-
-
-I take great pleasure in here presenting Volume VII of the JOURNAL of
-the American-Irish Historical Society. It is hoped the book will be
-found equal, in point of general interest, to those preceding it and
-helpful to the organization to whose labors and progress it is devoted.
-The Society continues in a prosperous condition, has no indebtedness,
-and is steadily adding new members to its roll. The historical papers
-contained in this work will be recognized as of more than usual value,
-while the historical notes and other material will, we are confident, be
-likewise fully appreciated.
-
-                                        Sincerely,

-               THE ANNUAL MEETING AND DINNER, A. D. 1907.
-
-
-The annual meeting and dinner of the Society took place in Boston,
-Mass., on Thursday evening, January 24, 1907. The following is a copy of
-the notice issued for the event:
-
-
-                   AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
-
-                 NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING AND DINNER.
-
-  DEAR SIR: The annual meeting and dinner of the American-Irish
-  Historical Society will take place at the Hotel Brunswick, Boylston
-  Street, Boston, Mass., on Thursday evening, January 24, 1907.
-
-  A committee will be on duty at the hotel all day to receive members
-  and guests, especially those coming from other cities and states, and
-  render them such assistance as may be desired. A general reception
-  will take place in the evening from 5 to 6 o’clock, upon the
-  conclusion of which the annual meeting of the Society will be held.
-  The annual dinner will be at 7.30 p. m.
-
-  This will be the tenth anniversary of the Society, and it is eminently
-  appropriate that its celebration should take place in Boston, the city
-  where the organization was founded. These annual gatherings of the
-  Society are always of very great interest, bring together a
-  distinguished company, and are long remembered by those participating.
-  The forthcoming event will be no exception to the rule.
-
-  Tickets to the dinner are now ready at $3.50 each. They can be
-  obtained by addressing Mr. M. J. Jordan, 42 Court Street, Boston,
-  Mass. Make checks payable to the American-Irish Historical Society and
-  forward to Mr. Jordan at the address given.
-
-  Members are at liberty to invite personal guests. The evening
-  reception committee will include the following Boston members of the
-  Society: Capt. D. J. Gorman, Bernard J. Joyce, Michael H. Cox, Patrick
-  M. Keating, J. W. Fogarty, P. A. O’Connell, Charles V. Dasey, T. B.
-  Fitzpatrick, P. H. Powers, John E. Gilman, Hon. Joseph H. O’Neil, W.
-  B. Sullivan, F. L. Dunne, P. B. Magrane and James W. Kenney.
-
-  We hope that all who possibly can will be with us on this occasion, as
-  it is desired to make it a red-letter event in the history of the
-  Society.
-
-                                          Fraternally,
-                                                  JOHN MCGOWAN,
-                                                    _President-General_,
-                                                      Washington, D. C.
-
-  T. H. MURRAY,
-    _Secretary-General_,
-      48 Carlton Road,
-        Seaview, Mass.
-
-    January 1, 1907.
-
-The event was a very successful one and was participated in by a large
-gathering. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Admiral McGowan, the
-president-general of the Society, the business session was presided over
-by Mr. M. F. Dooley of Providence, R. I., treasurer-general of the
-organization.
-
-Mr. T. H. Murray, secretary-general of the Society, was present, but
-owing to illness was assisted in his duties by Mr. P. F. Magrath of
-Binghamton, N. Y.
-
-The reading of the minutes of the preceding annual meeting was omitted.
-
-The annual report of the secretary-general was presented, accepted and
-adopted, as was that of the treasurer-general. Both reports showed the
-Society to be in an excellent condition.
-
-Several new members were admitted to the organization.
-
-The annual election of officers then took place, the result being as
-given on pages 5 and 6 of this volume. The business session was then
-dissolved, and after an interval the company proceeded to the annual
-dinner.
-
-Mr. Thomas B. Fitzpatrick of Boston, the well-known merchant, presided.
-On his right and left were seated the Hon. John Hannan, mayor of
-Ogdensburg, N. Y.; the Hon. Charles E. Gorman, Providence, R. I.; the
-Hon. Joseph H. O’Neil, president of the Federal Trust Co., Boston; Mr.
-M. F. Dooley, of the Union Trust Co., Providence, R. I.; the Hon. Joseph
-F. O’Connell, congressman-elect, Boston; Mr. D. H. Tierney, Waterbury,
-Conn., and the Hon. Daniel O’Connor, Australia. The following letter was
-received from President-General McGowan:
-
-                           1739 N. STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, D. C.
-                                                       January 16, 1907.
-
-  DEAR MR. MURRAY:
-
-  I regret exceedingly that I will not be able to attend the annual
-  meeting and dinner on January 24th. My cold does not improve, and
-  unless there is a change very soon, I will have to start for a milder
-  climate.
-
-  It is a great disappointment to me not to be with you on that day and
-  I beg you will express to all the members of the Society my regret at
-  my enforced absence and the hope that next year I may be more
-  fortunate.
-
-  My attack of “grippe,” which started the middle of last month, has
-  left me with a most provoking cough, and I do not get my strength
-  back. With kind regards, believe me,
-
-                                               Sincerely yours,
-                                                           JOHN MCGOWAN.

-Music was furnished during the banquet by a fine orchestra. Following
-was the dinner:

-                                 MENU.

-                              Small Coffee
-
-In addition to those already mentioned as present at the dinner, after
-the business meeting, there were the Hon. Patrick T. Barry, Chicago,
-Ill.; the Hon. Thomas Z. Lee, Providence, R. I.; Mr. John Morgan, New
-York City; the Rev. Father Lyons, Boston, Mass.; Mr. R. J. Donahue,
-Ogdensburg, N. Y.; Mr. Edmund Reardon, Cambridge, Mass.; Col. James

-John J. Sullivan, Boston, Mass.; Capt. D. J. Gorman, Boston, Mass.; Mr.
-A. B. Sutherland (guest of Dr. M. F. Sullivan), Lawrence, Mass., and
-other gentlemen.
-
-The after-dinner speeches were along the Society’s line of work and were
-of a most interesting nature. In his opening remarks, Mr. Fitzpatrick
-told of the early efforts of the Irish in Boston, and how their labors
-were an inspiration to the men and women of today.
-
-The Hon. Charles E. Gorman of Providence, R. I., followed the
-toastmaster with a story on the bravery and chivalry of the Irish race.
-The early conditions in New England, and Rhode Island in particular,
-were outlined, after which he spoke on the struggles of the Irish to get
-a footing and show their spirit. He paid a stirring tribute to the work
-accomplished by the Celts and the Teutons and how their spirit of
-liberty managed to overcome difficulties.
-
-The Hon. P. T. Barry of Chicago was well received when he arose to speak
-on the part the Irish took in the development of Chicago, the West and
-the great Northwest. His historical data was particularly interesting
-from the time of Chevalier McCarthy’s advent to the present.
-Congressman-elect Joseph F. O’Connell of Boston spoke on “The Part
-Played by the Irish in the Early History of Our Country.”
-
-Mr. A. B. Sutherland of Lawrence, Mass., who is of Scottish blood,
-delivered an interesting speech, in which he told of what Irish
-civilization had done for Scotland and all northern Europe, and
-particularly of the spirit of liberty given to the Scotch by Irish
-example.
-
-Rev. John J. Lyons illustrated how the Irish had done magnificent work
-in the interest of the church, and he made an earnest appeal for
-friendship on all sides and good will to mankind in general.
-
-The Hon. Daniel O’Connor of Australia electrified the gathering with his
-witty remarks, and his narrative of the Irish influence in British
-literature and jurisprudence was unusually interesting.
-
-Mr. D. H. Tierney of Waterbury, Conn., spoke for a few minutes on the
-Irish in Rochambeau’s army, after which the Hon. Joseph H. O’Neil and
-Michael J. Jordan, both of Boston, addressed the gathering briefly.
-
-Before the meeting adjourned the Society paid a tribute to President
-Roosevelt, who is an active member of the organization. The tribute took
-the form of the following preamble and resolution:
-
-
-       PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTION OF THANKS AND APPRECIATION FROM THE
-                    AMERICAN-IRISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
-
-  At the annual meeting of the American-Irish Historical Society, held
-  in Boston, Mass., on the evening of January 24, 1907, the following
-  minute was unanimously adopted:
-
-  WHEREAS, The American-Irish Historical Society has learned of the
-  excellent work of our distinguished fellow-member, the Hon. Theodore
-  Roosevelt, as embodied in his article on “The Ancient Irish Sagas,”
-  recently published, and believing that some appropriate action should
-  be taken to show our appreciation of the study and research exhibited
-  in the able contribution mentioned, it is
-
-  _Resolved_, therefore, that in the opinion of this Society a splendid
-  example is set by President Roosevelt in finding the time and
-  opportunity, in the midst of his many duties and responsibilities, to
-  devote attention to a subject dear to us. We heartily congratulate him
-  upon the results he has so ably exemplified and set forth as the
-  outcome of his researches into early Irish history.[1]
-
-Footnote 1:
-
-  A copy of the foregoing preamble and resolution was forwarded to
-  President Roosevelt and the Society received a cordial reply.
-
-
-                    EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS RECEIVED.
-
-The following are extracts from letters of regret:
-
-From Mr. John J. Rooney, New York City: “My Dear Mr. Murray: I am
-exceedingly sorry I cannot be present at the American-Irish Historical
-Society dinner tomorrow night. I have a heavy case in court and cannot
-get away. Kindly express my regrets to all. Sincerely, John J. Rooney.”
-
-From the Hon. Felix Carbray, M. R. I. A., Quebec, Canada: “I duly
-received the notice for the annual meeting and dinner. I deeply regret
-that distance and heavy business cares will make it unable for me to be
-present. I hope you will have a large gathering and a successful
-celebration.”
-
-From the Hon. Patrick J. McCarthy, mayor of Providence, R. I.: “Dear
-Sir: Your letter in regard to the dinner of the American-Irish
-Historical Society received, and I regret to state that owing to
-previous engagements in Providence it will be impossible for me to
-attend. Wishing you a successful meeting, I remain, respectfully yours,
-Patrick J. McCarthy.”
-
-From the Hon. Patrick J. Ryan, mayor of Elizabeth, N. J.: “Many thanks
-for your circular letter announcing that the American-Irish Historical
-Society is to have a reception and dinner in Boston on Thursday, January
-24, next. I appreciate the notice I assure you, and regret to say that I
-will not be able to attend owing to a press of other matters here. I
-hope and trust the meeting will be a success in every way.”
-
-From the Hon. Franklin M. Danaher, Albany, N. Y.: “Dear Mr. Murray: I
-have your notice of the annual meeting and dinner of the American-Irish
-Historical Society in Boston on Thursday, January 24, 1907. I have
-always been able to attend the annual meetings of the Society because
-they happened in New York coincident with my presence there on official
-business. Whether I can be in Boston on January 24th is somewhat
-problematical, but I will do so if I can. Do you expect
-President-General McGowan?”
-
-From Mr. Edward J. McGuire, New York City: “My Dear Mr. Murray: It seems
-ungracious not to attend the Historical Society’s dinner at Boston on
-Thursday evening, you Yankees have been so generous and loyal in coming
-to New York, but for me it is absolutely impossible to be present. I am
-engaged in a number of most important and engrossing professional
-matters, and I have in addition but recently returned from a week’s
-absence in the South. I am sure you will make my excuses. I hope that
-you are entirely recovered from your illness and that everything
-prospers with you and the Society. With kindest regards, Very truly
-yours, Edward J. McGuire.”
-
-From the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Dennis J. O’Connell, M. A., S. T. D., rector of
-the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C.: “Mr. T. H.
-Murray, Secretary-General, Sea View, Mass. My Dear Sir: I desire to
-thank you very cordially for the notice you sent me regarding the annual

-From the Hon. Edward A. Moseley, Washington, D. C.: “I regret very much

-meeting on the 24th, but I went to Boston over the holidays, and the
-result is that I have as bad a cold as I ever had in my life, and I am
-afraid to leave Washington. Do have the next annual meeting in
-Washington, and I will contribute in every way to make it a success, and

-                 IRISH ABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES.[2]
-
-
-             BY JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE, LL. D., BOSTON, MASS.
-
-Footnote 2:
-
-  This paper appeared originally in the Boston _Pilot_.
-
-The Irish race, both here and in the old world, has suffered so much in
-the way of misrepresentation at the hands of English and pro-English
-writers, its merits have been so minimized and its defects so magnified,
-that it is almost a hopeless task to attempt the refutation of even a
-tithe of the falsehoods.
-
-It is only when a writer offers an easily accessible authority for his
-statements that the general reader can take the time and trouble, if so
-disposed, to investigate the reference and verify the accuracy or
-honesty of the author who professes to have quoted truly.
-
-Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge has written, and the _Century Magazine_ has
-published an article on “The Distribution of Ability in the United
-States,” in which he exalts the English race at the expense of some
-others, and depreciates the Irish race, with or without malice prepense,
-in a manner which is, to say the least, remarkable.
-
-Mr. Lodge deals in some general statements easily susceptible of
-disproof, as when he says that “there was virtually no Irish immigration
-during the colonial period, and indeed none of consequence until the
-present century was well advanced.”
-
-He offers no authority for this absurd statement; so it may be assumed
-that he ignorantly believes it true. Perhaps he also honestly believes
-in the race called “Scotch-Irish,” whom he defines as “descendants of
-the Scotch _and English_ who settled in the North of Ireland.” Let these
-things pass. We are concerned only with the accuracy and honesty of Mr.
-Lodge’s quotations when he refers to a specific authority for facts and
-figures and professes to be governed by that authority.
-
-In order to classify the distribution of “ability,” Mr. Lodge says that
-he “took _Appleton’s Encyclopedia of American Biography_ in six volumes,
-one of the largest and most recent works upon the subject, and
-classified the persons mentioned therein who were citizens of the United
-States according to occupation, birthplace and race extraction.”
-
-Mr. Lodge says that he found the work large and laborious. We can
-confirm that statement; for we also have taken the six volumes of
-_Appleton’s_ and have gone conscientiously through the 14,000 and odd
-names therein recorded, to see if that otherwise valuable publication
-had really given the Irish race such an astonishingly poor record as Mr.
-Lodge’s tables show. We find that it has not. We find that Mr. Lodge and
-his authority differ so astoundingly, on almost every point, that his
-deductions are absolutely worthless because his statements are so
-utterly untrue.
-
-In the matter of quantity, _Appleton’s_ gives to the Irish race a list
-nearly one hundred per cent greater than Mr. Lodge professes to have
-found in its pages. On the score of quality, taking Mr. Lodge’s own test
-of merit, _Appleton’s_ gives about 300 per cent more to the race than
-Mr. Lodge accords it.
-
-Mr. Lodge classifies race by the paternal side alone, which is probably
-fair enough for practical purposes, and says:
-
-“In a large number of cases, especially where the extraction is not
-English, the race stock is given in the dictionary. In a still larger
-number of instances the name and the place of birth furnish unmistakable
-evidence as to race. That error should be avoided in this classification
-is not to be expected, but I am perfectly satisfied that the race
-distribution is in the main correct. Such errors as exist tend, I think,
-here as elsewhere in these statistics, to balance one another, and the
-net result is, I believe, so substantially accurate as to have very real
-value, and to throw a great deal of light on what we owe in the way of
-ability to each of the various races who settled the United States.”
-
-He counts as original settlers all who came to this country before the
-date of the adoption of the Constitution, A. D. 1789; those who came
-after that date are classified as “immigrants.” Taking the
-_Encyclopedia_ as his authority, he examines the birth or race
-extraction of 14,243 persons therein named as having achieved sufficient
-distinction to deserve mention. As a result he finds that over 10,000 of
-the number should be credited to the “English” race.
-
-It is not worth while to inquire into the accuracy of that estimate,
-since Mr. Lodge’s treatment of another race sufficiently disproves his
-claims to accuracy on any score.
-
-In Tables “D” and “H,” covering respectively the original settlers and
-the immigrants, he gives the number of men of the Irish race who have
-achieved the distinction of a place in _Appleton’s_. Nowhere,
-apparently, is any allowance made either for the distinguished
-descendants of the original Irish settlers, distinguished or obscure
-themselves, nor for the distinguished children of undistinguished
-immigrants since 1789.
-
-Charles Carroll of Carrollton is, we suppose, credited to the Irish of
-pre-Constitution days, and Thomas Addis Emmet to the “immigrant” class,
-but where does Mr. Lodge place the distinguished descendants of both?
-Where does he place the distinguished sons of obscure fathers, such men
-as Andrew Jackson and Robert Fulton? Certainly not among the race to
-which, according to _Appleton_, they belong, for they have no
-recognition in his “double star” table, to be described hereafter. Do
-they go to swell the ranks of the 10,000 English or those of the mixed
-and mythical “Scotch-Irish”?
-
-What does he do with Philip Sheridan, who being neither an “immigrant”
-nor descended from pre-Constitution ancestors, is in a worse case than
-his namesake, Philip Nolan, being a “man without a race?” We cannot
-believe that Mr. Lodge ever intended committing such a palpable
-absurdity, because if carried to its logical conclusion, it would apply
-equally to distinguished men of all races. Mr. Lodge himself, for all
-that _Appleton’s_ tells us to the contrary, never had a pre-Constitution
-ancestor, and has, therefore, no right to class himself among the 10,000
-“English,” as he presumably does.
-
-Mr. Lodge has a delightfully simple method of determining the relative
-values of great men. It is by noting how much of pictorial glory is
-awarded to each in the _Encyclopedia_. Persons whose biographical
-sketches are not illustrated with a portrait are not counted in at all.
-
-Those who have a vignette portrait are classified as “single stars.” The
-truly great, who have full-page portraits, are called “double stars”—of
-these there are 58 among the whole 14,243.
-
-Mr. Lodge confesses that encyclopediac fame is hardly just in giving
-double star honors to William Gilmore Simms and shutting out Hawthorne,
-Poe and Lowell, but Fame is notoriously capricious of her favors; which
-is why, perhaps, such authors as John Hay, T. W. Parsons, Theodore
-Roosevelt and many others are sent pictureless to posterity, while Mrs.
-E. D. E. N. Southworth and Mrs. Ann S. Stephens are immortalized in
-becoming wood-cuts. Mr. Lodge himself shines as a “single-star,” as does
-also Mr. E. P. Roe.
-
-But even in his stellar classification Mr. Lodge makes a singular
-mistake, again on the wrong side of the Irish account. His “totals by
-race extraction” allow only one double star to “Irish.” Yet his
-cyclopedic authority has full-page steel engravings of the following
-six, all credited to the Irish race, without any hint of a mythical
-Scotch mixture: Chester A. Arthur, son of Rev. William Arthur of Antrim;
-John C. Calhoun, son of Patrick and grandson of James of Donegal; Robert
-Fulton, son of a Kilkenny man; Andrew Jackson, son of Andrew of
-Carrickfergus; James K. Polk, descendant of Irish Polk or “Pollock”;
-Philip H. Sheridan, race not mentioned but pretty well known.
-
-Mr. Lodge is equally reckless of fact when he attempts to count the
-“single stars” of the Irish race. He finds only thirteen of these among
-the early settler class and eleven among the “immigrants”—twenty-four in
-all. Here are the names of sixty-five, given by _Appleton’s_, and not
-including such men of the Irish race as Lawrence Barrett, Lawrence and
-Philip Kearny, J. A. MacGahan, Commodore Macdonough and others, whose
-race is not specified in the cyclopedia:

-
-Under the first head, “Statesmen,” Mr. Lodge “includes not only persons
-who have held public office, but all who as reformers, agitators, or in
-any other capacity have distinguished themselves in public affairs.” He
-allows nine statesmen to the Irish in his first list. His authority,
-_Appleton’s Encyclopedia_, is more liberal, giving them no less than
-thirty, including seven signers of the Declaration of Independence.
-
-Not to answer assertion with mere counter-assertion, we have compiled
-the following list, from _Appleton’s_, including only such names as are
-specifically stated to belong to the Irish race, omitting all that are
-claimed as “Scotch-Irish,” and not even counting men of known Irish
-origin who are not so described in the cyclopedia.
-
-In so doing we purposely leave out scores of Kellys, Butlers, Moores,
-Barrys, Boyles, etc. We do not wish to claim anything beyond the strict
-letter of Mr. Lodge’s authority, _Appleton’s Encyclopedia_. For every
-name in the following lists given by _Appleton’s_ as Irish, but possibly
-of remoter Scotch or English origin, there will be found half a dozen
-other names in _Appleton’s_ of obvious Celtic Irish origin which are not
-here included because not so specified in the cyclopedia. We are taking
-Mr. Lodge’s authority as such, in order to show how wildly he has
-departed from it. Following is the correct list compiled from
-_Appleton’s_:

-Mr. Lodge is right, _i. e._, he follows his authority honestly in giving
-practically the correct number of names belonging to the departments of
-Art, Science and Architecture, and these alone.
-
-It is worth noting that, if the Irish are conspicuous by their absence
-from the last named, they are gloriously prominent in the first. The
-race which has given to America, Crawford, Milmore, Kelly, St. Gaudens,
-Thompson, Hennessey, O’Donovan and as many more, has contributed at

-                EMIGRATION FROM NEW ENGLAND TO IRELAND.
-
-
-        From Prendergast’s _Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland_.
-
-Prendergast’s _Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland_ says: “Ireland was now
-like an empty hive, prepared to receive its new swarm. One of the
-earliest efforts of the government towards replanting the parts reserved
-to themselves was to turn towards the lately expatriated English in
-America. In the early part of the year 1651, when the country, by their
-own description to the Council of State, was a scene of unparalleled
-waste and ruin, the Commissioners for Ireland affectionately urged Mr.
-Harrison, then a minister of the Gospel in New England, to come over to
-Ireland, which he would find experimentally was a comfortable seed plot
-(so they said) for his labours.
-
-“On his return to New England, it was hoped he might encourage those
-whose hearts the Lord should stir up to look back again towards their
-native country, to return and plant in Ireland. There they should have
-freedom of worship, and the (mundane) advantages of convenient lands,
-fit for husbandry, in healthful air, near to maritime towns or secure
-places, with such encouragement from the state as should demonstrate
-that it was their chief care to plant Ireland with a godly seed and
-generation.
-
-“Mr. Harrison was unable to come; but some movement appears to have been
-made towards a plantation from America, as proposals were received in
-January, 1655, for the planting of the town of Sligo and lands
-thereabouts, with families from New England; and lands on the Mile line,
-together with the two little islands called Oyster Island and Coney
-Island (containing 200 acres), were leased for one year, from 10th of
-April, 1655, for the use of such English families as should come from
-New England in America, in order to their transplantation.
-
-“In 1656 several families, arriving from New England at Limerick, had
-the excise of tobacco brought with them for the use of themselves and
-families remitted; and other families in May and July of that year, who
-had come over from New England to plant, were received as tenants of
-state lands near Garristown, in the county of Dublin, about fifteen
-miles north of the capital.”

-Stephen Jackson of Providence, R. I., was born in 1700, in Kilkenny,
-Ireland. He came to America, it is said, in 1724, to escape political
-persecution. He married, 1725, August 15, Anne Boone, daughter of Samuel
-and Mary Boone, of North Kingstown, R. I. He hired land in Providence in
-1745, and at this period is called “schoolmaster.” He bought and sold
-several parcels of land subsequently. In 1762, he and his son, Samuel,
-bought of Stephen Hopkins, land on the new street, called Benefit
-Street, where they were then living. Stephen Jackson died, 1765, July
-22, and was buried in the North burial ground. His wife, Anne, was born,
-1709, September 18. She died at Pomfret, Conn., 1782, January 30.

-                  THE AFFAIR AT FORT WILLIAM AND MARY.
-
-
-                      BY THE REV. THOMAS GREGORY.
-
-Just before sunset on the afternoon of December 13, 1774, Paul Revere
-jumped from his foam-covered steed in front of a house in Durham, New
-Hampshire, rushed in and informed its owner, Major John Sullivan, that
-two regiments of British regulars were about to march from Boston to
-occupy Portsmouth and the fort in its harbor. In an instant Sullivan
-made up his mind as to what it was his duty to do, and within less than
-two hours he had gathered his force and was ready for business.
-
-The party, sixteen in number, boarded an unwieldy, sloop-rigged old
-craft and darted off down the river to Portsmouth. It was a clear, cold
-moonlight night, and presently the crude masonry of old Fort William and
-Mary loomed up in the distance, reminding them of the fact that they
-were close on to their quarry. When within a rod or so of the shore
-their vessel grounded in the shallow water, and in silence they waded to
-land, mounted the fort, surprised the garrison and found themselves
-victorious without the loss of a man or even of a drop of blood.
-
-Securing the prisoners, the patriots at once broke into the magazine,
-where they found one hundred pounds of powder. The powder, along with
-one hundred stand of small arms, was put aboard of their craft and taken
-back to Durham, where it was buried under the pulpit of the old
-meeting-house in front of Major Sullivan’s house.
-
-Six months later the battle of Bunker Hill came off, and it was this
-same powder, captured by Major Sullivan at Fort William and Mary, that
-enabled the Americans to kill so many of the British in that historic
-encounter. Powder was exceedingly scarce in the patriot army, and
-Sullivan, anticipating that such might be the case, filled “old John
-Demerett’s ox-cart” with the powder he had buried under Parson Adams’
-pulpit and sent it over the sixty-odd miles of rocky road to Boston,
-where it was destined to do such good service in the cause of liberty.
-
-It was the news of Sullivan’s capture of Fort William and Mary that
-precipitated the Revolution. After such a daring deed Lexington was a
-foregone conclusion. In the words of another, “Sullivan was the first
-man in active rebellion against the British government, and he drew with
-him the province he lived in.” In an address on the history of this part
-of New Hampshire, Rev. Quint, of Dover, referring to the attack on the
-fort, said: “The daring character of the assault cannot be
-over-estimated. It was an organized investment of a royal fortress where
-the king’s flag was flying and where the king’s garrison met them with
-muskets and artillery. It was four months before Lexington, and
-Lexington was resistance to attack, while this was deliberate assault.”

-                     DOMINICK LYNCH AND HIS FAMILY.
-
-
-                     Compiled from Various Sources.
-
-Dominick Lynch was a member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, New
-York, as early as 1786; a prominent merchant; was of the firm Lynch &
-Stoughton, New York. A biographical sketch of Mr. Lynch was published
-some years ago in the _American Catholic Historical Researches_. It was
-written by Richard H. Clarke, LL. D., and treated the subject at great
-length. According to Dr. Clarke, Mr. Lynch was born in Galway, Ireland,
-in 1754.
-
-He married his cousin, Jane Lynch, a native of Dublin. Shortly after,
-Dominick and his wife went to reside at Bruges, in Flanders, where he
-established a commercial house, a branch of his father’s in Galway. He
-amassed a handsome fortune in Bruges and three of his children were born
-there. While engaged in business in Bruges he became acquainted with Don
-Thomas Stoughton, a merchant having commercial relations with France and
-Spain. Eventually, Lynch and Stoughton formed a co-partnership for the
-purpose of conducting business in America. The articles of
-co-partnership were dated March 10, 1783; the capital agreed upon was
-£7,500, of which amount Lynch furnished £5,000 and Stoughton, £2,500.
-

-
-Stoughton, in pursuance of the agreement, came to New York City and
-opened the business house of Lynch & Stoughton. Lynch visited London and
-Galway, and in 1785 sailed for America, reaching New York June 20 of
-that year. Stoughton was a bachelor, and Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, their three
-children and a number of servants, went to reside with him. Later,
-Stoughton was made Spanish consul at New York. Eventually, differences
-broke out between the partners, the firm was dissolved and each member
-sued the other. These two suits in chancery, Stoughton _vs._ Lynch and
-Lynch _vs._ Stoughton, were tried before Chancellor Kent and after
-pending for over twenty years, were finally decided adverse to Lynch.
-
-The latter had to pay Stoughton, besides fines and costs, $25,076. After
-the dissolution of the firm, Lynch retired in affluent circumstances
-largely on account of the wealth he had amassed in Bruges. It was said
-of him in New York that “he dispensed a bountiful and refined
-hospitality.” He was an earnest Catholic, gave liberally of his means to
-forward church work and was one of the representative men who signed the
-“Catholic Address” to George Washington. It is said of Lynch that upon
-arriving in New York, in 1785, he brought a large amount of specie with
-him and the advent of a man with such extensive financial resources
-created quite a stir. He was at one time offered, for what would today
-be considered a ridiculously small sum, a farm of twenty acres near City
-Hall, New York.
-
-He declined to buy the property, but with the same amount of money
-purchased 697 acres near Fort Stanwix on the Mohawk River. Before the
-year 1800 he had increased his holdings there to about 2,000 acres. As
-early as 1796, he laid this property out in village lots, and called the
-place Lynchville. Later, he changed the name to Rome, perhaps in honor
-of the Eternal City. Between the years 1800 and 1820, he built a woolen
-mill, a cotton factory and a saw-mill at Rome, which place he had
-founded. It is said that the southeast corner of Fort Stanwix was
-levelled to make room for a mansion erected by him. In 1797, Dominick
-purchased an estate in West Chester County, N. Y., bordering Long Island
-Sound. Here he built a magnificent stone residence after the style of
-chateaus he had seen in Flanders. This was his home for the remainder of
-his life. He continued to dispense “munificent hospitality, took a
-leading part in the social events of the metropolis, and manifested to
-the end a zealous and active zeal in the growth of the Catholic church
-in New York.”
-
-He died in 1825 and his widow in 1849. At his death his children were
-thirteen in number, _i. e._—James, Anastasia, Anthony, Dominick,
-Alexander, Margaret, Jasper, Jane, Henry, Harriet, Louisa, Edward and
-William. By the marriage of these children, the family has become allied
-with many of the old families of New York and Pennsylvania, including
-the Tillotsons, Shippens, Leas, Laurences, Nortons, Luquers, Pringles,
-Maitlands, Harveys, Ridgways, etc. James Lynch, the oldest of Dominick’s
-thirteen children, resided in Rome, N. Y., represented Oneida County in
-the state legislature for several years, and was later a judge of the
-Court of Sessions, and of the Marine, now City, Court, of New York.
-Dominick Lynch, 2d, at the time of, and after, his father’s death became
-a prominent merchant in New York City. This second Dominick was spoken
-of as “the most fashionable man in New York.” He made quite a reputation
-as proprietor of Lynch’s Chateau Margeaux, Lynch’s Sauterne and Lynch’s
-Lucca Oil. It is said of him that he “coined money and spent it with the
-freedom of a prince,” and that he “went into the best society.” He
-resided on Greenwich Street “opposite the Battery.” He died in 1844. He
-“was a Roman Catholic as his father had been.”
-
-Dominick Lynch, 3d, grandson of the first Dominick, was a man of great
-public spirit, an elegant conversationalist and the possessor of musical
-talents. He became a naval officer, served under Perry in the Mexican
-war, and was also in the Civil War. He died in 1884. Dominick Lynch,
-4th, was a lieutenant in the Fourth U. S. Cavalry and died some years
-ago. Speaking of the Lynches and others, Barrett’s _Old Merchants of New
-York City_ says: “These Irish families are the cream of the cream of the
-old families here.”

