-case, that the Selectmen again met on November 2 and decided to
-wait on the governor and council to acquaint them with the conditions
-and see what could be done. The same day, November 2, a
-meeting of the governor and council was held in the council chamber
-in Boston, the selectmen appeared, stated their case and sought
-advice.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>They declared that about thirty of the passengers were in “very
-low circumstances &amp; not able of taking care of themselves, but
-require the speediest care to preserve life.” The selectmen prayed
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_63'>63</span>“that suitable provision may be made for them or else they must
-perish.” The governor and council accordingly</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Ordered that the selectmen secure the papers belonging to the
-owners and last master, with the goods aboard and dispose of the
-servants and passengers in hospital on Rainsford’s island, where they
-were to be supported and nursed. It was also ordered that the
-“owners of the said Sloop” be speedily advised of existing conditions
-and requested to come to Boston, “pay the Charges herein expended
-&amp; take all further Care in the Premisses as shall be necessary.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The selectmen thereupon sent an express to Joseph Thompson, of
-New Haven, asking him to repair to Boston and take charge of the
-<em>Seaflower</em> and servants. They likewise directed the town clerk of
-Boston to write to Mr. Thompson. The selectmen also voted that
-Captain Forsyth and Captain Steel of their number be a committee
-to go aboard the sloop and take an account of the papers, etc., and
-secure them, Mr. Savell to see that the unfortunate people were supplied
-with all things necessary to their comfort until the vessel was
-taken to Rainsford’s island. Mr. Ball was directed to take the
-sloop there as soon as possible.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>On Tuesday morning, the vessel and passengers were taken over
-to the island “with the help of Capt. Tyng &amp; his People who came
-in the long boat &amp; other persons.” The passengers were all carried
-ashore and lodged in the hospital. Doctor Clark gave directions for
-the treatment of the patients, and men were put in charge of the
-vessel and the goods aboard.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The selectmen met again on November 16. Mr. Thompson of New
-Haven appeared and stated that he owned three fourths of the sloop
-and that Ebenezer Clark, the deceased master, owned the rest. He
-asked that the vessel’s papers he delivered to him and this was done.
-Thompson and Captain Steel, the latter one of the selectmen,
-assumed all the charges incurred.</p>

-  <h3 class='c001'>THE STORY OF MISS FITZGERALD.</h3>
-</div>
-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c003'>
-    <div><span class='small'>From <cite>The Recorder</cite> (A. I. H. S.), Boston, Mass., December, 1901.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>Portsmouth, R. I., was settled in 1638. Nine years later it was the
-most populous town in the colony. Here Eleazar Slocum was born
-on the “25th day of the 10th month 1664.” He resided there until
-some twenty years of age when he removed to Dartmouth Township,
-now included in the city of New Bedford, Mass.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In Dartmouth he wedded an Irish girl named Elephell Fitzgerald.
-Concerning her there are two theories. The first is that she
-was the daughter of an Irish earl and came to this country with
-her sister, who was eloping with an English officer. The second theory
-is that favored by Charles E. Slocum, M. D. Ph. D. In his
-<cite>History of the Slocums</cite> he inclines to the belief that Miss Fitzgerald
-was one of those Irish maidens who were shipped to New England
-in Cromwell’s time or at later periods.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>There were doubtless large numbers of these Irish girls brought
-over. The majority of them were, without question, Roman Catholics.
-Frequently their fate was a hard and cruel one. Thebaud,
-in his <cite>Irish Race in the Past and the Present</cite>, writing on the subject
-says:</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Such of them as were sent North were to be distributed among
-the ‘saints’ of New England, to be esteemed by the said ‘saints’ as
-‘idolaters,’ ‘vipers,’ ‘young reprobates,’ just objects of ‘the wrath of
-God’; or, if appearing to fall in with their new and hard task-masters,
-to be greeted with words of dubious praise as ‘brands snatched
-from the burning,’ ‘vessels of reprobation,’ destined, perhaps, by a
-due initiation of the ‘saints’ to become ‘vessels of election,’ in the
-meantime to be unmercifully scourged with the ‘besom of righteousness,’
-at the slightest fault or mistake.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Some, however, met a better fate. Their lines fell in more fortunate
-places. In many cases they were kindly treated and, in time,
-married into the families of their recent masters. Some of them, too,
-reared large families of manly sons and womanly daughters and lived
-to a happy old age. Many of their descendants must exist today
-in high places. Perhaps some are not aware of their maternal Irish
-descent, while a few may be reluctant to acknowledge it if they are.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_65'>65</span>Yet, many of these Irish girls were descended from the old nobility
-and clansmen whose names and fames had ranked with the most
-illustrious in Europe.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Miss Fitzgerald’s marriage to Eleazar Slocum took place about
-1687. Their children were Meribah, born in 1689; Mary, born
-1691; Eleazar, born in 1693–’94; John, 1696–’97; Benjamin, 1699,
-and Joanna, 1702. There was also another child named Ebenezer.
-In 1699 the husband and father is recorded as giving £3 toward
-building a Quaker meeting house. His will was proved in 1727.
-It makes the following provisions concerning his wife:</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Item—I give and bequeath Elephell, my beloved wife, the sum
-of twenty pounds [per] annum of Good and Lawful money of New
-England, to be paid Yearly and Every Year By my Execut<sup>rs</sup> During
-her Naturall life—</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Item—I give and bequeath to Elephell my beloved wife an Indian
-girl named Dorcas During the time she hath to Serve by Indenture—she
-fulfilling all articles on my behalf—</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Item—I give and Bequeath to Elephell my beloved wife, The
-great low room of my Dwelling house with the two bedrooms belonging
-together with the Chamber over it and the Bedrooms belonging
-thereto, and the Garrett and also what part of the N<sup>w</sup> Addition she
-shall Choose and one half of the cellar, During her Naturall life.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Item—I will that my executors procure and supply Elephell my
-wife with firewood sufficient During her Naturall life, And whatsoever
-Provisions and Corn shall be left after my Decease, I give to
-Elephell my wife for her support, and also the hay for Support of
-the Cattle. The above gifts and Bequests is all and what I intend
-for Elephell my wife instead of her thirds or Dowry.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>To his son Eleazar he bequeathed the northerly part of the homestead
-farm, 100 acres, with house, barns, orchard, etc.; to son
-Ebenezer, the southerly part of the homestead farm “on which my
-dwelling house stands.” To Eleazar and Ebenezer he also gives
-other lands, and to Ebenezer, in addition one pair of oxen, a pair of
-steers, eight cows, two heifers and £12. The remainder of the horses,
-cattle, etc., he gives to Eleazar and Ebenezer. The inventory shows
-£5,790 18s 11d personal estate.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>His widow, Elephell (Fitzgerald) Slocum, made a will “the 19th
-day of the first month called March 1745–6.” It was proved October
-4, 1748. Joanna, one of her daughters, married Daniel, son of
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_66'>66</span>John Weeden of Jamestown, R. I. A son of theirs was named
-Gideon Slocum Weeden.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The late Esther B. Carpenter of Wakefield, R. I., author of a delightful
-volume of sketches entitled <cite>South County Neighbors</cite>, once
-alluded to Miss Fitzgerald in a note to the writer. Miss Carpenter
-said that she remembered to have heard her maternal grandmother
-say that she valued her Irish line of descent from Miss Fitzgerald
-above any other she could claim. This Irish connection had always
-been a common remark in the family. The grandmother in question
-had named one of her daughters Alice Joanna after her Irish ancestress,
-whose daughter Joanna had married a Weeden as already
-stated. Many of the Weeden, Slocum and other families now in
-Rhode Island trace descent back to Elephell, the gentle Irish girl.
-Descendants of Elephell (Fitzgerald) Slocum are found today in
-New Bedford, Mass. The writer recently conversed with one of
-them.</p>

-<h3 class='c001'>THE DEFENCE OF FORT STEPHENSON ON THE SANDUSKY.</h3>
-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c003'>
-    <div><span class='small'>By J. W. Faulkner, in the Cincinnati <cite>Enquirer</cite>.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>“We have determined to hold this place, and, by heavens, we can.”
-This was the closing sentence of a military despatch written on the
-night of July 29, 1813. It was penned in the commandant’s room of
-the rude stockade known as Fort Stephenson, on the Sandusky River.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The writer was Maj. George Croghan, of the Seventeenth United
-States Infantry, a boy who had just attained his twenty-first year.
-It was addressed to Gen. William Henry Harrison, in command of
-the American forces in the Northwest. The reply of General Harrison
-to this remarkable despatch was an order removing Major Croghan
-from command and ordering him to report to headquarters under
-virtual arrest for disobedience.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Young Croghan responded promptly, traversing a dangerous
-country. Face to face with his general he explained that it was not
-braggadocio that inspired the language of his message. When it
-was written it was expected that it would fall into the hands of the
-enemy, then boastfully advancing to the attack. With the warlike
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_67'>67</span>eloquence that came as heritage from his Irish ancestors, Major Croghan
-showed his general that it was too late to retreat from the fort,
-and that it was a necessary military maneuver to hold it pending the
-execution of other movements. His tongue won for him what every
-great soul desires—opportunity. Restored to command, he returned
-to the fort and won a victory that will forever live in the annals of
-the early republic.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Not long ago the body of Major Croghan was interred at the
-base of the monument erected to the memory of the soldiers of Sandusky
-County. This imposing shaft marks the site of the old fort
-where the dead hero won his laurels and where the blow was struck
-that opened the way to ultimate victory over the British and Indian
-power in the northwestern country. Over his grave will stand as a
-silent witness the single cannon used in defense of the fort, an ancient
-six-pounder, which wears the affectionate feminine sobriquet of
-“Old Betsy.” It was a single belch from the iron jaws of this that
-decided the fate of the battle, and though inanimate, still it deserved
-a share of the glory that surrounded the interment of the gallant
-Croghan.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Since that eventful day in August many great events have occurred
-to fill the pages of history. General Harrison became greater and
-filled the president’s chair. Around the base of the old fort a city
-has sprung up named after Gen. John C. Fremont, the Pathfinder.
-In Croghan’s day the little settlement was known as Lower Sandusky,
-to distinguish it from the city in Wyandot County known as Upper
-Sandusky. So powerful a pleader as Rutherford B. Hayes, then a
-practising attorney at the Sandusky County bar, and afterward president
-of the United States, pleaded that the old name be permitted
-to stand.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>There was pomp and ceremony to mark the final sepulture of the
-old commander’s dust in the ground that he hallowed with his victory,
-but no greater tribute could be paid to his soldier memory than
-to tell again the story of the battle. He came of fighting stock,
-this young American soldier. The blood of “Kelly, Burke and Shea”
-flowed in his veins and he smelled the battle from afar off. His father
-was William Croghan, an Irishman, born in Dublin in 1752, but
-who was well settled in this country when the War of the Revolution
-broke out. He fought at Monmouth, Brandywine and Germantown,
-and froze with the rest of the immortal band at Valley Forge.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_68'>68</span>Joining in the drift from the Virginias across the mountains, he
-reached the settlement at the falls of the Ohio, where Louisville now
-stands. In 1791 he married Lucy Clark, sister of George Rogers
-Clark, the mighty figure of the Vincennes campaign, who saved an
-empire to the American republic. Another brother, William, was the
-Clark who, with Captain Lewis, made the historic exploration tour
-across the then unknown continent. Of such a union was born the
-man whom a state and a nation afterward honored for bravery. The
-exact place of his birth was at Locust Grove, Ky., a few miles below
-Louisville. When but twenty years of age he gained distinction at
-the battle of Tippecanoe, and was promoted to a captaincy in March,
-1812, being detailed as aide-de-camp to General Harrison, with the
-rank of major. This was his condition when the events that were to
-make him famous began to unfold themselves.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The Indians, under Tecumseh, and the British, under General
-Proctor, had raised the siege of Fort Meigs, in what is now Wood
-County, and were coming toward the post at Upper Sandusky and
-Seneca. The British sailed around into Sandusky Bay, while their
-Indian allies marched across through the swamps and marshes of the
-Portage River. They expected to meet and make a combined attack
-upon Lower Sandusky while Harrison was engaged in protecting
-Forts Winchester and Meigs. The work known as Fort Stephenson
-was in reality an old stockade used for storage purposes, and inclosed
-an acre of ground.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Examination by Harrison some days before the allies invested Fort
-Meigs showed that the stockade was commanded by a hill to the
-southeast. It was not strong enough to resist heavy artillery, and
-only 200 men could be accommodated as a garrison. Croghan was
-left in charge, with orders that if the British approached by water,
-which carried the presumption that if they had their heavy artillery,
-he was to retreat, if possible, destroying both the fort and the public
-stores. If only the Indians came he was to stand fast, as retreat
-through these wary hostiles was an impossibility and a defense was a
-certainty.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>On July 29 Harrison received word that the siege of Fort Meigs
-had been raised and that it seemed the intention of the allies to descend
-upon either Sandusky or Seneca. At a council of war held
-that night it was decided that Fort Stephenson was untenable and
-orders were sent to Major Croghan to carry out his original instructions.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_69'>69</span>This order did not reach Croghan until the next morning at
-eleven o’clock. A council of his officers reached the decision that it
-was too late to retreat and the famous note was sent and the meeting
-with Harrison arranged. On August 1 the advance guard of the
-enemy was seen on the hill over the river. They were the fleet-footed
-Indians who had been observed by a reconnoitering party from headquarters
-the day before. There was but one piece of artillery in the
-fort, “Old Betsey,” and it was promptly fired, causing the redskins
-to retire. Within a half hour the British gunboats, a part of Commodore
-Barclay’s fleet, hove into sight. A landing was effected a half
-mile below the fort and a howitzer disembarked and mounted.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>A British officer, Major Chambers, with a flag of truce, was sent
-forward and was met by Ensign Shipp, of the Seventeenth Regiment.
-The visitor demanded in the name of General Proctor the immediate
-surrender of the fort. The Americans were warned that it would be
-almost impossible to restrain the Indians in case of success, and that
-the whole garrison would be slain. The gallant answer was returned
-that the Indians would find no one to massacre when the fort fell, for
-every man had sworn to die before surrender.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The battle then opened, the gunboats, the land battery, five hundred
-Wellington veterans and eight hundred Indians joining in the attack.
-Throughout the evening Croghan fired his six pounder in a desultory
-way, moving it from place to place to make it appear that he had more
-artillery. Ascertaining from the enemy’s fire that the northwestern
-angle of the fort was to be reached, he made preparation to checkmate
-his plans. During the night the gun was removed to a block house
-which commanded that angle and the embrasure was masked. The
-piece itself was loaded with grape and slugs. Croghan’s foresight
-was vindicated when the next day additional artillery was landed and
-the hammering of the doomed angle was renewed. The shaking wall
-was reinforced with bags of sand and even of flour, making it capable
-of resisting the pounding. On the evening of August 2 the grand
-assault was launched, Colonel Short leading the principal column.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>He rallied his men with great bravery under a destructive rifle fire
-and gained the ditch beneath the stockade walls. There he ordered
-his men to cut down the pickets and give the Americans no quarter.
-At the proper second of time the masked embrasure was thrown open
-and the slug-charged cannon was permitted to belch its death-dealing
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_70'>70</span>contents into the close packed mass of soldiers at short range. Few
-escaped this destructive fire. Colonel Short was killed.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The second column, led by Major Chambers and Colonel Warburton,
-was also defeated by the line in charge of Captain Hunter.
-When night came the enemy withdrew in a disorderly fashion, leaving
-behind them one of their gunboats, some of the wounded, much ammunition
-and many guns. At nine o’clock the next morning, Major
-Croghan sent an express to Harrison announcing his victory and the
-retirement of the defeated enemy. The defenders of the fort lost
-only one killed and seven wounded of the 100 men who answered roll
-call. Ten times that number opposed them, and 2,000 more were in
-reserve near Fort Meigs to cut off any reinforcement from that direction.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In his official report of the battle Harrison said: “It will not be
-among the least of Proctor’s mortifications that he has been baffled
-by a youth who has just passed his twenty-first year. He is, however,
-a hero worthy of his gallant uncle, Gen. George Rogers Clark.”
-The brevet rank of lieutenant-colonel was at once conferred upon the
-young hero by the president of the United States, and he was presented
-with a sword by the ladies of Chillicothe. Of this victory,
-Gen. W. T. Sherman, writing from the standpoint of a military expert,
-said: “The defense of Fort Stephenson by Croghan and his
-gallant little band was the necessary precursor to Perry’s victory on
-the lake and of Harrison’s triumphant victory on the Thames.
-These assured our immediate ancestors the mastery of the great
-West, and from that day to this the West has been the bulwark of
-the nation.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The following year saw him made a full lieutenant-colonel. He
-served with distinction until 1817, when he resigned and went to New
-Orleans to live. He was made postmaster of that city in 1824.
-Some years later he was appointed inspector general of the army, and
-in 1835 he was voted a gold medal by Congress in recognition of his
-fight of twenty-two years before.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>He died on January 8, 1849, while the guns were thundering their
-salutes in honor of another great victory, that of General Jackson,
-another Irishman’s son, over Packenham and the British below New
-Orleans in 1814. His body was removed to the old family burying
-ground at Locust Grove and buried near that of his famous uncle,
-where they were found last June by Maj. Webb C. Hayes, acting for
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_71'>71</span>the Fremont Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution,
-which is named after Major Croghan.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>They were removed to Fremont on June 10, and were placed temporarily
-in the vault at Oakwood Cemetery. The pall-bearers were
-five venerable survivors of the Mexican War who had enlisted in Sandusky
-County. The youngest was seventy-seven years of age and the
-oldest eighty-five. As Croghan was inspector-general of the army
-during the Mexican War, they can be said to have served under him.
-The dead hero left three children. His only son, St. George Croghan,
-died on the field early in the Civil War, wearing the gray of the
-Confederate army. A grandson, also George Croghan, survives, and
-there are other descendants on the distaff side.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The Daughters of the American Revolution have erected on the
-British redoubt 250 yards northwest of Fort Stephenson a tablet commemorating
-the fact that it was there that the cannon from Commodore
-Barclay’s fleet thundered against Croghan’s walls. Exultingly
-the fact is proclaimed that Barclay was afterward wounded and his
-entire fleet, including the cannon which had been used against Fort
-Stephenson, was captured by Commodore Perry at the battle of Lake
-Erie in the following September.</p>

