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. - -BOSTON, MASS., December 31, 1906. - - - - - OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY, 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.

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_. - - WASHINGTON, D. C., February 25, 1906. - - - - - 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. - - RECEPTION TO REAR-ADMIRAL JOHN MCGOWAN, U. S. N., PRESIDENT-GENERAL. - - _Dear Sir_: It gives me great pleasure to notify you that a - reception to Rear-Admiral John McGowan, U. S. N., President-General - of our Society, will take place in New York City on Thursday - evening, April 26, 1906, at 8 o’clock. - - 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 - who possibly can will be present on this occasion. - - Few events under the auspices of the organization will possess as - much interest as this, and all who participate in the forthcoming - reception to our President-General will find it a red-letter event - in the history of the Society. Each member is at liberty to invite a - friend to accompany him to the exercises. - - Kindly inform the Secretary, upon receipt of this notice, whether - you will attend the reception, as it is desirable to know, - approximately, how many will be present. - - Fraternally, - THOMAS HAMILTON MURRAY, - _Secretary-General._ - - 36 NEWBURY STREET, BOSTON, MASS., - April 5, 1906. - -Among those present from New York City, were: Hon.

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.

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. -From that authoritative source we have compiled the following list of -patriots, bearing Irish names, who were confined on the _Jersey_: -

Whelan, Michael - Wilson, Patrick - -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. - - - - - SOME IRISH-FRENCH OFFICERS IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.[2] - - From “Les Combattants Francais de la Guerre Americaine.” - - -Footnote 2: - - Published in Paris, 1903. - - - RÉGIMENT DE DILLON. - - - _État-Major._ - - - _Colonel._ - - Le comte Dillon (Arthur). - - - _Colonel En Second._ - - Le chevalier Dillon (Théobald). - - - _Lieutenant-Colonel._ - - Dillon (Barthélemy). - - - _Major._ - - O’Moran (Jacques). - - - _Quartier-Maitre Tresorier._ - - Moncarelly (Barthélemy). - - - _Capitaines._ - - Moore (Gerard). - Purdon (Simon). - Bancks (Thomas). - Nugent (Anselme). - Swigny (Paul). - Shee (Robert). - Moore (Guillaume). - O’Neill (Bernard). - O’Berin (Michel). - Taaffe (Laurent). - - - _Capitaines En Second._ - - De Mandeville (Jacques). - Macquire (Philippe). - Macdermott (Thomas), ainé. - O’Reilly (Jean). - Kelly (Guillaume). - Macdermott (Thomas). - Novolan (Christophe). - O’Doyer (Denis). - Lynck (Isidore).[3] - Coghlan (Therence). - -Footnote 3: - - Possibly intended for Lynch.

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 -hum. Servts, Messrs. Jona. Barnard & Co.”—(From _The Recorder_ [A. I. H. -S.], Boston, Mass., March, 1902.) - - - - - 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, -1904.) - - - - - 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.

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 -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. - -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: - - +------------------------+ - | To the Memory | - | of | - | SAMUEL GLASS | - | and his wife, | - | MARY GAMBLE, | - | emigrants | - | from Banbridge, | - | County Down, | - | Ireland, | - | A. D. 1736. | - +------------------------+ - -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. - - - - - REVIEW OF THE YEAR. - - LEADING EVENTS IN THE CAREER OF THE SOCIETY, FOR 1906, OR OF SPECIAL - INTEREST TO THE MEMBERS. - - - Jan. 4.

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. About this time is issued from the Blanchard Press, - Worcester, Mass., a volume entitled: “A Study in the - Etymology of the Indian Place Name Missisquoi.” The author - of the work is George McAleer, M. D., of Worcester, a member - of our Society. - - April. The _Munsey Magazine_ (New York) for this month has a paper - on the Irish in America by Herbert N. Casson. - - April 7. Death today of Capt.