-                   A SHIP FROM IRELAND IS CAST AWAY.
-
-
-The ship _Alknomac_ sailed from the river of Sligo, Ireland, in October,
-1811, with 79 passengers. After a passage of 73 days she was cast away
-at Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. The passengers and crew were rescued and
-spent nine days there. Captain Hicks, who commanded the _Alknomac_, at
-length provided a sloop in which the passengers embarked for New York.
-Unfavorable weather continuing, the sloop was driven ashore at Newport,
-R. I., December 24, 1811, where passengers and crew were again landed.
-The New York _Shamrock_, describing the incident, says: “Commodore
-Rodgers was on the Newport station when 79 Irish passengers were landed
-from a wrecked vessel. He humanely tendered the hand of hospitality and
-liberally provided them with every necessary to enable them to proceed
-to New York, the port of their original destination. Eight of the
-passengers who have come by land were supplied with money, and the
-others who remained waiting for a passage by water, received money,
-provisions and every necessary aid from the American commander.”

-
-Otsego Lake, in central New York, possesses not only the charm of
-romance due to the pen of Fenimore Cooper, but also an historical
-interest. In the year 1779 an expedition was sent against the hostile
-Indians around Lake Cayuga. A brigade under the command of Gen. James
-Clinton, the brother of George Clinton and father of DeWitt Clinton
-(each of whom held the office of governor of New York at one time), went
-up the Mohawk and then cut across through the forest, to the head of the
-Otsego, finally encamping at the foot of the lake.
-
-The Susquehanna at its source is a very narrow stream and did not permit
-the floating of the 220 boats brought along by the troops. An ingenious
-plan was devised to overcome this difficulty. The small gorge through
-which the river flows as it leaves the lake was dammed, thereby
-collecting the waters. When a sufficient amount had been collected, the
-troops embarked, the dam was knocked out, and the boats were carried by
-the flood to a point near Tioga, where the brigade joined the forces
-under General Sullivan. It is said that the Indians along the banks,
-beholding the overflow of the river in summer, without any apparent
-reason, thought that it was an interposition of the Great Spirit, and
-fled in terror. The site of the dam has been suitably marked by the
-Otsego Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

-                   IRISH BUILDERS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
-
-
-               BY MARTIN I. J. GRIFFIN, PHILADELPHIA, PA.
-
-Not only were Catholics—L’Enfant, the Frenchman, and Dermott, the
-Irishman—the planners of the Federal City, Washington, but a Catholic,
-James Hoban, a native of Ireland, was the architect and builder of the
-president’s palace, as it was first called, the president’s house as
-later designated, but better known as the White House.
-
-Hoban was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1758. When only twenty-two years
-old he won a medal from the Dublin Society for “drawings of brackets,
-stairs, roof, etc.” It is now in possession of his grandson, James
-Hoban, of Washington. He came to this country after the revolution and
-soon became known as an architect and builder.
-
-When, in 1791, Washington visited South Carolina, writes Mr. Griffin,
-Colonel Laurens and others recommended to him the abilities as an
-architect and the executive worth of James Hoban, the Kilkenny Irishman,
-who had, since his arrival, added to the growth and adornment of the
-neighborhood by the exercise of that skill and ingenuity which the new
-country so much needed.
-
-Mr. Hoban went to Washington city and submitted to the commissioners a
-plan for the president’s palace. His plan was accepted immediately and
-without hesitation after a view of the drawings which were submitted.
-
-Hoban’s plan of the president’s palace being adopted, the selection of
-the site on which to erect it required the personal attention of
-Washington himself. So on August 2, 1792, the commissioners and
-President Washington “viewed the ground, particularly at the place for
-the palace. It has given him considerable trouble and difficulty to fix
-his mind,” wrote the commissioners.
-
-Hoban’s design of the president’s house contemplated a central building
-with wings. The central portion was executed according to his designs
-and under his supervision (we are told he received 300 guineas a year
-for his services)—both before and after the damage by the British in
-1814. The north portico was not completed until 1820, and then according
-to Hoban’s plan. Its popular name of the White House is due to his
-thought of painting the brownstone fronting the exterior walls to
-conceal the discoloration by smoke and fire.
-
-Cornelius McDermott Roe, Patrick McDermott Roe and John Delahunty had
-the contract for all the brick and stone work on the president’s house
-for one season, and John Kearney did all the plastering on the capitol.
-
-Thus far in our investigations we have found that a Catholic was one of
-the commissioners; that two Catholics planned the city; that a Catholic
-designed and built the president’s house and also superintended the
-erection of the capitol, which three Catholics contracted to build, and
-another did the plastering, while Patrick Whalen dug the cellar. Surely
-Irish Catholics seem to have had a goodly share in the foundation of the
-Capital City.
-
-Mr. Hoban died on December 9, 1831, and was buried in St. Patrick’s
-Cemetery. In May, 1863, his grandson and namesake, James Hoban, Esq.,
-purchased a lot in Mount Olivet Cemetery, near Washington, and the
-remains of James Hoban and others of the family were removed thereto.

-           COL. FRANCIS BARBER, A SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION.
-
-
-                 BY JAMES L. O’NEILL, ELIZABETH, N. J.
-
-Patrick Barber was born in County Longford, Ireland, and was the father
-of Col. Francis Barber, who was a gallant soldier of the American
-Revolution. The colonel himself was born (1751) in Princeton, N. J., and
-long resided in Elizabethtown, N. J.
-
-The father, Patrick, had come over in the same ship with Clinton. They
-are said to have been kinsmen. After a perilous voyage lasting some four
-months, they finally reached New York, where Clinton remained, Barber
-continuing on to Princeton, N. J.
-
-Patrick Barber resided in Princeton for years and here were born four of
-his sons—Francis, John, William and Joseph. Col. Francis Barber
-graduated from Princeton College after securing for himself a
-distinguished reputation for his classical attainments. As we may infer
-from the character of Elizabethtown’s first settlers, much attention was
-paid to the subject of education by the people. And to this we may
-attribute the strong influence which for a long time it maintained in
-the province. We find in 1767, a Mr. Pemberton and a Mr. Reeves at the
-head of a school. In 1769, they left the institution and Francis Barber
-was appointed to fill the vacancy. He continued in the position until
-the commencement of the war, a period when teachers and many scholars
-left the quiet pursuits of science and rushed to arms for the defence of
-the country.
-
-In 1776, Mr. Barber received from Congress a commission as major of the
-Third Battalion of New Jersey troops, and at the close of the year he
-was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the Third Jersey Regiment.
-Subsequently, he became assistant inspector-general under Baron Steuben,
-who expressed a high opinion of his ability and services. Colonel Barber
-was in constant service during the whole war. With his regiment he
-served under General Schuyler at the north. He was at the battles of
-Ticonderoga, Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth,
-and came near losing his life in the latter.
-
-He was at one time adjutant-general under Sullivan. He served with
-distinction in the Wyoming Valley and Indian troubles. He was actively
-engaged in the battle of Springfield. In 1781, he was at the capture of
-the British army at Yorktown. Colonel Barber, although not more than
-thirty years at his death, had twice married, one of his helpmates,
-being the daughter of Moses Ogden, whose residence was the old town home
-that still stands on the north side of Elizabeth Avenue below Reed
-Street.
-
-So close was his friendship with Lafayette that they exchanged swords.
-The sword Lafayette gave Barber is now in the Washington headquarters at
-Newburgh, N. Y., while the one Barber gave in exchange is preserved in
-Paris. Speaking of men noted in the military world, a few years ago,
-General Stryker, president of the Society of the Cincinnati, at the
-meeting of that organization, which was attended by William P. Barber,
-said that he considered Colonel Barber an ideal soldier. W. P. Barber is
-a great great-grandson of Colonel Barber. Colonel Barber was the tutor
-of Alexander Hamilton.

-
-After having escaped the dangers of the many military campaigns, Colonel
-Barber was finally killed, 1783, by a most peculiar accident. Just after
-peace had been declared, General Washington summoned all his officers to
-meet him at his headquarters in Newburgh. Colonel Barber was on his way
-there, and but a few miles distant, when he came upon a gang of men
-chopping down trees in a piece of woods. One of the men called to him in
-a warning tone to stop his horse, just as a tree had started to topple
-over in his path. The chopper thought the tree was going to fall another
-way, but it struck and killed the unsuspecting officer, who realized his
-danger too late to save himself. Had he been allowed to go on without
-stopping, a life of such inestimable value to his country would without
-doubt have been saved. He was a fine scholar, a skillful and brave
-officer and rendered great and important services to his country.

-
-                   CONCERNING THE IRISH MONTGOMERYS.
-
-
-In the _New York Herald_, September 10, 1905, is a statement by “L. W.,
-London, England,” giving many details of interest concerning the
-ancestry and family of Gen. Richard Montgomery. The statement appears in
-the genealogical department of the _Herald_, of that date, which
-department is conducted by Mrs. Clara H. Manning. The statement is in
-answer to a correspondent and is as follows:
-
-“H. W. N.’s family tradition is at fault. Gen. Richard Montgomery had no
-sister Elizabeth. His only sister was Sarah, wife of Charles Jones,
-fourth Viscount Planelagh, and mother of thirteen children. General
-Montgomery had brothers, John and Alexander. John died unmarried in
-Lisbon, 1786. His administration is in the Prerogative Court of Ireland.
-Alexander, the brother, was captain in the Forty-third Regiment and
-member of the Irish Parliament for County Donegal; died unmarried
-September 29, 1800. His will is in the Prerogative Court of Ireland.
-Lady Planelagh and her three brothers were the children of Thomas
-Montgomery, of Swords, near Dublin, eldest son of Alexander Montgomery,
-of Ballyleek, who married Mary Francklyn.
-
-“Thomas Montgomery had several brothers and sisters. His brother,
-Robert, of Brandram, County Monaghan, married Sarah Maxwell. This is the
-nearest Maxwell connection. Thomas had many cousins. Ulster has many
-Montgomerys of other lines. It is said the Earl of Mount Alexander could
-ride at the head of a regiment all Montgomerys. At one time in the Irish
-Parliament were six Montgomerys all over six feet in height and the
-handsomest men in Dublin.... By far [one of] the most noted family of
-modern times is that of the Montgomerys of Grey Abbey, County Down, a
-famous military stock.
-
-“For all this they have a pedigree made in the eighteenth century to
-take them on to the famous old Grey Abbey stock of the early Ulster
-settlement. As a fact, they are descended from a thrifty yeoman who
-purchased Grey Abbey after the old stock had died out. No American
-Montgomerys can prove any near connection with either the Montgomerys of
-Ballyleek or the Earls of Mount Alexander. The nearest probable American
-connection is not of the Montgomery name, being that of the descendants
-of Thomas Patterson, who emigrated from County Donegal to Philadelphia
-at the time of the Irish rebellion. Thomas Patterson was grandson of
-Alleriah Montgomery, said by tradition to be a cousin of the general.
-Her marriage certificate in the diocese of Raphoe indicates her as
-coming from the vicinity of the general’s family, being about his age
-and not belonging to any other of the Montgomery families in that part
-of Ireland.”

-              A GLANCE AT SOME PIONEER IRISH IN THE SOUTH.
-
-
-                 BY MICHAEL J. O’BRIEN, NEW YORK CITY.
-
-No section of the Union presents a wider or more diversified field for
-historical inquiry than the Carolinas and Virginia.
-
-All the territory from the Delaware River south to Cape Fear was named
-“Virginia” by the English, and it is generally supposed that it was in
-the present state of Virginia the earliest colonists landed. It was,
-however, the Indians of North Carolina who were the first to set eyes on
-the white men who came to America with the famous navigator, Sir Walter
-Raleigh, in the year 1584.
-
-Among these first-comers to the Carolinas Irishmen are found, and in the
-resistance to the authority and encroachments of the British organized
-in that section many years later, the sons of Erin and their descendants
-are recorded as having played an honorable and prominent part.
-
-In Hakluyt’s _Voyages, Navigations, Traffiques and Discouveries of the
-English Nation_ are found some interesting facts relating to the first
-voyages of the English, under Raleigh and his lieutenants, to the
-western world. Richard Hakluyt was one of those who accompanied Raleigh
-on his first voyage of discovery in 1584. His _Voyages and
-Discouveries_, now a work of extreme rarity (it was published in London
-over 300 years ago), is by all odds the most celebrated book ever
-written on the subject, and forms the basis of all true history of the
-colonization of the Carolinas and Virginia. It is printed in the old
-English text of the sixteenth century, which renders its examination a
-task as laborious as it is interesting. The writer has examined the copy
-of this famous work in the Astor Library, and we are sure our readers
-will be interested in learning something of its contents at this stage.
-
-The second voyage was undertaken by Sir Richard Greenville in the year
-1585. The company comprised 107 persons. Hakluyt’s great work (page 254,
-volume 3) contains “an account of the particulars of the employments of
-the Englishmen left in Virginia by Sir Richard Greenville under the
-charge of Master Ralph Lane, general of the same, from August 17, 1585,
-to June 18, 1586.”
-
-It will be observed that Greenville refers to “the Englishmen left in
-Virginia.” This would lead the ordinary reader to the conclusion that
-the expedition was comprised of Englishmen only, but such an assumption
-would be erroneous. In those days Ireland had a merchant marine of her
-own, and the ships which sailed from Irish ports, and indeed not a few
-of those whose home ports were in England, were manned by Irish seamen.
-(See Marmion’s _Maritime Ports of Ireland_.) What more natural,
-therefore, than to expect that Irish names should be found among the
-lists of these “Englishmen?” All of the early histories of the southern
-colonies refer to the first settlers as English. No suggestion is ever
-made, as far as the writer can find, that these first-comers may not all
-have been English, or that any Irish people were amongst them. Yet it is
-a fact that Irishmen came too in search of adventure, and no better
-testimony in support of that assertion can be adduced than the lists of
-the names of the persons who came on these colonizing expeditions.
-
-Here are some of the names from Greenvilles’ list, as they were written
-down at the time: Edward Kelley, R. Courtney, Hugh Rogers, Thomas Fox,
-Darby “Glande,” Edward Nugent, John “Costigo” (Costigan), James Lafie,
-Francis Norris, Richard Moore, Richard Ireland, Matthew Lyne, Dennis
-Barnes, “Denice” Carroll, Robert Young, Thomas Hesket, Richard Humphrey
-and R. Griffin. Many of these, undoubtedly, were natives of Ireland.
-This is said to have been the first English colony that settled in
-America, the previous expedition having returned with its entire
-company.
-
-They entered Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic by what is now known as New
-Inlet, and then landed at Roanoke Island, thence crossed over to the
-mainland to the eastern portion of North Carolina, just south of
-Norfolk, Va. They followed the course of the Chowan River for a short
-distance, and soon came in contact with the Indians. Hakluyt’s work
-contains an interesting narrative of the voyage and of the explorations
-of the party in Virginia, written by Ralph Lane, in which long accounts
-are given of their encounters with the savage Indians. In his account of
-one fight, on the first of June, 1586, he refers to the bravery of “one
-of my Irish boys,” who shot Pemisapan, the king of the Indians, “athwart
-the buttocks with my petronell.” The Irish boy’s shot did not, however,
-bring down the Indian king, and the wily redskin, with a number of his
-warriors, managed to escape into the dense forest.
-
-But then, another Irishman, who was not afraid to face the Indian band
-singlehanded, was there to finish the work of the youthful adventurer
-from Erin, “for,” writes Lane, “in the end an Irishman serving me, one
-Nugent, and the deputy provost undertook him”—that is to say,
-volunteered to capture or kill the Indian king—“and I, in some doubt
-lest we had lost both the king and my man, by our own negligence to have
-been intercepted by the savages, we met him returning out of the woods
-with Pemisapan’s head in his hands.”
-
-The place where the bold Irishman, Edward Nugent, and the nameless youth
-thus earned such prominent mention in early American history has been
-located as in Chowan County, near the present town of Edenton, N. C.
-
-It seems that in all of the early voyages of the English to the American
-continent the adventurous Irishman was present. On Raleigh’s first
-voyage the largest ship was commanded by a Captain Butler, and Captain
-Edward Hayes commanded a vessel in the expedition of Sir H. Gilbert to
-Newfoundland in 1583. Sixteen years earlier, 1567, Robert Barrett and
-John Garrett commanded ships in the expedition to Mexico under Sir John
-Hawkins. There is nothing to show that these captains were of the Irish
-nation, but their names have been for centuries so common in Ireland
-that we venture to include them in this category.
-
-In 1568, when Hawkins arrived in the Gulf of Mexico, he put ashore a
-company comprising 68 men under Miles Philips, a little north of Panuco.
-From the curiously-worded narrative of Miles Philips, entitled “The
-voyages from Panuco, thence to Mexico, and afterwards to sundry other
-places, having remained in the counterey 15 or 16 yeeres together, and
-noted many things most worthy of observation,” which is contained in
-Hakluyt’s third volume, we glean some interesting information.
-
-The whole company was captured by a band of Indians and Spaniards, and
-immediately haled before the governor, who “visited them with the
-terrors of the Inquisition.” John Gray, John and Thomas Browne, John
-Mooney, James Collier and John Rider were sentenced to receive 200
-lashes on horseback and to serve eight years in the galleys; others of
-the company received various terms of servitude, while others were
-condemned to serve as servants or slaves in the monasteries. Three were
-condemned to be burned to ashes, and the inhuman sentence was carried
-out in the market place of the City of Mexico on the day preceding Good
-Friday in the year 1575.
-
-The three unfortunates were George Riuely (Reilly), Peter Momfrie and
-“Cornelius.” Philips was unacquainted with the full name of the latter,
-but in order to distinguish him from another of the party who bore the
-same Christian name, he refers to him as “Cornelius the Irishman.” In
-relating the circumstances of his subsequent escape, Philips stated that
-several of the adventurers, after the expiration of their terms of
-servitude, remained in Mexico, married native women, and some prospered
-in the new country.
-
-The same volume of Hakluyt (page 286) contains the story of “The Fourth
-Voyage, made to Virginia in 1587, wherein was transported the Second
-Colony,” written by the commander, Captain John White. The narrative
-runs in part:
-
-“On the first day of July (1587) we weighed anchor at Musketo’s Bay,
-upon the fourth side of St. John’s Island, where were left behind two
-Irishmen of our company, Darbie Glaven and Dennis Carrell, thence
-bearing along the coast of St. John’s till evening.” The vessels
-anchored in the bay for the purpose of securing a supply of salt, which
-Simon Fernando, who was with Raleigh on the first expedition, had
-informed White could be procured on the island. The two hardy Irishmen,
-Glaven and Carrell, were selected to go ashore and procure the necessary
-supply. They proceeded inland, but, during their absence, Fernando, for
-some reason that does not appear, persuaded the commander to weigh
-anchor, and before the two unfortunates had returned to the shore, the
-vessels were far on their way. It would be interesting if we could
-follow the fortunes of the two Irish castaways among the Indians of the
-Danish West Indies, but history contains no further account of them.
-
-In the following September, when one of the vessels of the expedition
-was on its return to England, she encountered a great storm. The crew
-and passengers were in sore straits on account of the lack of food and
-water, expecting to perish by famine at sea. On October 16, however,
-when they had almost given up in despair, they sighted land, which
-proved to be the coast of Kerry. By the aid of “a hulke of Dublin” they
-entered Smerwick Bay, where the inhabitants at once succored them. White
-relates that the whole company was brought ashore at “Dingen a Cos,”
-where the sick sailors and passengers were taken care of by the local
-doctor.
-

-]
-
-The writer of the narrative pays a well-merited tribute to the
-inhabitants of Smerwick and Dingle for their timely and spontaneous aid.
-They stayed at Smerwick for over two weeks; there White distributed some
-potato plants among the people, “the first ever seen in Europe.” It is
-generally supposed that it was Raleigh who first brought the potato
-plant to Europe, but according to White’s account, it was he who
-introduced it, and that it was the inhabitants of the County of Kerry
-who were the first Europeans to taste the esculent tuber.
-
-Could John White, who wrote the official account of, and commanded this
-expedition, have been an Irishman? His story of the fifth voyage is
-dated “from my house at Newtown, in Kilmore, the fourth of February,
-1593.” There is no such place as Kilmore in England, but there are
-several such places in Ireland, and the name is distinctively Irish. The
-town of Dingle, County Kerry, has always been and even is still known to
-the inhabitants as “Dingen a Cos.” It will be observed that White
-referred to the town by its Irish, not by its Anglicized appellation,
-which, to some, may be suggestive that a knowledge of the Gaelic
-language, which, happily, most Irishmen spoke in those days, was one of
-the accomplishments of the historian mariner.
-
-And is it not highly probable that White and his officers, who came to
-form such friendly intercourse with the fisher-folk of the Kerry coast,
-may have informed them of “the great land beyond the sea,” with the
-result that, on his subsequent voyages to Virginia, he was accompanied
-by not a few of the hardy natives of the Kingdom of Kerry?
-
-After the forfeiture of the immense estates of the Desmonds in Munster
-in 1584, Raleigh came into possession of 12,000 acres in Cork, Waterford
-and Tipperary. He built and made his home in the castle of Lismore, and
-soon after established at the neighboring ports of Waterford and Youghal
-a large trade in lumber and barrel staves with France and Spain. His
-ships were largely manned by Irish sailors, and it is entirely within
-the bounds of probability that Raleigh impressed into his transatlantic
-crews some of the sailors and fishermen of the Munster coast.
-
-In the charter which Raleigh received from the English crown on March
-27, 1585, empowering him to hold the lands which he had colonized in
-America and apportion them among the colonists, reference is made to
-“persons from England and Ireland,” thus showing that Irishmen were
-among the first white settlers of the western world.
-
-Among those who landed in North Carolina from White’s fourth expedition,
-and “remayned to inhabite there,” were Thomas Coleman, Edward and
-Winifred Powell, James Hyndes, William and Henry Browne, Thomas Ellis,
-Michael Millet, James Lafie, Maurice Allen, Richard Berry, Dennis and
-Margery Harvie, William Waters, Martin Sutton, Hugh Patterson, Thomas
-Humphrey and John and Brian “Wyles.” Most of these names are common to
-Britain as well as to Ireland, but, without doubt, some of them were
-natives of Ireland.
-
-These colonists all either perished from famine or were slain by the
-savage enemy. Some are supposed to have sought asylum among the Hatteras
-Indians at Croatoan, who were friendly to the whites. Lawson, one of the
-historians of North Carolina, writing in 1714 of the natives of
-Croatoan, relates how the Indians told him that some of their ancestors
-were white people and “could talk in a book as we do,” and that many of
-the Hatteras Indians had gray eyes, which are known only among whites.
-
-In his account of the fifth voyage, White tells of their arrival at the
-mouth of the Roanoke on August 17, 1590. A great storm raged; the ship’s
-boats were tossed about at the mercy of the waves, and eleven of the
-company drowned, among them Edward Kelly, Edward Kilborne and Robert
-Coleman. These three are mentioned as “among 7 of the chiefest men of
-the expedition.”
-
-Hawk, one of the historians of North Carolina, says that “in 1666 the
-Lords Proprietors had agents employed in seeking emigrants on the
-continent of Europe, and in Ireland, Scotland and the West Indies,” and
-the same author in referring to the divers religious beliefs professed
-by the people of North Carolina (about 1700), refers to “the Irish
-Romanists.” It is to be regretted that we have no means of tracing the
-names or careers of any of those “Irish Romanists.”
-
-Hewatt’s _Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Colonies of
-South Carolina and Georgia_ (published at London in the year 1776), is
-referred to by historians as an authoritative work. In this book many
-references are made to the early Irish settlers of the Carolinas. The
-author describes the dreadful extremities to which the poor settlers in
-the vicinity of Charlestown (now Charleston), S. C., were reduced in the
-year 1667.
-
-During the government of Sir John Yeamans a civil disturbance broke out
-among the colonists, which threatened the ruin of the settlement. “The
-Proprietors,” says Hewatt, “were unable to furnish the colony with
-regular supplies, and the spots of sandy and barren land poorly rewarded
-their toil. Many of them were unskilled, and the European grain which
-they were accustomed to sow soon proved suitable to neither soil nor
-climate. The settlers began to murmur against the Proprietors and to
-curse the day they left their native land to starve in a wilderness.
-While they gathered oysters for subsistence with one hand, they were
-obliged to carry the musket in the other for defence against the
-Indians.”
-
-In this emergency, a true son of Ireland is seen to have been in the
-forefront of the battles waged by the afflicted colonists. Florence
-O’Sullivan was one of the leading men among the settlers of Charlestown,
-some of whom were his countrymen, and to whom they looked for guidance
-and counsel. O’Sullivan is said to have come to South Carolina with
-Governor Sayle. He was surveyor-general of the province until he was
-succeeded by John Culpeper in 1671. He is thought to have been of the
-famous family of that name whose paternal home was on the borders of
-Cork and Kerry, and which gave to America schoolmasters, governors, a
-celebrated general of the Revolutionary army, and in later days men who
-distinguished themselves in every sphere of activity in the new country.
-
-To add to the troubles between the colonists and the Indians, it is
-related that about this time there was great fear among the Carolinians
-of an invasion by the Spaniards from the South. Militia companies were
-formed in and around Charlestown to resist invasion, and O’Sullivan had
-been placed in command of a body of men on an island in the harbor—now
-known as Sullivan’s Island. Their situation was one of great danger and
-they were instructed to warn the inhabitants on the first approach of
-the enemy, and then return to shore. “The great gun”—evidently the only
-one available—was in the immediate charge of O’Sullivan.
-
-The Spaniards did not put in an appearance; the scanty supplies of the
-party soon gave out, but they stuck to their post until starvation
-stared them in the face. They remained until all hope had fled that
-their supplies would be replenished, and when they were not forthcoming,
-O’Sullivan and his men, deciding that to perish from hunger would be an
-inglorious end, deserted the island without consulting the governor and
-joined the discontented party in the town.
-
-Thereupon, we are told, the people became ungovernable and threatened to
-compel the authorities to relinquish the settlement. O’Sullivan was
-arrested by the town marshal and “compelled to find security for his
-good behavior.” Vessels were despatched to Virginia and to Barbadoes for
-provisions, but, before they returned, a ship arrived from Europe with
-supplies and a number of new settlers. “The newcomers revived the
-drooping spirits of the people and encouraged them to engage in more
-vigorous efforts. The governor, sensible of the hardships the people had
-suffered, readily forgave them,” and O’Sullivan and his friends were
-released from further restraint.
-
-The Spanish authorities at St. Augustine, “on learning the belated news
-of the discontented and miserable condition of the Carolina colonists,”
-advanced with an armed party as far as St. Helena Island, about 50 miles
-south of Charlestown, to dislodge or destroy the settlers. Brian
-Fitzpatrick, a well-known “character” of the settlement, is said to have
-deserted his friends at this juncture and to have gone over to the
-Spaniards. What his purpose was in doing so does not appear. However,
-reinforcements arrived to aid the Carolinians, upon which the Spaniards
-evacuated St. Helena and retreated to Augustine.
-
-After the death of Governor Yeamans in 1674, the inhabitants called a
-meeting at Charlestown, when they elected representatives for the
-purpose of making laws for the government of the colony. Thomas Gray,
-Henry Hughes, Maurice Mathews and Christopher Portman were the four
-deputies chosen by the people.
-
-In 1680 Richard Kirle, who is described as “an Irish gentleman,”
-succeeded to the governorship, but he died six months after taking the
-reins of office.
-
-Elsewhere we have referred to the wholesale exportation of the Irish by
-Cromwell, mainly to the Island of Barbadoes, during the first half of
-the seventeenth century. In time, those who survived the tropical
-climate became freemen, and eventually even some became landowners,
-planters and the business men of the island. Numbers of them, on gaining
-their freedom, sailed for the American coast with their families. They
-had been apprised of the opportunities open for them in the South, as
-the planters of Virginia and the Carolinas had their agents in the West
-Indies inducing them to settle on the mainland. In John Camden Hotten’s
-famous work, there is a list of those who departed from Barbadoes in the
-year 1678, which is described in this quaint language:
-
-“List of what Ticqtts. have been granted out of the Secretary’s office
-of the Island of Barbadoes for departure off this island of the several
-psones hereafter menconed, beginning in January, 1678, and ending in
-December following.”
-
-These are seen to have sailed for Virginia and the Carolinas and other
-American colonies:

-On one ship, the _True Friendship_, commanded by Capt. Charles Kallahan,
-these sailed from Barbadoes:
-
- Jeoffrey Burke
- Thomas Clovan
- Richard Lynch
- Patrick Maddin
- Thomas Swiney
- Samuel Wall
-
-Those who left Barbadoes for America in the year 1678 are the only ones
-recorded by Hotten, but for many years there was a constant stream of
-wanderers leaving the West Indies for the American coast. We are as yet
-unable to procure any records but those of the year 1678.
-
-Thus we see what a great infusion of Irish blood Virginia and the
-Carolinas received in the year 1678 alone. Some of these were servants,
-but among them also were men of family, who either settled down on the
-plantations or received grants of uncultivated lands themselves, which,
-in course of time, they converted into fruitful estates. It has been
-well said that “the fighting races don’t die out,” and surely the blood
-of these early Gaels must have been a potent factor in moulding the
-Americans of later generations in the South.
-
-Irish families are invariably large, and as the same homely virtue is
-usually practised by their descendants, it will not be deemed an
-exaggeration when we say that thousands of the present natives of the
-South are descended directly or indirectly from the Irish colonizers
-from Barbadoes of the last half of the seventeenth century. There is no
-system of calculation by which we could arrive at any adequate idea of
-the probable number of American descendants of those early settlers,
-but, if we adopt the simple method of taking the number of generations
-that have elapsed since their coming, and then apportion, say an average
-of five persons to each family for each succeeding generation, we can
-safely conclude that when American historians refer to the pioneers of
-the South as wholly “of Anglo-Saxon origin,” they are playing fast and
-loose with their imaginations.
-
-The provincial authorities were anxious to attract immigrants to open up
-the virgin forest and extend the bounds of their domain, so we find them
-in communication with the government agents in England and Ireland,
-offering the most flattering inducements to all who desired to settle in
-the new country.
-
-Farmers, artisans and agricultural laborers were particularly needed,
-while they objected to the importation of convicts and other undesirable
-persons. Irish political refugees were sometimes classed as “convicts,”
-and while the provincial history, supported by other testimony of an
-indubitable character, indicates that great numbers of Irish “convicts”
-settled in Virginia, it is seen that once they had landed on the soil,
-they were, in a manner, “tolerated” and permitted to stay, and
-accordingly were parcelled out among the planters and others who needed
-the services of able-bodied men.
-
-The privations suffered by those imported Irish “convicts” under the
-vassalage of their colonial masters are, in some cases, beyond
-description, and would shake the credulity of the most sympathetic. Many
-of them occupied even lower positions than the Southern slaves of a
-later day. Not only were they the tillers of the soil, the woodsmen of
-the forest, and the builders of the highways, but they occupied “the
-firing line” in the resistance of the planters to the attacks of the
-savage redskins. Here where the ravages of the Indians were so terrible,
-these Irishmen and boys, so rudely torn from their own country,
-inflicted on savagery many a mortal blow and opened the way for the
-civilization whose fruits we now enjoy.
-
-The continued cry for settlers attracted the avarice of many of the
-Cromwellian adventurers in Ireland, who thus became most efficient aids
-in carrying on the barbarous work of the English commissioners, who were
-appointed by government to exterminate the Irish.
-
-As Prendergast relates in his _Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland_, they
-had agents actively engaged throughout Ireland, “who were authorized by
-Parliament to seize women, orphans and the destitute to be transported
-to Barbadoes and the plantations of Virginia.” Among the destitute were
-those whose ancient properties had been confiscated by the crown and
-many of whom had become wanderers over the stricken island, or had
-become inmates of the workhouses. “The commissioners for Ireland,” says
-Prendergast, “issued orders to the governors of garrisons to deliver all
-prisoners of war; to the jail-keepers for all offenders in their
-custody; to the masters of workhouses for the destitute in their care,
-and gave directions to all in authority to seize those who had no
-visible means of livelihood and deliver them to the British agents.” All
-unfortunates who were thus caught were quickly conducted to the
-waterside and there herded like so many cattle until such time as a
-sufficient number had been gathered in to embark them on board some ship
-bound for the West Indies or the coast of Virginia.
-
-Some of the English adventurers in Ireland also engaged in the business
-of man-hunting on their own account, and we find from the records of
-Virginia that on April 12, 1621, Sir William Newce, an English officer
-who resided in the County of Cork, wrote to the governor “offering to
-transport two thousand persons to Virginia.” The same records indicate
-that Daniel Gookin, an Irish Quaker merchant of Cork City, was in the
-business of transporting cattle from Ireland to Virginia. On one
-occasion, he came in person to the colony, and, seeing the probable
-advantages of a permanent settlement in the country, he sailed from Cork
-in the _Flying Harte_ with a large number of his countrymen, who, we are
-told, “were exceedingly well furnished with all sorts of provisions and
-cattle,” and landed at Newport News in November, 1621.
-
-Notwithstanding that the records of Virginia say that this large colony
-came from Ireland, they are referred to by historians, who at all make
-reference to them, as “English.” The fact that they were so “well
-furnished” would also indicate that Ireland sent forth other colonizers
-to America in those early days besides the “convicts” and the
-“destitute.”
-
-In the “Records of the London Company” (the Proprietors of Virginia),
-Daniel Gookin is mentioned as having undertaken “to transport great
-multitudes of people and cattle to Virginia,” and as having “received
-patents for 300 people.” The records do not state from where this large
-colony came, but, from the fact that their leader had formerly been a
-merchant in the city of Cork, from where his first contingent sailed, it
-is entirely within the bounds of probability that the second colony was
-largely, if not entirely, composed of Munstermen.
-
-In 1622 many of the colonists were massacred by Indians, after which the
-remainder were ordered to abandon the outlying plantations and to
-concentrate their forces about the stronger ones. Gookin’s Irish
-settlement, which had been located near the mouth of the James River,
-back of Newport News, was one of those ordered to be abandoned, but he
-refused to obey the order, and, “gathering together his dependants, who
-by that time numbered only 35, he remained at his post, to his great
-credit and the content of his adventurers.” (Stith’s _History of
-Virginia_.)
-
-In 1637 Gookin received a grant of 2,500 acres of land in Upper Norfolk,
-now Nansemond County, and in 1642 he was appointed commander of the
-county. The court records show, under date of May 24, 1642, that “Daniel
-Gookin, late of Ireland,” was still a resident of Upper Norfolk County.
-His son, Daniel, left Virginia for Massachusetts, where he became
-superintendent of Indian Affairs, with the title of major-general. He
-was also the author of a history of the Indians. It is said that his
-descendants are now very numerous in the United States.
-
-Neill, in his _History of the English Colonization of America_, a most
-authoritative work, gives in full a sermon preached at Bowe Street
-Church in London in 1622, by a famous clergyman named Rev. Patrick
-Copland, who had been employed by the East India Company in Barbadoes.
-In this sermon he referred to “a fleete of nine sayle of ships that not
-one person out of 800 who had been transported out of England and
-Ireland for the plantations of Virginia, had met with any mishap by the
-way.”
-
-In a footnote to the remarks of the preacher, the historian in referring
-to the great exodus from Ireland to the American colonies, remarks that
-“Ireland has always been a hive from which America has derived sturdy
-hewers of wood to subdue the forests.” In 1622, Rev. Patrick Copland was
-appointed first president of the College of Virginia and general manager
-of all its properties. The college was founded by King James in 1622 and
-was established at Henrico City, fifteen miles below Richmond. (See _Old
-Churches and Families of Virginia_, by Bishop William Meade.)
-
-At this period there must have been a goodly number of Irish in
-Virginia, if we are to judge from the contents of a little book,
-“suitable for a projected school in Virginia,” prepared in 1621 by an
-English Puritan minister named John Brinsley. The book was intended as
-“a plea for learning and the school master.” The author stated that “the
-incivility among manie of the Irish, the Virginians, and all other
-barbarous nations” grew “from their exceeding ignorance of our Holy God
-and of all true and good learning.” On another page the author said it
-was his unfeigned desire to adapt the book “for all functions and
-places, and more particularly to every ruder place, and more especially
-to that poor Irish nation with our loving countrymen in Virginia.”
-
-How very solicitous he was for the “uncivil” Irish! To him, of course,
-they appeared rude and uncivil because they did not in those days speak
-in the English tongue, but in their own undefiled and mellifluous
-Gaelic. The book was presented by Brinsley “at a court held for Virginia
-on December 19, 1621,” on which occasion a committee was appointed to
-determine whether the book was suitable for distribution among the
-school children. This circumstance is related by the historian Neill.

-        WALSH’S IRISH REGIMENT OF MARINE ARTILLERY, FRENCH ARMY.
-
-
-           BY T. H. MURRAY, SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE SOCIETY.
-
-A few years ago there was issued from the government printing office at
-Washington, D. C., a volume entitled: _A Calendar of John Paul Jones
-Manuscripts in the Library of Congress_.
-
-The volume is of great interest, is arranged chronologically and
-contains 883 entries. Most of these mention letters written to and from
-Jones during the Revolution and cover a great deal of ground relating to
-that trying period. These records are very valuable.
-
-Frequent mention is made in them of Walsh’s Irish Regiment of Marine
-Artillery, French Army, and the Calendar, as published, also mentions
-other people of Irish birth or blood who took a prominent part in the
-struggle for American liberty. We extract from the book:
-
- 1779. Feb. 5 =Fitz-Maurice=, ——, Chevalier de. _A captain in Walsh’s Irish
-            regiment, French army._ “Quimper.” [Quimber, France.] Letter
-            to Capt. [John Paul] Johnes [Jones], L’Orient. Recommends
-            “Mr. [Edward] Stack a Lieutenant of this Regiment”, who
-            desires service under Jones; his abilities; recommends also
-            “Mr. [Eugene] Macarty” [Macarthy]; requests that information
-            be given “those Gentlemen” respecting their pay and prize
-            money; it is necessary for them to obtain leave from Court;
-            desires information regarding method of procedure.
-
- 1779. Mar. 1. =Fitz-Maurice=, ——, Chevalier de. _A captain in Walsh’s Irish
-            regiment, French army._ Quimper, [Quimber, France.] Letter
-            to Capt. [John Paul] Jones, [L’Orient]. Acknowledges receipt
-            of letter of 26th ult.; is pleased with success of his
-            journey to Paris; makes him his “most sincere compliments”
-            on his fine command [the _Bon Homme Richard_]; thanks him
-            for his offer to accompany him; only possible by order of
-            the King; “would cheerfully comply” with such orders if
-            given; “our Gentlemen desire their compliments to you.”
-
- 1779. Mar. 3. =Macarthy=, [Eugene.] _A lieutenant in Walsh’s Irish Regiment,
-            French army._ Quimper, [Quimber, France.] Letter to Capt.
-            [John Paul] Jones, L’Orient. Has heard that Jones has
-            received the command of a frigate of 40 guns [the _Bon Homme
-            Richard_] and that he desires officers; wishes to “make
-            a Campaigne * * * under command of a Gentleman who has
-            Distinguished himself by his Superior talents”; requests
-            information on all things relating to his purpose.
-
- 1779. Mar. — =Fitz-Maurice=, ——, Chevalier de. _A captain in Walsh’s
-            Irish regiment, French army._ “Quimper”, [France.] Letter
-            to [Capt. John Paul] Jones, L’Orient. Hopes he mentioned
-            “Lts. [Edward] Stack and [Eugene] Macarty” [Macarthy] only
-            in writing to Court; impossible for Fitz-Maurice himself
-            to accompany Jones; latter should have seen that “such
-            expeditions are not fitt for persons of my rank”; if Jones
-            has taken any steps relative to Fitz-Maurice joining him
-            hopes he will “countermand” them; requests information
-            respecting the “conditions, treatment &c.” which will be
-            given the “two Gentlemen” of whom he wrote. Endorsed by
-            Jones: * * * rec’d May 1st.
-
- 1779. May 20. =Fitz-Maurice=, ——, Chevalier de. _A captain in Walsh’s
-            Irish regiment, French army._ “Painbœuf,” [France.] Letter
-            to Capt. [John Paul] Jones, L’Orient. Acknowledges receipt
-            of letter of 1st inst.; considers Jones’s offer as a mark
-            of “favour and friendship”; regrets that Jones mistook the
-            “sense” of his letter [of March —, 1779]; regards the
-            offer [to take Fitz-Maurice on the _Bon Homme Richard_] in
-            a “most flattering light”; did not desire any steps taken
-            “opposite the Court” as he feared Col. [Francois Jacques
-            Comte] Walsh[-Serrant]’s opposition; it might serve as an
-            impediment to Fitz-Maurice’s future advancement. Addressed
-            care of [James] Moiland [Moylan].
-
- 1779. Jun. 14. =Walsh-Serrant=, [François Jacques,] Comte de. _Colonel of
-            the Irish regiment of marine artillery, French army._
-            Paimboeuf, [France.] Letter [to Capt. John Paul Jones,
-            Groaix]. Reputation of Jones in Walsh’s regiment is such
-            that [James Gerald] O’Kelly, sub-lieutenant of grenadiers,
-            wishes to join his two comrades [Edward] Stack and [Eugene]
-            Macarthy in serving under his command; feels it best that
-            O’Kelly should serve against the common foe wherever he
-            wishes; recommends him in the highest terms.
-
- 1779. Jun. 18. =Moylan=, J[ames.] _Merchant and United States commercial
-            agent at L’Orient._ L’Orient, [France.] Letter to [Capt.]
-            John P[aul] Jones, [Groaix]. Introduces “Mr. [James Gerald]
-            O’Kelly”; he has resigned from Walsh’s regiment in hopes of
-            “going under your orders”; has strong recommendations; “he
-            will cheerfully embrace” any vacancy on the “_Poor Richard_”
-            [_Bon Homme Richard_].
-
- 1779. Jun. 18. =Nesbitt=, Jonat[han.] _Banker, L’Orient._ L’Orient, [France.]
-            Letter to [Capt.] John P[aul] Jones [Groaix]. Introduces
-            “Mr. [James Gerald] O’Kelly, Lieutenant of Grenadiers in the
-            regt. of Walsh”; his recommendations; service to O’Kelly
-            will be regarded as a favor to himself.
-
- 1779. Oct. 21. =Stack of Crotts=, _A captain in Walsh’s Irish regiment,
-            French army_. “pinboeuf” [Paimboeuf, France.] Letter [to
-            Capt. John Paul Jones, The Texel, Holland]. Requests
-            information respecting [his son] Edmond [Edward?] Stack,
-            Lieut., Walsh’s Irish regiment; was appointed [Lt. Col. of
-            Marines] on the _Bon Homme Richard_; fears he is dead; if he
-            has served like a “gentleman and a Soldier I Shant half
-            regret his death”; “his loss will lie heavy ’pon me the rest
-            of my days.”
-
- 1779. Oct. 22. [=Stack=, Edward.] _A lieutenant in Walsh’s Irish Regiment,
-            French army, and formerly Volunteer on U. S. S. “Bon Homme
-            Richard.”_ The Texel, [Holland]. Affidavit respecting escape
-            of deserters. Escape on Oct. 1st? of twenty-six seamen from
-            the _Serapis_; with aid from the _Pallas_ sixteen men were
-            captured; five were drowned and five escaped; Capt. [Denis
-            Nicolas] Cottineau [de Kloguene] gave an account of this
-            occurrence to the Commandant of the Road of Texel [Commodore
-            —— Reimersima]. Attestation of “Lt. Col” [Antoine Felix]
-            Wiebert [Wybert], Richard Dale, Samuel Stacy, John Mayrant
-            and Beaumont Kroube [Groube], officers of the United States
-            squadron, that the above statement is correct and that the
-            deserters were enlisted and swore allegiance to the United
-            States.
-
- 1779. Nov. 25. =Walsh-Serrant=, [François Jacques,] Comte de. _Colonel of
-            the Irish regiment of marine artillery, French army._
-            Paris. Letter to [Edward] Stack, [The Texel?, Holland]. Has
-            received orders from the [French] Court for the embarkation
-            of the second battalion of his regiment for the Antilles;
-            impossible for him to remain with [Capt. John] Paul Jones;
-            hopes this order for his immediate return to his regiment
-            will reach him through [Paul François de Quélen,] Duc de La
-            Vauguyon; he has the thanks of the King [Louis XVI] for his
-            brave conduct while with Jones.
-
- 1785. Apr. 13. =Jones=, [John] Paul. _Capt., U. S. navy._ Paris. Certificate
-            to [Lieut.] Edward Stack. Gives an account of Stack’s
-            services on the _Bon Homme Richard_; with the consent
-            of [Benjamin] Franklin gave him a commission of brevet
-            lieutenant of marines in the U. S. navy; on being ordered to
-            the West Indies in Nov. 1779 Stack received from Louis XVI a
-            commission of captain and a reward of 400 livres; now wishes
-            to join the Society of the Cincinnati; Jones has no doubt
-            that he merits the honor; considers that “a similar opinion”
-            from Comte d’Estaign, Comte de Rochambeau, Marquis de
-            Lafayette, Marquis de Saint Simon and Col. Humphreys “at the
-            foot hereof” with the payment of a months wages into the
-            charitable fund of the Society will give him standing in
-            America as a member.
-
- 1785. Apr. 17. =Macarthy=, [Eugene.] _A Captain in Walsh’s Irish regiment,
-            French army._ Paris. Certificate regarding “Commodore”
-            [Capt. John] Paul Jones. Certifies that at the time of the
-            action between the _Serapis_ and the _Bon Homme Richard_ the
-            latter vessel was rendered unseaworthy; on deciding to
-            abandon her the care incidental to transporting the wounded
-            to the _Serapis_ prevented Jones from saving his personal
-            effects or those of the crew.
-
- 1785. Apr. 19. =Stack=, [Edward.] _A Captain in Walsh’s Irish regiment,
-            French army._ Paris. Certificate regarding [Capt. John] Paul
-            Jones. Certifies that neither Jones nor his crew were able
-            to save their personal effects after the engagement between
-            the _Bon Homme Richard_ and the _Serapis_.
-
-One battalion of the Regiment of Walsh fought at Savannah. The rest of
-the command also rendered valiant service during the war, as did
-likewise the Regiment of Dillon. The following general extracts are also
-from the John Paul Jones papers:
-
- 1776. Nov. 3. =Gallagher=, Bernard. _Midshipman, U. S. brig “Providence.”_
-            Boston. Letter to Capt. John [Paul] Jones, Philadelphia.
-            Taken prisoner by the _Gen. Gates_, Capt. William Kilton,
-            and carried into Canser [Canso, Nova Scotia]; attempted to
-            escape but was captured and put in irons by Capt. [ ]
-            Dawson; owing to representations of Capt. [ ] Dory was

-                NEHEMIAH WALTER, BORN IN IRELAND, 1663.
-
-
-At a meeting of the Cambridge (Mass.) Historical Society held in
-Cambridge in 1906, a paper was read by William Coolidge Lane, Esq., in
-which he devoted some attention to the career of Nehemiah Walter. The
-matter is of so interesting a nature that we here reproduce a portion of
-the paper, the title of which is “The Nehemiah Walter Elegy on Elijah
-Corlet.” Walter was born in Ireland in 1663 and came to New England in
-1679. Mr. Lane tells us that he became a minister highly esteemed here.
-
-At the age of thirteen he is said to have readily conversed in Latin. He
-had been apprenticed to an upholsterer in 1674, but it was found that
-his tastes were altogether literary. After coming to this country, he
-was at first placed under Ezekiel Cheever, the Boston schoolmaster, but
-entered college almost immediately, in 1680. He was butler in 1683, and
-graduated in 1684. Soon after, he made a voyage to Nova Scotia, where he
-became proficient in French, but returned to study in Cambridge, and was
-often employed by Corlet as his assistant. “It reflected a luster on his
-character that the memorable Mr. Elijah Corlet, master of the Grammar
-School in Cambridge, used to express a distinguishing value for him by
-employing him to officiate at times in the care of his school when
-obliged to be absent himself, always esteeming his place well supplied
-by Mr. Walter, and fully confiding in his skill, prudence and
-diligence.”
-
-The Elegy was composed when he was but three years out of college, and
-was still studying for the ministry in Cambridge. In 1688 he was
-ordained as a colleague with John Eliot in Roxbury, Mass., then 84 years
-old. His people in Roxbury, and Eliot himself, showed a deep affection
-for him, and the liveliest satisfaction at having secured him for their
-minister. Walter continued as the minister of the church in Roxbury up
-to 1750, so that his ministry and Eliot’s together covered a period of
-one hundred and eighteen years. He was for many years a member of the
-corporation of Harvard College, and sided with Increase Mather, his
-father-in-law. After Mather’s exclusion from the presidency, he attended
-no more meetings of the corporation, and was considered to have
-abdicated his office.

-               IRISH INFLUENCE IN THE LIFE OF BALTIMORE.
-
-
-                   BY D. J. SCULLY OF BALTIMORE, MD.
-
-It is a peculiar thing to study out fairly, even without setting down
-aught except that which can be actually proved, what an important part
-Irishmen have taken in shaping this Irish-named city which in the
-estimation of those who do not stop to think, is deemed an “Anglo-Saxon”
-community. This phrase, Anglo-Saxon, is now the thing, especially among
-some educators. It is a handy phrase. It may mean something, but as
-often means nothing in particular.
-
-It is like the stuff coined at trial tables, such as “brain-storms” and
-“Dementia Americana,” sufficient for the atmosphere of a courtroom, but
-no where else on earth, where common sense is supposed to prevail. Hence
-the delicious and unmeaning phrase, “Anglo-Saxon” this and “Anglo-Saxon”
-that, as used by the educated few, to mislead the so-called uneducated
-many. It is naturally a bold man who would call an Irishman an
-Anglo-Saxon to his face, but the average American educationalist and
-writer does not make such statements to the Gael in propria persona.
-
-He does it at long range, and hides behind his school book and his
-inkwell until the storm has passed by. The Irish who have influenced and
-who have directed in many ways the past of Baltimore laid no claim to be
-Anglo-Saxons and no one in their day sought to claim them as such. They
-were rather proud of their Irish birth and descent and made no effort to
-hide it. But it was a fact that it was no shame in those days to be
-Irish, and nobody thought so, not even the English.
-
-If it had been so awful to be Irish, no doubt the early settlers and
-founders of the city would have never allowed it to be named Baltimore.
-Prior to the Revolution the most important merchants and educators, and
-even professional men in the town, were Irish by birth. They laid the
-foundation of the town’s trade and commerce and built it up not only
-morally and physically, but financially. The man who laid the foundation
-of the town’s trade was Dr. John Stevenson, who, although a physician,
-had an eye to trade, and coming direct from Ireland deemed it wise to
-establish a line of ships between this city and Irish ports.
-
-This was the beginning of Baltimore’s commerce, which for nearly
-seventy-five years after Stevenson’s pioneer line was established,
-almost rivalled New York’s commerce in general, and in many ways
-excelled it. This will be refreshing news to many, but is not by any
-means overdrawn. The work done by Stevenson in establishing trade for
-Baltimore was continued by the Purviances, William Patterson, Bowly,
-John O’Donnell, John Smith, William Smith, William McDonald, Robert and
-John Oliver, Wm. Wilson, Talbott Jones, Isaac McKim, Robert Garrett,
-Luke Tiernan, Cumberland Dugan, David Stewart, Stephen Stewart, James
-Calhoun, John Sterrett, John McLure, Thomas Russell, Samuel Hughes,
-William Neill, Hugh Young, Patrick Colvin, Alexander Pendergast, Patrick
-Bennett, Robert Welsh, Mark Pringle, William Kennedy, James O. Law, Hugh
-McElderry, Charles M. Dougherty, William Walters, John McCoy, D. J.
-Foley, Hamilton Easter, Robert Neale, Hugh Birchhead, John Coulter, and
-others, who, from time to time, have figured prominently in the shipping
-and commercial annals of Baltimore.
-
-Many of these men were not only the pioneers, but the leaders for years
-in the matters which concerned the carrying trade of Baltimore and also
-in the business concerns of the town and city. Their names are so
-closely associated with the history of Baltimore for the first hundred
-years of her history at least that it is impossible to disconnect them.
-They were honest merchants of the old school and their methods were
-direct and above suspicion. They laid the foundation of Baltimore’s
-reputation for business honesty. Their trade was with the East and West
-Indies, with South America and with Europe. Their white-winged clippers
-sailed every known sea, and their house flags were known in every
-country, aye, even by the savage African.
-
-It is highly interesting to trace the rise and rule of these expatriated
-Irish merchants who came to Baltimore, many of them with money and
-business experience, driven from Ireland by England’s unjust tariff
-laws, the same in character as those which now apply to our
-“possessions,” Porto Rico and the Philippines, to “encourage” their
-trade and commerce. These men hated England as strongly as they loved
-fair play. They waxed rich and placed everything they had at the
-services of their fellow citizens and of their country. They were well
-aware of England’s hypocritical methods and thus when the Revolution
-came on they cast their fortunes to a man with the colonies, and gave of
-their blood, their experience and their means to assist the patriots.
-
-During the Revolution, in Baltimore and Maryland they were prominent in
-all works of importance. Thus we see Samuel Purviance, the chief man of
-the town; Purviance was a leading merchant. He was chairman of the
-Committee on Correspondence, a sort of Ways and Means Committee, and as
-such he raised supplies for the patriotic cause and supervised methods
-of defense. His services to the patriot cause were vast, and he was
-frequently complimented by Washington and the Continental Congress for
-his services. He was largely instrumental in helping Lafayette to clothe
-his half-starved and half-clothed army when on its way to the South to
-prosecute that historic campaign which ended in the surrender of
-Cornwallis at Yorktown.
-
-Thus he played a prominent part in one of the historic events in
-history, and considering the present status of this republic, the most
-momentous campaign in history. The Irish merchants who contributed to
-this fund to buy cloth and make uniforms for Lafayette’s ragged army
-were Messrs. Purviance, William Patterson, John McLure, Daniel Bowly,
-Ridgely and Pringle, James Calhoun, James McHenry, Charles Carroll, Wm.
-Smith, Alex. Donaldson, Samuel Hughes, Russell & Hughes, William Neill,
-John Smith, William Smith, Hugh Young and Robert Patter Purviance.
-William Smith and William Patterson and other Irish merchants were also
-prominent in the committee work during the Revolution, and if it had
-failed, would have no doubt decorated the short end of a hangman’s rope
-for their love of liberty. The services of Charles Carroll of Carrollton
-and of his cousin, Charles Carroll, of Mount Clare, to the patriot cause
-and to the city and state, even the nation, it is needless to recount
-here, as they are well known.
-
-They were Irish-Americans, however, and not ashamed of it, and their
-influence in the city and its environs were considerable along all
-lines. William Patterson gave Patterson Park to the city, and also
-contributed largely to the foundation of many public enterprises, some
-of which survive today as monuments to the activities of himself and his
-fellow Irishmen. Prime among those monuments is the Baltimore and Ohio
-Railroad. Isaac McKim, another Irishman, founded the first free school
-set up in Baltimore. It still stands at Baltimore and Aisquith streets a
-monument to him, and has been in its day a strong sphere of influence.
-John Oliver, another Gael, founded the Oliver Hibernian Free School,
-which has been for nearly a century a wide center of influence for good.
-It was the first school established in the United States for the
-exclusive education of Irish-Americans, and was established at a time
-when Americans of other races were without free schools of any kind.
-Prominent in the establishment of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and of
-the Northern Central Railroad were other Irish merchants and
-professional men, such as Robert Garrett, Alexander and George Brown,
-the latter of whom conceived the idea of building the road; Isaac McKim,
-Charles Carroll of Carrollton, John V. L. McMahon, the Irish American
-lawyer, who drew that first railroad charter ever drawn for the
-Baltimore and Ohio, which has served as a model ever since; Patrick
-McCauley, the Irish educator; Talbott Jones, Robert Oliver and others.
-These men gave not only their influence to these roads, but their money.
-How well they built, facts establish. John O’Donnell, the Irishman, was
-the man who named Canton, on the southeast side of the basin, because he
-thought it looked like Canton, China; and he was the first president of
-the Baltimore Gas Light Company. What that company has developed into
-the present shows. His son, Gen. Columbus O’Donnell, was for many years
-the honored president of the company.
-
-Gen. Wm. McDonald was the first man to run packets on the Chesapeake
-Bay, and also the first to run steam vessels. And thus he was the
-founder of Baltimore’s great bay trade. That he was a man of influence
-the conditions of the present prove. He may have builded better than he
-knew, but he built greatly. Alexander Brown, Robert Garrett and Isaac
-McKim were practically the founders of the banking business of this
-city, and with others of the great Irish business men influenced the
-financial interests of Baltimore for many years. In fact, their
-descendants have a powerful influence in banking matters locally at this
-time. Every one is familiar with the tremendous influence exercised in
-railroad circles for many years by the Irish-American, John W. Garrett,
-and his son, Robert Garrett. There can be no question about those facts.
-
-In the religious concerns of the city the Irish have ever played an
-important part. The city is the seat of the Roman Catholic church in
-this country, the first bishop and archbishop of which was John Carroll,
-an Irish-American. Since his day the Irish have been in the forefront in
-Catholic affairs in Baltimore, and the pewholders and attendants at the
-Cathedral and other Catholic churches have included many of Baltimore’s
-leading citizens. St. Mary’s Seminary has educated hundreds of Catholic
-priests who have gone out and labored for the salvation of souls. Of
-these Levites the great and almost overwhelming majority have been
-Irish-Americans.
-
-Many of these good men have spent their lives in this city and have
-proven great sources of influence for upliftment to their fellowmen. The
-Irish names of the priests and bishops who have labored here in
-Baltimore would make a respectable directory for information on the
-municipality’s work for the betterment of men. Many will recall the
-names of the saintly McColgan, Dolan, McManus, Coskery, Slattery, McCoy,
-Dougherty, Malloy, Dugan, Gaitley, McDevitt, and many others of equal
-note who have served prominently in this city and have been towers of
-strength to their co-religionists. The stature of Archbishop Carroll in
-his day was heroic, and he was regarded as one of the chief citizens of
-the republic, as his famous successor, Cardinal Gibbons, is today.
-
-The similarity between Dr. Carroll and the cardinal on the lines of
-personal influence is remarkable. What Dr. Carroll was in his day a
-century ago, the cardinal is today, and the person who is familiar with
-the cardinal’s character knows what power and inspiration that is for
-good. Other prelates who were of Irish extraction and who labored here
-were Archbishops Neale and the illustrious Kenrick, the latter one of
-the greatest of church writers and a strong man of his day. In other
-denominations we have Dr. Patrick Allison, the first pastor of the First
-Presbyterian Church, and a remarkable man in many ways, who was the
-friend of Dr. Carroll, and his contemporary. Rev. John Glendy, a native
-of Ireland, who was a rebel in 1798, and had to fly for his life to this
-country, was the first pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, and an
-orator of unusual ability. In their day they were strong men, and
-exercised an overmastering influence for good upon their flocks. Rev.
-John Healey was the first Baptist minister in Baltimore town, and
-founded the first Baptist chapel. He ministered here for many years and
-was without doubt an influential man. The congregations of the
-Presbyterian and Baptist churches included a number of prominent Irish
-business and professional men, in fact the cream of the business men of
-the town and city belonged to them. Hence they were widespread centers
-of influence and they have so remained.
-
-Their descendants to this day include many of Baltimore’s leading
-citizens in all lines of activity. The first Methodist preacher that we
-know of who preached in the vicinity of this city was Robert
-Strawbridge, the Irishman. He preached about the countryside, it being
-as much a felony for a Methodist preacher to preach as it was for a
-Catholic priest to say mass in his day in Maryland. We know that there
-were several well-known Irishmen who were among the first members of the
-first M. E. church, old Light Street, now Mount Vernon Place Church;
-among them being Patrick Colvin and Patrick Bennett. This Colvin
-afterwards was buried from the old Light Street church, which caught
-fire during his funeral, and was burned to the ground. His daughter
-founded the old Colvin Institute in his honor, and Colvin Street is
-named after him. He was an influential merchant as well as a leading
-Methodist.
-
-The first mayor of the city, James Calhoun, was an Irish-American. The
-first secretary of the navy from Maryland was an Irishman, James
-McHenry, after whom the fort is named. It is well to remark that Fort
-Carroll is also named after Charles Carroll, the Irish-American. The
-first secretary of state and attorney-general from Maryland was Robert
-Smith, son of John Smith, the Irishman. Gen. Samuel Smith, the
-Revolutionary hero, who served more years than any other from this state
-in the United States Senate, also commanded the forces at the battle of
-North Point and the defense of Fort McHenry. The first and only chief
-justice of the United States from Maryland was Roger Brooke Taney, the
-Irish-American, who was also an attorney-general of the United States.
-One of the two secretaries of the navy from this state was John
-Pendleton Kennedy, the Irish-American. All of these facts serve to show
-that the Irish have played some part in public affairs in this city and
-state.
-
-Past and present, the Irish element has been so closely identified with
-the history of Baltimore that it has played an important part in
-influencing every detail of the life of the city. Deny it as some will,
-the influence is still apparent in the city’s spheres, probably not so
-prominently as in the long ago, but still markedly. Prosperity has
-somewhat dulled the ambition of the local Gael, but that he is still in
-evidence, commercially, religiously, professionally, socially and
-industrially, the shallowest of investigations will prove. The readiness
-of the Irishman to assimilate with other nationalities in our country
-may have had something to do with the disappearance from the prominent
-places which they formerly occupied of the leading families of the city
-who bear the names of the splendid men who at one time led in the city’s
-advance. But considerable of the wealth and the influence of the city is
-still held by the descendants of these old pioneers, and by those who
-have succeeded them in the life of the City of the Calverts.