-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c003'>
-    <div><span class='small'>Compiled from an Article by “Iveagh,” in the <cite>Belfast</cite> (Ireland) <cite>Witness</cite>.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>The year 1718 marks an epoch in the history of America, because
-in that year a band of sturdy Ulster men turned their faces and
-fortunes towards the new world. This early and most important
-organized company of emigrants to leave Ireland in the eighteenth
-century sailed from Lough Foyle in the year above named, and consisted
-of about 100 families. (Marmion’s <cite>Maritime Ports of Ireland</cite>.)
-These people founded a colony in New Hampshire which
-became famous in the history of America. The emigrants were of
-as much importance to America as were those of Plymouth, and
-from them are descended equally if not more distinguished men.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1727, 3,000 people sailed for the North American colonies
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_72'>72</span>from Belfast Lough. The following year, ships took 1,000 more,
-and in the next three years as many as 4,200. The tidings
-of the success of the New Hampshire colonists and of those who
-preceded them to other parts of America, drew between the years
-1720 and 1742 over 3,000 emigrants annually from Ulster alone.
-(Gordon’s <cite>History of Ireland</cite>.) This enormous emigration, for the
-period, was stimulated by the rich resources and grand opportunities
-offered in a new country on the one hand, and on the other by the
-land laws and the restrictions placed on Irish industries.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In 1736 a number of families emigrated from Banbridge, County
-Down, and neighborhood; amongst them were members of the Glass,
-MacDowell, Magill, Mulholland, Linn and other families. These
-people settled in the Shenandoah Valley on the banks of the Opequan,
-Virginia.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the beautiful valley of Shenandoah, three miles south of Winchester,
-Va., you will find the ruins of the old Opequan Presbyterian
-Church, destroyed in the Civil War. From the Donegal (Pennsylvania)
-Presbytery, as early as 1736, the Presbyterian settlers received
-attention, as they were visited by missionaries and ministers from
-that Presbytery, making it the earliest preaching place in the valley.
-The first pastor was John Hodge, who may justly be esteemed the
-founder of the church, as he gave five acres of land for the church
-site and graveyard. Mr. Hodge, with many of his large family, are
-buried there, as well as Samuel Glass, the emigrant from Banbridge.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Samuel Glass, the leader of the Banbridge emigrants, took up
-his residence at the head spring of the Opequan, after many wanderings
-through the then almost pathless woods, naming the homestead
-Greenwood, from the grand old forest which covered for the most
-part the 16,000 acres of land which he had purchased. His son
-David settled lower down the river, at a place named Cherry Mead,
-and Robert, another son, took up his abode at Long Meadows. James
-Vance, a son-in-law of Samuel Glass, resided in the same neighborhood.
-Another son-in-law named Becket, lived between the Glass
-estate and North Mountain.—(Foot’s <cite>Sketches of Virginia</cite>, second
-edition.) Samuel Glass died at an advanced age, honored and respected
-by all the settlers over a large portion of the state; he had
-centered in his person many good characteristics—courage, thrift,
-perseverance. In the cemetery, near the old homestead, stands a
-monument to Samuel Glass and his wife, erected by his descendants.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_73'>73</span>It is an obelisk, executed in limestone, standing on a pedestal, in all

-<p class='c007'>Samuel Glass had six children: John, Eliza, Sarah, David, Robert
-and Joseph—all born at Banbridge. Joseph Glass, the son of
-Samuel Glass, had twelve children: Mary, Samuel, Robert,
-Georgetta, Sarah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Martha, Ruth, David, Nancy,
-and Sophia. Joseph Glass, son of Joseph, son of Samuel, the emigrant,
-entered the ministry of the Presbyterian Church. He was
-much esteemed, and widely known as an eloquent preacher. Other
-members of the family also distinguished themselves.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>William Linn, son of one of these settlers, was born at Banbridge
-and served under Lord Dunmore, Governor of Virginia, in the wars
-with the Indians. In the several encounters which took place he
-distinguished himself, and was rewarded with a commission as lieutenant.
-Soon after the breaking out of hostilities with the mother
-country, Linn joined the First Virginia Regiment with the rank of
-lieutenant.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>An expedition was organized with the object of securing ammunition
-from the Spanish authorities at New Orleans. Capt. George Gibson,
-an Ulsterman, was entrusted with the leadership of the party,
-and attended by Lieutenant Linn, with a detachment of their company,
-descended the river Ohio from Fort Pitt on the 19th of May,
-1776, reaching New Orleans on the 22d of September, after a succession
-of adventures that, in narrative, more resemble romance than
-the features of sober truth. The shores of the Ohio were lined with
-hostile Indians, and no white man before had attempted the voyage.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_74'>74</span>Captain Gibson having accomplished his mission, and being secretly
-released from prison, in which he had been confined to remove the
-suspicion of the British residents, placed Lieutenant Linn in command.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Captain Gibson took ship from New Orleans, taking with him the
-powder for service on the seaboard, and in due course landed at
-Philadelphia, and from thence proceeded to Virginia. Linn’s party,
-with a total strength of forty-three men, arrived at Wheeling in the
-spring of 1777, with the barges containing the supply of powder for
-the western posts. The party suffered many hardships and ran considerable
-risk from the Indians. For this important and arduous
-service Gibson was raised to the rank of major and Linn to that of
-captain. In 1780 we find Linn a colonel commanding a battalion
-at the battle of Pigua or Chillicothe, in which action he distinguished
-himself with bravery, his battalion having borne the brunt of the
-battle, losing many of its men. Colonel Linn continued to serve the
-revolted colonies after they had achieved their independence. He
-was ordered to the West to assist in the campaign against the Northwest
-Indians, and was killed in attempting to reach a secret rendezvous
-at a place called No-Linn-Hill, in Kentucky—a name acquired
-from the first exclamation of surprise by a party of his men not
-finding him at the spot.</p>