Festus Kelly, of Northerwood House, Lyndhurst, Hampshire, - England, expresses his interest in a paper on “The New - Hampshire Kellys,” which appeared in Volume V of the Journal - of the Society, and desires a copy of the same. - - April 20. Patrick J. Meehan, of Jersey City, N. J., editor of the - _Irish-American_ of New York, the oldest Irish newspaper in - the United States with the exception of _The Pilot_, and who - may be styled the Nestor of the Irish-American and Catholic - journalistic fraternity, died on this date. - - April 20. A despatch from Lowell, Mass., today states that the - O’Sullivan Rubber Co., of that city, has wired $500 to the - mayor of San Francisco to aid the earthquake sufferers. The - check was signed by Treasurer Humphrey O’Sullivan, who is a - member of our Society, as is James O’Sullivan, president of - the company. - - April 25. At Phalerum, Greece, today, Martin J. Sheridan of the - Irish-American A. C., New York, won the contest at discus - throwing. Giorgantas, a Greek, was second. - - April 25. President Roosevelt, in a proclamation today, urges the - American people to now send their contributions for the - alleviation of the distress in San Francisco, directly to - ex-Mayor James D. Phelan, chairman of the finance committee - in San Francisco, instead of to the American Red Cross. The - proclamation goes on to say: “The need of employing the - Red Cross, save as an auxiliary, has passed, and I urge - that hereafter all contributions from any source be sent - direct to James D. Phelan, chairman finance committee, San - Francisco. Mr. Devine of the Red Cross will disburse any - contributions sent to him through ex-Mayor Phelan and will - work in accord with him in all ways.” - - April 26. Reception this evening to Rear-Admiral John McGowan, U. S. - N., the new president-general of the Society. The event took - place at the residence of Hon. John D. Crimmins, 40 East - 68th Street, New York. - - 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.” - - April-May. A committee organized by Archbishop Farley, of New York, - for the relief of the San Francisco sufferers, has been - very successful. Among the members of the Society who have - contributed to the fund, together with the amount given by - each, are the following: Archbishop Farley, $1,000; Hon. - John D. Crimmins, $1,000; Hon. W. Bourke Cochran, $1,000; - Eugene Kelly, $1,000; James S. Coleman, $300; Francis J. - Quinlan, M. D., $250; Hon. Morgan J. O’Brien, $250; Edmond - J. Curry, $100; J. Henry Haggerty, $100; all of New York. - Mr. Crimmins is treasurer of the fund. - - May 3. Warren Upham, secretary and librarian of the Minnesota - Historical Society, St. Paul, Minn., writes that the - organization is desirous of possessing a complete set of the - Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society. - - 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.

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.

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. - - =Doyle, Col.

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.

(Life member of the Society.) - - =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. - - =Kelly, Michael F.= (M. D.), Fall River, Mass. - - =Kelly, T.

C.=, Gainesville, Ga.; president of the State - 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. - - =Sasseen, Robert A.=, 50 Pine Street, New York City; insurance - investments.

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 -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.</p> - -<p class='c013'>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</p> - -<div class='lg-container-r c015'> - <div class='linegroup'> - <div class='group'> - <div class='line'>Yours fraternally,</div> - <div class='line in4'><span class='sc'>John McGowan</span>,</div> - <div class='line in6'><em>President-General</em>.</div> - </div> - </div> -</div> - -<div class='lg-container-l c015'> - <div class='linegroup'> - <div class='group'> - <div class='line'><span class='sc'>Washington</span>, D.

From Mr. Crimmins’ recent book, <cite>Irish-American Historical Miscellany</cite>. (New York, -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.

-<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 ... 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 ...; -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 ... -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> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_31'>31</span> - <h3 class='c001'>COMMERCE BETWEEN IRELAND AND RHODE ISLAND.</h3> -</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> - -<h4 class='c011'>FOR BELFAST,</h4> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c003'> - <div>THE SHIP</div> - </div> -</div> - -<p class='c013'>Catherine, Thomas Allen, commander; Takes in her cargo at Newport, and -will be ready to sail by the 12<sup>th</sup> Day of January.—For freight or passage, -apply to said Captain on board or to Mr. Benjamin Greene, in Newport.</p> - -<p class='c013'><span class='sc'>Providence</span>, Nov. 7, 1766.</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 -the following:</p> - -<div> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_34'>34</span> - <h4 class='c011'>FOR LONDONDERRY,</h4> -</div> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c003'> - <div>THE SHIP</div> - <div class='c003'>FAITHFUL STEWART,</div> - <div class='c003'><em>Captain McCausland</em>:</div> - </div> -</div> - -<p class='c012'>Will sail from Newport in ten days.—For Passage apply to Messieurs Clark -and Nightingale, in Providence, or the Captain on board.</p> - -<p class='c013'><span class='sc'>Providence</span>, Jan. 29, 1785.</p> - -<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> - -<h4 class='c011'>FOR DUBLIN</h4> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c003'> - <div>THE GOOD SHIP</div> - <div class='c003'>TRISTRAM,</div> - <div class='c003'><em>Gideon Crawford, Commander</em>.</div> - </div> -</div> - -<p class='c013'>Now lying at Mrs. Hayley’s Wharff, will sail in 10 or 12 days.