-
-
-Extract from an address by Prof. Charles Eliot Norton at a meeting of
-the Cambridge (Mass.) Historical Society, October 30, 1905: “But even a
-greater change than that from country village to suburban town has taken
-place here in Old Cambridge in the last seventy years. The people have
-changed. In my boyhood the population was practically all of New England
-origin, and in large proportion Cambridge-born, and inheritors of Old
-Cambridge traditions. The fruitful invasion of barbarians had not begun.
-The foreign-born people could be counted up on the fingers. There was
-Rule, the excellent Scotch gardener, who was not without points of
-resemblance to Andrew Fairservice; there was Sweetman, the one Irish
-day-laborer, faithful and intelligent, trained as a boy in one of the
-‘hedge-schools’ of his native Ireland, and ready to lean on his spade
-and put the troublesome schoolboy to a test on the Odes of Horace, or
-even on the _Arma virumque cano_; and at the heart of the village was
-the hair-cutter, Marcus Reamie, from some unknown foreign land, with his
-shop full, in a boy’s eyes, of treasures, some of his own collecting,
-some of them brought from distant romantic parts of the world by his
-sailor son. There were doubtless other foreigners, but I do not recall
-them, except a few teachers of languages in the college, of whom three
-filled in these and later years an important place in the life of the
-town,—Dr. Beck, Dr. Follen and Mr. Sales.”

-
-There was considerable popular opposition manifested [in New York City
-in 1829 and thereabouts] to the change of the cemetery from about St.
-Patrick’s to the Fifth Avenue, or Middle Road, as it was then called,
-site. In the [N. Y.] _Truth Teller_ appears the following:

-
-  “SIR: The subject of procuring a suitable place for a general Catholic
-  burial ground in this city has, for a long time, excited a deep
-  interest among us. I beg leave, therefore, to suggest a few remarks on
-  the best method to be adopted for the accomplishment of so desirable
-  an object, before any definite measures are taken for a permanent
-  location.
-
-  “It appears by a hand-bill circulated a few days ago, that the
-  trustees of St. Patrick’s Church, without consulting the Catholics of
-  this city, have bought a tract of land opposite the Botanic Garden, a
-  distance of between four and five miles from the city hall; that the
-  nature of the soil is entirely unfit for the said purpose; and that
-  this place has been actually appropriated by them for a general
-  Catholic burial ground.
-
-  “Query? Have the trustees of that church or any of the other Catholic
-  churches in this city the right to act definitely upon this general
-  subject without previously ascertaining the opinion and obtaining the
-  consent of the heads of families belonging to this Catholic community?

-
-  “This question ought to be fairly discussed before any final decision
-  is made on the location of the contemplated cemetery; and I hope the
-  columns of your widely circulated paper will be always open for the
-  discussion of this point of general interest.
-
-  “This affair, in the humble opinion of the writer, ought to be managed
-  by a separate board, composed of the Right Rev. Bishop of the diocese
-  and two members from each congregation, duly elected by the pewholders
-  of the several Catholic churches of this city, with power to select
-  the ground, the location, to make regulations, etc., etc. This

-  Catholics of this city (who have very liberally contributed to the
-  support of their several churches and charitable institutions)
-  respecting this interesting question which agitates their minds.

-
-  “And a Catholic resident of the city of New York.”
-
-At the meeting of the trustees on March 6, 1833, every member present
-pledged himself to use his utmost endeavor “in finding and prosecuting
-the invaders of the vault out of town,” which seems to indicate that the
-opposition to the up-town movement had taken a very radical turn.
-Previous to this, however, the idea of locating the graveyard there was
-abandoned, and on August 29, 1832, a committee of five trustees
-appointed to provide “a good and convenient location for a new
-graveyard,” paid $37,050 to Alderman Charles Henry Hall for the block
-bounded by East Eleventh and Twelfth streets, First Avenue and Avenue A.
-
-It is related that Mr. Hall soon after repented of his bargain and
-offered to pay $50,000 if the block were deeded back to him. The offer
-was refused, but 100 feet in depth on three sides of the plot was sold
-to lighten the debt and the rest of the land, 413x206 feet, was devoted
-to cemetery purposes. Permission for the first interment was given on
-March 13, 1833, and from that date until the old Eleventh Street burial
-ground was officially closed in August, 1848, the total number of
-interments made in its limits was 41,016. As has been stated, the
-interments in St. Patrick’s graveyard, from May 25, 1813, to March,
-1833, were 32,153, so that in these two old downtown graveyards in
-thirty-five years, a total of 73,169 Catholics were buried. These
-figures are taken from Archbishop Corrigan’s paper on “The Catholic
-Cemeteries of New York” and are therefore official. The Avenue A end of
-the Eleventh Street plot was originally a hollow and had to be filled in
-about eighteen feet above the level at the time of its purchase.
-
-There was a wooden fence around the property at first and this was
-replaced by the iron railing that now encloses it. The high brick wall
-around St. Patrick’s was put up just before the anti-Catholic excitement
-of 1836 and served as a protection to the old church that largely
-helped, when manned by stout defenders, to awe the mob that assembled to
-plunder and destroy it. In the same year, June 5, 1836, it was
-determined to rebuild St. Peter’s Church in Barclay Street. The graves
-in the little space about the church were opened and most of the remains
-reinterred in St. Patrick’s graveyard. Some of the pioneers were left
-undisturbed and still repose under the walls of the new church built
-over the old site.
-
-The dead who sleep about the walls of old St. Patrick’s made up the very
-flower of the pioneer families, mainly Irish, who built up the church in
-New York. Among the long list are the first pastors and their
-assistants, Fathers Michael O’Gorman, Richard Bulger, Charles Brennan
-and Peter Malou—who was a general in the Belgium army and then a Jesuit.
-One of his sons became a bishop in his native land—Fathers Luke Berry,
-of St. Mary’s; Gregory B. Pardow, an uncle of the Jesuit of our day;
-James Neale, Carberry J. Byrne, Thomas C. Levins, John N. Smith of St.
-James’ and Dr. John Power, V. G. The remains of the bishops of the See,
-except the first, were transferred from old St. Patrick’s to the crypt
-of the Fifth Avenue Cathedral after it was opened.
-
-The parents of Cardinal McCloskey were buried in old St. Patrick’s and
-so were a son of the famous French general, Moreau, Capt. Pierre
-Laudais, of the navy, who fought with Paul Jones in the Revolution;
-Thomas, the father of the great lawyer, Charles O’Conor; Thomas S.
-Brady, father of James T. and Judge John R. Brady; Capt. James McKeon,
-of the army in 1812 and father of John McKeon; Andrew Morris, Stephen
-Jumel, Dominick Lynch and his numerous children; John B. Lasala, the
-Denmans, the Hargous, Binsse, Coughlan, Brandegee, De Londe, Shea,
-O’Brien and other prominent old New York families.
-
-In the Eleventh Street graveyard the 41,016 dead are of a later period,
-but include many names of special local interest on the old stones, such
-as the Murphy, Lynch, Carroll, Hanly, Sweeney, Bradley, Davey, McMahon,
-Holahan, and other families. A local character, who died September 26,
-1838, and was buried here, was an Italian named Joseph Bonfanti, who
-kept what might be called the first “department store” in New York. It
-was located at 297 Broadway, and it was his boast that no one could go
-into his store and ask for anything in fancy articles he could not
-produce for sale. He advertised in rhymes and some of the efforts in
-this direction are wonderful productions. Local fame had it that he kept
-poets on salary to supply his needs in this direction. His tombstone
-told that he was born in Monticello, December 9, 1798, was “universally
-esteemed as an affectionate husband, a kind father and a sincere
-friend,” and that,—
-
-         “Cheerful he journeyed through life’s chequered wild,
-         Honest, sincere, benevolent, mild.
-         As husband, father, friend, fulfilled his part,
-         Affection’s smile the sunshine of his heart.”
-
-Capt. John McMahon had a monument erected to him by the Montgomery
-Guards, of whom he was commander. He was a native of Limerick, Ireland,
-and died aged 37 years on April 17, 1849.
-
-Another epitaph was as follows:
-
-  “This tomb was erected by Rosanna, widow of John Connolly, Jr.,
-  carpenter, of Gargin, parish of Killaly, County of Galway, Ireland, in
-  memory of the most affectionate of husbands, who died in New York on
-  the 6th day of March, 1841, aged —— years; as also her daughter Mary,
-  who died on the 10th of August, 18—, aged —— months, as also her son,
-  Michael, who died on the 1st of August, 1840, aged —— months.
-
-  “This stone has been sent her by her father-in-law as a token of
-  respect for her and love for his son John, her husband. May their
-  souls rest in peace.
-
-  “Dated Galway, Ireland, 1846. This stone has been sent her by her
-  father-in-law, Michael Connolly.”
-
-The stone to the memory of James, son of Denis and Winifred Hanley, who
-died November 28, 1839, gave this advice:
-
-                   “Weep not for me, my parents dear,
-                   I am not dead but sleepeth here.
-                   As I am now so you will be;
-                   Prepare for death and follow me.”
-
-On October 29, 1845, the Alsop farm of about 115 acres in Newtown, Long
-Island, was purchased for a new place of burial, and at a special
-meeting of the trustees of St. Patrick’s on July 31, 1848, it was
-ordered that “the cemetery at Newtown Creek, recently consecrated in
-part should be called Calvary, and placed at the disposal of the public;
-that after August 2 the Eleventh Street burial ground as well as the
-free vault at Fiftieth Street, should be permanently closed.” Calvary
-Cemetery began to be used August 4, 1848, when the first interment, that
-of Esther Ennis, was made. Subsequent purchases of land made the
-territory consecrated to the burial of the dead more than 300 acres.
-From August, 1848, to January, 1898, there were 644,761 interments
-there.
-
-From January, 1898, to the present, there have been about 200,000
-interments, thus making in round numbers 850,000 interments in all so
-far at Calvary Cemetery.

-                    BY THOMAS ACKLAND, BOSTON, MASS.
-
-I am going to unfold for you a chapter of unwritten history; to tell you
-in a brief way the story of the part played by men of Erin in the early
-life of this city—from the time of its settlement in the year 1630 down
-to the opening of the Revolution.
-
-Historical works do not touch the narrative, Cullen’s _Story of the
-Irish in Boston_ excepted. Yet even that, admirable as it is and much as
-it contains, falls far short of giving a complete account. I know not
-the reasons for this inexcusable neglect of historians, but I have my
-opinions on the matter.
-
-The story should have been written for two reasons at least; (1) because
-the Irish were here in large numbers at the period of which I am
-treating; and (2) they rendered important services to the community.

-
-This paper will develop some interesting and striking facts concerning
-the early history of Boston, and to Americans of Irish blood, unless
-they be students of colonial history, it would prove a revelation were
-they to read it. You will see from this narrative that the Irish of
-those by-gone days were not all hewers of wood and drawers of water,
-despite the tremendous handicaps of racial and religious hostility and
-the disproportion of the numbers in comparison to the English.
-
-On the contrary, some of them shone as patriots and statesmen; in the
-fields of art and invention; and in various ways of lesser importance
-there were many whose names deserve recording in a discourse of this
-nature.
-
-Some years ago I became interested in a letter which appeared in one of
-our daily papers containing a few facts about the pioneer store-keeper
-of Boston—the first person to start a business here and thus earn for
-himself the title of “The Father of Boston Merchants.” The reason for my
-interest lay in the fact that he was an Irishman. His name was John
-Cogan.
-
-Histories of Boston and the chapters on colonial Boston in the histories
-of the United States, as might be expected, both ignore the story of
-John Cogan, and you would search the city in vain were you looking for a
-memorial of any sort to him. Neither is there tablet nor memorial of any
-sort marking the site of that humble little shop, which was the first
-link of the great chain of mercantile establishments which have followed
-in its wake. Historical spots of even less interest are, and properly,
-suitably marked, but for some reason the site of Boston’s first place of
-business has been ignored by our municipal authorities and historical
-societies.
-
-I determined to try to rescue John Cogan’s name from the practical
-oblivion which enshrouded it and discover details of his career
-sufficient for a newspaper or magazine article. My researches into the
-musty records of the past were well rewarded and my discoveries I hope
-to give the public through some reputable magazine or journal in the
-near future.
-
-It was while engaged in this long and laborious work that I discovered a
-new vein, as it were, in Boston’s history, and following it up I found
-much of the material which goes to make up this paper and which
-suggested its preparation.
-
-Had it been our good fortune to have had a directory containing the
-names of the residents of Boston each year since its settlement we would
-have found in every one of those works, with perhaps the exception of
-the first two, Keltic names, and in the entire period of which I treat
-some thousands of them.
-
-Undoubtedly these statements surprise you. Naturally. Yet I could easily
-make them good. And furthermore I believe it to be quite likely that if
-we made a careful research among the names of the Kelts in colonial
-Boston that we could easily duplicate ten per cent or more of those
-borne by readers of this article.
-
-Of the thousands of these names I have compiled I select a few for
-illustration—Blake, Barrett, Boyce, Bryan, Bishop, Boyle and Burk;
-Collins, Carey, Connell, Conner, Casey and Cunningham; Drury and
-Downing; Flannagan; Griffin; Healy, Hart, Harkins and Hurley; Kennedy;
-Lynch and Lane; Murphy, Moore, Martin, Mackey and McLean; Norton and
-Neale; Power and Powell; Strain; Timmins; Welch.
-
-The children of Erin began coming here from practically the foundation
-of Boston. As Cullen says: “English of all things, it (Boston) was of
-necessity anti-Irish, and classed this unfortunate people with the
-heathen tribes of the forest; yet, among her earliest records appears
-the distinctively Irish names of Cogan, Barry, Connors, MacCarty, Kelly;
-throughout her colonial history, when the wild Irish, the Pope, the
-Devil and the Pretender were classed together and hated in the lump, the
-Irish were in their midst, though Irish Catholicity remained till near
-the Revolution almost unrepresented.”
-
-Yet this fact is disputed. One well known newspaper writer of Boston, an
-Irishman, too, declares: “It is quite safe to say that there were no
-Irish at that time (1630) among the settlers.”
-
-Now that assertion may or may not be true. But I would say in reply to
-it that if the Irish were not here as early as 1630 there was at least
-one representative of the race in the colony in 1632[4] and another in
-1634[5], both prominent, too, by the way, and Irish have been here ever
-since.
-
-Footnote 4:
-
-  John Cogan, already alluded to.
-
-Footnote 5:
-
-  William Hibbens.
-
-The gentleman referred to also says: “Up to that time (1647) there was
-practically no infusion of Irish blood in New England.” In reply to that
-I would answer that if the other large centers of New England had as
-many Kelts as did Boston up to and including 1647—and I would not be
-surprised if they had—this gentleman’s statement would stand disproved.
-
-Under Cromwell’s government many Irish people were sent to New England.
-On their arrival they were sold as servants or slaves by those at whose
-charge they were brought here. This slavery, however, was only
-temporary, and generally for a period of four years. It was distinctly
-understood that this service of the Irish was to be in direct payment
-for the trouble and expense of transporting them.
-
-The men of Irish blood were not prominent in the early story of the
-colony, with a few exceptions. But that was neither their fault nor to
-their discredit. The reasons for this were in brief the racial antipathy
-on the part of the colonists; their hatred of the religion professed by
-the mass of the Kelts; the social ostracism of the English toward the
-children of Erin; the legislation in Ireland which forced the natives
-into, and kept them in, ignorance from an educational standpoint; their
-poverty, another heritage of England’s misrule of their country and the
-smallness of their numbers in comparison with the English settlers.
-
-But time works wonders and brings its revenges! The erstwhile tiny
-English and Puritan colony has become a great city, one of the greatest
-in America, in fact, and the stronghold of the Catholic and Kelt. Only
-the other day it was governed by a man of that faith and blood, and he
-was the successor of four other mayors born in Ireland or descended from
-Irish people, while the majority of the leading city officials were of
-the same class.
-
-In the professions and business life also men of Irish blood are making
-a good showing here. And as to religion, our clergy of Keltic blood
-outnumber those of all other nationalities and so do they all the
-non-Catholic ministers combined.
-
-I know you will be now interested to hear of John Cogan, to whom I
-referred in the beginning of this paper. For a quarter of a century he
-was prominently identified with the colony—from 1632 until his death in
-1658. He probably came from Cork. The late John B. Reagan, of
-Dorchester, noted for his historical research regarding the Irish in
-America, said of the first of Boston’s Keltic citizens: “Among those who
-came over in the so-called Winthrop fleet, composed of ‘people from all
-parts,’ were several merchants from the maritime ports of Ireland, of
-whom John Cogan was one.”
-
-In my researches for details of Cogan’s career I found this reference to
-him, from Lechford’s Notebook: “Whether John Cogan, of Boston, Mass.,
-was related to this family (the Cogans of Chard, Eng.,) or not I do not
-know. He appears to have been from Devonshire, as in 1639 he gave Isaac
-Northcut, of Honiton, a power of attorney to receive any legacy under
-the will of his mother, Eleanor Cogan, of Tiverton, in Devon.” Still,
-this would not prove that Cogan was English, as thousands of Irish have
-settled in England from an early period.
-
-Cogan was virtually one of the founders of Boston, one of its leading
-citizens, one of its wealthiest and most enterprising, and a pillar and
-one of the founders of the First Church. And I am glad to say that the
-colonists were sensible enough to so far overcome their prejudices as to
-appreciate what sort of man he was, for they honored him with numerous
-public offices and positions of trust.
-
-He was a member of the first board of selectmen and served in that
-capacity for a long time; a juror in the Court of Assistants; one of a
-committee to allot land for the inhabitants to plant on and of another
-committee to allot land on the Neck and in East Boston; one of a
-committee to erect fortifications on Fort Hill and its treasurer; a
-member of the grand jury; a surveyor of the highways; a constable. The
-full list of offices he held would be too long to give here.
-
-He opened the first store in 1633 or 1634. It stood on Washington Street
-opposite the Old State House, on the northeast corner. Colonial records
-fail to state what class of goods our pioneer store-keeper dealt in, or
-how long he conducted his shop, or whether he made it a success, which I
-venture to predict, in view of his career, he did.
-
-He proved himself a shrewd and energetic business man and became wealthy
-for the times in which he lived. He was the proprietor of a large amount
-of real estate, including two stores and half an acre of land, which is
-now covered by the store of Houghton & Dutton, and corn mills in
-Charlestown and Malden.
-
-He was one of the builders of Long wharf, the oldest in Boston and the
-one with the most interesting history. He served as sergeant in that
-organization of, as somebody has facetiously dubbed them, “bottle-scared
-veterans,” the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company.
-
-Among his benefactions was a gift of 70 acres to Harvard College. I
-might state in passing that Cogan was one of the settlers of Dorchester,
-which colony was founded in the same year as was Boston, 1630, and lived
-there until his removal here in 1632.
-
-Some few weeks ago the daily papers chronicled the death of the oldest
-alumnus of Harvard College and Boston’s oldest attorney. This was
-Charles A. Welch of Cohasset, Mass. Welch was the descendant of John
-Welch, who was recorded in Boston as a tax-payer as early as 1682, and
-who wedded Elizabeth White. The distinguished lawyer had as his great
-grandfather John Welch, who served as commander of the Ancient and
-Honorable Artillery Company, while the father of the lawyer was a noted
-wood carver and made the famous codfish which adorns the State House and
-also the great figure-head of Andrew Jackson which ornamented the bow of
-the American frigate _Constitution_.
-
-Another descendant of this John Welch of colonial Boston, and brother of
-the lawyer, was Edward H. Welch, who had the happiness not only of
-returning to the church of his ancestors, but also of becoming a member
-of the Society of Jesus. The lawyer and priest numbered among their
-cousins the present Episcopalian Bishop of Fond du Lac, the Right
-Reverend Charles C. Grafton; and Mrs. Abbott, wife of the late Judge
-Abbott. In a word, John Welch of colonial Boston was the progenitor of a
-distinguished family.
-
-How many of you could tell me who made the first piano-forte in America?
-And the first bass-viol? And the artificial leg with joints? And the
-first pack of playing cards? If you don’t know, it is not a matter of
-surprise, for those achievements are not chronicled in our histories.
-
-Well, I’ll tell you. There lived in Dorchester or Milton between the
-years 1640 and 1650 a lad named Teague Crehore, who, it is said, had
-been stolen from his parents in Ireland.
-
-One of his descendants was Benjamin Crehore, who was born in Milton. He
-was a remarkable genius. He it was who made the first piano-forte in
-America, manufactured the first bass-viols and invented the artificial
-leg with joints.
-
-And it was Thomas Crehore, a nephew of Benjamin Crehore and the son of
-William Crehore, a chair maker, and of the fifth generation of Teague
-Crehore, who manufactured the first playing cards in America.
-
-Thomas Crehore was a native of Dorchester and born in 1769. At the age
-of thirty-two he bought the land on which he built his factory and
-house. The industry continued there (in Milton Lower Mills, on the
-Neponset River, I believe) until 1846, when the factory was burned down.
-Mr. Crehore died in the same year, leaving a large estate.
-
-The Crehores and John Cogan were not the only Kelts who were business
-pioneers here in the early days. The first paper manufactured in America
-was made in Dorchester and three Irishmen, while not actually starting
-it, may be said to have been among the founders and promoters of the
-industry (their predecessors having for only a short time conducted it).
-These were Capt. James Boies, Jeremiah Smith and Hugh McLean. Cullen in
-his _Story of the Irish in Boston_, says: “If to Mr. Smith belonged the
-credit of being the first individual paper manufacturer, to others of
-his countrymen is due the fact that the Neponset River was made by them
-the basis of paper manufacturing in the North American colonies.”
-
-Boies was born in Ireland in 1702 and died in Milton at the age of
-ninety-six years. He was with General Wolfe in the battle on the Plains
-of Abraham. By direction of General Washington, Captain Boies directed
-the work of transporting the fagots, in which 300 teams were engaged,
-that were used in fortifying Dorchester Heights, following which event
-the British evacuated Boston. Boies was one of a committee of three
-which drew up instructions for the representatives of the town of
-Milton, wherein it was voted that the colony would support the
-Continental Congress with their lives and their fortunes in the event of
-hostilities with England.
-
-Jeremiah Smith was a native of Ireland and born in 1705. At the age of
-twenty-one he came to Boston and in 1737 removed to Milton. In that year
-he became superintendent of a paper industry started by some men,
-including Thomas Hancock, a few years before. Four years later he was
-its owner. He carried on the business until 1775, when he retired, after
-amassing a fortune.
-
-Smith was an intimate friend of Governor Hutchinson and also of Governor
-Hancock, at whose hospitable board the wits of the day were wont to
-gather. Smith was seldom absent on such occasions, and if he were
-blessed with the characteristic Keltic wit, as presumably he was, he
-must have added largely to the entertainment of Hancock and his guests.
-
-Hugh McLean, the third of the trio, was born in Ireland in 1724. He
-married a daughter of Boies and while in partnership with him became
-wealthy. He died in Milton at the age of seventy-five.
-
-Col. John C. Linehan, in his work _The Irish Scots and the
-“Scotch-Irish,”_ says: “Massachusetts had received, before the
-Revolution, a fair proportion of the Irish, for which the race has
-received but little credit. * * * The chronicles of the town of Boston,
-Mass., are full of enactments to keep the Irish out, but it was found to
-be impossible. They would come despite the prejudice, for Massachusetts
-was the most progressive of the colonies, and these people, or many of
-them, being artisans, spinners, weavers, shoemakers, ropemakers, etc.,
-their labor became welcome, and a compromise was made by obliging those
-of them who were well-to-do to furnish bonds for their poorer countrymen
-and women, to the end that they would not become public charges.”
-
-And again: “As early as 1780 and 1790 John Sullivan, Patrick Connor and
-Michael Carney were associated in the manufacture of paper at
-Dorchester, Mass.”
-
-Properly speaking, I should not quote this statement in my paper, as the
-dates mentioned are later than the limit of time with which my subject
-treats; but I deemed it fitting to do so as being supplementary to those
-facts given about the other three Kelts engaged in the business.
-
-Among the chaplains of the French fleet which assisted the Americans in
-the Revolution was Abbe Robin. He wrote a series of letters to a friend
-describing his travels in this country; the first, dated in Boston,
-contained this paragraph:
-
-“The Irish Presbyterians, discontented with their landlord at home and
-attracted by similarity of sentiment, have established in this place,
-with some success, manufactories of linen, and have made some attempts
-at broadcloths; those that have been lately manufactured are close and
-well woven, but hard and coarse; their hat manufactories have succeeded
-not better than the cloths; they are thick, spongy and without firmness,
-and come far short of the beauty and solidity of ours.”
-
-Now it is fair to infer that these industries were not started since the
-beginning of the Revolution. Those things are not done in war-times for
-very obvious reasons. That they had been in operation for some years may
-be taken for granted.
-
-And now here is evidence showing that one of these industries was
-started a long time previous to the date of the Abbe’s letter. The
-_American Cyclopedia_ says: “Some of the Scotch-Irish settlers in Boston
-in 1720 introduced the linen manufacture, which exercised much interest
-and was greatly encouraged, spinning-schools being established.” I
-didn’t know until I read this paragraph that there was such an
-individual as a “Scotch-Irishman” in Boston in the early days. The
-writers of the records never found one; or if they did, failed to
-recognize him.
-
-Now a word as to the alleged “Scotch-Irish” of early times in Boston:
-Thomas Hamilton Murray, secretary of the American-Irish Historical
-Society, says on the subject:
-
-“The Massachusetts colonial records repeatedly mention the ‘Irish,’ not
-the Scotch-Irish. Cotton Mather in a sermon in 1700 says: ‘At length it
-was proposed that a colony of Irish be sent over to check the growth of
-this countrey.’ No prefix there * * *
-
-“Cullen describes the arrival at Boston in 1717 of Captain Robert Temple
-‘with a number of Irish Protestants.’ Captain Temple was, in 1740,
-elected to the Charitable Irish Society. In another place Cullen alludes
-to ‘the Irish spinners and weavers who landed in Boston in the early
-part of the eighteenth century.’”
-
-One of the early citizens of Boston was William Hibbens, of Ireland, who
-came here in 1634. Like his countryman, John Cogan, he became prominent
-and wealthy. He was referred to in the colonial records as a gentleman.
-He served for a long time on the board of selectmen; as magistrate,
-agent of the colony in England, treasurer of the town stock; deputy to
-the General Court; highway surveyor; member of the commission to fortify
-Castle Island, and in other offices also labored for the interests of
-his townsmen.
-
-Hibbens wedded Mrs. Ann Moore, a widow, and sister of Governor
-Bellingham. He died in 1654. Mrs. Hibbens was hung for alleged
-witchcraft two years later. She left her property to her two sons, John
-and Joseph Moore, of Ballyhorick, County Cork, Ire.
-
-John Casey of Muddy River, as the now aristocratic town of Brookline was
-called in early days, was a participant in that conflict with the
-Indians known as King Philip’s War, fought in 1675–6. He took part in
-the attack on the Red Men’s fort in the Great Swamp in Rhode Island and
-was wounded in the engagement.