-<div class='footnote' id='f6'>
-<p class='c006'><a href='#r6'>6</a>. Died in September, 1905. He was a founder of the Society and its first treasurer-general.
-This paper was the opening one of a series contributed by him to the Boston
-<cite>Pilot</cite>, in 1890, and bearing the general title of “How the Irish Came as Builders of the
-Nation.”</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>“The Massachusetts Bay” was, of all the original thirteen colonies,
-the most hostile towards the Irish, and it made but little difference
-with the Puritans whether the former were Catholic or Presbyterian,
-all fared alike, and were looked upon as people neither to be encouraged
-nor tolerated.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>However, they continued to come in, despite this dislike, in one
-capacity or another, and one—Captain Patrick—appears in the records
-of 1632. Florence McCarthy was a resident of Boston in 1686.
-He was a butcher by occupation, and one of the founders of the first
-Episcopal Church in the town.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Esther MacCarty’s name is signed to an indenture, as a witness,
-about the same period. According to Palfrey, New England, up to
-the beginning of the great Irish emigration, was more unmixed in
-blood than any county in England. While this may seem true of
-Massachusetts, it will hardly apply to New Hampshire, and will
-not stand investigation in the Bay State, for according to the same
-authority, 400 or 500 Scotch were transported by Cromwell to  Massachusetts
-in 1651, and thirty-four years later 150 families of French
-Huguenots came, followed in 1719, by 120 families of Irish, mainly
-from the North of Ireland. To these mentioned by Palfrey must
-be added, on the authority of Drake, 200 families of the unfortunate
-Acadians sent to Massachusetts about 1750.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>No mention is made at all of the thousands sold into a kind of
-slavery by Cromwell to New England and the West India Islands,
-from Ireland, and yet, between 1651 and 1655, on the authority of
-Prendergast, over 6,000 boys and girls, mainly from the South of
-Ireland, were shipped to those two points.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The addition of 400 or 500 Scotch, 150 families of French Huguenots
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_76'>76</span>and the unknown number of Irish arriving in Massachusetts in
-less than twenty-five years from the establishment of the colony of
-Massachusetts Bay, will justify a contradiction of this statement of
-Palfrey’s. The Acadians and the Irish are prolific, and in this respect
-could keep pace with their English neighbors, and a comparison
-of the well-known New England families of the past hundred years,
-with an equal number of families in any English county, will prove
-it, for names, as a rule, are the surest guides to nationalities, and
-scattered over New England, from the dates named, are families
-bearing well-known French and Gaelic names, many of them slightly
-changed, but enough left of the original to trace the transformation.
-When the War of the Revolution broke out, this mixture of English,
-Irish, Scotch and French blood was pretty well compounded, and it
-was not surprising that the men of the new American race humbled
-Britain, and brought her to her knees.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Adams and Hancock, Sullivan and Knox, Stark and McClary,
-Revere and Bowdoin were, in New England, representatives of the
-nations mentioned, while the names of Washington and Jefferson,
-Moylan and Carroll, Mercer and Paul Jones, Laurens and Marion,
-showed that the same process was at work throughout the colonies.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Many Americans, no matter whence they sprung, now mount the
-“Anglo-Saxon” hobby, which, like a circus steed, has been so well
-padded by writers of history that there is little danger of a dismount,
-and in order to be in harmony with the aristocratic trend of the age,
-a double hitch is provided by trotting out the “Scotch-Irish” nag as
-a running mate, a trifle bony, perhaps, and a little ungainly at first,
-but time, good feeding and careful grooming, will make a perfect
-match, for both are of the same stock-humbug—a princely origin, for
-in this age humbug is king, and its capital, unlimited, is wind.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>While Irish blankets and Kilkenny rugs were mercantile commodities
-in New Hampshire before King William of “glorious and immortal
-memory” had trigged the wheels, Irish butter was a most desirable
-article in Boston, as we find that John Hancock, among other
-goods advertised in his Faneuil Hall store, speaks of “Newcastle coal
-and Irish butter cheap for cash.” Cork from time immemorial being
-the great butter mart, it would not be at all surprising if some of the
-light-footed and light-hearted sons of that lively city came over with
-butter. McCarthy is one of the great Cork names, and in addition
-to Florence and Esther, named between 1680 and 1760, Elizabeth,
-Thade, William and Calvin Maccarty are met quite frequently
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_77'>77</span>in the records of the town of Boston, all persons of means and holding
-responsible positions.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Florence was town constable in 1693, and Thade Maccarty was
-elected to a similar position in 1673. For damage to her house,
-blown up to check a fire, Mrs. Elizabeth Maccarty was awarded the
-sum of $300 and Maccarty’s corner, on King Street, was a locality
-frequently mentioned. Florence was a man of consequence, and one
-of the leading men in his business. Leave was given him, in 1693,
-to build a slaughter house, and from the frequent mention made of
-him he must have been the John P. Squire of his day at the Hub.
-William Bryant was a servant of Capt. William Hudson in 1679,
-doubtless one of Cromwell’s transports, many of whom were, by that
-date, scattered over New England, especially in what is now Maine
-and New Hampshire. Larry is quite common along the border,
-between the Pine Tree and Granite states, and the first met in history
-bear the distinctive given names of Cornelius, Dennis and Teige.
-O’Leary is a South of Ireland name, and the presence of persons
-bearing it so early in the colonies, substantiates what is stated by
-Prendergast in the <cite>Cromwellian Settlement</cite>.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Eugene Linch (Lynch) came to Boston from Virginia in 1712.
-The name of Lynchburgh in the “Old Dominion” denoted the presence
-of this good old Galway name. Eugene found a wife in Beverly;
-and although bearing an aristocratic Norman name, he was not
-good enough to reside in Boston, being ordered to go to Beverly and
-stay with his wife. James Bettrell, “an Irish shoemaker,” had better
-luck, however, being allowed to remain, on giving bonds. James
-Barry was a noted huntsman in 1702, and was complained of for
-allowing his dogs to run loose. The town constable ordered him to
-shut them up.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>There is quite frequent mention of ships loaded with passengers
-from Ireland, bound for Pennsylvania or Virginia, putting into Boston,
-from stress of weather, want of provisions, or sickness among the
-people on board. Care was taken by the town authorities to prevent
-the landing of any of the passengers, and the records are full of such
-instances, between 1700 and 1800, and the town constables were at
-their wits’ ends to keep the unwelcome visitors out, for those who
-landed in other parts of the country came by land to Boston,
-attracted, no doubt, by the rising trade and manufactures of the
-future metropolis of New England. Of this class, undoubtedly, was
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_78'>78</span>Charles Conner, his wife and child, who came from Philadelphia in
-1732, only to be ordered out of town at once—a fate many of his
-nationality had to suffer during this epoch.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Drake, in his <cite>Landmarks of Boston</cite>, says: “About 1718 a number
-of colonists arrived from Londonderry, bringing with them the manufacture
-of linen and the implements used in Ireland. These emigrants
-also introduced the general use of their favorite vegetable, the
-potato.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>They were not met with a warm welcome, however. So many
-were coming from Ireland, in 1718, that Dea. John Marian was
-ordered to appear before the courts and take such steps as he might
-deem proper to keep them away from the town of Boston, and in this
-respect the authorities were impartial. No distinction was made
-between the natives of Cork or Belfast, Londonderry or Limerick,
-the followers of the old faith or the new; all were treated alike; it
-was enough to know that they were Irish. But despite all the obstacles
-thrown in their way, they kept coming, and so fast that finally
-the town council resolved that some steps must be taken to register
-them, so in case any of them became a town charge, their nationality
-might be known.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>To that end all persons receiving or entertaining any of the Irish
-people were ordered to notify the authorities, on penalty of being
-fined twenty shillings for the first forty-eight hours and ten shillings
-for every twenty-four hours afterwards. Repeated warnings
-were given, but were as often disregarded. January, 1719, John
-Maccanis, wife and four children, were ordered to leave (John
-McGuinnis would be nearer the mark). Two shiploads, under command
-of Capt. Robert Holmes and a Captain Dennis, were refused
-permission to land, the same year. In September, 1744, three Irish
-boys and sixteen Irish girls were captured by a French privateer and
-forwarded from Capt. Breton to Boston. Among them were James
-Connor, Thomas Bryan, Charles White, Mary Roberts, Mary Price,
-Sarah Agin, Mary Benson, Margaret Anderson, Sarah Hathay, Elizabeth
-Campbell, Mary Hammell, Eliza Fitzgerald, Sarah McMahon,
-Bridget McNamara, Eliza Dunster, Fanny Brady, Jenny Richardson,
-Kathleen Morris, Mary Derham. No doubt these poor waifs were
-looked after by the Charitable Irish Society, which was then instituted
-about seven years. The feeling against their nationality was
-gradually wearing away, and the settlements of their countrymen in
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_79'>79</span>New Hampshire were already furnishing the best fighting men
-against the French and Indians.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>As early as 1758, the Macs, with many other well-known Irish
-names, were taking a prominent place in the town records. McCarthy,
-McCarroll, McClane, MacCluer, McConnell, McCown, McCullum,
-McDaniel, McDonnell, McDonald, McElroy, McFadden,
-McFarland, McGowan, McIntire, McKeen, McKey, McKnight,
-McKenzie, McLean, McNeal, McPherson, McQuestion, Mooney,
-Montgomery, Moore, Murphy, Ryan, Powers, Welch, etc., were
-entered side by side with their English neighbors, so that there is
-no question that Boston had within its borders when the Revolution
-broke out, a large share of that stock,—the Irish—which made
-its influence felt during the struggle, and which furnished in the
-massacre one of the first victims, in the person of Patrick Carr.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Besides Boston, there were few towns in New England where an
-Irishman could not be found between 1700 and 1800. In the contingent
-from Ipswich, Mass., in 1755, at Lake George, were John
-Fitzpatrick, William Connolly and Thomas Looney, and in the
-records of deaths in the town’s history is that of James Fitzgerald,
-who died in 1727. Americans bearing these names, some of them
-changed slightly, are found all over the country—Fitzes and Geralds,
-Patricks, and Connollys, the latter changed to Colony and Collony.
-The modern Fitzes discard any but a Norman origin, however,
-and the Patricks are, of course, “Scotch-Irish.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Jeremiah Smith, born in Ireland in 1705, came to Massachusetts
-in 1726, locating at Milton. He was accompanied by his wife. He
-was the first to raise potatoes in the town, and the first to manufacture
-paper in the colony, and perhaps in the country. A neighbor of
-his, a Mr. Babcock, having raised two bushels of potatoes from seed
-given him by Mr. Smith, came to the latter and told him he did not
-know what on earth to do with so many. Mr. Smith told him not to
-fret, he would buy them of him. Babcock said he did not know what
-to do with his Irish help; they did not understand raising American
-vegetables; he sent one of them out to get some green corn for dinner
-the other day, and he came back without any, saying that “he
-had dug up five or six hills, and the divil a kernel of corn could he
-find.” Smith told him that the Irish knew as much about raising
-corn as the Americans did about raising potatoes, and knew less how
-to use them. Smith was a member of the Presbyterian Church in
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_80'>80</span>Boston. He bears honorable mention in the town history, and was
-respected by all his fellow-townsmen. He died in 1790.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John Sullivan was also interested in the manufacture of paper, in
-that section, between 1780 and 1790, and associated with him in the
-business were Patrick Connor and Michael McCarney. Others of
-Irish birth in the town at the same time, who were prominent in
-its affairs, were Peter O’Kelly, Hugh McLean, Peter McElroy and
-James McClary. That was quite a group of Irishmen in a suburb
-of Boston, and there was no question but that they were men of enterprise
-and push. O’Kelly, with his wife and six children, went to
-South Carolina in 1796. McCarney was one of a corporation, organized
-in 1798, the Mill Creek and Neponset River Company, for the
-manufacture of paper. Their mills were situated near where the
-chocolate manufactory of Walter Baker was afterwards located.
-McCleary’s name appears on the rolls of the Charitable Irish Society
-in 1789. This is one of the names noted in New Hampshire’s military
-and civil history. Maj. Andrew McClary, of Stark’s regiment,
-was killed at Bunker Hill. He was one of the finest looking, as he
-was one of the bravest, men in the army, and his death was then
-looked upon as a great loss to the cause of Independence.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among those who went with a colony from the Massachusetts Bay
-to Delaware, in 1644, were John Nolin and his wife. The Swedes,
-who were already located there, looked upon the newcomers as interlopers,
-and made it very unpleasant for them. The result was the
-appointment of a commission to investigate the alleged outrage on
-the Massachusetts men. John Nolin was one of the principal witnesses,
-the Swedish governor having placed him in irons. Nolan
-was undoubtedly the correct way of spelling the name, and it would
-not be at all surprising if, like Darby Field of New Hampshire, he
-was one of the “Irish soldiers for discovery.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>John Patrick of Barre, Mass., was a lieutenant in the company
-recruited in that town, at the outbreak of the Revolution. His
-father was an emigrant from Ireland, and the original name was
-Kilpatrick. His descendants are scattered through New England,
-and like all sprung from Gaelic stock, have been prolific. He died
-in 1807, aged sixty-eight. Gen. M. R. Patrick, provost marshal of
-the Army of the Potomac, and at his death superintendent of the
-Soldiers’ Home at Dayton, Ohio, was one of his descendants. In
-harmony with the usage of the day, the descendants of the lieutenant
-derive a “Scotch-Irish” ancestry for the founder of the family.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_81'>81</span>Among the births recorded in Boston in the returns of births and
-baptisms, from 1630 to 1699, are Francis, son of Thaddeus and
-Eliza MacCarty, February 19, 1666; Thaddeus, son of the same parents,
-in September, 1670; Margaret, born February 25, 1676; Catherine,
-born January 23, 1679, of the same parents; Elizabeth, daughter
-of Florence and Elizabeth MacCarty, born December 25, 1687;
-Thomas, son of the same, born February 5, 1688 (evidently a mistake
-in dates); William, son of the same, born February 3, 1690.
-Mrs. Eliza MacCarty died July 6, 1696. Florence waited a little
-over a year before taking another partner, but not thinking it best to
-live alone, he married Sarah Newwork on August 24, 1697. She
-presented him with another Sarah in 1698.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The William MacCarty mentioned, became a noted shipmaster, and
-had the reputation of being a fine navigator. He was an enterprising
-man, fully up to the standard reached by his father and
-grandfather. The son, Rev. Thaddeus MacCarty, born in 1721, was
-a graduate of Harvard College and a minister in the Congregational
-Church. He was called to the pastorate of the first parish in
-Worcester, in 1746, where he remained thirty-seven years. He married
-a Welsh girl, and by her had fifteen children. He is described
-as being tall and slender, with dark eyes, sonorous voice and very
-pleasing address. He was a prolific writer, and like James Sullivan
-of another Munster family, one of the most scholarly men of his
-day; he died in 1784. His son, Thaddeus, born in 1747, was a
-noted medical practitioner. He first located in Dudley, then
-changed to Fitchburg, Mass., where he established a hospital for the
-treatment of smallpox by the Suttonian method. Here at one time
-he had 800 patients. He afterwards removed to Keene, N. H.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Another son, William MacCarty, was quartermaster of Colonel
-Bigelow’s Fifteenth Massachusetts Regiment in the Revolutionary
-War. Thus, in Massachusetts, three of the best known South of Ireland
-families, O’Brien (in Maine), MacCarty and Sullivan, were
-represented before and during the Revolution; and it is pleasant to
-record that all were true to the cause of Independence.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The Mackues had a representative in Timothy, son of Timothy
-and Ann Mackue, born October 20, 1699, probably one of the
-McCues or McHughes, all the same. Sarah, daughter of William
-and Olive McLoughlin, was born on October 29, 1689; and Eliza
-followed on September 10, 1691, who was joined by Mary, born on
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_82'>82</span>March 22, 1694. These undoubtedly are the ancestors of many
-McGloughlins, McLathlans, or Lafflins, as the fancy seized their
-descendants to alter the spelling, just as the name McCarthy became
-in time Maccarty, Maccartie, MacCarter, Carter or Carte, varied occasionally
-by Carty. On February 14, 1658, not a great many
-years after the founding of the colony, “James Webster a Scotishman
-&amp; Mary Hay an Irish maid were married.” Mary was, no
-doubt, one of the poor girls torn from her home in Ireland, but hard
-as her lot was, she was fortunate in not being sent to the West
-Indies; but would it not be of interest to find, at the present time,
-the descendants of the Scotch laddie and the Irish lassie, the Websters
-of 1658?</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Another couple, married April 5, 1692, bear names that denote
-Irish blood—Andrew Rankins and Grace Butler. The ceremony
-was performed by Gov. Simon Bradstreet. Daniel, son of Dermin—probably
-Dermot—Mahoone, was born Oct. 4, 1646. The
-next child born to the couple, on August 29, 1648, bore the well-known
-Irish name of Honour, and the name itself must have been
-Mahon, or Mahoney. Mrs. Mahone died November 8, 1656, and
-her husband, like his countryman, McCarty, did not remain single
-long, as another child, Margaret, was presented him on June 3,
-1661, but it was after his death, which took place on April 2, 1661.
-His widow, Margaret, did not long grieve for him, for in the following
-July, 1661, the record reads, “Bryan Morfrey (Murphy) an
-Irishman &amp; Margaret Mayhoone widow were married 20th July by
-John Endecott Governor.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The Murphys were on hand “airly,” and no doubt made their
-mark, but where are their descendants? Hannah, daughter of John
-and Ann Cogan, was born September 6, 1636. This may be one of
-the characteristic names of England, but is more common in Ireland,
-being carried there by Milo De Cogan, one of Strongbow’s Norman
-knights. John was born to Garrett and Mary Bourne, May 30,
-1643. Both given and proper names have an Irish appearance.
-The first Kelly having the honor of being entered on the records of
-births was Daniel, son of David and Elizabeth Kelly, born December
-18, 1647; like the Murphys, they were on hand early; and also
-like the Murphys, are of the undiluted old stock, Gaelic to the core.
-Today, on account of the prominence of the name, it is as American
-as it is Irish, and what is still better, the spelling remains the same
-in both countries.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_83'>83</span>The first Butler, who heads the roll of a long line of descendants,
-and a representative of one of the most illustrious names on two continents,
-makes his bow in August, 1653, in the person of Benjamin,
-son of Stephen and Jane Butler. November, 1656, “Edmond Coussins
-of Pulling Point and Margaret Bird an Irish maid servant to
-John Grover of Rumney Marsh were married.” An Irish linnet
-to a French Huguenot, probably. Mary and John Bohanno,
-another Scotch laddie, and an Irish lass, were blessed with a little
-Mary on May 9, 1658. From these records it can be safely inferred
-that the exiles from Scotland and Ireland, the victims of Cromwell’s
-tyranny, were, in their persons, uniting the two branches of the old
-Gaelic race, as frequent mention is made of marriages between
-them.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Bohanno was undoubtedly Bohan or Buchanan, both from the
-same root. John Morrell, an Irishman, and Lysbell Morrell, an
-Irishwoman, were married, August 31, 1659. March 15, 1661,
-John Reylean, an Irishman, and Margaret Brene, an Irishwoman,
-were married by John Endicott, Governor. John, son of John
-and Sarah Starkey, was born on September 23, 1666, abbreviated
-later on to Stark. Barry appears on the roll, January 8, 1688.
-James, son of James, being born on that date. Kenney does not
-appear until 1691, when, on February 13, Moses and Margaret
-Kenny were blessed with the gift of a daughter. Like Butler and
-Kelly, this is not one of the most common names in America, as it is
-in Ireland—McKenna, Kenna, Kenny. Mulligan turns up in 1681,
-in the person of Robert, son of Hugh and Eleanor Mulligan, born
-on August 9. The Millikens and Mullikens can trace the stream
-and find the source, perhaps, here. Morrissey (spelled Morris and
-Morrisse) appears in 1655.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Edward Morris and Dermon (Dermot) and Honora Morrisse are
-mentioned quite often—some of the transports, undoubtedly.
-Another of the exiles, or the child of one, was Johanna Heffernan
-who married Christopher Vale in 1692. Mary Lynch married James
-Townsend in 1693, and Henry Townsen wedded Mary Keefe the
-same year—two more “Scotch-Irish” unions if names are an index to
-nationality—and still another at the same time was that of Mary
-Peard to Samuel Swetman.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The good old name of Hayes, in the persons of Thomas and his
-wife, Bridget, shows up July 25, 1690, when unto them a child
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_84'>84</span>was born, named Eliza. This is like some other names mentioned,
-found now all over the country; in this case, Bridget must be the
-Eve of the modern Garden of Eden—the Hub—at least so far as the
-Hayes’ are concerned, for she was the first of the tribe in the Trimountain
-Paradise. Reilly has two representatives in John and
-Bridget Rylee, who had born to them on September 10, 1693, a
-daughter, Hannah. After 1700, Irish names peculiar to the South,
-as well as the North of Ireland, rapidly appear. In the records of
-the selectmen of the town of Boston, September 27, 1736, John
-Savell was required to give a bond for a servant imported from Ireland
-by Captain Arnold. James Wimble had to do the same for
-George Lucas’ wife and child from Ireland.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Captain John Carrell—Carroll—ditto, for twelve persons he
-brought from Ireland in his vessel. Dinish and Honor Cniae—Kenna—and
-their two boys, were of this number. September 29,
-Joshua Winslow, Esq., gave a bond for William Steward, wife and
-two children, imported by Captain Boyd. Steward was a cooper,
-and in the following November was admitted an inhabitant of the
-town.</p>