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 & 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='pageno' id='Page_37'>37</span> - <h3 class='c001'>IRISH SETTLERS IN PENNSYLVANIA.</h3> -</div> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c003'> - <div><span class='small'>BY MICHAEL J.

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 & 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.

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 & 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 & 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.</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>.

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.

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 -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.

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 & 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 & 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 & 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 -& 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 & 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.</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> - -<p class='c007'>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.</p> - -<div> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_64'>64</span> - <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.

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.

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> - -<h3 class='c001'>IRISH SETTLERS ON THE OPEQUAN.</h3> - -<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.

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 -over ten feet in height. On the south side is inscribed:</p> - -<div class='box'> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> - <div class='nf-center'> - <div>To the Memory</div> - <div>of</div> - <div>SAMUEL GLASS</div> - <div>and his wife,</div> - <div>MARY GAMBLE,</div> - <div>emigrants</div> - <div>from Banbridge,</div> - <div>County Down,</div> - <div>Ireland,</div> - <div><span class='fss'>A. D.</span> 1736.</div> - </div> -</div> - -</div> -<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> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_75'>75</span> - <h3 class='c001'>IRISH PIONEERS IN BOSTON AND VICINITY.</h3> -</div> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c003'> - <div><span class='small'>BY HON.

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 -& 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 & 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> - -<div> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_85'>85</span> - <h3 class='c001'>THE IRISH IN AMERICA.<a id='r7' /><a href='#f7' class='c017'><sup>[7]</sup></a></h3> -</div> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c003'> - <div><span class='small'>BY HERBERT N.

Published originally in <cite>Munsey’s Magazine</cite>, New York, April, 1906.</p> -</div> - -<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 * * * 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> - -<div class='footnote' id='f9'> -<p class='c007'><a href='#r9'>9</a>. Recently deceased.</p> -</div> - -<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> - -<div class='chapter'> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_99'>99</span> - <h2 id='REVIEW' class='c005'>REVIEW OF THE YEAR.</h2> -</div> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c002'> - <div><span class='small'><span class='sc'>Leading Events in the Career of the Society, for 1906, or of Special Interest to the Members.</span></span></div> - </div> -</div> - - <dl class='dl_1 c002'> - <dt>Jan. 4.</dt> - <dd>Death of P.

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. - </dd> - <dt>April.</dt> - <dd>About this time is issued from the Blanchard Press, Worcester, Mass., a volume - entitled: “A Study in the Etymology of the Indian Place Name Missisquoi.” The - author of the work is George McAleer, M.

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> - <dt>April-May.</dt> - <dd>A committee organized by Archbishop Farley, of New York, for the relief of the - San Francisco sufferers, has been very successful.

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.” - </dd> - <dt>May 12.</dt> - <dd>The funeral took place, at Boston today, of Patrick E.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 & 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 & 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. -<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> - -<p class='c018'><span class='sc'>Kenedy, P.

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.

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 <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.

(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 -<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> - -<p class='c018'><b>Doyle, Col.

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.)

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> - -<p class='c018'><b>Kelly, Michael F.</b> (M.

C.</b>, Gainesville, Ga.; president of the State 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 -<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> - -<p class='c018'><b>Sasseen, Robert A.</b>, 50 Pine Street, New York City; insurance investments. -(Life member of the Society.)</p> - -<p class='c018'><b>Scott, Joseph</b>, lawyer, Bradbury Building, Los Angeles, Cal.</p> - -<p class='c018'><b>Shahan, Very Rev.