-
-The name Collins is found frequently in the early records. Edward
-Collins was a resident of Cambridge as early as 1646. He was a merchant.
-Christopher Collins, a shoemaker, lived in Dedham as early as 1645.
-William Collins was in Boston as early as 1646. He was the New England
-agent of Mathew Craddock of London, a merchant. John Collins became a
-“freeman” in 1646. Timothy Collins, a servant, was brought to Boston in
-1764 on a schooner which came from Halifax and Cork. Four years later
-came a lad set down in the records as William Collen, brought here on a
-sloop from Windsor.
-
-Ann Collins, a servant, arrived here from Ireland in 1767. Captain
-Palfrey Collins came into port in 1768. Clement Collins was one of a
-number of citizens who lodged their arms with the selectmen in 1774. He
-gave up a gun and a blunderbuss. Joseph Collins, on January 1, 1775, was
-nominated a watchman. In the company of which Captain Allen was
-commander in 1698 was Mathew Collins. In a public school kept here by
-Samuel Holyoke, Daniel Collins was a pupil in 1753. Thomas Collins, a
-farmer, came here in 1765 on a sloop from Fort Cumberland. John Collins
-was a constable in 1657. Henry Collins was made a freeman in 1636–7 and
-Edward Collins in 1640.
-
-Healy was another name of which I find mention on numerous occasions in
-colonial days. William Healy, who was here as early as 1645, figured in
-a number of real estate transactions and had business dealings with
-Governor Dudley.
-
-One of the leading Keltic families of colonial Boston was the McCarthys.
-Thaddeus McCarthy was here as early as 1666. He was an officer of the
-town in 1674 and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company
-in 1681.
-
-One of his sons, if I mistake not, was Florence McCarthy, who became one
-of the leading citizens of the town, a man of wealth and a successful
-dealer in provisions. He was one of the founders of the first Episcopal
-church in New England. He was here as early as 1686 and died in 1712. He
-left an estate valued at £2,922, including his farm, which embraced the
-land in Roxbury on which the Marcella Street Home stood.
-
-Another son was Captain William McCarthy, who was the best known
-ship-owner in the town. Still another was Thomas McCarthy. He was chosen
-a constable in 1727, but was not anxious to serve in that capacity. A
-fourth son was Thaddeus McCarthy, who was graduated from Harvard
-College, was pastor of the First Church in Worcester for thirty-seven
-years and became the father of fifteen children.
-
-A brother of this Thaddeus McCarthy, the minister, was Captain William
-McCarthy, who served as quartermaster of the Fifteenth Massachusetts
-Regiment in the Revolution, and a son was Dr. Thaddeus McCarthy, who
-became a noted medical practitioner in Fitchburg, Mass., and Keene, N.
-H. A Charles Maccarty took part in the expedition against Quebec in 1690
-and was badly wounded.
-
-I will not vouch positively that I have stated accurately the relations
-to one another of these Maccarthys. There is a little difference in one
-or two statements in this matter by at least two good authorities,
-Bernard Cullen, author of _The Story of the Irish in Boston_, and the
-late Col. John C. Linehan of Concord, N. H., author of numerous articles
-on the early Irish residents of New England.
-
-Now I am going to give you a few tid-bits, as it were, from the colonial
-records and other sources:
-
-“Derman Mahoone is fined 20 shillings for intertaining two Irishwomen”
-in 1657. In other words, he simply gave them the hospitality of his home
-in a legitimate way. But that was against the law—for the Irish.
-
-“Margaret Noriss, an Irishwoman is admitted to the town.” That was in
-1658.
-
-John Martin, a ship carpenter, was a resident in 1637 and was admitted
-an inhabitant in the following year.
-
-John Moore was the servant of the governor in 1639.
-
-Myles Tarne, a leather dresser, was here as early as 1642.
-
-From the records of 1646 I quote: “John Berry is put an apprentice to
-Edward Keyly for seaven years.” Berry, undoubtedly, is a corruption of
-Barry, and Keyly of Kelly or Kiley.
-
-I hardly need to remind you, in mentioning this, that the spelling of
-the keepers of the colonial records was something atrocious. William
-Healy, to whom I referred a moment ago, had his name spelled in at least
-five different ways.
-
-James Carey was chosen town clerk of Charlestown in 1662.
-
-A great fire occurred in Boston in 1760. Among those whose homes were
-destroyed were Captain Killeran and Michael Carroll. They lived in the
-district which we used to know as Fort Hill.
-
-In 1659 Governor Endicott united in marriage John Morrell and Lysbell
-Morrell, both Irish, say the records.
-
-James Cochran, an Irish boy, was captured by Indians in those early
-days. He was a brave youth and managed to kill a couple of savages and
-make his escape. _The Boston News-Letter_ of April 29, 1725, said of
-him: “James Cochran, ye youth that came into Brunswick with two scalps,
-came into town on Monday last and on Tuesday produced ye same scalps
-before ye Honorable Lieutenant-Governor and Council, for which he
-received a reward of two hundred pounds. And for ye farther
-encouragement of young men and others to perform bold and hardy actions
-in ye Indian war, His Honor ye Lieutenant Governor has been pleased to
-make him sargeant in ye forces.”
-
-Verily, a good type of the Fighting Race!
-
-Now to come down to the second half of the period of time which I am
-considering. One of the most picturesque and interesting figures in the
-history of Boston was John Hancock, whom, some claim, had Irish blood in
-his veins. He was a staunch patriot, statesman, leader in public
-affairs, governor of the Commonwealth, orator and the first signer of
-the Declaration of Independence (which, by the way, with only his
-signature as president of the Continental Congress and that of Charles
-Thomson, a native of Maghera, Ire., as secretary, was sent forth to the
-world, the other names being added to it later).
-
-As a bit of evidence which may help to indicate Hancock’s ancestry, it
-may be worth mentioning that he presented a bell and vane to the Irish
-Presbyterian Church in Boston.
-
-A copy of _The Tyrone, Ireland, Constitution_, issued some time in or
-prior to 1876, contained these statements: “Those who are conversant
-with _Reid’s History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland_ are aware
-that multitudes of Protestants left Ulster for the plantations of North
-America. John Hancock’s ancestor was among that number.”
-
-And again: “It is stated by reliable authorities that the ancestors of
-John Hancock emigrated from near Downpatrick, Co. Down, Ire., and
-settled in Boston toward the close of the seventeenth century. The
-Hancocks have been for centuries actively and largely engaged in the
-foreign and domestic trade of Newry, and it was, doubtless, in a
-commercial capacity that the first of the name came to Boston. The
-family to which President Hancock belonged is, it is said, now (1889)
-represented in Ireland by John Hancock of Lurgan, and by Neilson
-Hancock, the founder of the Irish Statistical Society. Anthony Hancock,
-who came from Ireland, resided in Boston in 1681, and he was evidently
-the founder of the family in America.”
-
-Equal to Hancock in patriotism and brilliant qualities was James
-Sullivan, who spent the last part of his life in Boston. He was a
-governor of Massachusetts, patriot, jurist, orator and author and shone
-conspicuously in his various roles. He was a brother of General John
-Sullivan, New Hampshire’s most distinguished Kelt, patriot, the soldier
-who struck the first blow for the freedom of his country, delegate to
-the Continental Congress, jurist and chief magistrate of the Granite
-State.
-
-These two great men were the sons of Owen Sullivan or O’Sullivan, who
-came from Ardea, Co. Kerry, while their mother was from Cork.
-
-The year 1737 was notable in the annals of Boston as marking the birth
-of a lad who was destined, up to the present time, to become her
-greatest artist, “the American Vandyke,” as he was fittingly called. He
-was a painter of portraits and historical subjects, and doubtless many
-of you have seen some of the splendid works from his brush which enrich
-the Museum of Fine Arts. I refer to John Singleton Copley. He was the
-son of Irish parents (they were from County Clare), who settled in
-Boston in 1736.
-
-Copley began his career under great disadvantages—without teacher or
-instruction, without model, without materials to practise. He even had
-to make his own palette and arrange what colors he used. Furthermore, he
-never saw a good picture until he left his native land. But
-notwithstanding all this, his genius triumphed.
-
-When twenty-three years old, Copley sent, without name or address, an
-exquisite portrait of his half-brother, entitled “The Boy and the Flying
-Squirrel,” to Benjamin West, the famous English painter, requesting that
-it be placed in the exhibition rooms of the Royal Academy in London.
-Though it was contrary to the rules of that institution to give such an
-honor to the work of unknown artists, this product of the young American
-Kelt was placed there because of its merits and through West’s
-influence. West himself made this comment on the painting: “What
-delicious coloring! It is worthy of Titian himself!”
-
-Copley spent the latter part of his life in London, and after achieving
-the most brilliant success and receiving high honors, died in 1815.
-
-Some of his biographers assert that Copley left America because of
-royalist tendencies, but this is untrue. He did so simply to perfect
-himself in his art. As a matter of fact, his sympathies and judgment
-were enlisted with his countrymen in their struggle for independence, as
-passages in his own and friends’ correspondence conclusively prove.
-
-Among the Massachusetts men who signed the Declaration of Independence
-was Robert Treat Paine of Boston. Paine, according to what is believed
-to be good authorities, had Irish blood in his veins. He was the
-grandson of Robert Paine, who came here about the year 1698. This Robert
-Paine was a brother of Henry O’Neill of Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, a
-descendant of Shane the Proud, Prince of Ulster, and cousin of Sir Neal
-O’Neill, who perished in the Battle of the Boyne. Henry O’Neill changed
-his name to Paine, which had been borne by a parental ancestor, in order
-to preserve part of his estates. So says O’Hart, compiler of _Irish
-Pedigrees_.
-
-Robert Treat Paine, signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born
-in Boston in 1731. He became a lawyer and conducted the prosecution of
-the English soldiers who perpetrated the “Boston Massacre,” as it is
-called. He served in the legislature and was a delegate to the
-Continental Congress from 1774 to 1778. When the State Constitution of
-Massachusetts was adopted in 1780 he was made attorney-general and
-served as such for six years, then becoming a judge of the Supreme
-Court.
-
-Two of his descendants and namesakes are today prominent citizens of
-Boston, one a successful business man, while the other, his son, a few
-years ago was the candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket.
-
-The first indication of the Irish in Boston giving any evidence of
-national spirit occurred in 1737, on St. Patrick’s Day, when twenty-six
-Protestant Kelts—they all belonged to the Irish Presbyterian
-Church—organized the Charitable Irish Society to aid unfortunate fellow
-countrymen and to cultivate a spirit of unity and harmony among all
-Irishmen in the Massachusetts colony and their descendants and to
-advance their interests socially and morally. It has held meetings and
-celebrations from that day down to the present, except during the
-Revolution, in which a number of members took part. It has the
-distinction of being the oldest Irish society in America. Some of the
-charter members were the founders of distinguished families.
-
-One of the founders was Peter Pelham, stepfather of Copley, the artist.
-He was an engraver, painter and father of fine arts. The same year the
-society was founded the selectmen granted him permission to open a
-school for the education of children in reading, writing, needle-work,
-dancing and the art of painting on glass, etc.
-
-Major-General Henry Knox, that brilliant and dashing soldier of the
-Revolution, and secretary of war, was also a member, as were his father
-and two uncles. General Knox was born in Boston in 1760.
-
-The membership roll also contained the names of Capt. Robert Gardner, a
-wealthy and prominent citizen; Rev. John Moorehead, pastor of the Irish
-Presbyterian Church; William Hall, who was the first president of the
-Society and was a constable in 1730; John McLean, a slater, and who made
-repairs on Faneuil Hall; Captain James McGee, who had command of a
-vessel in the service of the commonwealth of Massachusetts Bay and which
-was wrecked during a great storm in 1778, when seventy-two of the crew
-perished; and William Moroney. The diary of Lieutenant Burton, published
-in the Revolutionary rolls of New Hampshire, mentions the appointment by
-Washington of Mr. Moroney as provost marshal of the army.
-
-Among the soldiers serving in the Revolution was the son of Mr. Greaton,
-who kept the Greyhound Tavern in Roxbury. That boy became known to fame
-as General John Greaton. He belonged to the first company of minute men
-raised in America in 1775, and was chosen major, lieutenant-colonel and
-colonel of Heath’s regiment. After the battle of Lexington he was
-engaged in the skirmishes about Boston until he joined that memorable
-excursion to Quebec. He served throughout our struggle for independence
-and was one of Washington’s most trusted officers.
-
-William Connolly was another Boston Kelt who fought in the Revolution.
-And so was Michael Cassady. Cassady was one of the patriots at Valley
-Forge.
-
-Among the residents of Milton in colonial days was Anthony Gulliver, who
-was born in Ireland in 1619. He was the ancestor of a large number of
-able and influential men and women who have been prominent in public and
-religious affairs of Milton, Mass., for nearly two centuries.
-
-_The Story of the Irish in Boston_ contains the following interesting
-paragraph about a member of the Gulliver family:
-
-“Capt. Lemuel Gulliver, who once lived at Algerine Corner, returned to
-Ireland in 1723 and gave a glowing description of the American country
-to his neighbor, Jonathan Swift. Lemuel’s imagination was vivid and
-fanciful and he turned it to a quaint account in this instance.
-
-“He declared to Swift that ‘the frogs were as tall as his knees and had
-musical voices that were guitar-like in their tones; the mosquitoes’
-bills were as long as darning needles’; and from these exaggerated and
-fabulous accounts of the country the great Swift conceived and wrote the
-famous _Gulliver’s Travels_, which was published in 1726, displaying a
-unique union of misanthropy, satire, irony, ingenuity and humor.”
-
-
-
-
-                   CONCERNING “AN IRISH MAN-OF-WAR.”
-
-
-Further information is wanted regarding the following incident mentioned
-in _Winthrop’s History of New England_: “A ship from the Colonies,
-carrying fourteen guns * * * on a voyage to the Canaries about the close
-of the year 1644, fought nearly all day at close quarters, and finally
-beat off an Irish man-of-war of superior force.” Additional details on
-this subject would be of great interest.
-
-
-
-
-                       THEY FIRED THREE VOLLEYS.
-
-
-In connection with a celebration of St. Patrick’s Day in Baltimore, Md.,
-in 1798, it is noted that “at eleven o’clock Captain Stewart’s Irish
-brigade and Keating’s Irish grenadiers, accompanied by a detachment of
-Captain Weaver’s artillery, with two pieces of cannon, marched to
-Federal Hill and fired three volleys in honor of the day.”
-
-
-
-
-                     AN EARLY DOUGHERTY MENTIONED.
-
-
-The Boston _Evening Transcript_ recently had the following: “Dougherty.
-Lieutenant Charles Dougherty removed to Framingham from Brookfield about
-1765. When was he born and who were his parents? Was he son of Jane
-Dougherty, widow, whose will of 1763 mentions sons: Charles and Micah,
-and daughters: Elenor Patterson, Rebecca Getchell and Elizabeth Kendall?
-Any facts concerning early Massachusetts Doughertys will be
-appreciated.”
-
-
-
-
-                 LIEUT. JOHN MICHAEL O’CONOR, U. S. A.
-
-
-Hon. John D. Crimmins of New York City, in one of his books speaks of
-John Michael O’Conor. The latter was a native of New York; lieutenant in
-the Third U. S. Artillery, 1812; later, regimental quartermaster; was
-made captain in the spring of 1813; June 20, 1814, he was appointed
-assistant adjutant-general under Gardner, on Gen. Brown’s staff, and
-held the rank at the time of the battle of Chippewa, in which he
-participated. He left the army in 1821. He translated, in 1824, for the
-U. S. Military Academy at West Point, Guy de Vernon’s _Science of War
-and Fortifications_.
-
-
-
-
-                      A SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION.
-
-
-The society some time ago received an interesting letter of inquiry from
-Mrs. M. A. Mulcahy, residing at Jack’s Reef, Onondaga County, New York.
-She wrote concerning a granduncle, who served in the Revolution. His
-name was Flynn, and he came from the County Galway in Ireland. Dying, he
-left a will depositing certain money in the United States treasury. The
-heirs never received any of it. Mrs. Mulcahy wished to ascertain the
-proper steps to take to recover the same.

-                       THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.
-
-
-             BY HON. A. L. MORRISON, SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO.
-
-As Monday will be the anniversary of New Orleans, I thought I would send
-you the inclosed letter from General Jackson [who was of Irish
-parentage], which will help you to celebrate the great event. The
-introduction is somewhat mutilated, but you can get enough from it to
-serve as an introduction to the letter. A number of years ago I visited
-New Orleans, and I need not tell you that one of my most pleasant
-recollections of the visit was inspecting the field where 1,500 Kentucky
-and Tennessee riflemen killed or wounded 2,117 of England’s choicest
-troops, including their commander, General Pakenham, who was
-brother-in-law of the Iron Duke.
-
-I saw while on the field an unfinished monument in honor of the brave
-men who won the battle. I made all the inquiries possible about the
-monument (which I regarded as a monument of ingratitude), but could find
-no one who could give me any information concerning it. I even wrote to
-the _Picayune_ suggesting that as the exposition to celebrate the
-Louisiana Purchase was about to be held, the event would be a good
-opportunity to raise the funds necessary to finish the monument, but
-nothing was done and it still remains as a reproach to the last
-generation as well as to this.
-
-Of course you know that the treaty of Ghent was signed on Christmas Day,
-1814, so it was three weeks after that that the battle was fought; but
-it came in time to redeem the series of blunders that characterized the
-so-called campaign on the Canadian frontier. In this connection permit
-me to say that the house we live in was bought from a gentleman whose
-two grandfathers were present at the battle. I knew a man when I was a
-boy who fought on the British side, and also fought on the fatal field
-of Waterloo, in the Twenty-seventh Inniskillen Foot.
-
-                  *       *       *       *       *
-
-Following are the excerpts from General Jackson’s letter to which Mr.
-Morrison alludes above:
-
-“The battle (says General Jackson) commenced at a very little before 7
-a. m., January 8, 1815, and as far as the infantry was concerned it was
-over by 9 a. m. My force was very much mixed. I had portions of the 7th
-and 44th regular infantry regiments, Kentucky and Tennessee riflemen,
-Creoles, United States marines and sailors, Baratarian men—one of them,
-Captain Dominique You, commanded part of my artillery (and a famous
-gunner he was)—and two battalions of free negroes. I had in the action
-about 6,000 men. The British strength was almost the same as mine, but
-vastly superior in drill and discipline. Of their force my riflemen
-killed and wounded 2,117 in less than an hour, including two general
-officers (both died on the field, each a division commander), seven full
-colonels, with seventy-five line and staff officers. I lost six killed
-and seven wounded.
-
-“As to tactics, there were very little in use on either side. We had
-some works of earth fronting the river, but the Kentucky and Tennessee
-riflemen, who sustained the main attack, had protected themselves by a
-work about two feet and a half high, made of logs placed two feet apart,
-and the space between filled in with earth. This work began at the
-Mississippi River, and ended in the swamp, being at a right angle with
-the river.
-
-“Thinking this the weakest portion of our line, and seeing ununiformed
-men behind the trifling defenses, General Pakenham thought it the best
-thing to begin his attack by carrying this part of my line with the
-bayonet. On the 3d of January I had ordered that each rifleman’s
-powder-horn be filled, and enough lead for 100 bullets issued, besides
-good material for bullet-patching be furnished. This order required
-every soldier to thoroughly clean his rifle and put a new flint into the
-hammer; so we were ready as we could be for the attack.
-
-“There was a very heavy fog on the river that morning, and the British
-had formed and were moving before I knew it. The disposition of the
-riflemen was very simple. They were told off in numbers one and two.
-Number one was to fire first, then step back and let number two shoot
-while he reloaded. About six hundred yards from the riflemen there was a
-great drainage canal running back from the Mississippi River to the
-swamp in the rear of the tilled land on which we were operating. Along
-this canal the British formed under the fire of the few artillery pieces
-I had, near enough to them to get their range. But the instant I saw
-them I said to Coffee, whom I directed to hurry to his line, which was
-to be first attacked: ‘By ——, we have got them; they are ours!’ Coffee
-dashed forward, and riding along his line, called out, ‘Don’t shoot till
-you can see their belt-buckles.’ The British were formed in mass, well
-closed up, and about two companies front.
-
-“The British, thus formed, moved on at a quick step, without firing a
-shot, to within one hundred yards of the kneeling riflemen, who were
-holding their fire till they could see the belt-buckles of their
-enemies. The British advance was executed as though they had been on
-parade. They marched shoulder to shoulder, with the step of veterans, as
-they were. At one hundred yards’ distance from our line the order was
-given, ‘Extend column front. Double quick, march! Charge!’ With bayonets
-at the charge, they came on us at a run. I own it was an anxious moment;
-I well knew the charging column was made up of the picked troops of the
-British army. They had been trained by the duke himself, were commanded
-by his brother-in-law, and had successfully held off the ablest of
-Napoleon’s marshals in the Spanish campaign. My riflemen had never seen
-such an attack, nor had they ever before fought white men. The morning,
-too, was damp; their powder might not burn well. ‘God help us!’ I
-muttered, watching the rapidly advancing line. Seventy, sixty, fifty,
-finally forty yards were they from the silent kneeling riflemen.
-
-“All of my men I could see was their long rifles rested on the logs
-before them. They obeyed their orders well; not a shot was fired until
-the redcoats were within forty yards. I heard Coffee’s voice as he
-roared out: ‘Now, men, aim for the center of the cross-belts! Fire!’ A
-second after the order a crackling, blazing flash ran all along our
-line. The smoke hung so heavily in the misty morning air that I could
-not see what had happened. I called Tom Overton and Abner Duncan, of my
-staff, and we galloped towards Coffee’s line. In a few seconds after the
-first fire there came another sharp, ringing volley. As I came within
-one hundred and fifty yards of Coffee, the smoke lifted enough for me to
-make out what was happening. The British were falling back in a
-confused, disorderly mass, and the entire first ranks of their column
-were blown away. For two hundred yards in our front the ground was
-covered with a mass of writhing wounded, dead and dying redcoats.
-
-“By the time the rifles were wiped the British line was reformed, and on
-it came again. This time they were led by General Pakenham in person,
-gallantly mounted, and riding as though he was on parade. Just before he
-got within range of Coffee’s line, I heard a single rifle-shot from a
-group of country carts we had been using, about one hundred and
-seventy-five yards distant, and a moment thereafter I saw Pakenham reel
-and pitch out of his saddle. I have always believed he fell from the
-bullet of a free man of color, who was a famous rifle-shot, and came
-from the Atakappas region of Louisiana. The second advance was precisely
-like the first in its ending. In five volleys the 1,500 or more riflemen
-killed and wounded 2,117 British soldiers, two thirds of them killed
-dead or mortally wounded. I did not know where General Pakenham was
-lying, or I should have sent to him, or gone in person, to offer any
-service in my power to render.
-
-“I was told he lived two hours after he was hit. His wound was directly
-through the liver and bowels. General Keene, I hear, was killed dead.
-They sent a flag to me, asking leave to gather up their wounded and bury
-their dead, which, of course, I granted. I was told by a wounded officer
-that the rank and file absolutely refused to make a third charge. ‘We
-have no chance with such shooting as these Americans do,’ they said.”
-
-Commenting on the letter, and after referring to Napoleon’s expressions
-of admiration for the American leader’s action at New Orleans, William
-Hugh Roberts, the noted writer, said:
-
-“This concludes the material part of General Jackson’s letter. It was in
-the feverish glories of the Hundred Days that Napoleon came into
-possession of Mr. Monroe’s translation. There was no doubt about the
-facts. There happened to be abroad then in France two or three American
-gentlemen who were accustomed to the use of the rifle. One of them
-selected a weapon out of the four sent from America to the French
-emperor, and in Napoleon’s presence did some really excellent
-sharpshooting at one hundred yards.
-
-“Had Napoleon won Waterloo, it is possible that he would have organized
-a corps of sharpshooters and armed them with the American rifle, which
-was capable of a more deadly accuracy than any European arm of the kind,
-not excepting even the rifle of Switzerland. General Jackson repeated
-the compliment of Napoleon to the typical American weapon to General
-William Selby Harney, then a field officer of dragoons, who in turn
-related the incident to the writer.”

-                       ANENT THE SHANNON FAMILY.
-
-
-Eleanor Lexington, in the _Buffalo Sunday News_, states that Nathaniel
-Shannon, who was born in Ireland 1655, came to this country when he was
-thirty-two years old and made his home in Boston, where in 1701 he was a
-member of the Old South Church. Twenty-two years later he died, and the
-stone marking his grave in the Old Granary Burying Ground in Boston is
-still standing. Nathaniel’s brother, Robert, was mayor of Derry in 1689,
-and Nathaniel was also a man of affairs, holding many town offices. He
-was the first naval officer of the port of Boston and a merchant of
-prominence.
-
-The papers now preserved in the Massachusetts State Archives show that
-he was a man of good education. His wife was Elizabeth, and their
-children were Nathaniel J., Robert, who is supposed to have died
-unmarried, and Samuel, who married Ann Miller. Nathaniel the second
-married Abigail Vaughan, whose father was one of the royal councillors
-and also chief justice of New Hampshire. Nathaniel and Abigail had two
-sons, Nathaniel and Cutts. The four children of Nathaniel were his
-namesake, and George, Margaret and Abigail. Nathaniel and his wife,
-Abigail Vaughan, lived in Portsmouth, N. H., where he was a ship
-merchant. He also lived in Ipswich. Among other records of this
-generation, still extant, is that of a deed conveying land to Jonathan
-Belcher, 1720. Nathaniel was a slave owner, and, by will, left negroes
-to his sons.
-
-We find that Dover, N. H., was another stronghold of the Shannons, and
-Thomas, who married Lilias Watson, held many town offices. In 1785 he
-was captain of the New Hampshire militia. “He was a zealous supporter of
-the Revolution and active in recruiting its armies.” He died in 1800,
-aged about fifty years. Heitman’s _Officers of the American Revolution_
-names William Shannon of Virginia, ensign and lieutenant. O’Seanchain is
-said to have been the first form of the surname, Shannon. From
-O’Seanchain to Shanahan, Shanason, is considered an easy feat to
-accomplish by those who are skilled in such matters. Then from Shanahan
-to Shanon or Shannon is as easy as rolling off the proverbial log.
-Seanchain or Seanchan is composed of two Celtic words, “seancha,”
-meaning an antiquarian or genealogist, and “an,” one who. Seanchan is,
-then, one who is an antiquarian. Old records frequently give the name as
-Shanon, or with one “n.” The O’Sheanchains have a long pedigree,
-belonging, as they do, to that branch of the Celtic race which alone of
-all European races of the period antedating the Christian era has
-maintained its identity to the present time.