-
-<p class='c007'>A certain green isle in a northerly sea is the historic home of the
-Irish people, but the present address of at least two thirds of the
-scattered race is “United States of America.” Boston, not Belfast
-nor Dublin, is now the greatest Irish city in the world; and the
-overwhelming majority of Irishmen who have risen to places of distinction
-have done so under the Stars and Stripes.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The historian who shall do full justice to the Irish branch of the
-human family has not yet appeared, either in the United States or
-elsewhere. Consequently, there are few races, if any, which have
-been so persistently misunderstood and undervalued. Even in this
-country, where such a mistake is least excusable, there has been a
-tendency in some quarters to regard the Irish as merely an element
-of the rank and file. The truth is that they have contributed their
-share of leaders and pioneers in almost every line of progress.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><em>At least seven of our presidents</em> have had more or less of Irish
-blood in their veins. Jackson, Buchanan and Arthur were the sons
-of Ulster parents; and the first American ancestor of Polk was an
-Irish immigrant. Monroe and McKinley were more remotely
-related to the “fighting race.” The latter, it is well known, was
-fond of saying, “We Irish.” Roosevelt, also, had several Hibernian
-twigs on his family tree. This, in itself, is an amazing record of
-Celtic leadership—to have helped to mold the character of seven
-American presidents out of twenty-five.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the making of America, the Irish have been structural. No
-other word represents their influence so well. In the clearing of forests,
-the digging of canals, the building of railroads, and the extension
-of commerce, our civilization owes an incalculable debt to Irish
-hands and Irish heads.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the traits of our national character, too, we Americans are all
-more Irish than we realize. Our versatility and buoyancy, our
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_86'>86</span>quickness of initiative, our free and unconventional ways, and the
-sporting instinct that leads us to take chances and beat records, are
-a few of the evidences of an Irish strain in our blood.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>If the handiwork of the Irish were painted green, the average
-American city would be splashed on all sides with emerald hues.
-Yet there are few who are aware of this, even among the Irish themselves.
-A New Yorker, for example, may rise in the morning, bathe
-in water that comes from the Croton dam, built by James Coleman,
-ex-president of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick; breakfast on
-Cudahy bacon; then take the subway, built by John B. McDonald,
-past the new College of the City of New York, built by Thomas
-Dwyer, to his office in a skyscraper built by John D. Crimmins,
-where he will cable to Alaska over a line laid by David Lynch, to
-order certain freight sent <i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">via</span></i> James J. Hill’s Great Northern Railroad.
-Then, with a cigar bought from one of George J. Whelan’s
-300 cigar stores, he will read the New York <cite>Sun</cite>, published by William
-M. Laffan and delivered by the American News Company,
-founded by Patrick Farrelly—and remark to an English friend:</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Yes, of course, this is an Anglo-Saxon country.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>When J. I. C. Clarke, the genial playwright, wrote his famous
-poem on “Kelly and Burke and Shea,” it was generally supposed to
-be a poetic fancy. On the contrary, I find it to be a simple matter
-of American history that the Kellys, the Burkes and the Sheas have
-been to the fore in every generation. They were all three in the
-battle of Lexington, as well as in the death-list of the <em>Maine</em>. When
-Hobson sank the <em>Merrimac</em>, a Kelly and a Murphy were his comrades
-in danger. Our first noted woman abolitionist was Abbie Kelley.
-William Darrah Kelley, of Philadelphia, was a Congressman
-for nearly thirty years. Hall Jackson Kelley was the founder of
-Oregon. The late Eugene Kelly, the New York banker, won renown
-as a philanthropist. Among the living members of this
-redoubtable family, James E. Kelly is a well-known electrical engineer.
-The Kelly Ax Company has a fifty-acre plant in Charleston,
-W. Va. Elsewhere&nbsp;*&nbsp;*&nbsp;* you will find the wonderful story
-of William Kelly, whose invention has added hundreds of millions
-to the wealth of the steel industry.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the Burke family, three heroic figures appear in the first chapter
-of our Revolutionary history—Thomas Burke, the first governor
-of North Carolina; Adamus Burke, chancellor of South Carolina;
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_87'>87</span>and John Daly Burk, historian, patriot and duelist. All three were
-fighters with pen and sword, who made an indelible mark on the
-Southern states a century ago. In 1872, when Froude cast some
-aspersions upon the Irish, it was Father Thomas Burke who took up
-the cudgels against him. And at the present time we have Burkes
-enough in the United States to fill a “Burke’s Peerage” of their own.
-There are two bishops who bear the famous name, at Albany and
-St. Joseph; one brigadier-general, at Portland, Oregon; one congressman,
-in South Dakota; a railroad president, at Cleveland; and
-a judge at Seattle.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>As for the Sheas, at least four of them have buffeted their way to
-the front—Gen. John Shea,<a id='r8' /><a href='#f8' class='c017'><sup>[8]</sup></a> who won his laurels in the Revolution;
-Capt. Daniel Shays, who first fought at Bunker Hill and
-then stirred up a little side-show rebellion on his own account;
-George A. Shea, an eminent chief justice of New York; and John
-Gilmary Shea, the historian of the Catholic Church in the United
-States.</p>
-
-<div class='footnote' id='f8'>
-<p class='c007'><a href='#r8'>8</a>. Gen. John Shee.</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the American business world of today, a large proportion of
-the solid men—the men who stand like pillars under the heavy burdens—are
-of Irish blood. Most conspicuous of all stands the financier
-upon whom the mantle of J. Pierpont Morgan seems to have
-fallen—the man who is not only combining but coördinating American
-capital—Thomas Fortune Ryan. He is one of the greatest
-masters of financial statesmanship, who cuts the Gordian knots of
-finance and ties others of his own.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Equally immovable, in a different field, stands James J. Hill, born
-in Canada of Ulster parents. What this one man has done for the
-United States has never yet been fully told. He is the creator of
-the Northwest—the railway builder who has opened up a territory
-equal to a couple of Germanys—the steamship builder who has
-linked America with the markets of the East. He has made wide
-pathways of commerce from Lake Superior across 1,500 miles of
-wilderness and 5,000 miles of ocean to the ports of China, Russia
-and Japan. Ever since he double-earned his first dollar as a Mississippi
-roustabout, fifty years ago, his life has been a continuous obstacle-race;
-and there have been few occasions when James J. Hill
-missed a hurdle.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Two other railway presidents are Samuel Sloan, of New York,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_88'>88</span>who was born when Madison was in the White House; and Richard
-C. Kerens, of St. Louis. Daniel O’Day<a id='r9' /><a href='#f9' class='c017'><sup>[9]</sup></a>—every inch of him Irish—is
-one of the most important members of the imperial group of financiers
-who float the flag of Standard Oil. Forty years since, he was
-a laborer in the oil regions, whose main problem was to find a job;
-today, as he jokingly says to his friends, his main problem is to find
-out how to invest his surplus. Another New Yorker of Titanic
-mold is Alexander E. Orr, who was nineteen years old before he had
-seen any other country than Ireland. As a president of large commercial
-bodies, he has few equals. He is a director who directs.
-For nearly fifty years he has stood under the heaviest responsibilities,
-and was recently chosen, because of his ability and uprightness, to
-preside over the immense interests of the New York Life Insurance
-Company.</p>