-              years. Few officers in the army saw more active service

-              he entered the army as a private in 1855, when eighteen
-              years old. For eight years he served as a private and

-              gallantry at Gettysburg. At the close of the war he
-              remained in the army, and served during many Indian
-              campaigns, the promotions coming slowly. He was in command
-              of the Twelfth Infantry in the Santiago campaign, and
-              was later brigadier-general of volunteers. He served in

-              until he retired was in command of the Province of Arba,
-              Northern Luzon. General Comba came of good old Gaelic

-              covering the Revolutionary War period were among this
-              collection. The sale attracted much interest. Death of
-              Col. Frances E. Lacey, a retired officer of the U. S. A.,
-              who had been residing with his son in New York City.
-              Colonel Lacey served with distinction throughout the Civil
-              War, with the Second Infantry, and participated in many
-              great battles. He remained in the service at the
-              reorganization in 1866, and was transferred to the Tenth
-              Infantry, in which organization he remained for
-              twenty-seven years, being the ranking officer in point of
-              service in the regiment. He was then a major and assigned
-              to the Seventeenth Infantry, and was at Columbus barracks.
-              Major Lacey was in Columbus for two and one-half years
-              from 1895. He was later made a lieutenant-colonel of the
-              Third Infantry and retired in 1897 as a colonel on pay.
-              Colonel Lacey was born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1833. He
-              came to Columbus while a young man in time to join the
-              forces of the Union. He was full of pluck and energy and
-              made a model soldier. His promotions came rapidly. Colonel
-              Lacey leaves three sons and one daughter, George B., who
-              resides in Columbus; R. E., who resides in Columbus;
-              Captain Francis E., of the First Infantry, now in the
-              Philippines; Mrs. F. S. Cuchen, wife of Captain Cuchen of
-              Governor’s Island. Interment was made at the National
-              Cemetery, Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Colonel Lacey was a
-              strong Irish Nationalist, and for many years a member of
-              the Robert Emmet Association of Columbus, O. At a regular
-              meeting of the association appropriate resolutions on his
-              death were adopted.
-
- April 9.   Osborne Howes, Brookline, Mass., a member of the Society,
-              died today. He was a descendant of David O’Killia, who
-              settled on Cape Cod, Mass., as early as 1657.
-
- April 14.  _The Boston Sunday Herald_ today has an article, in
-              connection with the coming Jamestown exposition, relative
-              to John Boyle O’Reilly’s visit to the Dismal Swamp in
-              1888, or thereabouts, in company with Edward A. Moseley,
-              Esq.
-
- April 19.  _The New York Times_ of this date has the following: “At
-              the instigation of President McGowan, there will be
-              introduced at the meeting of the aldermen on next Tuesday
-              a resolution asking Mayor McClellan to see what can be
-              done through the United States Department of State toward
-              recovering from the British government part of the records
-              of the City Fathers of proceedings in the Revolutionary
-              period, and which the British took with them when they
-              evacuated New York. Mr. McGowan has learned that the
-              aldermanic records for that period are all that are
-              required to make complete the city’s record of the
-              legislative work done by the municipal authorities. There
-              is a record showing that the missing papers were taken
-              away by the English, and Mr. McGowan believes that if the
-              British authorities were asked to return them they would
-              either do so or would at least permit a copy of them to be
-              made.”
-
- April 20.  At a meeting of the Fitchburg, Mass., Bar Association this

-              favoring the appointment of an associate judge of
-              Worcester County probate court from the northern part of
-              the county, and a committee was appointed to present to
-              the governor the names of Thomas F. Gallager, judge of the
-              Fitchburg police court, and Clark A. Batchelder as
-              candidates.
-
- April 21.  Lieut.-Col. Lewis Smith (U. S. A.), of Washington, retired,
-              died on April 21, aged seventy-three years. He was born
-              in Ireland and enlisted in the army in 1851, serving as
-              private, corporal and sergeant until 1862, when he was
-              commissioned second lieutenant of the Third Artillery. In
-              1898, after forty-seven years’ service, he was retired

-              1861. There were about 250 men in the banquet hall, but it
-              was a matter of comment that the great majority of these
-              were young men. The veterans were there, what are left
-              of them. The first hearty applause of the evening was
-              given when Lieut.Gov. Chanler entered the room. Awaiting

-              Island commission, as the youngest governor of any state
-              in the Union.
-
- May.       General Peter Leary, Jr., has written to the U. S. war
-              department, on behalf of residents of Baltimore, Md.,
-              against the proposition to dismantle Fort McHenry of its
-              guns. An answer has been received stating that if the city
-              would pay for the gun carriages it can have the guns
-              themselves. The war department places a value of about
-              $800 on ten gun carriages, seven of which are at Fort
-              McHenry and three at Fort Delaware. General Leary wrote
-              the department that there is a movement on foot to raise
-              the amount by popular subscription, and asked a month’s
-              grace before the guns are dismantled.

- May 6.     Mayor McClellan of New York City writes as follows: May 6,
-              1907. To the Honorable, the Board of Aldermen of the City
-              of New York: Gentlemen:—It is my duty to inform your
-              honorable body, for such action as you may deem fitting,
-              of the death of Patrick Keenan, chamberlain of the city of
-              New York. For seven consecutive terms a member of your
-              honorable body, once your presiding officer, once clerk of
-              the county of New York, and thrice chamberlain of the
-              city, Mr. Keenan enjoyed public confidence to an extent
-              attained by few men. He died in the fulness of man’s
-              allotted years, with no tarnish on the honor he prized so
-              much, and with only words of grief and praise from the
-              friends who venerated him and the citizens he faithfully
-              served. It is my privilege thus to express my sorrow at
-              the loss of a friend whose conduct rewarded the trust I
-              twice had the honor to repose in him.
-
-            Respectfully,
-
-            GEO. B. MCCLELLAN, _Mayor_.

-
- May 13.    J. Taylor Ellison, lieutenant-governor of Virginia, for
-              the Jamestown Exposition officials, has asked the city
-              of Albany for the loan of the oil portraits of former
-              governors John Jay, Dewitt Clinton and George Clinton,
-              and former Mayor Dirck Tenbroeck, which hang in the
-              common council gallery, and the original Dongan charter
-              of the city of Albany of 1686, as well as the framed
-              bill of expense for the trip of Indian chiefs to England
-              in 1710, which hangs in the mayor’s office. The city
-              authorities are in doubt whether to comply with the
-              request. The portraits asked for were painted by artists
-              from special sittings by the originals and the Dongan
-              charter is priceless.

-
- Oct. 19.   A telegram published today states that a turret accident on
-              board the battleship _Connecticut_, similar to those on
-              the _Georgia_ and several other of the U. S. big fighting
-              ships, was averted by the presence of mind and heroism of
-              Lieut. William Pigott Cronan, has just come to light
-              through the summoning of a board of inquiry at the New
-              York navy yard. According to the story, Lieutenant Cronan
-              was in command of one of the eight-inch guns on the
-              _Connecticut_ during recent target practice off New
-              England. As the powder charge was thrust into the gun, the
-              lieutenant noticed that from a small hole in the bag a
-              quantity of powder had escaped and fallen into the threads
-              into which the breech-block of the gun screws. Realizing
-              that the action of screwing the breach-block back home
-              would ignite the powder before the block could be firmly
-              screwed home, causing the entire charge to explode back
-              into the turret, Lieutenant Cronan shouted an order which
-              stopped every man in the turret, as he stood, except the
-              man who was closing the breech of the gun. He did not hear
-              the shout and continued to swing the block home.
-              Lieutenant Cronan sprang forward and thrust his hand into
-              the breech of the gun. The breech closed on his hand,
-              badly mangling it and cleanly cutting off the first
-              finger, which fell into the grooves and caused the closing
-              mechanism to clog. The sailor at the breech of the gun
-              fainted when he discovered what he had done and what he
-              had narrowly escaped doing. If the breech had been closed
-              it is likely that every man in the turret would have been
-              killed. The board of inquiry was called to determine how
-              the hole came into the powder bag. Cronan is a son of
-              Patrick J. Cronan of New Haven. During the war with Spain,
-              Lieutenant Cronan was highly commended for several acts of
-              bravery. The following is another account: While the
-              battleship _Connecticut_ was engaged in target practice
-              off Cape Cod last week, Lieutenant William P. Cronan
-              undoubtedly prevented a repetition of the fatal explosion
-              on the _Georgia_ by staying the closing of the breech of
-              the eight-inch barker in the after turret by inserting his
-              fingers in the breech grooves just as the heavy butt of
-              metal was swinging into place. When they swung back the
-              breech-block the fragments of his first and second
-              fingers, severed at the first joint, were found ground
-              into the grooves. The _Connecticut_ had joined the rest of
-              the squadron in target practice off Cape Cod last week and
-              all of the eight-inch guns were being worked. The firing
-              was fast, it being a part of the test that the guns should
-              be fired as rapidly and as accurately as possible, and in
-              order to outdo the sailors on the other ships that were
-              engaged in the practice, the _Connecticut’s_ men were
-              working hard to load, train and fire the four big tubes in
-              the starboard and port turrets. The eight men working
-              under command of Lieutenant Cronan in the aft starboard
-              turret were swinging to their task like pieces of
-              mechanism in a single machine. Two men worked the powder
-              hoist from the magazines below, two swabbed out the gun
-              after each shot, two lifted the bags of powder into the
-              breech after the heavy shell had been placed, and one man
-              swung back and locked the breech for the firing. It was
-              bang! and in an instant the breech was open and the men
-              were sucking in the powder fumes while they swabbed and
-              hoisted and charged the big gun for another shot. The gun
-              got so hot that it was difficult to place a hand on the
-              breech without blistering it. The men with the water swabs
-              kept the temperature down to the safety point inside the
-              chamber, but even at that it was almost hot enough to
-              flash powder and a little friction would have been enough
-              to set off any spare grains.

- Nov. 9.    A dispatch from Durham, N. H., which was published in the
-              Boston _Herald_ today, reads as follows: (Special Dispatch
-              to the _Sunday Herald_.) Durham, N. H., Nov. 9.—For some
-              years there has been a movement to restore the burial
-              place of Maj.-Gen. John Sullivan, who died in Durham
-              January 23, 1795. This labor of love, shared by many
-              prominent people both in and out of Durham, is now
-              completed. A substantial wall has been erected around
-              the little cemetery, the lot has been cleared and graded,
-              the gravestones reset and iron gates provided at the
-              entrance. As marking the end of this labor, a Sullivan
-              commemoration service has been planned for next Monday
-              afternoon, and an invitation to attend the ceremonies
-              is extended to all who cherish the dead general’s memory.
-              Descendants of General Sullivan, members of the Grand
-              Army posts and various historical societies and many
-              others have already signified their intention of being
-              present. The program will include an oration by the Rev.
-              William Elliot Griffis, D. D., of Ithaca, N. Y., a
-              celebrated authority on matters pertaining to General
-              Sullivan. The faculty of the New Hampshire State College
-              have volunteered to suspend college exercises during the
-              ceremonies, and the student battalion and college brass
-              band will perform escort duty. The procession will start
-              from the Congregational Church at 2.30 o’clock, proceeding
-              to the cemetery, where the exercises will be held. The
-              oration will be delivered at the church immediately
-              afterward. The house General Sullivan occupied will be
-              open for inspection by visitors during the day, also every
-              department of the state college and its work, in which
-              institution patriotism for present day needs is being
-              nurtured.

-
-
-The following members of the Society died during the year 1907, much and
-deservedly regretted:
-
-
-                      Rt. Rev. WILLIAM STANG. D.D.
-
-Bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Fall River, Mass., died February
-2, at St. Mary’s Hospital, Rochester, Minn. He was born at
-Langenbruchen, Baden-Baden, Germany, on April 21, 1854. His early
-education was received in the German Gymnasia, but as he had chosen the
-career of a missionary, he made his theological studies in the American
-College at Louvain, Belgium, and was there ordained to the priesthood,
-on June 15, 1878. After a brief service as professor in his Alma Mater,
-he came to the United States in 1879, and was accepted by the late
-Bishop Hendricken into the diocese of Providence, R. I. He adopted his
-new country in wholehearted fashion. In 1884, Father Stang was appointed
-rector of St. Anne’s Church, Cranston, R. I. He became rector of the
-Providence Cathedral, and held that important charge until 1895, when he
-returned to Louvain, to serve his church and country as vice-rector of
-the American College for a term of three years. Back to Providence in
-1898, he organized and headed the Providence apostolate—a band of
-missionary priests organized especially for missions to non-Catholics.
-He was also rector of St. Edward’s Church for three years, and then
-chancellor, until the division of the diocese of Providence in 1904, and
-his appointment to the new diocese of Fall River. Bishop Stang was
-consecrated in the Providence Cathedral during the same year, on May 1.
-He managed to combine the arduous ordinary work of the priesthood with
-the special work of the continuous student and author. Almost from the
-first year of his priesthood he was writing for the Catholic magazines
-and bringing out books. His published works, the last of which was
-brought out since his consecration, are: “The Life of Martin Luther,”
-“The Eve of the Reformation,” “More About the Huguenots,” “Germany’s
-Debt to Ireland,” “Pastoral Theology,” “Historiographia Ecclesiastica,”
-“The Business Guide for Priests,” “Theologia Fundamentalis Moralis,”
-“The Devil, Who He Is,” “Spiritual Pepper and Salt,” and “Socialism and
-Christianity.” His last magazine article, “Father Denifle and His Great
-and Lasting Work,” appeared in the _American Ecclesiastical Review_ for
-January, 1907.
-
-
-                            JOHN B. SULLIVAN
-
-of New Bedford, Mass. He died there February 9. Mr. Sullivan was born in
-Castletown, County Cork, June 24, 1847, the son of Timothy and Honora
-(Harrington) Sullivan. He received a common school education in his
-native town and in 1867 came to this country and settled in New Bedford.
-He learned the stone mason’s trade, at which he worked until 1882, when
-he began contracting and building. The latter business he pursued with
-conspicuous success up to the time of his death, being associated for a
-number of years past with his son, Mark E. Sullivan. A number of
-noteworthy New Bedford buildings have been erected by Mr. Sullivan.
-Among them are St. Mary’s Home, St. Lawrence’s presbytery, the Holy
-Family School, the tower of St. Lawrence’s Church, St. James’ Church,
-St. Mary’s Chapel, the Park Hotel, No. 8 Engine House, the Connell block
-on Purchase St., the Dawson building and the addition to St. Joseph’s
-Hospital. He built several schoolhouses for the city, and on the second
-set of plans for the high school was the lowest bidder. His firm secured
-the contract for finishing St. Anthony’s Church. Besides a large number
-of public buildings, Mr. Sullivan was an extensive builder of houses in
-the north part of the city. He carried on a stone quarry in addition to
-his building business. Mr. Sullivan was a trustee of St. Lawrence
-parish, a member of and one of the organizers of the Master Builders’
-Association, and a member of the New Bedford Board of Trade, the
-Plymouth Club and Holy Name Society of St. Lawrence Church. In August,
-1872, he married Miss Margaret Sullivan, who died, leaving one son, Mark
-E. By his second wife, who was Katherine E. Sullivan, he had two
-children, Mary and Frank.
-
-
-                             OSBORNE HOWES.
-
-He was a descendant of David O’Killia, who settled on Cape Cod, Mass.,
-as early as 1657. Osborne Howes was born in Boston in 1846 and was
-educated in private and public schools of the city. Soon after his
-graduation he entered the service of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
-on the steamers of that line running between Panama, San Francisco and
-Hongkong. After three years thus spent on the Pacific coast, he went to
-New York City and there began a connection with newspaper work which
-continued almost up to the time of his death. Beginning in the office of
-the _New York Tribune_, he was afterward employed by the _New York
-Times_, serving on that paper during its exposé of the “Tweed ring.” In
-1873 he accepted the position of secretary of the Boston board of fire
-underwriters, and was always thereafter identified with that body.
-Having resumed his residence in Boston, he was appointed from time to
-time to various public offices. As representative of the board of
-underwriters he was instrumental in having that board take action upon
-several important public questions. The resolution committing the
-associated board of trade to the principle that all future subways in
-Boston should be built under such conditions that they would ultimately
-revert to the city, was drawn up, presented and urged by him, and as a
-result of its adoption the Boston Associated Board of Trade was the
-foremost opponent on this question of excessive corporate demands. As a
-member of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Howes was chairman of its
-committee on the Isthmian canal, and vice-chairman of its committee on
-reciprocal trade relations with Canada. In this latter connection he
-addressed the boards of trade and chambers of commerce, not only of a
-number of the cities of New England, but those of New York,
-Philadelphia, Buffalo, Indianapolis and other cities of the West. In
-1891, feeling convinced that it was desirable that public action should
-be taken toward educating young men to become competent seamen, he
-prepared, introduced and succeeded in having the legislature adopt a
-bill creating the Nautical Training School, which the commonwealth now
-maintains on board the U. S. S. _Enterprise_. From 1875 to 1877,
-inclusive, Mr. Howes was a member of the common council of Boston,
-representing the South End ward, in which he then resided. In 1886 he
-moved his residence to the town of Brookline, and besides serving on
-various town committees, became a member of the rapid transit
-commission, to which he was appointed by Governor Russell; also a member
-of the metropolitan district (Greater Boston) commission, to which he
-was appointed by Governor Greenhalge. In 1884 Mr. Howes was a member of
-the special committee of fifteen which prepared the new Boston city
-charter; he also served as one of the trustees of the public library.
-Mr. Howes in 1901, and again in 1902, was nominated as the Democratic
-candidate for the state senate in the second Norfolk district, but was
-defeated on both occasions. On the first occasion, in his letter of
-acceptance, he described the state platform of the Democratic party as
-“an attempt to bring back the government machinery of the commonwealth
-to something approaching the simplicity of its earlier days.” On the
-second he championed “more liberal and advantageous trade relations
-between New England and Canada.” In 1904 Mayor Collins appointed him to
-an unsalaried position as member of the board of building inspection.
-The following year Mr. Howes took a leading part as chairman of the
-committee on resolutions in preparing the platform of the Democratic
-party in the state contest. Mr. Howes was Japanese consul in Boston at
-the time of his death, which sad event took place April 9.
-
-
-                            PETER McDONNELL.
-
-Born in Ireland, died aboard the White Star steamer _Oceanic_, in
-August, while returning from Ireland. Mr. McDonnell first came to this
-country when a young man. For a long time he had represented the
-railroads successfully at Castle Garden, the Barge Office and Ellis
-Island. He was also interested in the steamship business at the
-immigration station and carried on a big banking business at No. 2
-Battery Place. When he went to his old home in Ireland in the spring he
-was in poor health. He was accompanied by his wife and one of his six
-sons. Mr. McDonnell was the secretary and a director of the Columbia Oil
-Company of New York, one of the few rivals of the Standard Oil Company,
-and a director of the New York Mortgage and Securities Company. He was a
-member of the Catholic Club and for many years of the Friendly Sons of
-St. Patrick. When President Roosevelt was the guest of the latter
-organization in 1905, it will be remembered the birth of Mr. McDonnell’s
-grandson, which was announced at the dinner, was one of the features of
-the occasion.
-
-
-                             JOHN B. SHEA.
-
-Born in Kenmare, Ireland, 1835; he came to this country when he was
-seven years of age. He died late in 1907. Mr. Shea was very successful
-in business. He went to work for Andrew Berrian, a pen manufacturer, in
-1849, and after being employed by Bard Bros. of Philadelphia, Alexander
-Morton and Leroy W. Fairchild, he entered the factory of Aikin, Lambert
-& Co., the Maiden Lane, New York, jewelers, as foreman. In 1869 he was
-admitted to partnership, and when the concern was incorporated, he
-became its vice-president, which position he held up to the time of his
-death. Mr. Shea never married and is survived by a sister, Mary, and a
-brother, Michael. He was a brother of the late Denis Shea, clothier of
-Broome and Crosby streets, who was the Republican district leader of the
-Second district from early in the 90s, until his death, about three
-years ago. John B. Shea was his trustee.
-
-
-                    Rt. Rev. Mgr. THOMAS H. WALLACE.
-
-He was born in Somersworth, N. H. He died in Lewiston, Me., November 1.
-After finishing his course in the Somersworth High School, he graduated
-in 1864, entered Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass., and carried off
-the highest honors of his class at his graduation in June, 1868. In the
-following September he entered the Theological Seminary of St. Sulpice,
-Montreal. He was ordained priest by the first bishop of Portland, the
-Rt. Rev. David William Bacon, D. D., in the Cathedral, Portland, Me.,
-August 5, 1871. After his ordination he was first sent as assistant to
-the pastor at Waterville, whose parish included twelve or fifteen
-missions. Here the young priest began his mission work and displayed
-that tireless energy and zeal that gave promise of his future success.
-In 1872 he was transferred to St. Dominic’s Church in Portland to assist
-the Rev. Eugene M. O’Callaghan, who is now the Rt. Rev. Monseigneur, and
-vicar general of the diocese of Manchester, N. H. The careers of both
-priests have been very similar, each of them receiving the purple in
-1905. Father Wallace succeeded Father O’Callaghan as rector of St.
-Dominic’s and to this day both are most lovingly remembered by the old
-members of the parish. In August, 1876, Father Wallace was appointed
-rector of St. Joseph’s, Lewiston, which has been the scene of his labors
-for the past thirty-one years. He found St. Joseph’s with a debt which
-he set to work at once to pay off. In March, 1880, he purchased the
-Bonallie Block on Main Street. He remodelled this block and fitted it
-for a school for the girls of the parish at an expense of $30,000. He
-placed the school under the charge of the nuns of Notre Dame from
-Montreal. In 1886 he purchased the fine property at the corner of Bates
-and Walnut streets, at a cost of $25,000. This lot fronts on the City
-Park and is the most beautiful site for a church in the state. He began
-work at once on the foundation of the church and on June 24, 1887, the
-corner stone was laid by the lamented Bishop Healy, with appropriate
-ceremonies. The dedication sermon was preached by the Rt. Rev. Thomas J.
-Conaty, D. D., who is now bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles, Cal. The
-first mass in the sacred edifice was celebrated in 1890.

-  HON. FELIX CARBRAY, M. R. I. A.,
-
-  A MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY, RECENTLY DECEASED.
-]
-
-
-                    Hon. FELIX CARBRAY, M. R. I. A.
-
-A native of Quebec, born in 1835. He died in Quebec in December, 1907.
-His parents were from the County Tyrone, Ireland, and came to Canada in
-the early 30s. The father, Niall Carbray, was born at Carrickcastle,
-near Dungannon. The old Carbray homestead still exists there and is
-occupied by a member of the family. His mother was Catherine Connolly, a
-native of Clogher, County Tyrone. Felix, the son, subject of this
-sketch, was educated at private schools and at the Christian Brothers,
-in his native city. Endowed with natural talents of no ordinary
-character and with a thirst for knowledge, he applied himself earnestly
-in the effort to improve his education in every possible way. He
-distinguished himself in mathematics and literature. He was endowed with
-a great aptitude for the acquisition of foreign languages, and was
-familiar with the Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French. He was as
-thoroughly familiar with French as with English. Thus well equipped with
-a superior education and a worthy ambition to make his mark in life, he
-began a business course in April, 1854, as an accountant, which he
-continued in some of the leading houses in his native city for fifteen
-years. In May, 1869, he opened an office as a general commission and
-shipping merchant, which from the beginning was most successful. In the
-spring of 1870, he took as partner, Francis Routh, son of the late Sir
-Randolph Routh. His mother was a Taschereau, sister of the late Cardinal
-Taschereau and of the late Chief Justice Taschereau. The new firm,
-Carbray & Routh, which a few years later became Carbray, Routh & Co.,
-opened an office also in Montreal, Mr. Carbray managing the business of
-the Quebec office and Mr. Routh that of the Montreal office. The new
-firm had a long, prosperous and honorable career. No firm was more
-widely known all over the business world, nor did any stand higher for
-integrity and honor. The partnership, having expired in 1900, was
-dissolved and the affairs liquidated; this being found to the mutual
-advantage of the associates. Mr. Carbray continued the business at
-Quebec with his son, William, under the name of Carbray, Son & Co., and
-Mr. Routh that of Montreal under the style of F. A. Routh & Co. Both
-firms have been very successful and bid fair to go on down the
-generations like many of the old houses of Europe. The high character
-and abilities of Felix Carbray at an earlier date attracted the
-attention of his fellow citizens, and every mark of esteem and
-confidence was shown him. He loved Ireland, the land of his fathers,
-with an intense love, and threw himself heart and soul into every
-movement tending to promote her cause or the welfare of his race. No
-Irishman of his time in Quebec did more to raise the prestige of the
-Irish race and the cause of Ireland among the peoples of other races. In
-1883, _Redpath’s Weekly_ says of Mr. Carbray: “He is a gentleman of high
-culture and deep learning. His linguistic attainments are also
-remarkable. He speaks the French and English languages with equal
-fluency, and as both are used in the Quebec legislature, Mr. Carbray
-addresses the house in one or the other with equal elegancy, as
-circumstances may require. He also converses freely in Italian, Spanish
-and Portuguese. The high esteem in which he is held by his Irish fellow
-citizens is best shown by the fact that they have never missed an
-occasion to put him in every place of honor and trust within their gift.
-He is at present their worthy representative in the parliament of the
-Province of Quebec, as a member of the West Division of the city, which,
-though it contains the leading British commercial men of Quebec, is
-controlled by the Irish vote. Mr. Carbray is an eloquent and forcible
-orator, his recent speech on the occasion of the reading of ‘the speech
-from the throne,’ having been pronounced by the Canadian press as the
-most remarkable English speech ever delivered in the Quebec legislature.
-In his public capacity Mr. Carbray has never made an enemy, while as a
-private citizen he has hosts of friends.” Rose, in his _Cyclopedia of
-Canadian Biography_, says of him: He was educated at Quebec, where he
-has resided throughout his life, though he has traveled extensively in
-America and Europe, principally on business connected with the trade in
-lumber, in which his house is engaged. He was one of the pioneers of the
-lumber trade between the St. Lawrence and South America, and is still
-largely interested in it. In addition to his other duties, he fills the
-important position of consul of Portugal at the port of Quebec. A
-Catholic in religion, Mr. Carbray has been honored by the St. Patrick’s
-congregation of Quebec with election and re-election as one of the
-trustees, and is also a trustee of that noble Irish Catholic charity,
-the St. Bridget’s Asylum of Quebec. He has taken an equally active and
-leading part in all the local national movements of his fellow
-countrymen, and has been president of the St. Patrick’s Literary
-Institute, the Irish National Association, and other Irish bodies in
-Quebec. He is a Liberal-Conservative in politics, and at the provincial
-general elections in 1881, yielding to the solicitations of his friends,
-he ran as the party candidate for the electoral division of Quebec West,
-and, after a hard fight, was elected by a good majority to represent
-that constituency in the legislative assembly in the province. His
-parliamentary career was very creditable. Though he did not often
-address the house, he was always listened to with the utmost respect,
-being an equally good speaker and debater in both English and French,
-and never wasting his powder except on serious and interesting subjects
-with which he was most conversant, such, especially, as questions of
-finance and commerce. In May, 1854, he married Miss Margaret Carberry, a
-daughter of the late William Carberry of Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland, of
-whom he had four sons and six daughters. Those still living are: Herbert
-of Montreal; William, Quebec; Thomas John, a promising lawyer; Mrs. P.
-L. Connor, Boston; Mrs. Alfred Carroll, Montreal, and Grace. His
-youngest daughter, Grace, and son, Thomas, live with him at “Benburb
-Place,” and the Ramparts. Mrs. Carbray died in May, 1895. She was a
-patriotic Irish woman and revered and esteemed for her piety and
-devotedness to God’s poor. In October, 1902, he married Miss Brigid
-Carberry—widow of the late Nicholas K. Connolly—sister of his first
-wife. The marriage ceremony was performed at St. Gabriel’s Church, New
-York, by Archbishop Farley. She died on July 1, 1903, deeply regretted
-by her sorrowing husband and all who knew her. A most amiable lady and,
-like her sister, devoted to the poor. Mr. Carbray filled many
-distinguished positions in his life; he is held in high esteem by his
-fellow citizens of all races, creeds and politics. He was a member of
-the Quebec Harbor Commission, of the Quebec Board of Trade, consul for
-Portugal, and, being the oldest consul here, is dean of the Consular
-Corps, senior trustee of St. Patrick’s Church, of the St. Bridget’s
-Asylum Association, president of the United Irish League, etc., etc. Mr.
-Carbray was an ardent upholder of the movement for the revival of the
-Irish language. He delivered a lecture on this subject at Tara Hall,
-Quebec, in April, 1899, which displayed profound knowledge of the
-subject, and attracted the attention and encomiums of the whole Celtic
-world. Mr. Carbray had a collection of books on Ireland which formed
-probably the best of its kind in Canada. He was a member of the Royal
-Irish Academy.

-      this capacity on to Appomattox and Lee’s surrender, and was

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

-
-  =Doyle, John F.=, of John F. Doyle & Sons, 45 William Street, New York
-      City. (Life member of the Society.) Mr. Doyle is the senior member
-      of the real estate firm of John F. Doyle & Sons. He was born in
-      New York City, 1837, a son of James Doyle, who participated in the
-      Irish revolution of 1798, and who came to the United States early
-      in 1806. This James Doyle, the immigrant, had a son who was killed
-      in the Florida war of 1837, and a grandson who fell in 1861,
-      fighting for the Union. John F. Doyle, the subject of this sketch
-      and member of the Society, entered the law office of Alexander
-      Hamilton, grandson of the first secretary of the treasury,
-      afterwards the firm of Hamilton, Rives & Rogers, and remained with
-      them from 1853 to 1869, in the meantime studying law and being
-      admitted to the bar in 1862. Alexander Hamilton, Francis R. Rives,
-      a son of William C. Rives, of Virginia, at one time minister to
-      France and senator, and Nathan 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 so many years ago. During his career Mr. Doyle
-      has met and done business with some of the most notable men
-      connected with 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,

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

-  =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 a 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,

-  =McClure, David=, lawyer, 22 William Street, New York City. Mr.
-      McClure was admitted to the bar in December, 1869, in New York
-      City, where he has since resided. His practice has brought him
-      very prominently before the courts and public during the last
-      thirty-six years as counsel in cases which have attracted much
-      attention. He has been counsel in many contested will cases,
-      including those of Merril, Schuyler Skatts, Charles B. Beck and
-      Mary Johnson. In the Livingston, De Meli and General Burnside
-      litigation he was also prominent. He has been connected with many
-      large corporation foreclosure suits, including those of the Denver
-      Water Company, the New York & Northern Railroad Company, Omaha
-      Water Company, the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan, the
-      Northern Pacific, the New York, Lake Erie & Western, the Oregon
-      Railway & Navigation Company, the Oregon Improvement Company, the
-      Chicago & Northern Pacific Company, the Bankers and Merchants’
-      Telegraph Company, and the Memphis & Charleston Railroad Company.
-      He is regarded as one of the most successful trial lawyers at the
-      bar in New York. Mr. McClure for more than a quarter of a century
-      has been counsel for the Farmers Loan & Trust Company, the oldest
-      and largest trust company in the United States, organized in 1821;
-      and for many years of the Consolidated Gas Company, one of the
-      largest public service corporations in the country. He is also
-      counsel for the West Side Savings Bank, several fire insurance
-      companies and other banks. He was one of the counsel for the
-      Mutual Life Insurance Company during the presidency of F. S.
-      Winston. For years he was a director in the Lawyers Surety
-      Company, and he is on the board of the Title Insurance Company of
-      New York. He was a prominent and active member of the State
-      Constitution Convention of 1894, in which body he introduced and
-      carried through the amendment providing for protection of the
-      forests of New York. He years ago declined elevation to the bench
-      of the Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state of New
-      York, and several times to other positions; also appointment to
-      the offices of corporation counsel of the city of New York, and
-      district attorney of the United States. Mr. McClure was appointed,
-      in 1893, receiver of the National Bank of Deposit, in the city of
-      New York, and in spite of the stringent financial condition which
-      prevailed during the summer of that year, dividends aggregating
-      seventy-five per cent were paid within three months. The entire
-      indebtedness, principal and interest, was paid and the
-      receivership closed out within one year. In 1892 he was a delegate
-      from the state of New York to the National Democratic Convention
-      which, at Chicago, nominated Grover Cleveland as candidate for the
-      office of president of the United States, and during the campaign
-      of that year he was much discussed by the press of New York as the
-      probable nominee of his party for the office of mayor of the city.
-      In that year he was designated by the General Term of the Supreme
-      Court, chairman of the first commission appointed to determine
-      whether a subway passing under Broadway and other streets through
-      the city should be constructed, his associates being Robert
-      Maclay, president of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, and Benjamin
-      Perkins. Prior to the adoption by the United States government of
-      the Panama Canal project, and during the presidency of Mr.
-      McKinley, one of the largest, if not the largest, syndicates of
-      moneyed men ever gathered together obtained a concession from the
-      government of Nicaragua for the construction of a canal known as
-      the Nicaragua Canal. This syndicate, which proposed to build the
-      canal without government aid, was composed of the Messrs.
-      Vanderbilt, Astor, Rockefeller, Mills, Stillman, Grace, Crimmins,
-      and others of equal standing, and was represented before the
-      committee of Congress upon the question of recognition and
-      protection, by Mr. McClure as its counsel, he having organized the
-      corporation under which it was proposed to operate. Mr. McClure is
-      a member of the Manhattan, New York Athletic and other clubs, and
-      the Bar Association; of which he has been a member of the
-      judiciary and other committees. He has also been honored with the
-      presidency of the Metropolitan Surety Company.

-      Port Penn, Del., August 4, 1843. He is the son of John and
-      Catherine (Caldwell) McGowan. He was educated in the public
-      schools of Philadelphia, Pa., 1848–’53, and in private schools in
-      Elizabeth, N. J., 1854–’59. Entering the navy, he was appointed
-      acting master’s mate, March 8, 1862; was promoted to acting master
-      May 8, 1862, and ordered to command the U. S. S. _Wyandank_ in the
-      Potomac flotilla. He served on the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers
-      until February, 1863, when he was detached from the _Wyandank_ and
-      ordered to the _Florida_ as navigator. He served on the _Florida_
-      in the blockade off Wilmington, N. C., until October, 1864, when
-      the ship went to New York for repairs. In November, of the same
-      year, he was detached from the _Florida_ and ordered to the U. S.
-      S. _State of Georgia_ as navigator; arrived off Wilmington, N. C.,
-      the day after the capture of Fort Fisher, his ship being then
-      ordered to reinforce the fleet off Charleston, S. C. While there
-      he took part in the Bulls Bay Expedition, which was one of the
-      causes of the evacuation of Charleston by the Confederates. Soon
-      after the evacuation, the _State of Georgia_ was ordered to
-      Aspinwall (Colon) to protect American interests on the Isthmus of
-      Panama. Before sailing for Aspinwall, McGowan succeeded Lieutenant
-      Manly as executive officer of the ship. In November, 1865, he was
-      ordered to the U. S. S. _Monongahela_ as watch and division
-      officer; served on the _Monongahela_ in the West Indies until
-      January, 1867, when he was detached and, a few days later, joined
-      the U. S. S. _Tacony_, Commander Roe, fitting out for duty in the
-      Gulf Squadron. He was at Vera Cruz nearly all the summer of 1867,
-      which witnessed the fall of Maximilian’s empire. After the death
-      of Maximilian, and the surrender of Vera Cruz to the Liberals, the
-      _Tacony_ returned to Pensacola, Fla., but yellow fever breaking
-      out aboard, the ship went to Portsmouth, N. H., where, after
-      undergoing quarantine, the officers were detached and ordered to
-      their homes the latter part of September, 1867. In October of the
-      same year, McGowan was ordered to duty on board the receiving ship
-      at the Philadelphia navy yard. He commanded the U. S. S.
-      _Constellation_ there, and was afterward executive officer of the
-      frigate _Potomac_, also a receiving ship, at Philadelphia. In
-      March, 1868, while on the _Potomac_, he received a commission as
-      master in the regular navy, and in October, 1868, was ordered to
-      duty with the Asiatic fleet. On reporting to the admiral, he was
-      ordered to duty as executive officer of the U. S. S. _Unadilla_;
-      succeeded to the command of the _Unadilla_ in June, 1869, and in
-      November of that year was detached from the _Unadilla_ and ordered
-      to the U. S. S. _Iroquois_; returned in her to the United States,
-      the ship going out of commission in April, 1870. In April, 1870,
-      he was promoted to be lieutenant-commander and while in that grade
-      served on the double-turreted monitor _Terror_, the _Wachusett_,
-      _Juniata_ and _Marion_ as executive officer, and at the League
-      Island, Philadelphia and Brooklyn navy yards. In January, 1887, he
-      was promoted to commander; commanded the _Swatara_, _St. Mary’s_,
-      _Portsmouth_ and _Alliance_, and was also commandant of the naval
-      training station at Newport, R. I., from December, 1896, to July,
-      1899. He was promoted captain, February, 1899, and in August took
-      command of the U. S. S. _Monadnock_ at Manila. In November, 1900,
-      he was ordered to duty as commandant of the naval station at Key
-      West, Fla. In April, 1901, he was detached and ordered before the
-      retiring board. He was retired, with the rank of rear admiral, in
-      April, 1901. In October, 1871, he wedded Evelyn Manderson of
-      Philadelphia. Admiral McGowan is a member of the military order of
-      the Loyal Legion, of the Order of Foreign Wars, the Sons of the
-      Revolution, and of the Society of Marine Engineers and Naval
-      Architects. He is also a member of the following clubs: the
-      Metropolitan and Chevy Chase of Washington, D. C.; the Rittenhouse
-      of Philadelphia, the Union of New York, and the New York Yacht
-      Club. Admiral McGowan’s father, Capt. John McGowan, was appointed
-      a lieutenant in the revenue cutter service by President Andrew
-      Jackson. He was at Charleston, S. C., during the nullification
-      period, served in the Seminole War, in the War with Mexico, and in
-      the Civil War. He commanded the steamer _Star of the West_ in the
-      attempt to reinforce Fort Sumter in 1861. He died in January,
-      1891, aged 85 years.

-  =Sanders, Col. C. 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.

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

-
-  DEAR SIR: The sixth volume of the records of your Society was received
-  last week, and it is my pleasant duty to thank you for your courtesy
-  in sending it to our library. The whole volume is extremely
-  interesting, and the articles of such equal value that it is hard to
-  put one before another. Two classes in history are just engaged on the
-  periods covered by your learned writers.
-
-                        Very sincerely yours,
-                                SISTER MARY PATRICIA, S. N. D.,

-
-  DEAR SIR: I acknowledge with great pleasure the receipt of the Journal
-  of the American-Irish Historical Society, Volume VI, 1906. I have
-  perused it with great satisfaction and am happy and proud to know that
-  the glorious part which the Irish bore in our early history, and are
-  bearing today, is being so well brought before the eyes of the world.
-
-  “To make better known the Irish Chapter in American History,” your
-  neat and wholesome volume will undoubtedly contribute much, for the
-  spirit manifested throughout the book is such as to beget love of the
-  race and an interest to continue reading. And you build up the
-  glorious edifice of true American-Irish history by simply claiming
-  your due and disparaging no man. This intention, your illustrious
-  President-General McGowan, in his address to the members of the
-  Society, has chivalrously expressed in these memorable words: “We rob
-  no race to gild the Irish name when we undertake to unearth the
-  records of the past.... 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.... 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.”
-
-  Wishing you and your Society continued success and influence, and
-  thanking you once again for your kindness, believe me,
-
-                        Most sincerely yours,
-                                    (VERY REV.) JAMES F. MOONEY,

-
-  MY DEAR MR. MURRAY: I have just received Volume VI of the Journal of
-  the American-Irish Historical Society, and have perused its contents
-  with a great deal of interest.
-
-  No word of mine can convey the gratitude I personally feel for the
-  disinterested and fruitful work of those, yourself among them, whose
-  labors have succeeded in resurrecting so much information of value,
-  tending to point out the importance of the work of the early Irish
-  emigrants in the formative period of American history and
-  institutions.
-
-  I pray the good work may be continued, to the end that our children,
-  as Americans, may learn the truths of history rather than its vagaries
-  and falsehoods. With great respect, believe me,
-
-                                      Sincerely yours,

-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second

-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>The event was a very successful one and was participated in by a
-large gathering. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Admiral
-McGowan, the president-general of the Society, the business session
-was presided over by Mr. M. F. Dooley of Providence, R. I., treasurer-general
-of the organization.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. T. H. Murray, secretary-general of the Society, was present,
-but owing to illness was assisted in his duties by Mr. P. F. Magrath
-of Binghamton, N. Y.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The reading of the minutes of the preceding annual meeting was
-omitted.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The annual report of the secretary-general was presented, accepted
-and adopted, as was that of the treasurer-general. Both
-reports showed the Society to be in an excellent condition.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Several new members were admitted to the organization.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The annual election of officers then took place, the result being
-as given on pages <a href='#Page_5'>5</a> and <a href='#Page_6'>6</a> of this volume. The business session
-was then dissolved, and after an interval the company proceeded to
-the annual dinner.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Thomas B. Fitzpatrick of Boston, the well-known merchant,
-presided. On his right and left were seated the Hon. John Hannan,
-mayor of Ogdensburg, N. Y.; the Hon. Charles E. Gorman, Providence,
-R. I.; the Hon. Joseph H. O’Neil, president of the Federal
-Trust Co., Boston; Mr. M. F. Dooley, of the Union Trust Co.,
-Providence, R. I.; the Hon. Joseph F. O’Connell, congressman-elect,
-Boston; Mr. D. H. Tierney, Waterbury, Conn., and the Hon.
-Daniel O’Connor, Australia. The following letter was received

-<p class='c009'>It is a great disappointment to me not to be with you on that day

-(guest of Dr. M. F. Sullivan), Lawrence, Mass., and other
-gentlemen.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The after-dinner speeches were along the Society’s line of work
-and were of a most interesting nature. In his opening remarks,
-Mr. Fitzpatrick told of the early efforts of the Irish in Boston, and
-how their labors were an inspiration to the men and women of today.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Hon. Charles E. Gorman of Providence, R. I., followed the
-toastmaster with a story on the bravery and chivalry of the Irish
-race. The early conditions in New England, and Rhode Island
-in particular, were outlined, after which he spoke on the struggles
-of the Irish to get a footing and show their spirit. He paid a
-stirring tribute to the work accomplished by the Celts and the Teutons
-and how their spirit of liberty managed to overcome difficulties.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Hon. P. T. Barry of Chicago was well received when he arose
-to speak on the part the Irish took in the development of Chicago,
-the West and the great Northwest. His historical data was particularly
-interesting from the time of Chevalier McCarthy’s advent to
-the present. Congressman-elect Joseph F. O’Connell of Boston
-spoke on “The Part Played by the Irish in the Early History of
-Our Country.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. A. B. Sutherland of Lawrence, Mass., who is of Scottish
-blood, delivered an interesting speech, in which he told of what
-Irish civilization had done for Scotland and all northern Europe,
-and particularly of the spirit of liberty given to the Scotch by Irish
-example.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Rev. John J. Lyons illustrated how the Irish had done magnificent
-work in the interest of the church, and he made an earnest
-appeal for friendship on all sides and good will to mankind in
-general.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_11'>11</span>The Hon. Daniel O’Connor of Australia electrified the gathering
-with his witty remarks, and his narrative of the Irish influence in
-British literature and jurisprudence was unusually interesting.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. D. H. Tierney of Waterbury, Conn., spoke for a few minutes
-on the Irish in Rochambeau’s army, after which the Hon.
-Joseph H. O’Neil and Michael J. Jordan, both of Boston, addressed
-the gathering briefly.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Before the meeting adjourned the Society paid a tribute to President
-Roosevelt, who is an active member of the organization.
-The tribute took the form of the following preamble and resolution:</p>

-    <div><span class='sc'>Preamble and Resolution of Thanks and Appreciation From the American-Irish Historical Society.</span></div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c009'>At the annual meeting of the American-Irish Historical Society,
-held in Boston, Mass., on the evening of January 24, 1907, the following
-minute was unanimously adopted:</p>
-
-<p class='c009'><span class='sc'>Whereas</span>, The American-Irish Historical Society has learned of
-the excellent work of our distinguished fellow-member, the Hon.
-Theodore Roosevelt, as embodied in his article on “The Ancient
-Irish Sagas,” recently published, and believing that some appropriate
-action should be taken to show our appreciation of the study and
-research exhibited in the able contribution mentioned, it is</p>
-
-<p class='c009'><i>Resolved</i>, therefore, that in the opinion of this Society a splendid
-example is set by President Roosevelt in finding the time and
-opportunity, in the midst of his many duties and responsibilities, to
-devote attention to a subject dear to us. We heartily congratulate
-him upon the results he has so ably exemplified and set forth as the
-outcome of his researches into early Irish history.<a id='r1' /><a href='#f1' class='c014'><sup>[1]</sup></a></p>
-
-<div class='footnote' id='f1'>
-<p class='c011'><a href='#r1'>1</a>. A copy of the foregoing preamble and resolution was forwarded to President

-<p class='c011'>From the Hon. Franklin M. Danaher, Albany, N. Y.: “Dear Mr.
-Murray: I have your notice of the annual meeting and dinner of
-the American-Irish Historical Society in Boston on Thursday, January
-24, 1907. I have always been able to attend the annual meetings
-of the Society because they happened in New York coincident
-with my presence there on official business. Whether I can be in
-Boston on January 24th is somewhat problematical, but I will do
-so if I can. Do you expect President-General McGowan?”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>From Mr. Edward J. McGuire, New York City: “My Dear Mr.
-Murray: It seems ungracious not to attend the Historical Society’s
-dinner at Boston on Thursday evening, you Yankees have been so
-generous and loyal in coming to New York, but for me it is absolutely
-impossible to be present. I am engaged in a number of most
-important and engrossing professional matters, and I have in addition
-but recently returned from a week’s absence in the South. I
-am sure you will make my excuses. I hope that you are entirely
-recovered from your illness and that everything prospers with you
-and the Society. With kindest regards, Very truly yours, Edward
-J. McGuire.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>From the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Dennis J. O’Connell, M. A., S. T. D.,
-rector of the Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C.:
-“Mr. T. H. Murray, Secretary-General, Sea View, Mass. My Dear
-Sir: I desire to thank you very cordially for the notice you sent me
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>regarding the annual dinner, and to say at the same time with sincere
-regret that I am afraid I cannot assist, for the following day,
-January the 25th, is the feast of our Faculty of Theology at which
-I must be present. Wishing all a pleasant time, I remain, Very sincerely
-yours, D. J. O’Connell.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>From the Hon. Edward A. Moseley, Washington, D. C.: “I
-regret very much that it is impossible for me to attend the annual
-meeting of the American-Irish Historical Society. I really wish
-that the Society would have its next meeting in Washington; I believe
-it would be a good plan from every point of view. I had
-fully intended to get to the coming meeting on the 24th, but I went
-to Boston over the holidays, and the result is that I have as bad a
-cold as I ever had in my life, and I am afraid to leave Washington.
-Do have the next annual meeting in Washington, and I will contribute
-in every way to make it a success, and will devote myself
-to the work. With all cordial regards, sincerely yours, E. A.

-
-<p class='c011'>The Irish race, both here and in the old world, has suffered so
-much in the way of misrepresentation at the hands of English and
-pro-English writers, its merits have been so minimized and its
-defects so magnified, that it is almost a hopeless task to attempt the
-refutation of even a tithe of the falsehoods.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It is only when a writer offers an easily accessible authority for
-his statements that the general reader can take the time and trouble,
-if so disposed, to investigate the reference and verify the accuracy
-or honesty of the author who professes to have quoted truly.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge has written, and the <cite>Century Magazine</cite>
-has published an article on “The Distribution of Ability in the
-United States,” in which he exalts the English race at the expense
-of some others, and depreciates the Irish race, with or without malice
-prepense, in a manner which is, to say the least, remarkable.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Lodge deals in some general statements easily susceptible of
-disproof, as when he says that “there was virtually no Irish immigration
-during the colonial period, and indeed none of consequence
-until the present century was well advanced.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He offers no authority for this absurd statement; so it may be
-assumed that he ignorantly believes it true. Perhaps he also honestly
-believes in the race called “Scotch-Irish,” whom he defines as
-“descendants of the Scotch <i>and English</i> who settled in the North of
-Ireland.” Let these things pass. We are concerned only with the
-accuracy and honesty of Mr. Lodge’s quotations when he refers to a
-specific authority for facts and figures and professes to be governed
-by that authority.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In order to classify the distribution of “ability,” Mr. Lodge says
-that he “took <cite>Appleton’s Encyclopedia of American Biography</cite> in
-six volumes, one of the largest and most recent works upon the subject,
-and classified the persons mentioned therein who were citizens
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>of the United States according to occupation, birthplace and race
-extraction.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Lodge says that he found the work large and laborious. We
-can confirm that statement; for we also have taken the six volumes
-of <cite>Appleton’s</cite> and have gone conscientiously through the 14,000 and
-odd names therein recorded, to see if that otherwise valuable publication
-had really given the Irish race such an astonishingly poor
-record as Mr. Lodge’s tables show. We find that it has not. We
-find that Mr. Lodge and his authority differ so astoundingly, on
-almost every point, that his deductions are absolutely worthless because
-his statements are so utterly untrue.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In the matter of quantity, <cite>Appleton’s</cite> gives to the Irish race a list
-nearly one hundred per cent greater than Mr. Lodge professes to
-have found in its pages. On the score of quality, taking Mr. Lodge’s
-own test of merit, <cite>Appleton’s</cite> gives about 300 per cent more to the
-race than Mr. Lodge accords it.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Lodge classifies race by the paternal side alone, which is
-probably fair enough for practical purposes, and says:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“In a large number of cases, especially where the extraction is not
-English, the race stock is given in the dictionary. In a still larger
-number of instances the name and the place of birth furnish unmistakable
-evidence as to race. That error should be avoided in this
-classification is not to be expected, but I am perfectly satisfied that
-the race distribution is in the main correct. Such errors as exist
-tend, I think, here as elsewhere in these statistics, to balance one
-another, and the net result is, I believe, so substantially accurate as
-to have very real value, and to throw a great deal of light on what
-we owe in the way of ability to each of the various races who settled
-the United States.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He counts as original settlers all who came to this country before
-the date of the adoption of the Constitution, A. D. 1789; those who
-came after that date are classified as “immigrants.” Taking the
-<cite>Encyclopedia</cite> as his authority, he examines the birth or race extraction
-of 14,243 persons therein named as having achieved sufficient
-distinction to deserve mention. As a result he finds that over 10,000
-of the number should be credited to the “English” race.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It is not worth while to inquire into the accuracy of that estimate,
-since Mr. Lodge’s treatment of another race sufficiently disproves
-his claims to accuracy on any score.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_17'>17</span>In Tables “D” and “H,” covering respectively the original settlers
-and the immigrants, he gives the number of men of the Irish
-race who have achieved the distinction of a place in <cite>Appleton’s</cite>.
-Nowhere, apparently, is any allowance made either for the distinguished
-descendants of the original Irish settlers, distinguished
-or obscure themselves, nor for the distinguished children of undistinguished
-immigrants since 1789.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Charles Carroll of Carrollton is, we suppose, credited to the Irish
-of pre-Constitution days, and Thomas Addis Emmet to the “immigrant”
-class, but where does Mr. Lodge place the distinguished descendants
-of both? Where does he place the distinguished sons of
-obscure fathers, such men as Andrew Jackson and Robert Fulton?
-Certainly not among the race to which, according to <cite>Appleton</cite>, they
-belong, for they have no recognition in his “double star” table, to
-be described hereafter. Do they go to swell the ranks of the 10,000
-English or those of the mixed and mythical “Scotch-Irish”?</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>What does he do with Philip Sheridan, who being neither an
-“immigrant” nor descended from pre-Constitution ancestors, is in a
-worse case than his namesake, Philip Nolan, being a “man without
-a race?” We cannot believe that Mr. Lodge ever intended committing
-such a palpable absurdity, because if carried to its logical
-conclusion, it would apply equally to distinguished men of all races.
-Mr. Lodge himself, for all that <cite>Appleton’s</cite> tells us to the contrary,
-never had a pre-Constitution ancestor, and has, therefore, no right
-to class himself among the 10,000 “English,” as he presumably does.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Lodge has a delightfully simple method of determining the
-relative values of great men. It is by noting how much of pictorial
-glory is awarded to each in the <cite>Encyclopedia</cite>. Persons whose biographical
-sketches are not illustrated with a portrait are not counted
-in at all.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Those who have a vignette portrait are classified as “single stars.”
-The truly great, who have full-page portraits, are called “double
-stars”—of these there are 58 among the whole 14,243.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Lodge confesses that encyclopediac fame is hardly just in giving
-double star honors to William Gilmore Simms and shutting out
-Hawthorne, Poe and Lowell, but Fame is notoriously capricious of
-her favors; which is why, perhaps, such authors as John Hay, T. W.
-Parsons, Theodore Roosevelt and many others are sent pictureless
-to posterity, while Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth and Mrs. Ann S.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_18'>18</span>Stephens are immortalized in becoming wood-cuts. Mr. Lodge
-himself shines as a “single-star,” as does also Mr. E. P. Roe.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>But even in his stellar classification Mr. Lodge makes a singular
-mistake, again on the wrong side of the Irish account. His “totals
-by race extraction” allow only one double star to “Irish.” Yet
-his cyclopedic authority has full-page steel engravings of the following
-six, all credited to the Irish race, without any hint of a
-mythical Scotch mixture: Chester A. Arthur, son of Rev. William
-Arthur of Antrim; John C. Calhoun, son of Patrick and grandson
-of James of Donegal; Robert Fulton, son of a Kilkenny man;
-Andrew Jackson, son of Andrew of Carrickfergus; James K. Polk,
-descendant of Irish Polk or “Pollock”; Philip H. Sheridan, race
-not mentioned but pretty well known.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Lodge is equally reckless of fact when he attempts to count
-the “single stars” of the Irish race. He finds only thirteen of these
-among the early settler class and eleven among the “immigrants”—twenty-four
-in all. Here are the names of sixty-five, given by
-<cite>Appleton’s</cite>, and not including such men of the Irish race as Lawrence
-Barrett, Lawrence and Philip Kearny, J. A. MacGahan, Commodore
-Macdonough and others, whose race is not specified in the
-cyclopedia:</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>Prendergast’s <cite>Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland</cite> says: “Ireland
-was now like an empty hive, prepared to receive its new swarm.
-One of the earliest efforts of the government towards replanting the
-parts reserved to themselves was to turn towards the lately expatriated
-English in America. In the early part of the year 1651, when
-the country, by their own description to the Council of State, was a
-scene of unparalleled waste and ruin, the Commissioners for Ireland
-affectionately urged Mr. Harrison, then a minister of the Gospel in
-New England, to come over to Ireland, which he would find experimentally
-was a comfortable seed plot (so they said) for his labours.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_31'>31</span>“On his return to New England, it was hoped he might encourage
-those whose hearts the Lord should stir up to look back again towards
-their native country, to return and plant in Ireland. There
-they should have freedom of worship, and the (mundane) advantages
-of convenient lands, fit for husbandry, in healthful air, near
-to maritime towns or secure places, with such encouragement from
-the state as should demonstrate that it was their chief care to plant
-Ireland with a godly seed and generation.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Mr. Harrison was unable to come; but some movement appears
-to have been made towards a plantation from America, as proposals
-were received in January, 1655, for the planting of the town of
-Sligo and lands thereabouts, with families from New England; and
-lands on the Mile line, together with the two little islands called
-Oyster Island and Coney Island (containing 200 acres), were leased
-for one year, from 10th of April, 1655, for the use of such English
-families as should come from New England in America, in order to
-their transplantation.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“In 1656 several families, arriving from New England at Limerick,
-had the excise of tobacco brought with them for the use of
-themselves and families remitted; and other families in May and
-July of that year, who had come over from New England to plant,
-were received as tenants of state lands near Garristown, in the
-county of Dublin, about fifteen miles north of the capital.”</p>

-Revere jumped from his foam-covered steed in front of a house in

-Fort William and Mary loomed up in the distance, reminding them
-of the fact that they were close on to their quarry. When within a
-rod or so of the shore their vessel grounded in the shallow water,
-and in silence they waded to land, mounted the fort, surprised the
-garrison and found themselves victorious without the loss of a man
-or even of a drop of blood.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Securing the prisoners, the patriots at once broke into the magazine,
-where they found one hundred pounds of powder. The powder,
-along with one hundred stand of small arms, was put aboard
-of their craft and taken back to Durham, where it was buried under
-the pulpit of the old meeting-house in front of Major Sullivan’s
-house.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Six months later the battle of Bunker Hill came off, and it was
-this same powder, captured by Major Sullivan at Fort William
-and Mary, that enabled the Americans to kill so many of the British
-in that historic encounter. Powder was exceedingly scarce in the
-patriot army, and Sullivan, anticipating that such might be the case,
-filled “old John Demerett’s ox-cart” with the powder he had buried
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_34'>34</span>under Parson Adams’ pulpit and sent it over the sixty-odd miles of
-rocky road to Boston, where it was destined to do such good service
-in the cause of liberty.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It was the news of Sullivan’s capture of Fort William and Mary
-that precipitated the Revolution. After such a daring deed Lexington
-was a foregone conclusion. In the words of another, “Sullivan
-was the first man in active rebellion against the British government,
-and he drew with him the province he lived in.” In an address on
-the history of this part of New Hampshire, Rev. Quint, of Dover,
-referring to the attack on the fort, said: “The daring character of
-the assault cannot be over-estimated. It was an organized investment
-of a royal fortress where the king’s flag was flying and where
-the king’s garrison met them with muskets and artillery. It was
-four months before Lexington, and Lexington was resistance to
-attack, while this was deliberate assault.”</p>

-<p class='c011'>Dominick Lynch was a member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick,
-New York, as early as 1786; a prominent merchant; was of
-the firm Lynch &amp; Stoughton, New York. A biographical sketch of
-Mr. Lynch was published some years ago in the <cite>American Catholic
-Historical Researches</cite>. It was written by Richard H. Clarke,
-LL. D., and treated the subject at great length. According to Dr.
-Clarke, Mr. Lynch was born in Galway, Ireland, in 1754.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He married his cousin, Jane Lynch, a native of Dublin. Shortly
-after, Dominick and his wife went to reside at Bruges, in Flanders,
-where he established a commercial house, a branch of his father’s
-in Galway. He amassed a handsome fortune in Bruges and three
-of his children were born there. While engaged in business in
-Bruges he became acquainted with Don Thomas Stoughton, a merchant
-having commercial relations with France and Spain. Eventually,
-Lynch and Stoughton formed a co-partnership for the purpose
-of conducting business in America. The articles of co-partnership
-were dated March 10, 1783; the capital agreed upon was
-£7,500, of which amount Lynch furnished £5,000 and Stoughton,
-£2,500.</p>

-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_35'>35</span>Stoughton, in pursuance of the agreement, came to New York
-City and opened the business house of Lynch &amp; Stoughton. Lynch
-visited London and Galway, and in 1785 sailed for America, reaching
-New York June 20 of that year. Stoughton was a bachelor,
-and Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, their three children and a number of servants,
-went to reside with him. Later, Stoughton was made Spanish
-consul at New York. Eventually, differences broke out between the
-partners, the firm was dissolved and each member sued the other.
-These two suits in chancery, Stoughton <i>vs.</i> Lynch and Lynch <i>vs.</i>
-Stoughton, were tried before Chancellor Kent and after pending for
-over twenty years, were finally decided adverse to Lynch.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The latter had to pay Stoughton, besides fines and costs, $25,076.
-After the dissolution of the firm, Lynch retired in affluent circumstances
-largely on account of the wealth he had amassed in Bruges.
-It was said of him in New York that “he dispensed a bountiful and
-refined hospitality.” He was an earnest Catholic, gave liberally of
-his means to forward church work and was one of the representative
-men who signed the “Catholic Address” to George Washington. It
-is said of Lynch that upon arriving in New York, in 1785, he
-brought a large amount of specie with him and the advent of a man
-with such extensive financial resources created quite a stir. He was
-at one time offered, for what would today be considered a ridiculously
-small sum, a farm of twenty acres near City Hall, New York.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He declined to buy the property, but with the same amount of
-money purchased 697 acres near Fort Stanwix on the Mohawk
-River. Before the year 1800 he had increased his holdings there
-to about 2,000 acres. As early as 1796, he laid this property out
-in village lots, and called the place Lynchville. Later, he changed
-the name to Rome, perhaps in honor of the Eternal City. Between
-the years 1800 and 1820, he built a woolen mill, a cotton factory
-and a saw-mill at Rome, which place he had founded. It is said
-that the southeast corner of Fort Stanwix was levelled to make room
-for a mansion erected by him. In 1797, Dominick purchased an
-estate in West Chester County, N. Y., bordering Long Island
-Sound. Here he built a magnificent stone residence after the style
-of chateaus he had seen in Flanders. This was his home for the
-remainder of his life. He continued to dispense “munificent hospitality,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_36'>36</span>took a leading part in the social events of the metropolis,
-and manifested to the end a zealous and active zeal in the growth
-of the Catholic church in New York.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He died in 1825 and his widow in 1849. At his death his children
-were thirteen in number, <i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">i. e.</span></i>—James, Anastasia, Anthony, Dominick,
-Alexander, Margaret, Jasper, Jane, Henry, Harriet, Louisa,
-Edward and William. By the marriage of these children, the family
-has become allied with many of the old families of New York
-and Pennsylvania, including the Tillotsons, Shippens, Leas, Laurences,
-Nortons, Luquers, Pringles, Maitlands, Harveys, Ridgways,
-etc. James Lynch, the oldest of Dominick’s thirteen children, resided
-in Rome, N. Y., represented Oneida County in the state legislature
-for several years, and was later a judge of the Court of Sessions,
-and of the Marine, now City, Court, of New York. Dominick
-Lynch, 2d, at the time of, and after, his father’s death became
-a prominent merchant in New York City. This second Dominick
-was spoken of as “the most fashionable man in New York.” He
-made quite a reputation as proprietor of Lynch’s Chateau Margeaux,
-Lynch’s Sauterne and Lynch’s Lucca Oil. It is said of him
-that he “coined money and spent it with the freedom of a prince,”
-and that he “went into the best society.” He resided on Greenwich
-Street “opposite the Battery.” He died in 1844. He “was a
-Roman Catholic as his father had been.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Dominick Lynch, 3d, grandson of the first Dominick, was a man
-of great public spirit, an elegant conversationalist and the possessor
-of musical talents. He became a naval officer, served under Perry
-in the Mexican war, and was also in the Civil War. He died in
-1884. Dominick Lynch, 4th, was a lieutenant in the Fourth U. S.