-
-<p class='c007'>If we speak of great Irish bankers, where is there a large American
-city without one? In Pittsburg, for instance, where there are a
-score of banks bulging with steel millions, the dean of the financial
-fraternity is Thomas Mellon, who, like Alexander E. Orr, was born
-in Tyrone. In New York there are three, at least, who are too prominent
-to miss—Thomas M. Mulry, the new president of the Emigrant
-Industrial Savings Bank, which was wholly Irish in its origin, and
-which holds a hundred millions in its vaults; Miles M. O’Brien, who
-was for some time the president of the board of education; and Samuel
-G. Bayne, who is notable for having organized national banks in
-seven states. Charles J. Bell is a conspicuous figure in the national
-capital, as John C. Davis is in Wyoming. And in Chicago John R.
-Walsh has been a notable banker and capitalist for twenty years.
-The recent collapse of his financial structure should not obscure the
-facts of his extraordinary career. To begin as a barefooted newsboy,
-and to struggle to a place of power in the sixth greatest city in
-the world, always preferring to fight big enemies rather than little
-ones—that was Walsh’s record.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the cattle kings of the West are Timothy Kinney, of
-Wyoming, and George Russell, of Nevada. Also in Chicago, Milwaukee
-and Omaha are four brothers who know something about the
-cattle and beef trade—four brothers whose parents left Kilkenny in
-the forties because black famine threatened them with starvation;
-who began their business life with no more chance of fortune than
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_89'>89</span>any day laborer in the United States, and who are today numbered
-among the few masters of the food supply of the world—Michael,
-Edward A., John and Patrick Cudahy.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Other weighty business men, scattered here and there, are John
-Flannery, the Savannah cotton king; Thomas F. Walsh, of Washington,
-who is the president of the Irrigation Congress; John D.
-Crimmins, the contractor who has added 400 buildings to New York;
-Patrick F. Murphy, president of the Mark Cross Company and well
-known in New York as an after-dinner speaker; Edward Malley,
-who began with a pack on his back and has now a department store
-in New Haven; Ephraim Dempsie, merchant and public man of
-Spokane; P. B. Magrane, a well-known merchant in the shoe city
-of Lynn; and William P. Rend, the coal magnate of Chicago.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Among the great Irish merchants of former days, the most notable
-was A. T. Stewart, whose New York store was the largest of its
-kind, either in America or elsewhere. His capital was $3,000 when
-he began to sell his Belfast laces, and more than forty millions when
-he died.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the United States, as well as in Great Britain, many of the
-most distinguished judges have been of Irish blood. Among the
-nine justices who sit supreme over all American courts, two are Irish
-by descent—Judge Edward D. White and Judge Joseph McKenna.
-As yet, no one has compiled a list of the Irish judges in the various
-state Supreme Courts; but to take New York as an instance, we find
-five who are of unusual prominence—Martin J. Keogh, Morgan J.
-O’Brien, James Fitzgerald, George C. Barrett and Victor J. Dowling.
-It should also be mentioned that the chief judge in the Philippine
-Islands—John T. McDonough, formerly of Albany—is Irish
-born. William J. Hynes, too, a lawyer of whom Chicago is justly
-proud, began life in County Clare.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>To answer fully the question “What have the Irish done for American
-education?” would need a small book in itself. Was not the
-late Pres. William Rainey Harper, the father of Chicago University,
-of Irish descent? This extraordinary man crowded the
-work of several centuries into less than fifty years, sacrificed his
-preferences as a student that he might carry the heaviest financial
-responsibilities, and died poor after having gathered a dozen millions
-for his university.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Of our Irish born educators, no one outranks William H. Maxwell,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_90'>90</span>who has been for eight years the superintendent of New York’s public
-schools. Under him are 16,000 teachers and more than half a
-million children, the most lively and cosmopolitan army of youngsters
-in the world. Superintendent Maxwell has had to fight for
-every inch of progress in his development of the New York school
-system; but like the dogged Ulsterman that he is, he has driven
-ahead with his far-reaching projects, no matter whether the hue and
-cry was with him or against him.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Nothing is too good,” he says, “for the taxpayer’s child.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Speaking of public schools, it would be a sin of omission at this
-point not to mention the thousands of young women of Irish birth or
-parentage who are doing faithful work as schoolteachers in all parts
-of the United States.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The number of our Irish professors is comparatively small. Some
-who deserve special mention are Maurice F. Egan, of the Catholic
-University in Washington; James McMahon, of Cornell; Robert
-Ellis Thompson, of the Central High School in Philadelphia; and
-Thomas C. Hall, of the Union Theological Seminary in New York.
-A Gaelic chair was established in 1896 at the Catholic University
-by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and is filled at the present time
-by Prof. Joseph P. Dunn, who is of American birth. To John
-Tyndall, the notable Irish scientist, the United States owes a double
-debt, inasmuch as he not only delivered a course of lectures here in
-1872, but devoted the proceeds to the cause of scientific research in
-America.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>It is very seldom that an Irishman lacks the gift of speech. Take
-away our Irish orators and journalists, and this would be a dumb
-and cheerless country indeed. Here, for instance, is an offhand list
-of Irish writers of the past and present:</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Capt. Mayne Reid, the idol of American boys, and a soldier in
-our War with Mexico; John Boyle O’Reilly, the editor and poet;
-FitzJames O’Brien, who wrote the famous short story, “The Diamond
-Lens”; Ignatius Donnelly, the most versatile and picturesque
-public man of his generation in Minnesota; Edwin Lawrence Godkin,
-of the New York <cite>Evening Post</cite>, a fighter in the high realm of
-national morality; Henry W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta <cite>Constitution</cite>;
-Patrick Walsh, who was editor of the Augusta <cite>Chronicle</cite> and
-represented Georgia in the United States Senate; and Joseph Medill,
-founder of the Chicago <cite>Tribune</cite>.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_91'>91</span>Among those still living are James Jeffrey Roche, now in the
-consular service; Joseph Fitzgerald, author and translator; William
-M. Laffan, proprietor of the New York <cite>Sun</cite>; George T. Oliver, of
-the Pittsburg <cite>Gazette</cite>; Eugene M. O’Neill, of the Pittsburg <cite>Dispatch</cite>;
-John McLeod Keating, who won fame by his fight against
-yellow fever in the South; and John F. Finerty, the eloquent founder
-of the Chicago <cite>Citizen</cite>.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Three great publishers of Irish birth have been Mathew Carey,
-of Philadelphia, the friend of Lafayette; Robert Bonner, founder of
-the New York <cite>Ledger</cite>; and Patrick Donahoe, founder of the Boston
-<cite>Pilot</cite> and <cite>Donahoe’s Magazine</cite>. The name of William Desmond
-O’Brien, too, deserves to be included in this paragraph. Mr.
-O’Brien was a wealthy contractor of New York who devoted eighteen
-years of his life to the preparation of an <cite>Encyclopedia Hibernica</cite>,
-and who died, broken-hearted, in 1893, with his great project unfinished.
-Among Irish-American publishers now living, the most notable
-is P. F. Collier, founder of <cite>Collier’s Weekly</cite>.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>This power of expression, which is typical of the Irish race, rises
-frequently to the heights of art. The Goddess of Liberty, on the
-dome of the Capitol at Washington, was chiseled by the hands of
-Thomas Crawford, who was of Irish parentage, and whose son is
-the well-known novelist, F. Marion Crawford. Many an American
-city has been enriched by the genius of Augustus St. Gaudens, one
-of the best beloved and most eminent of American sculptors. The
-statue upon which St. Gaudens is now working, in his Vermont
-studio, is a heroic figure of Parnell for the City of Dublin, St. Gaudens’
-birthplace. Among the landscape painters, Edward Gay, of
-New York, has held a place for forty years; and another veteran
-artist of Irish birth is William Magrath, who painted “On the Ould
-Sod”—a clever study of Irish character that hangs in the Metropolitan
-Museum in New York.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>It is to Dublin, also, that we are indebted for Victor Herbert,
-our popular conductor and composer, and for Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore,
-the famous band master of Civil War times. There have not
-been so many Irish singers of operatic rank, although the Irishman
-who cannot sing at all is as rare as a white blackbird. Probably the
-most notable was Catherine Hayes, who arrived in this country in
-1851, married an American husband and settled in California.
-Among the best-known dramatic stars of Irish birth now upon the
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_92'>92</span>stage are Ada Rehan and James O’Neil, and the elder John Drew
-was a son of Erin. Andrew Mack and Chauncey Olcott are the
-most popular of those who portray Irish life.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>That the Irish have been in politics goes without saying. In most
-states they have furnished more than their share, both of bosses and
-of reformers. Richard Croker, the Tammany Hall leader, and
-Charles O’Conor, who overthrew the Tweed Ring, fairly represent
-the two contending forces in American political life. So much has
-been written indiscriminately of Irish bossism that it is nothing but
-fair to state that some of the present leaders of the “anti-graft”
-movement are Mayor Dunne, of Chicago; Mayor Fagan, of Jersey
-City; District Attorney Moran, of Boston; and Hugh McCaffrey, a
-member of Mayor Weaver’s cabinet, in Philadelphia. The late Patrick
-A. Collins, congressman, consul-general in London and mayor
-of Boston, was for years the foremost Irishman in New England.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In the present Congress there are dozens of members of Irish
-descent, but only three of Irish birth—Senator Thomas M. Patterson,
-of Denver, who has been for thirty years a national figure; Representative
-Bourke Cockran, who is unequaled in the Celtic flow of his
-eloquence; and Delegate Bernard S. Rodney, of New Mexico. Senator
-Thomas Kearns, one of the solid pillars of the state of Utah,
-was born in Canada of Irish parents; and James D. Phelan, the well-known
-Californian, was the son of a wealthy Irish merchant of San
-Francisco. Three other public men of Irish birth are Thomas Taggart,
-of Indianapolis; William McAdoo, of New York; and ex-Governor
-James E. Boyd, of Nebraska. And no Irishman will ever
-allow the fact to be forgotten that James G. Blaine, one of the
-greatest figures in all American political history, was of Irish descent.
-His great-grandfather, Ephraim Blaine, bore an honorable part in
-the Revolutionary struggle, and far back in colonial days the Blaines
-were among the hardiest pioneers of the Cumberland Valley.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Rising to the religious world, we find many noted Irish names,
-alike in the Protestant and Catholic churches. There are no fewer
-than twenty-three bishops and five archbishops in this country who
-learned their first prayers on Irish soil. This may also be said of
-Cardinal Gibbons, who was born in the United States, but taken to
-Ireland in infancy. The five archbishops are John M. Farley, John
-J. Glennon, John Ireland, John Joseph Keane, and Patrick John
-Ryan. When was there ever before such a distinguished quintet of
-Johns?</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_93'>93</span>Like St. Gaudens and Herbert, Dr. William S. Rainsford hails
-from Dublin. Thirty years ago he entered New York an unknown
-young curate, and proceeded to establish the foremost institutional
-church in America, having at the present time more than 5,000 members.
-Unfortunately, overwork has recently compelled him to resign.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Historically, there have been four Irish churchmen who have
-wielded a great influence in American affairs—Father Mathew, the
-apostle of temperance, who persuaded 600,000 Americans to sign
-the pledge; Archbishop Hughes, of New York, who was sent to
-England by President Lincoln during the Civil War; Father Ryan,
-the poet of the South; and the Rev. John Hall, the pulpit orator of
-New York.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Nothing can be more absurd than to speak of the Irish as newcomers
-in America. No one but a resurrected mound-builder would
-be entitled to do that. For the last thousand years or more, wherever
-there has been any great enterprise on foot, in the thick of things
-there have always been men with the shamrock in their hearts. The
-ship that carried Columbus from the known continent to the unknown
-had a Galway man aboard—so we are told on good authority.
-And one of the maps which cheered Columbus forward showed
-a country across the ocean which was called “Great Ireland.”
-This far western land had been discovered, it was reported, by St.
-Brendan, an Irish monk, eight or nine centuries before.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>There were a few Irish on the <em>Mayflower</em>, but the first large body
-arrived about twenty years later. There were five or six hundred of
-them—a forlorn and pitiful mob, forcibly transported from their
-native land. Those were the black days of Cromwell, when $25
-was paid for the head of a wolf and $50 for the head of a patriot
-Irishman. In ten years probably 100,000 were driven out, and many
-of them came to the American colonies.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The first big Irishman in our colonial history was Gov. Thomas
-Dongan, who gave New York its earliest charter, and who deserves
-to be called one of the pioneer champions of popular rights in
-America. The second was the distinguished philosopher, Bishop
-Berkeley, who came from Derry to Rhode Island in 1728, lured by a
-missionary enterprise that failed. All through the eighteenth century
-came a steady stream of the exiled Irish—men and women who
-had been toughened in a terrible school, and who were fit and ready
-for the perils of the American wilderness. Most of them were from
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_94'>94</span>the north of Ireland—from little Ulster, that giant-breeding province
-whose sons have made history in almost every country of the earth.
-They were the first across the Alleghanies. They settled Tennessee,
-Kentucky, West Virginia and the coal and iron regions of Pennsylvania.
-Such men as Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and Matthew
-Lyon were their leaders. It was they who colonized Ulster County
-in New York and Londonderry in New Hampshire. The colonial
-hero of the Catskills was Timothy Murphy—so wrote Jay Gould in
-his famous <cite>History of Delaware County</cite>, published fifty years ago.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>When the War of Independence began there were Irish on the
-firing-line everywhere. They had a personal as well as a colonial
-grievance against Great Britain; and here was a chance, at last, to
-even up old scores. A writer of those times describes them as “a
-hardy, brave, hot-headed race; excitable in temper; unrestrainable
-in passion; invincible in prejudice. They are impatient of restraint,
-and rebellious against anything that in their eyes bears the resemblance
-of injustice. They were the readiest of the ready on the battlefields
-of the Revolution.” These were not parlor virtues, but they
-were the kind that founded the American republic. “You lost
-America by the Irish,” declared Lord Mountjoy in the British Parliament.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>In those critical days, while thousands were dilly-dallying, the
-Irish were hot for action. It was John Sullivan who struck the first
-blow, four months before the historic skirmish at Lexington, by capturing
-military stores at Portsmouth. The Sullivan family, of which
-he was a member, furnished three governors for the young republic.
-Their mother, in her old age, used to say that she had often worked
-in the fields carrying the governor of Massachusetts, while the governors
-of New Hampshire and Vermont tagged at her skirts. The
-first British warship was captured by an O’Brien; and John Barry
-became the official father of the American navy by receiving the earliest
-commission as captain. The first American general to fall was
-the brilliant Richard Montgomery, whose virtues compelled even
-Lord North to lament his death. It is an interesting fact, and one
-of which few are aware, that the three monuments in front of New
-York’s oldest church—St. Paul’s, on lower Broadway, are in memory
-of three famous Irishmen—General Montgomery, Thomas Addis
-Emmet and Dr. William MacNevin, the first scientific chemist of
-New York.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_95'>95</span>In 1776 three of the signers were of Irish birth—Matthew Thornton,
-James Smith and George Taylor. Five others, at least, were of
-Irish blood—Edward Rutledge, Thomas Lynch, Thomas McKean,
-George Reed and Charles Carroll of Carrollton. The secretary of
-the assemblage, who read aloud the Declaration on the birth-morning
-of our republic, was Charles Thompson, Irish born and the son of an
-evicted farmer. And one of the first societies to back George Washington
-with men and money was the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of
-Philadelphia, who raised half a million dollars and swung into line
-with a cheer. Only one of their members objected, and his name
-was struck from the society’s rolls. Washington was a frequent
-guest at their banquets and an honorary member, as President Roosevelt
-is of the same society in New York.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>No history of the Revolution is complete without its Irish chapter.
-What with the dashing work of the Irish Brigade under Count Dillon;
-with the exploits of Mad Anthony Wayne and General Moylan,
-the Murat of the Revolutionary cavalry; and with the powerful aid
-of Burke and Sheridan in England, King George the Third found
-himself beset by Irishmen from all quarters. There were whole
-companies of Irishmen who fought for American independence under
-their own green flag, as loyal to their adopted country as to the land
-of their birth.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The most typical Irishman of pioneer times was Andrew Jackson,
-our seventh president. One secret of his greatness lay in the fact
-that there were many men of his mold and nationality in every American
-community. It is a fact that should cause every Irish heart to
-beat with pride that the first American president who rose from the
-rank and file, without the prestige of aristocratic birth or the polish
-of education, was the son of a rack-rented exile from Ulster. It may
-even be true that he was the first in the world’s history to climb so
-high, not by force of arms, but by the free choice of a free people.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Old Hickory,” as his soldiers called him, has had no superiors
-as a popular leader. None of his enemies, and he made many of
-them, could question his honesty, his sincerity, his courage. He
-believed that the duty of a government was to protect the weak, curb
-the strong, and obey public opinion. During his presidency the
-United States bounded into industrial greatness and international
-prestige.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Overlapping Jackson came another typical Irishman, equally great
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_96'>96</span>in peace and war—Gen. James Shields. This remarkable man
-climbed to fame by half a dozen various paths. He was the hero of
-two wars, a judge of the Illinois Supreme Court, a governor of Oregon,
-and the only American who has had the honor of representing
-three states in the United States Senate. Like Jackson, he was gentle
-and chivalrous in private life, and an incarnate fury on the field
-of battle. His whole career was one of romantic knight errantry
-and adventure. He was a wit and a maker of epigrams. One of his
-happiest replies was on one occasion when he was asked to name his
-greatest victory.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“My greatest victory,” he answered quickly, “was won on the day
-when my sweetheart, Mary Carr, said ‘Yes.’”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>After the terrible famine caused by the failure of the potato crop
-in 1845 and the following years, the Irish poured into America in
-mighty hosts. Since that time more than four millions have arrived
-here, ready with Celtic buoyancy for the battle of life in a new land,
-and yet almost heart-broken to leave the green fields of their fathers.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Is it hard to die, Barney?” asked a friend of a dying Irishman.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“It is,” replied Barney; “but not so hard as it was to leave Ireland.”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>But they went to work with a laugh and an “Irish hurrah.”
-Whether they knew it or not, they had arrived when they were most
-needed. The era of railroads and steamships had begun. Great
-cities were being built and being rebuilt. The factory system was
-being established in New England. The iron and steel trade had
-secured a solid foothold. And so, while the Irish had nothing to
-offer at first but labor, labor was what the United States was most
-urgently in need of at that stage of its development.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>When the Civil War put American manhood to the test the Irish
-were everywhere—in the thickets of the Wilderness, at the Bloody
-Angle of Gettysburg, on the crimson field of Chancellorsville.
-Standing for state rights—the rights of which John C. Calhoun had
-been the great exponent—were Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne, Senator
-Regan, the Texan, and others. Standing for the Union were Sheridan,
-Meade and Meagher, whose dashing valor is one of our national
-boasts. Unquestionably “Little Phil” Sheridan deserves a high
-place, not only among American generals, but among the foremost
-military commanders of the world. Today, among the retired veterans
-of the United States Army there are three brigadier-generals of
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_97'>97</span>Irish birth—Richard Comba, John J. Coppinger and William Quinton.<a id='r10' /><a href='#f10' class='c017'><sup>[10]</sup></a>
-There is also one rear-admiral—Joseph Trilley.</p>
-
-<div class='footnote' id='f10'>
-<p class='c007'><a href='#r10'>10</a>. To these three should be added: Brig. Gen. Bernard J. D. Irwin, Brig. Gen. Michael
-Cooney, Brig. Gen. James W. Scully, Brig. Gen. Charles P. Eagan, Brig. Gen. William
-E. Dougherty, Brig. Gen. John R. McGinness and Brig. Gen. John J. O’Connell, all natives
-of Ireland.</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c007'>For more than two hundred years the sons of Ireland have been
-among the pathfinders who prepared the way for the American
-nation in its mighty sweep from the Atlantic to the Pacific. No
-region has ever been too remote or perilous to daunt the Irish pioneer.
-Whoever discovers the North Pole will no doubt find a Kelly or an
-O’Brien already on the spot. It was Capt. John J. Healy, for
-instance, who was the commercial discoverer of Alaska; and when
-the United States first took possession of that frozen country, four
-of the sixteen white men in its largest settlement were found to be
-subscribers to the <cite>Irish World</cite>. Gen. Patrick E. Connor was a trail-maker
-in Utah, as Philip Nolan and Sam Houston were in Texas.
-Henry W. Oliver, the late steel king of Pittsburg, who had the most
-dramatic career of ups and downs that western Pennsylvania has ever
-known, was the first Pittsburgher to realize fully the value of the
-Lake Superior iron ore. In consequence, he piled up a forty-million
-fortune. Missouri had Brian Mullanphy, who left a fortune for the
-assistance of poor immigrants. In fact, when the history of any
-western state is written, it will be found that among the army that
-cleared the way there was always an Irish brigade.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The plain, straight truth about the Western Irish is more wonderful
-than any fanciful tale woven in the loom of Arabian imagination.
-Talk about <cite>Monte Cristo</cite> or <cite>Sinbad the Sailor</cite>! They are paltry
-adventurers compared with men like John W. Mackay or Marcus
-Daly. With his three partners, also Irish—James C. Flood, James
-G. Fair and William S. O’Brien—John W. Mackay changed the silver
-markets of the world. Within a comparatively few years these
-four men took a treasure of $150,000,000 from one hole in the side
-of a Nevada mountain—the famous Comstock lode. Always ready
-for big enterprises, Mackay put his millions behind James Gordon
-Bennett’s dream to link America and Europe together by an Atlantic
-cable, and drove the scheme ahead to complete success. What Marcus
-Daly did in Montana was different only in detail. He, too,
-“grasped the skirts of happy chance” with a grip that landed him
-and his friends among the most powerful money kings of his generation.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'><span class='pageno' id='Page_98'>98</span>All five of these Irishmen began at the lowest rung of the ladder.
-They made themselves the leaders in a country of strong and daring
-men, by being the strongest and most daring of all. And today their
-children have linked their fathers’ names by marriage with some of
-the proudest families in the older states—the Oelrichses, Vanderbilts,
-Duers and Girards, as well as to the princely Colonnas of Italy.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Whether it is the versatile genius of the Emmets of New York; or
-the fighting pluck of “Bucky” O’Neil, who was killed with the
-Rough Riders at Santiago; or the sagacity of John Mitchell, who is
-the leader of 150,000 miners—whether it is the sheer brain force and
-inventiveness of a Fulton, a Morse or a McCormick, or the quaint
-and witty wisdom of “Mr. Dooley,” there have always been qualities
-of the Irish head and the Irish heart that brought honor to the little
-home-land of the Celt.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“There is nothing negative about the Irish,” said Patrick Ford—which
-is exactly what anyone who knows the rugged old journalist
-would have expected him to say. They may be on the wrong side of
-the quarrel, but one thing is always certain—they are never on the
-fence. They care little or nothing for obstacles and adverse circumstances.
-They are the best of friends and the best of enemies—the
-quickest with either the open hand or the fist—the most loyal to a
-cause and the most rebellious against a tyranny. They live closest
-to hope and farthest from despair.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“Why,” said Maurice Healy, an Alaskan fur trader, “I’m only 700
-miles from a bank!”</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>You can bend and twist an Irishman, but you can seldom break
-him—the records of insanity and suicide prove this. He “works
-hard in time of peace and fights hard in time of war,” as President
-Roosevelt has said. Impulsive, daring, constructive, indomitable, the
-Irishman has done indispensable work in this land of his choice.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>“May his shadow never grow less!”—so say we all.</p>

-    following: “Now that the question of teaching Irish           history in the schools has
-    again come to the front, we           would repeat the suggestion made by us a couple of
-             years ago to the American-Irish Historical Society, that           in no
-    possible way could it so promote the objects for           which it is organized as by
-    the preparation of a popular           text-book of the history of the race in America,
-    suitable           for the use of schools. The Society has the material           for
-    doing this; it could do it without loss to itself, and           with great profit to the
-    race, which it would thus have           put under a debt of gratitude.”

-    <dd>Death of Gen. M. T. McMahon at his home in New           York City. He was a judge of the
-    New York Court           of General Sessions at the time of his death. He had
-    practised law in New York for many years and was a           fine speaker, but he was
-    known chiefly as a soldier. He           was educated at St. John’s College, Fordham,
-    from           which he graduated in 1855, and then went to Buffalo, <span class='pageno' id='Page_102'>102</span>
-    where he studied law in the office of Eli Cook, then          mayor of the city, in
-    company with Grover Cleveland,          since president of the United States. Although
-    able to          pass the examination, he was too young to be admitted          to the
-    bar, and he became a correspondence clerk in the          general post-office at
-    Washington. In President Buchanan’s          administration he was appointed special
-    post-office          agent to the Pacific coast. He was admitted to          the bar at
-    Sacramento in 1861. At the first call for          troops at the breaking out of the
-    Civil War he raised          the first company of cavalry on the Pacific. He was
-    elected captain of the company, but when it was decided          that the company should
-    not go to the front he resigned          and went to Washington. He was made a captain in
-             the regular army and an aide-de-camp to Gen. George          B. McClellan, whose
-    bosom friend he remained until          “Little Mac’s” death. He served in every
-    engagement          in which the Army of the Potomac took part. When          the Sixth
-    Corps was disbanded he was adjutant-general          and chief of staff. He also served
-    under Generals          Franklin, Sedgwick (who was killed at the Wilderness),
-    Baldy Smith and Wright. He received the congressional          medal of honor for bravery
-    at the battle of White          Oak Swamp. Congress also presented him with a jeweled
-         sword for conspicuous bravery at Spottsylvania and          other battles. At the
-    close of the war he was assigned          as adjutant-general under General Dix, to the
-    Department          of the East. He resigned in 1866 and became corporation
-    attorney of New York City. President Johnson          made him minister to Paraguay. In
-    1879 he ran          for Congress against Robert B. Roosevelt and was defeated.
-    Two years later he was appointed receiver of          taxes by Andrew H. Green, then
-    comptroller. He was          United States marshal for the Southern District of New
-       York under President Cleveland. After that he was          an assemblyman and a state
-    senator. For years he had          been one of the managers of the National Home for
-        Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. In 1896 he was elected          judge of the Court of
-    General Sessions. General McMahon <span class='pageno' id='Page_103'>103</span>          was a Fenian and was ready for
-    service in Ireland.           He was also a member of the Clan-na-Gael in           its
-    earlier days. His brother, John E. McMahon, who           was attorney-general and
-    adjutant-general of New York           state under Governor Seymour, was colonel of the
-    One           Hundred and Sixty-fourth New York Volunteers, which           he raised in
-    Buffalo at the outbreak of the war. The           regiment was later consolidated with
-    the Phœnix Zouaves,           a Fenian regiment, and McMahon became colonel.           It
-    was part of the Corcoran Legion. Col. John E. McMahon           was killed at the siege
-    of Suffolk, Va., in 1863.           The other brother, James P. McMahon, was a captain
-           in the Sixty-ninth with Thomas Francis Meagher, later           became
-    lieutenant-colonel of the One Hundred and           Fifty-fifth New York, and was
-    promoted to be colonel           of the One Hundred and Sixty-fourth New York, in
-      place of his brother, Martin. He remained in command           of the latter regiment
-    until he was killed in a charge at           the battle of Cold Harbor on June 3, 1864.

-    auxiliary,           has passed, and I urge that hereafter all contributions
-    from any source be sent direct to James D. Phelan,           chairman finance committee,

-    <dd>An editorial in the <cite>New Century</cite>, Washington, D. C.,           this date,
-    says: “As an individual contributor to the San           Francisco relief fund, one
-    notices an Irish name leading           all the rest—far and above in amount, the
-    generosity of           the Rockefellers, the Astors and the Vanderbilts. The <span class='pageno' id='Page_105'>105</span>
-             name is that of James D. Phelan, who subscribed $1,000,000.            And this,
-    notwithstanding that he himself            lost $15,000,000 by the fire. These great
-    catastrophes            always evoke large-hearted acts and assure us that
-    neither magnanimity, public spirit nor courage have            yet vanished from the face
-    of the earth. Mr. Phelan’s            conduct proclaims him a man worthy of his wealth.
-    We            learn, further, that he is a Catholic, a graduate of a            Jesuit
-    college and that he was mayor of San Francisco            from 1896 to 1902. As he is
-    only forty-five years of            age, we shall hope to hear more of him hereafter.”

-    <dd>The New York <cite>Irish-American</cite> for this week has the            following
-    relative to our San Francisco member, ex-Mayor            James D. Phelan: “In San
-    Francisco the man            of the hour in whose hands is the management of the
-      great relief fund, and under whose executive direction            the important
-    movements that are to lift the stricken            city up from the depths and rebuild
-    her shattered fortunes            have already been begun, is that well-known
-    Irish-American,            James D. Phelan, former mayor of the city.            Although
-    his personal and business losses must reach            millions, it is reported that he
-    has devoted the sum of            $1,000,000 out of his private fortune to employ the
-           afflicted laboring people of his native city. Mr. Phelan,            whose father
-    was one of the men who made San Francisco <span class='pageno' id='Page_106'>106</span>          rich and famous, was born
-    in 1861, and was educated           at St. Ignatius College, in that city, where he
-        graduated with honor, after a four years’ course of           study. He then entered
-    as a student at the law department           of the University of California, of which he
-    is           also a graduate. He was selected mayor of the city, as           a Democrat,
-    in 1896, and served until 1902. His           régime was marked by zeal and ability in
-    the public           service. The Democrats of the state Legislature complimented
-      him with their nomination for United States           senator a few years ago. He is
-    one of the leading capitalists           of the United States, and has numerous
-    commercial           and mining interests. He is president of the Mutual
-    Savings Bank and the finest business block in San Francisco,           situated on Market
-    Street, bore his name. It           withstood the shock of earthquake, but the resulting
-    fire           reduced it to a mass of smoking ruins. Mr. Phelan has           been for
-    years a generous supporter of the Irish cause           and has stood by both Parnell and
-    Redmond with his           influence and his money. His father aided in receiving
-      Terence Bellew McManus, John Mitchel and Thomas           Francis Meagher when those
-    patriots escaped from the           British penal settlements in Australia and sought
-    liberty           and new careers in America. No city has been more           generous in
-    aid of Ireland than San Francisco and its           people, of all races, are renowned
-    for their hospitality           and liberality, and foremost among those who offered
-         that hospitality has always been James D. Phelan. In           the new city that is
-    to rise triumphant from the ashes           of the present disaster his grateful
-    fellow-citizens will           no doubt give him every honor in their bestowal.”

-    marking the burial place of           those who fell in the Boston massacre of March 5,
-    1770,           and of a boy who was killed on the previous February <span class='pageno' id='Page_107'>107</span>
-    22. The modest slab of slate is in keeping with the           other memorials in this
-    historic burying ground. It was           erected by Boston Chapter, S. A. R., and is the
-    first permanent           marker that has been placed over these graves.           Dr.
-    Samuel Crowell, president of the Boston Chapter,           unveiled the slab with a brief
-    introductory speech, presenting           Dr. Moses Greeley Parker of Lowell, president
-            of the Massachusetts Society, who congratulated Boston           Chapter on the
-    work it has done and is doing. Edward           W. McGlenen, city registrar, of the
-    committee, gave a           brief historical sketch of the events leading up to the
-        massacre, including the shooting of the boy, Christopher           Snider, by the
-    British soldiers, who fired into his father’s           house. Little attention has been
-    paid in history to the           killing of this boy, called on the slab “the innocent
-    first           victim of the struggles between the colonists and the           crown.”
-    The slab stands close to the grave of Samuel           Adams and is in plain view from
-    the street. The inscription           reads:

-much and deservedly regretted:</p>
-
-<p class='c018'><span class='sc'>Coffey, John J.</span>, born in County Kerry, Ireland, 1831; died at Neponset (Boston),
-Mass., June 13, 1906. He enlisted for service in the Civil War on
-December 13, 1861, in Company C, Twenty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment
-(the famous Faugh-a-Ballaghs), which formed part of Meagher’s
-Irish Brigade, and he later fought with the Fourth Heavy Artillery of
-Massachusetts. Among the famous battles in which he took part were
-Marye’s Heights, Gettysburg and Fredericksburg. He was stricken with
-rheumatic fever, which necessitated his taking furloughs. With the exception
-of these two absences he served from the first year of the war until
-its conclusion, and was in the army which assembled in Washington for
-review preparatory to its disbandment at the close of hostilities. He
-returned to Boston after the war, and was active in military organizations.
-He joined the Montgomery Light Guard Veteran Association and various
-other Irish societies. He was a most patriotic man and an active worker
-in the interests of his native land. He was identified with the Irish
-National League, Irish National Federation and the United Irish League.
-He also belonged to Division 43, A. O. H., the Knights of St. Brendan
-and John A. Andrew Post, No. 5, G. A. R. He is survived by his wife
-and six children: James D. and Timothy J. Coffey of Boston; Charles M.
-Coffey, who has been in the West and Alaska for some years, part of the
-time serving in the United States Cavalry; Mrs. George G. White of
-Dorchester, Mass.; Mrs. William H. Murphy of Neponset; and Miss
-Anna S. Coffey, a teacher in the Henry L. Pierce School, Dorchester, who
-lived with her parents. When a collection of articles for an Irish-American
-loan exhibition for the World’s fair at St. Louis, Mo., was being gotten
-up in 1904, John J. Coffey, the subject of this obituary, contributed
-an Irish flag that had been carried during the Civil War by the Twenty-eighth
-Massachusetts. Accompanying the flag, he sent a letter, the following
-being an extract therefrom: “This flag has a precious history. It
-was presented to the Twenty-eighth Regiment, through the late Patrick
-Donahoe, by the Irish women of Boston, on Sept. 24, 1861, at the same
-time Governor Andrew presented the regiment with the flag of the State
-of Massachusetts. My company (C) was selected as the right center or
-color company, and my brother, Michael J., whose height exceeded mine
-by two inches, was selected as color sergeant of this green flag, and carried
-it until he fell mortally wounded at the second battle of Bull Run,
-August 30, 1862; after that it went through Chantilly, South Mountain
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_113'>113</span>and Antietam. On the memorable day of the attack on Marye’s Heights,
-at Fredericksburg, it was the only green flag unfurled—and by this I do
-not intend to cast any reflections on the other four regiments of the Irish
-Brigade. Some time before Chancellorsville, in May following, Colonel
-Byrnes and the other officers of the regiment concluded that it was too
-cumbersome, subscribed among themselves and procured a flag of lighter
-fabric (worsted), and laid the old flag (this one) aside, but in safe keeping,
-and you may rest assured that it has been scrupulously cared for and
-treasured by the custodian.”</p>

-<p class='c018'><span class='sc'>Coleman, James S.</span>, builder of the new Croton Dam, New York, and street
-cleaning commissioner from 1881 to 1891, died at his home, 38 East 69th
-Street, New York City, December 17. Deceased was one of the best-known
-contractors in this country. At the time of his appointment as
-commissioner of street cleaning by Mayor Grace of New York he was
-engaged in the construction of the Texas and Pacific Railroad, which work
-was turned over to other contractors, while deceased gave his whole time
-to the study of his work for the city. He was the first commissioner to
-realize the many commercial uses to which city waste might be put, and
-he so arranged the disposal of garbage as to clear for the city $90,000
-yearly. Mayor Grace appointed him to a six-year term, which continued
-through the term of Mayor Edson, and subsequently he was re-appointed
-for another six-year term by Mayor Hewitt. In 1892 he received the contract
-for the building of the new Croton Dam, and shortly before his
-death the entire work was completed. Deceased was born about sixty-three
-years ago. He came of a family of contractors, his father having
-engaged in that business until his death. He spent his boyhood in Madison,
-N. J. Deceased was prominent in charitable work of an unobtrusive
-sort and was a member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American
-Geographical Society and the Manhattan, Catholic and Hardware clubs,
-Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and was a member of the board of managers
-of the Catholic Orphan Asylum. Funeral services were held at St. Patrick’s

-1906. He came to this country when a young man, eventually settling in
-Lynn, Mass., where he was long engaged in the granite business. During
-the Civil War he rose from the ranks to command Companies C and G
-of the Third Massachusetts Cavalry, under Banks and Sheridan. He was
-one of the volunteers at the storming of Port Hudson, and for his bravery
-there was given a medal by Congress. During the siege of Baton Rouge
-he was made provost marshal at that place. He was wounded several
-times. In 1883 he was elected representative to the Massachusetts General
-Court from Lynn, and was the author of the free text-book bill. He
-also presented the bill abolishing contract labor in prisons. At the time

-<p class='c018'><span class='pageno' id='Page_114'>114</span><span class='sc'>Davis, Hon. Robert T.</span> (M. D.), born in County Down, Ireland, 1823; died
-in Fall River, Mass., October 29, 1906. He was the son of John and
-Sarah (Thompson) Davis. His father was a Presbyterian and his mother
-a member of the Society of Friends. They came to America in 1826 and
-settled in Amesbury, Mass. Doctor Davis was educated in the Friends’
-School at Providence, R. I., and at Amesbury Academy, and began the
-study of medicine with Dr. Thomas Wilbur, well remembered as a leading
-physician in Fall River. He passed two years at Tremont Medical School
-in Boston and was graduated from the medical department of Harvard
-in 1847. In 1850 he went to Fall River and began the practice of his
-profession, winning a high rank as a skillful physician. When a young
-man he was active in the anti-slavery movement and in 1851 made a
-speech in favor of instructing the local representatives to vote for Charles
-Sumner for United States senator. He was a member of the state constitutional
-convention in 1853, and in 1858 and 1861 was a state senator. He
-was a member of the national Republican convention which nominated
-Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and also in 1876 when Rutherford B. Hayes
-was nominated. At the request of Governor Andrew of Massachusetts,
-he introduced the resolution for the appointment of peace commissioners
-to attend a convention in Washington in an endeavor to preserve peace
-between the North and the South. During the early days of the Civil
-War he assisted in the formation of the Seventh Massachusetts Regiment,
-intending to accompany them to the front as surgeon, but gave way to a
-relative of the colonel of the regiment, who was desirous of securing the
-appointment. He was later appointed by Governor Andrew medical examiner
-of recruits for his district, and later examiner of applicants for
-exemption from military duty on account of physical disability. He was
-one of the three local surgeons who, in obedience to a call from Washington,
-after the second battle of Bull Run, went to Alexandria and assisted
-in treating the wounded. In 1863 Governor Andrew appointed him a
-member of the State Board of Charities, and in 1869 he was appointed a
-member of the State Board of Health by Governor Claflin, and when the
-two boards were consolidated he was appointed as a member of the new
-board by Governor Talbot. In 1873 he was elected mayor of Fall River
-without opposition, and at the close of his term he donated his salary to
-the Children’s Home. He was elected to Congress in 1882 and re-elected
-in 1884 and 1886 and was afterwards appointed by Gov. Oliver Ames a
-member of the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission. Doctor Davis in his
-long life had been prominent and successful in so many different fields
-that his early life as a physician and politician had been in a sense forgotten
-by the present generation. During the Land League and other
-Irish movements, Doctor Davis was always generous in support of Home
-Rule principles, and he had frequently been heard making eloquent and
-appealing pleas for the freedom of his native land. He was identified
-with the business interests of Fall River as a large owner of real estate
-and as one of the largest holders of mill stock in the city. He held large
-blocks of stock in a number of the mills, preferring to invest so as to be
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_115'>115</span>a dominant factor in the corporation in which he was interested. Doctor
-Davis held many offices in the corporations of the city. He was a director
-and also president of the Algonquin Printing Company, the Stafford mills
-and the Wampanoag mills. He was also a director in the Davis mills, the
-Merchants’ mills and the Stevens Manufacturing Company. He had been
-president of the Fall River board of trade, the Union Hospital Corporation
-and the Home Market Club. Doctor Davis married, in 1848, Sarah
-Congdon Wilbur, daughter of Dr. Thomas Wilbur of Fall River, who died
-in 1856, and in 1862 he married Susan A. Haight, daughter of Moses
-Haight of Westchester County, New York, who passed away a few years
-ago. He is survived by one son, Robert C. Davis of the law firm of
-Jackson, Slade &amp; Borden.</p>

-<p class='c018'><span class='sc'>Doogue, William</span>, born in Queen’s County, Ireland, 1828; died in Dorchester
-(Boston), Mass., November 2, 1906; superintendent of public grounds,
-Boston, Mass. When a lad his family emigrated, settling in Middletown,
-Conn. Here Mr. Doogue was educated in the local schools, having in his
-native country received primary instruction at a private school. At the
-age of seventeen he was apprenticed to Affleck, Whitmore &amp; Co., of Hartford,
-Conn., who operated one of the most extensive nursery and greenhouse
-plants in New England at the time. Here he learned the science
-of floriculture, horticulture and landscape gardening. He served five
-years with this firm, and during the last three years of his apprenticeship
-studied botany under the tuition of Professor Comstock of Trinity College,
-a well-known writer on that subject. After the death of Mr. Affleck,
-Mr. Doogue became a partner in the firm, the style of which was changed
-to that of Whitmore &amp; Co. In 1865 Mr. Doogue dissolved his connection
-with the firm and came to Boston. He assumed the entire management
-of the floricultural and horticultural business of Charles Copeland in
-Boston and Melrose, Mass. Later he established himself in business as a
-florist and was most successful. In 1871 Mr. Doogue’s skill was fittingly
-recognized when he was chosen to lay out the grounds of the Centennial
-Exposition held in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, and make a tropical
-and sub-tropical display. He did splendid work and was highly complimented,
-and as a reward was presented with two gold and two silver
-medals and diplomas. Mr. Doogue transformed the Boston Public Garden
-from a place of a few monotonous floral displays during the summer
-season, to one of a succession of brilliant, attractive and artistic flowering
-and rare plants and exotics, which have been the delight of visitors. He
-propagated many of the most rare and costly plants and bulbs, and accumulated
-stocks of these and other products of the greenhouse and nursery,
-which are today worth in money much more than the whole plant has
-cost the city. It may be said he created the department of public grounds,
-for when he took charge of it it was only a name, a title; now it is a
-substantial and creditable asset of the city, as well as a fitting monument
-to the genius and memory of William Doogue. Mr. Doogue was liberal,
-but unostentatious in his contributions to works of religion and charity.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_116'>116</span>His aid to the Home for Destitute Catholic Children and St. Mary’s
-Infant Asylum, Dorchester, is remembered with gratitude by the Sisters
-having charge of those institutions. He leaves five children, Mrs. Timothy
-McCarthy, Mrs. D. H. Sullivan, Mrs. John O’Connell and Luke J. and
-William J. Doogue. The funeral of Mr. Doogue took place from the
-Church of the Immaculate Conception, Boston, in which for years he had
-been a faithful worshipper. In the congregation were Mayor Fitzgerald,
-ex-Mayor T. N. Hart, city officials and representatives of organizations
-of which Mr. Doogue was a member. Interment was at Middletown,
-Conn.</p>

-his stores in Centre Street and in Mott Street and Barclay Street. On
-his father’s death, Mr. Kenedy succeeded to the business, and so well
-did it develop that he soon took over the entire building at No. 5 Barclay
-Street, which in time became the most extensive Catholic publishing house
-in the country. A few years ago he took two of his sons into the firm
-with him, and they will continue the business, the foundation of which
-their grandfather, John Kenedy, laid eighty years ago. In the fall of
-1895, Pope Leo XIII made Mr. Kenedy a publisher to the Holy See, in

-early love for the sea was gratified later in life when he became captain
-of some of the finest deep-water ships sailing from Baltimore, Boston and
-elsewhere. His first command was the bark <em>May Queen</em>, a regular Baltimore
-and Rio packet, 1872. He then had command of the ship Pilgrim
-of Boston, and made several voyages to the East Indies. In 1884 he was
-given command of the <em>Charger</em>, a larger and finer ship than the <em>Pilgrim</em>,
-and sailed to ports in Japan. He next had command of the <em>South American</em>,
-“the Commodore’s ship,” of the Hastings fleet (Boston), and took
-her to Australia and other parts. He made several record voyages during
-his career, and some of these records still stand, having never been
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_123'>123</span>equalled. On one occasion he was wrecked off the coast of Africa; he
-and his wife upon being rescued were hospitably entertained by the Boers
-of the adjacent country. Returning to East Dennis, Mass., his wife’s
-health became poor and so he removed with her to Coronado, Cal., hoping
-that the change of climate would benefit her, but she died in 1901. She
-had accompanied her husband on several of his voyages, and had with him
-visited many parts of the world. Captain Connolly has written much and

-
-<p class='c018'><b>Doyle, John F.</b>, of John F. Doyle &amp; Sons, 45 William Street, New York
-City. (Life member of the Society.) Mr. Doyle is the senior member
-of the real estate firm of John F. Doyle &amp; Sons. He was born in New
-York City, 1837, a son of James Doyle who participated in the Irish revolution
-of 1798 and who came to the United States early in 1806. This
-James Doyle, the immigrant, had a son who was killed in the Florida
-war of 1837, and a grandson who fell in 1861, fighting for the Union.
-John F. Doyle, the subject of this sketch and member of the Society,
-entered the law office of Alexander Hamilton, grandson of the first secretary
-of the treasury, afterwards the firm of Hamilton, Rives &amp; Rogers,
-and remained with them from 1853 to 1869, in the meantime studying
-law and being admitted to the bar in 1862. Alexander Hamilton, Francis
-R. Rives, a son of William C. Rives, of Virginia, at one time minister to
-France and senator, and Nathaniel Pendleton Rogers, all of the old
-Revolutionary stock, were members of the firm. Mr. Doyle’s management
-of some Wall Street properties for them at this period became so
-conspicuous that he was urged by them to assume the management of
-their estates, which he did. Shortly afterwards followed the acquisition
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_127'>127</span>of the estates of such well-known people as Mrs. Harriet L. Langdon,
-granddaughter-in-law of the first John Jacob Astor, John Pyne March,
-Mrs. Morgan L. Livingston, George L. Schuyler, James M. Pendleton,
-A. Newbold Morris, James H. Jones, John Steward, Jr., Royal Phelps,
-deceased, Royal Phelps Carroll, Robert S. Minturn, estate of Gertrude L.
-Lowndes, deceased, William H. King, of Newport, R. I., and others too
-numerous to mention in detail. A feature of his career as a successful
-manager lies in the fact that the business associations and connections
-formed by him in the beginning are still held intact. Among the notable
-sales made by him are those from William H. Morris to John Jacob
-Astor in 1880, conveying 150 acres of lots in the twenty-third ward on
-and adjacent to Harlem River; the great sale of South Brooklyn lots at
-Gowanus Bay in 1884. Mr. Doyle represents today the same old and well-known
-families and estates represented by him fifty-four years ago. During
-his career Mr. Doyle has met and done business with some of the
-most notable men connected with the families notable in American History,
-such as three of the four sons of the first Alexander Hamilton,
-Admiral Farragut, Capt. Percival Drayton, Rawlins Lowndes, of South
-Carolina, William C. Rives, U. S. senator from Virginia, at one time
-minister to France, George L. Schuyler, grandson of Philip Schuyler and
-owner of the famous yacht <em>America</em>, Philip Schuyler, his son, Henry
-Grinnell of Arctic fame, Robert J. and Mortimer Livingston, Hon. John
-Lee Carroll, Commodore Wm. K. Vanderbilt, and scores of others equally
-well known, besides representing branches now of four lineal descendants
-of signers of the Declaration of Independence. His two sons, Col. John
-F. Doyle, Jr., and Alfred L. Doyle, have been with him in business for
-years past and all three enjoy an enviable reputation for integrity, ability
-and prudence in all their undertakings.</p>

-Ireland; was graduated in medicine from the University of the City of
-New York, 1867; in June, 1861, he was, on examination (not having
-graduated), appointed surgeon in the United States Navy, and served
-through the entire Civil War. The vessels on which he served did duty
-mostly on the rivers of Virginia and North Carolina, where he served
-with the army as well as the navy, thereby having the benefit and experience
-of both branches of the service, especially in the surgical line. In
-August, 1863, the vessel on which he was serving was captured at the mouth
-of the Rappahannock River and all on board made prisoners. They were
-taken overland to Richmond where they were confined in Libby Prison.
-At that time the Confederates were very short of surgeons and medical
-supplies, and he was asked if he would go over to Belle Island and attend
-the Union prisoners. After consulting his fellow-prisoners he consented,
-and for six weeks he attended the sick and wounded Union prisoners
-faithfully, under very great disadvantages, as the appliances were very
-limited. After that he was paroled. While a prisoner of war he was
-treated with the greatest courtesy and consideration by the medical staff
-and officers of the Confederacy. After the close of the war he was settled
-in New York City, but for nearly forty years has been a resident of Rutland,
-Vt. He was town and city physician of Rutland for many years.
-He was appointed surgeon of the Third Vermont Regiment, 1871, by
-Governor Stewart; was the first president of the Rutland County Medical
-and Surgical Society; has been a director and consulting surgeon of the
-Rutland (Vt.) Hospital; consulting surgeon to the Fanny Allen Hospital,
-Winooski, Vt.; a member of the Vermont Sanitary Association, and a
-member of the Vermont Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis; president
-of Rutland Village two years and trustee eight years; county commissioner
-one year; president, United States pension examining board four
-years under President Cleveland, and president of the same board four
-years under President Harrison. He was postmaster of Rutland during
-the second term of President Cleveland. He has since its organization
-been an active member of the G. A. R.; surgeon of Roberts Post, the
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_132'>132</span>largest in Vermont; has served three terms as medical director of the
-Department; served on the staffs of three commanders-in-chief—Veasy,
-Palmer and Weissert; a member of Commander-in-Chief Stewart’s staff.
-Doctor Hanrahan is the author of several medical papers, has performed
-many surgical operations, and has served through several epidemics of
-smallpox and diphtheria. He was a delegate to the Democratic National
-conventions of 1884, 1888, and chairman of the Vermont delegation to
-the National Convention of 1892. Also a delegate to the Democratic
-National Convention in St. Louis, 1904, and to the Ancient Order of
-Hibernians convention in St. Louis, July 19, 1904.</p>

-
-<p class='c018'><b>Kelly, John Forrest</b> (Ph. D.), Pittsfield, Mass.; born near Carrick-on-Suir,
-Ireland. He was educated in Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken,
-N. J., received the degree of B. L. in 1878, and that of Ph. D. in 1881.
-His first occupation was as assistant to Thomas A. Edison, in Menlo
-Park laboratory, his work then principally relating to the chemistry of
-rare earths. Late in 1879 Mr. Kelly became electrical engineer of the
-New York branch of the Western Electric Company. This was the time
-when the telephone was being generally introduced, and when dynamos
-were being first applied to telegraphic purposes. In the construction and
-installment of instruments for telegraphy and telephones and of such
-measuring instruments as were then known, Mr. Kelly received a thorough
-training. In 1882 he became laboratory assistant to Edward Weston, then
-chief electrician of the United States Electric Lighting Company, and,
-with the exception of a year which he spent in connection with the Remingtons,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_134'>134</span>Mr. Kelly continued his association with Mr. Weston until July,
-1886. Some of the most important work, such as the research which ended
-in the discovery of high resistance alloys of very low or even negative
-temperature co-efficients, were substantially carried out by Mr. Kelly under
-general directions from Mr. Weston, whom Mr. Kelly succeeded as chief
-electrician of the United States Electric Lighting Company, which, in
-1889, passed to the Westinghouse interests; but Mr. Kelly retained his
-position as chief electrician until January, 1892, when he resigned to join
-William Stanley in experimental work. The work done by Mr. Kelly, in
-this connection, gave a great impetus to the alternating current business.
-Mr. Kelly’s inventive work is partially represented by eighty patents. The
-art of building transformers and generators of alternating currents was
-revolutionized, and Mr. Kelly and his colleagues were the first to put
-polyphase motors into actual commercial service. That success naturally
-led to long-distance transmission work, and the first long-distance transmission
-plants in California (indeed the first in the world), were undertaken
-on Mr. Kelly’s recommendation and advice. He was the first to
-make an hysteretically stable steel, a matter of vastly more importance
-than the comparatively spectacular transmission work. Mr. Kelly at present
-occupies the position of president of the John F. Kelly Engineering
-Company, president of the Cokel Company and president of the Telelectric
-Company, as well as president of the Conchas River Power Company and
-director of the Southwestern Exploration Company. The Cokel Company
-is organized to exploit the invention of Mr. E. W. Cooke, by means of
-which foodstuffs may be perfectly dehydrated, losing on the average ninety
-per cent. in weight. Foods dehydrated by this process, although free from
-all chemical preservatives, are entirely stable, and yet preserve their pristine
-freshness through extremes of temperature, and when served are
-indistinguishable from fresh foods of the ordinary type. The Telelectric
-Company is organized for the manufacture of electric piano players, which
-are either entirely automatic or entirely controllable at will. Mr. Kelly
-was married to Miss Helen Fischer, in New York City, in 1892, and they
-have two children—Eoghan and Domnall. Mr. Kelly is a thorough and
-unswerving Irish Nationalist, and his splendid generosity to the cause is
-well known.</p>

-the U. S. S. <em>Wyandank</em> in the Potomac flotilla. He served on the Potomac
-and Rappahannock rivers until February, 1863, when he was detached
-from the <em>Wyandank</em> and ordered to the <em>Florida</em> as navigator. He served
-on the <em>Florida</em> in the blockade off Wilmington, N. C., until October, 1864,

-Expedition, which was one of the causes of the evacuation of Charleston
-by the Confederates. Soon after the evacuation, the <em>State of Georgia</em> was
-ordered to Aspinwall (Colon) to protect American interests on the Isthmus

-after undergoing quarantine, the officers were detached and ordered to
-their homes the latter part of September, 1867. In October of the same
-year, McGowan was ordered to duty on board the receiving ship at the
-Philadelphia navy yard. He commanded the U. S. S. <em>Constellation</em> there,
-and was afterward executive officer of the frigate <em>Potomac</em>, also a receiving
-ship, at Philadelphia. In March, 1868, while on the <em>Potomac</em>, he received
-a commission as master in the regular navy, and in October, 1868, was
-ordered to duty with the Asiatic fleet. On reporting to the admiral, he
-was ordered to duty as executive officer of the U. S. S. <em>Unadilla</em>; succeeded
-to the command of the <em>Unadilla</em> in June, 1869, and in November of
-that year was detached from the <em>Unadilla</em> and ordered to the U. S. S.
-<em>Iroquois</em>; returned in her to the United States, the ship going out of commission
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_139'>139</span>in April, 1870. In April, 1870, he was promoted to be lieutenant-commander
-and while in that grade served on the double-turreted monitor
-<em>Terror</em>, the <em>Wachusetts</em>, <em>Juniata</em> and <em>Marion</em> as executive officer, and at
-the League Island, Philadelphia and Brooklyn navy yards. In January,
-1887, he was promoted to commander; commanded the <em>Swatara</em>, <em>St. Mary’s</em>,
-<em>Portsmouth</em> and <em>Alliance</em>, and was also commandant of the naval training
-station at Newport, R. I., from December, 1896, to July, 1899. He was
-promoted captain, February, 1899, and in August took command of the
-U. S. S. <em>Monadnock</em> at Manila. In November, 1900, he was ordered to
-duty as commandant of the naval station at Key West, Fla. In April,
-1901, he was detached and ordered before the retiring board. He was
-retired, with the rank of rear admiral, in April, 1901. He resides in

-of Gainesville; alternate commissioner to World’s Fair, Chicago, Ill., 1893;
-vice-president for Georgia, American Bankers’ Association. Colonel Sanders
-is of Irish and English ancestry. On the maternal side he is descended
-from Thomas and Theodosia M. Smyth, who emigrated from Ireland in
-1793, landing in Charleston, S. C. They settled in Jones County, Ga.
-Thomas died November 28, 1799. On the paternal side Colonel Sanders
-is a descendant of Rev. Moses Sanders, who emigrated from England,
-with two brothers, John and David, and arrived in Petersburg, Va., 1765.
-They embraced the patriotic cause in the Revolution and were active in
-operations against the British. Colonel Sanders, the subject of this sketch,
-graduated from the Georgia Military Institute, in June, 1861; entered the
-Confederate service; was made lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty-fourth
-Regiment of Infantry, Georgia Volunteers, August, 1861; served under
-General Lee in the Peninsular campaign, in the seven days’ battles around
-Richmond, Va., and was among the bravest of the brave; commanded his
-regiment at Malvern Hill and at Marye’s Heights, Fredericksburg, where
-the Twenty-fourth was a part of the Confederate forces that received the
-valorous charges of Meagher’s Irish Brigade. He also commanded the
-regiment at the battles of Chancellorsville and Antietam, at which latter
-conflict he was placed in command of Wofford’s Brigade. While in this
-position he met a bayonet charge from the Federals by a counter bayonet
-charge, and in the desperate fighting that ensued, fifty-eight per cent. of
-Sanders’ heroic force was swept away. Colonel Sanders also led the
-Twenty-fourth at Cedar Creek, Chickamauga, Knoxville, the Wilderness,
-Spottsylvania Court House, and Sailor’s Creek. On April 6, 1865, Ewell’s
-Corps, to which Colonel Sanders’ regiment was then attached, was captured,
-and Colonel Sanders was sent as a prisoner of war to Washington,
-D. C. Writing of Meagher’s Irish Brigade, Colonel Sanders says: “I was
-in command of the Twenty-fourth Georgia Regiment, with other troops,
-at the foot of Marye’s Heights, receiving the five heroic and gallant charges
-of the Irish Brigade, whose prodigies of valor have filled the country with
-admiration. I saw the devoted Irish charge up to our breastworks, to be
-mowed down by a line of Confederate fire that no soldiers could withstand.
-I saw the Irish battalions cut down like grain before the reaper,
-yet the survivors would magnificently close up their ranks only to have huge
-gaps again cut through them. When forced back they rallied and came
-bravely on again, only to be riddled with bullets and torn by artillery.
-Their fifth charge was made with greatly decimated ranks that slowly
-recoiled like the waves of a tempestuous sea. When twilight descended
-upon the scene, a spectacle was presented unequaled in warfare. At least
-three fourths of my command was composed of men of Irish descent and
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_148'>148</span>knew that the gallant dead in our front were our kindred of the land
-beyond the sea. When, one by one, the stars came out that night, many
-tears were shed by Southern Confederate eyes for the heroic Federal Irish
-dead.” During the war Colonel Sanders was offered the rank of brigadier-general
-but declined the same.</p>

-  <h2 id='GENERAL' class='c005'>GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c006'>The Society was organized on January 20, 1897, in Boston, Mass.,
-and now has members in many states, the District of Columbia, one
-territory and three foreign countries.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>Briefly stated, the object of the organization is to make better
-known the Irish chapter in American history.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>There are two classes of members in the organization,—Life and
-Annual. The life membership fee is $50 (paid once). The fee for
-annual members is $5, paid yearly. In the case of new annual members,
-the initiation fee, $5, also pays the membership dues for the
-first year.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The board of government comprises a president-general, a vicepresident-general,
-a secretary-general, a treasurer-general, a librarian
-and archivist, and an executive council. There are also state vice-presidents.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The Society has already issued several bound volumes and a number
-of other publications. These have been distributed to the members
-and to public libraries; also to historical organizations and to
-universities. Each member of the Society is entitled, free of charge,
-to a copy of every publication issued from the time of his admittance.
-These publications are of great interest and value, and are more than
-an equivalent for the membership fee.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The Society draws no lines of creed or politics. Being an American
-organization in spirit and principle, it welcomes to its ranks
-Americans of whatever race descent, and of whatever creed, who take
-an interest in the objects for which the Society is organized. Membership
-application blanks will be furnished on request.</p>
-
-<p class='c007'>The membership includes many people of prominence, and has
-been addressed by many distinguished men. It occupies a position
-in the front rank of American historical organizations.</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