-<p class='c011'>Otsego Lake, in central New York, possesses not only the charm
-of romance due to the pen of Fenimore Cooper, but also an historical
-interest. In the year 1779 an expedition was sent against the hostile
-Indians around Lake Cayuga. A brigade under the command of
-Gen. James Clinton, the brother of George Clinton and father of
-DeWitt Clinton (each of whom held the office of governor of New

-
-<p class='c011'>The Susquehanna at its source is a very narrow stream and did not

-</div>
-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c002'>
-    <div>BY MARTIN I. J. GRIFFIN, PHILADELPHIA, PA.</div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>Not only were Catholics—L’Enfant, the Frenchman, and Dermott,
-the Irishman—the planners of the Federal City, Washington,
-but a Catholic, James Hoban, a native of Ireland, was the architect
-and builder of the president’s palace, as it was first called, the president’s
-house as later designated, but better known as the White
-House.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Hoban was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1758. When only
-twenty-two years old he won a medal from the Dublin Society for
-“drawings of brackets, stairs, roof, etc.” It is now in possession
-of his grandson, James Hoban, of Washington. He came to this
-country after the revolution and soon became known as an architect
-and builder.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>When, in 1791, Washington visited South Carolina, writes Mr.
-Griffin, Colonel Laurens and others recommended to him the abilities
-as an architect and the executive worth of James Hoban, the Kilkenny
-Irishman, who had, since his arrival, added to the growth
-and adornment of the neighborhood by the exercise of that skill
-and ingenuity which the new country so much needed.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Hoban went to Washington city and submitted to the commissioners
-a plan for the president’s palace. His plan was accepted
-immediately and without hesitation after a view of the drawings
-which were submitted.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Hoban’s plan of the president’s palace being adopted, the selection
-of the site on which to erect it required the personal attention of
-Washington himself. So on August 2, 1792, the commissioners and
-President Washington “viewed the ground, particularly at the place
-for the palace. It has given him considerable trouble and difficulty
-to fix his mind,” wrote the commissioners.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Hoban’s design of the president’s house contemplated a central
-building with wings. The central portion was executed according
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_39'>39</span>to his designs and under his supervision (we are told he received
-300 guineas a year for his services)—both before and after the damage
-by the British in 1814. The north portico was not completed
-until 1820, and then according to Hoban’s plan. Its popular name
-of the White House is due to his thought of painting the brownstone
-fronting the exterior walls to conceal the discoloration by smoke
-and fire.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Cornelius McDermott Roe, Patrick McDermott Roe and John
-Delahunty had the contract for all the brick and stone work on the
-president’s house for one season, and John Kearney did all the plastering
-on the capitol.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Thus far in our investigations we have found that a Catholic was
-one of the commissioners; that two Catholics planned the city; that
-a Catholic designed and built the president’s house and also superintended
-the erection of the capitol, which three Catholics contracted
-to build, and another did the plastering, while Patrick Whalen dug
-the cellar. Surely Irish Catholics seem to have had a goodly share
-in the foundation of the Capital City.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Mr. Hoban died on December 9, 1831, and was buried in St.
-Patrick’s Cemetery. In May, 1863, his grandson and namesake,
-James Hoban, Esq., purchased a lot in Mount Olivet Cemetery,
-near Washington, and the remains of James Hoban and others of
-the family were removed thereto.</p>

-</div>

-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c002'>
-    <div>BY JAMES L. O’NEILL, ELIZABETH, N. J.</div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>Patrick Barber was born in County Longford, Ireland, and was
-the father of Col. Francis Barber, who was a gallant soldier of the
-American Revolution. The colonel himself was born (1751) in
-Princeton, N. J., and long resided in Elizabethtown, N. J.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The father, Patrick, had come over in the same ship with Clinton.
-They are said to have been kinsmen. After a perilous voyage lasting
-some four months, they finally reached New York, where Clinton
-remained, Barber continuing on to Princeton, N. J.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Patrick Barber resided in Princeton for years and here were born
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_40'>40</span>four of his sons—Francis, John, William and Joseph. Col. Francis
-Barber graduated from Princeton College after securing for himself
-a distinguished reputation for his classical attainments. As we may
-infer from the character of Elizabethtown’s first settlers, much
-attention was paid to the subject of education by the people. And
-to this we may attribute the strong influence which for a long time
-it maintained in the province. We find in 1767, a Mr. Pemberton
-and a Mr. Reeves at the head of a school. In 1769, they left the
-institution and Francis Barber was appointed to fill the vacancy. He
-continued in the position until the commencement of the war, a
-period when teachers and many scholars left the quiet pursuits of
-science and rushed to arms for the defence of the country.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In 1776, Mr. Barber received from Congress a commission as
-major of the Third Battalion of New Jersey troops, and at the close
-of the year he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the Third Jersey
-Regiment. Subsequently, he became assistant inspector-general
-under Baron Steuben, who expressed a high opinion of his ability
-and services. Colonel Barber was in constant service during the
-whole war. With his regiment he served under General Schuyler
-at the north. He was at the battles of Ticonderoga, Trenton,
-Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth, and came
-near losing his life in the latter.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He was at one time adjutant-general under Sullivan. He served
-with distinction in the Wyoming Valley and Indian troubles. He
-was actively engaged in the battle of Springfield. In 1781, he was
-at the capture of the British army at Yorktown. Colonel Barber,
-although not more than thirty years at his death, had twice married,
-one of his helpmates, being the daughter of Moses Ogden, whose
-residence was the old town home that still stands on the north side of
-Elizabeth Avenue below Reed Street.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>So close was his friendship with Lafayette that they exchanged
-swords. The sword Lafayette gave Barber is now in the Washington
-headquarters at Newburgh, N. Y., while the one Barber gave in
-exchange is preserved in Paris. Speaking of men noted in the military
-world, a few years ago, General Stryker, president of the Society
-of the Cincinnati, at the meeting of that organization, which was
-attended by William P. Barber, said that he considered Colonel
-Barber an ideal soldier. W. P. Barber is a great great-grandson of
-Colonel Barber. Colonel Barber was the tutor of Alexander Hamilton.</p>

-  <h2 class='c004'>CONCERNING THE IRISH MONTGOMERYS.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c005'>In the <cite>New York Herald</cite>, September 10, 1905, is a statement by
-“L. W., London, England,” giving many details of interest concerning
-the ancestry and family of Gen. Richard Montgomery. The
-statement appears in the genealogical department of the <cite>Herald</cite>, of
-that date, which department is conducted by Mrs. Clara H. Manning.
-The statement is in answer to a correspondent and is as follows:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“H. W. N.’s family tradition is at fault. Gen. Richard Montgomery
-had no sister Elizabeth. His only sister was Sarah, wife
-of Charles Jones, fourth Viscount Planelagh, and mother of thirteen
-children. General Montgomery had brothers, John and Alexander.
-John died unmarried in Lisbon, 1786. His administration is in the
-Prerogative Court of Ireland. Alexander, the brother, was captain
-in the Forty-third Regiment and member of the Irish Parliament for
-County Donegal; died unmarried September 29, 1800. His will is
-in the Prerogative Court of Ireland. Lady Planelagh and her three
-brothers were the children of Thomas Montgomery, of Swords, near
-Dublin, eldest son of Alexander Montgomery, of Ballyleek, who
-married Mary Francklyn.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Thomas Montgomery had several brothers and sisters. His
-brother, Robert, of Brandram, County Monaghan, married Sarah
-Maxwell. This is the nearest Maxwell connection. Thomas had
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_42'>42</span>many cousins. Ulster has many Montgomerys of other lines. It
-is said the Earl of Mount Alexander could ride at the head of a
-regiment all Montgomerys. At one time in the Irish Parliament
-were six Montgomerys all over six feet in height and the handsomest
-men in Dublin.... By far [one of] the most noted
-family of modern times is that of the Montgomerys of Grey Abbey,
-County Down, a famous military stock.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“For all this they have a pedigree made in the eighteenth century
-to take them on to the famous old Grey Abbey stock of the early
-Ulster settlement. As a fact, they are descended from a thrifty
-yeoman who purchased Grey Abbey after the old stock had died out.
-No American Montgomerys can prove any near connection with
-either the Montgomerys of Ballyleek or the Earls of Mount Alexander.
-The nearest probable American connection is not of the
-Montgomery name, being that of the descendants of Thomas Patterson,
-who emigrated from County Donegal to Philadelphia at the time
-of the Irish rebellion. Thomas Patterson was grandson of Alleriah
-Montgomery, said by tradition to be a cousin of the general. Her
-marriage certificate in the diocese of Raphoe indicates her as coming
-from the vicinity of the general’s family, being about his age and
-not belonging to any other of the Montgomery families in that part
-of Ireland.”</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>No section of the Union presents a wider or more diversified field
-for historical inquiry than the Carolinas and Virginia.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>All the territory from the Delaware River south to Cape Fear
-was named “Virginia” by the English, and it is generally supposed
-that it was in the present state of Virginia the earliest colonists
-landed. It was, however, the Indians of North Carolina who were
-the first to set eyes on the white men who came to America with the
-famous navigator, Sir Walter Raleigh, in the year 1584.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Among these first-comers to the Carolinas Irishmen are found,
-and in the resistance to the authority and encroachments of the
-British organized in that section many years later, the sons of Erin
-and their descendants are recorded as having played an honorable
-and prominent part.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In Hakluyt’s <cite>Voyages, Navigations, Traffiques and Discouveries
-of the English Nation</cite> are found some interesting facts relating to the
-first voyages of the English, under Raleigh and his lieutenants, to
-the western world. Richard Hakluyt was one of those who accompanied
-Raleigh on his first voyage of discovery in 1584. His
-<cite>Voyages and Discouveries</cite>, now a work of extreme rarity (it was published
-in London over 300 years ago), is by all odds the most celebrated
-book ever written on the subject, and forms the basis of all
-true history of the colonization of the Carolinas and Virginia. It
-is printed in the old English text of the sixteenth century, which renders
-its examination a task as laborious as it is interesting. The
-writer has examined the copy of this famous work in the Astor
-Library, and we are sure our readers will be interested in learning
-something of its contents at this stage.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The second voyage was undertaken by Sir Richard Greenville in
-the year 1585. The company comprised 107 persons. Hakluyt’s
-great work (page 254, volume 3) contains “an account of the particulars
-of the employments of the Englishmen left in Virginia by
-Sir Richard Greenville under the charge of Master Ralph Lane,
-general of the same, from August 17, 1585, to June 18, 1586.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It will be observed that Greenville refers to “the Englishmen
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_44'>44</span>left in Virginia.” This would lead the ordinary reader to the conclusion
-that the expedition was comprised of Englishmen only, but
-such an assumption would be erroneous. In those days Ireland had
-a merchant marine of her own, and the ships which sailed from Irish
-ports, and indeed not a few of those whose home ports were in England,
-were manned by Irish seamen. (See Marmion’s <i>Maritime
-Ports of Ireland</i>.) What more natural, therefore, than to expect
-that Irish names should be found among the lists of these “Englishmen?”
-All of the early histories of the southern colonies refer to
-the first settlers as English. No suggestion is ever made, as far as
-the writer can find, that these first-comers may not all have been
-English, or that any Irish people were amongst them. Yet it is a
-fact that Irishmen came too in search of adventure, and no better
-testimony in support of that assertion can be adduced than the lists
-of the names of the persons who came on these colonizing expeditions.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Here are some of the names from Greenvilles’ list, as they were
-written down at the time: Edward Kelley, R. Courtney, Hugh
-Rogers, Thomas Fox, Darby “Glande,” Edward Nugent, John “Costigo”

-Young, Thomas Hesket, Richard Humphrey and R. Griffin. Many
-of these, undoubtedly, were natives of Ireland. This is said to have
-been the first English colony that settled in America, the previous
-expedition having returned with its entire company.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>They entered Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic by what is now
-known as New Inlet, and then landed at Roanoke Island, thence
-crossed over to the mainland to the eastern portion of North Carolina,
-just south of Norfolk, Va. They followed the course of the Chowan
-River for a short distance, and soon came in contact with the Indians.
-Hakluyt’s work contains an interesting narrative of the voyage and of
-the explorations of the party in Virginia, written by Ralph Lane, in
-which long accounts are given of their encounters with the savage
-Indians. In his account of one fight, on the first of June, 1586, he
-refers to the bravery of “one of my Irish boys,” who shot Pemisapan,
-the king of the Indians, “athwart the buttocks with my petronell.”
-The Irish boy’s shot did not, however, bring down the Indian king,
-and the wily redskin, with a number of his warriors, managed to
-escape into the dense forest.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>But then, another Irishman, who was not afraid to face the Indian
-band singlehanded, was there to finish the work of the youthful
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_45'>45</span>adventurer from Erin, “for,” writes Lane, “in the end an Irishman
-serving me, one Nugent, and the deputy provost undertook him”—that
-is to say, volunteered to capture or kill the Indian king—“and
-I, in some doubt lest we had lost both the king and my man, by our
-own negligence to have been intercepted by the savages, we met him
-returning out of the woods with Pemisapan’s head in his hands.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The place where the bold Irishman, Edward Nugent, and the
-nameless youth thus earned such prominent mention in early
-American history has been located as in Chowan County, near the
-present town of Edenton, N. C.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It seems that in all of the early voyages of the English to the
-American continent the adventurous Irishman was present. On
-Raleigh’s first voyage the largest ship was commanded by a Captain
-Butler, and Captain Edward Hayes commanded a vessel in the expedition
-of Sir H. Gilbert to Newfoundland in 1583. Sixteen
-years earlier, 1567, Robert Barrett and John Garrett commanded
-ships in the expedition to Mexico under Sir John Hawkins. There
-is nothing to show that these captains were of the Irish nation, but
-their names have been for centuries so common in Ireland that we
-venture to include them in this category.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In 1568, when Hawkins arrived in the Gulf of Mexico, he put
-ashore a company comprising 68 men under Miles Philips, a little
-north of Panuco. From the curiously-worded narrative of Miles
-Philips, entitled “The voyages from Panuco, thence to Mexico, and
-afterwards to sundry other places, having remained in the counterey
-15 or 16 yeeres together, and noted many things most worthy of observation,”
-which is contained in Hakluyt’s third volume, we glean
-some interesting information.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The whole company was captured by a band of Indians and Spaniards,
-and immediately haled before the governor, who “visited them
-with the terrors of the Inquisition.” John Gray, John and Thomas
-Browne, John Mooney, James Collier and John Rider were sentenced
-to receive 200 lashes on horseback and to serve eight years
-in the galleys; others of the company received various terms of
-servitude, while others were condemned to serve as servants or slaves
-in the monasteries. Three were condemned to be burned to ashes,
-and the inhuman sentence was carried out in the market place of the
-City of Mexico on the day preceding Good Friday in the year 1575.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The three unfortunates were George Riuely (Reilly), Peter Momfrie
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_46'>46</span>and “Cornelius.” Philips was unacquainted with the full name
-of the latter, but in order to distinguish him from another of the
-party who bore the same Christian name, he refers to him as “Cornelius
-the Irishman.” In relating the circumstances of his subsequent
-escape, Philips stated that several of the adventurers, after the
-expiration of their terms of servitude, remained in Mexico, married
-native women, and some prospered in the new country.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The same volume of Hakluyt (page 286) contains the story of
-“The Fourth Voyage, made to Virginia in 1587, wherein was transported
-the Second Colony,” written by the commander, Captain
-John White. The narrative runs in part:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“On the first day of July (1587) we weighed anchor at Musketo’s
-Bay, upon the fourth side of St. John’s Island, where were left behind
-two Irishmen of our company, Darbie Glaven and Dennis Carrell,
-thence bearing along the coast of St. John’s till evening.” The
-vessels anchored in the bay for the purpose of securing a supply of
-salt, which Simon Fernando, who was with Raleigh on the first expedition,
-had informed White could be procured on the island. The
-two hardy Irishmen, Glaven and Carrell, were selected to go ashore
-and procure the necessary supply. They proceeded inland, but,
-during their absence, Fernando, for some reason that does not appear,
-persuaded the commander to weigh anchor, and before the two unfortunates
-had returned to the shore, the vessels were far on their way.
-It would be interesting if we could follow the fortunes of the two
-Irish castaways among the Indians of the Danish West Indies, but
-history contains no further account of them.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In the following September, when one of the vessels of the expedition
-was on its return to England, she encountered a great storm.
-The crew and passengers were in sore straits on account of the lack
-of food and water, expecting to perish by famine at sea. On October
-16, however, when they had almost given up in despair, they sighted
-land, which proved to be the coast of Kerry. By the aid of “a
-hulke of Dublin” they entered Smerwick Bay, where the inhabitants
-at once succored them. White relates that the whole company was
-brought ashore at “Dingen a Cos,” where the sick sailors and passengers
-were taken care of by the local doctor.</p>
-<div  class='figcenter id001'>

-<div class='ic001'>
-<p>HON. JOHN S. WHALEN.<br /><br />New York Secretary of State.<br /><br />A MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY.</p>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_47'>47</span>The writer of the narrative pays a well-merited tribute to the
-inhabitants of Smerwick and Dingle for their timely and spontaneous
-aid. They stayed at Smerwick for over two weeks; there
-White distributed some potato plants among the people, “the first
-ever seen in Europe.” It is generally supposed that it was Raleigh
-who first brought the potato plant to Europe, but according to
-White’s account, it was he who introduced it, and that it was the
-inhabitants of the County of Kerry who were the first Europeans
-to taste the esculent tuber.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Could John White, who wrote the official account of, and commanded
-this expedition, have been an Irishman? His story of the
-fifth voyage is dated “from my house at Newtown, in Kilmore, the
-fourth of February, 1593.” There is no such place as Kilmore in
-England, but there are several such places in Ireland, and the name
-is distinctively Irish. The town of Dingle, County Kerry, has always
-been and even is still known to the inhabitants as “Dingen a
-Cos.” It will be observed that White referred to the town by its
-Irish, not by its Anglicized appellation, which, to some, may be suggestive
-that a knowledge of the Gaelic language, which, happily, most
-Irishmen spoke in those days, was one of the accomplishments of
-the historian mariner.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>And is it not highly probable that White and his officers, who came
-to form such friendly intercourse with the fisher-folk of the Kerry
-coast, may have informed them of “the great land beyond the sea,”
-with the result that, on his subsequent voyages to Virginia, he was accompanied
-by not a few of the hardy natives of the Kingdom of
-Kerry?</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>After the forfeiture of the immense estates of the Desmonds in
-Munster in 1584, Raleigh came into possession of 12,000 acres in
-Cork, Waterford and Tipperary. He built and made his home in
-the castle of Lismore, and soon after established at the neighboring
-ports of Waterford and Youghal a large trade in lumber and barrel
-staves with France and Spain. His ships were largely manned by
-Irish sailors, and it is entirely within the bounds of probability that
-Raleigh impressed into his transatlantic crews some of the sailors
-and fishermen of the Munster coast.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In the charter which Raleigh received from the English crown on
-March 27, 1585, empowering him to hold the lands which he had
-colonized in America and apportion them among the colonists, reference
-is made to “persons from England and Ireland,” thus showing
-that Irishmen were among the first white settlers of the western
-world.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_48'>48</span>Among those who landed in North Carolina from White’s fourth
-expedition, and “remayned to inhabite there,” were Thomas Coleman,
-Edward and Winifred Powell, James Hyndes, William and Henry
-Browne, Thomas Ellis, Michael Millet, James Lafie, Maurice Allen,
-Richard Berry, Dennis and Margery Harvie, William Waters, Martin
-Sutton, Hugh Patterson, Thomas Humphrey and John and Brian
-“Wyles.” Most of these names are common to Britain as well as
-to Ireland, but, without doubt, some of them were natives of
-Ireland.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>These colonists all either perished from famine or were slain by
-the savage enemy. Some are supposed to have sought asylum among
-the Hatteras Indians at Croatoan, who were friendly to the whites.
-Lawson, one of the historians of North Carolina, writing in 1714 of
-the natives of Croatoan, relates how the Indians told him that some
-of their ancestors were white people and “could talk in a book as we
-do,” and that many of the Hatteras Indians had gray eyes, which are
-known only among whites.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In his account of the fifth voyage, White tells of their arrival at
-the mouth of the Roanoke on August 17, 1590. A great storm raged;
-the ship’s boats were tossed about at the mercy of the waves, and
-eleven of the company drowned, among them Edward Kelly, Edward
-Kilborne and Robert Coleman. These three are mentioned as
-“among 7 of the chiefest men of the expedition.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Hawk, one of the historians of North Carolina, says that “in
-1666 the Lords Proprietors had agents employed in seeking emigrants
-on the continent of Europe, and in Ireland, Scotland and the
-West Indies,” and the same author in referring to the divers religious
-beliefs professed by the people of North Carolina (about 1700),
-refers to “the Irish Romanists.” It is to be regretted that we have
-no means of tracing the names or careers of any of those “Irish Romanists.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Hewatt’s <cite>Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Colonies
-of South Carolina and Georgia</cite> (published at London in the year
-1776), is referred to by historians as an authoritative work. In
-this book many references are made to the early Irish settlers of the
-Carolinas. The author describes the dreadful extremities to which
-the poor settlers in the vicinity of Charlestown (now Charleston), S.
-C., were reduced in the year 1667.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>During the government of Sir John Yeamans a civil disturbance
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_49'>49</span>broke out among the colonists, which threatened the ruin of the settlement.
-“The Proprietors,” says Hewatt, “were unable to furnish the
-colony with regular supplies, and the spots of sandy and barren land
-poorly rewarded their toil. Many of them were unskilled, and the
-European grain which they were accustomed to sow soon proved suitable
-to neither soil nor climate. The settlers began to murmur
-against the Proprietors and to curse the day they left their native land
-to starve in a wilderness. While they gathered oysters for subsistence
-with one hand, they were obliged to carry the musket in the other
-for defence against the Indians.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In this emergency, a true son of Ireland is seen to have been in the
-forefront of the battles waged by the afflicted colonists. Florence
-O’Sullivan was one of the leading men among the settlers of Charlestown,
-some of whom were his countrymen, and to whom they looked
-for guidance and counsel. O’Sullivan is said to have come to South
-Carolina with Governor Sayle. He was surveyor-general of the
-province until he was succeeded by John Culpeper in 1671. He is
-thought to have been of the famous family of that name whose
-paternal home was on the borders of Cork and Kerry, and which
-gave to America schoolmasters, governors, a celebrated general of the
-Revolutionary army, and in later days men who distinguished themselves
-in every sphere of activity in the new country.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>To add to the troubles between the colonists and the Indians, it
-is related that about this time there was great fear among the Carolinians
-of an invasion by the Spaniards from the South. Militia
-companies were formed in and around Charlestown to resist invasion,
-and O’Sullivan had been placed in command of a body of men on an
-island in the harbor—now known as Sullivan’s Island. Their situation
-was one of great danger and they were instructed to warn the
-inhabitants on the first approach of the enemy, and then return to
-shore. “The great gun”—evidently the only one available—was in
-the immediate charge of O’Sullivan.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Spaniards did not put in an appearance; the scanty supplies of
-the party soon gave out, but they stuck to their post until starvation
-stared them in the face. They remained until all hope had fled that
-their supplies would be replenished, and when they were not forthcoming,
-O’Sullivan and his men, deciding that to perish from hunger
-would be an inglorious end, deserted the island without consulting
-the governor and joined the discontented party in the town.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_50'>50</span>Thereupon, we are told, the people became ungovernable and
-threatened to compel the authorities to relinquish the settlement.
-O’Sullivan was arrested by the town marshal and “compelled to find
-security for his good behavior.” Vessels were despatched to Virginia
-and to Barbadoes for provisions, but, before they returned, a
-ship arrived from Europe with supplies and a number of new settlers.
-“The newcomers revived the drooping spirits of the people and encouraged
-them to engage in more vigorous efforts. The governor,
-sensible of the hardships the people had suffered, readily forgave
-them,” and O’Sullivan and his friends were released from further
-restraint.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Spanish authorities at St. Augustine, “on learning the belated
-news of the discontented and miserable condition of the Carolina
-colonists,” advanced with an armed party as far as St. Helena Island,
-about 50 miles south of Charlestown, to dislodge or destroy the
-settlers. Brian Fitzpatrick, a well-known “character” of the settlement,
-is said to have deserted his friends at this juncture and to
-have gone over to the Spaniards. What his purpose was in doing
-so does not appear. However, reinforcements arrived to aid the
-Carolinians, upon which the Spaniards evacuated St. Helena and retreated
-to Augustine.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>After the death of Governor Yeamans in 1674, the inhabitants
-called a meeting at Charlestown, when they elected representatives
-for the purpose of making laws for the government of the colony.
-Thomas Gray, Henry Hughes, Maurice Mathews and Christopher
-Portman were the four deputies chosen by the people.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In 1680 Richard Kirle, who is described as “an Irish gentleman,”
-succeeded to the governorship, but he died six months after taking
-the reins of office.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Elsewhere we have referred to the wholesale exportation of the
-Irish by Cromwell, mainly to the Island of Barbadoes, during the
-first half of the seventeenth century. In time, those who survived
-the tropical climate became freemen, and eventually even some became
-landowners, planters and the business men of the island.
-Numbers of them, on gaining their freedom, sailed for the American
-coast with their families. They had been apprised of the opportunities
-open for them in the South, as the planters of Virginia and
-the Carolinas had their agents in the West Indies inducing them to
-settle on the mainland. In John Camden Hotten’s famous work,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_51'>51</span>there is a list of those who departed from Barbadoes in the year 1678,
-which is described in this quaint language:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“List of what Ticqtts. have been granted out of the Secretary’s
-office of the Island of Barbadoes for departure off this island of the
-several psones hereafter menconed, beginning in January, 1678, and
-ending in December following.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>These are seen to have sailed for Virginia and the Carolinas and
-other American colonies:</p>

-
-<p class='c011'>Those who left Barbadoes for America in the year 1678 are the
-only ones recorded by Hotten, but for many years there was a constant
-stream of wanderers leaving the West Indies for the American
-coast. We are as yet unable to procure any records but those of the
-year 1678.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Thus we see what a great infusion of Irish blood Virginia and
-the Carolinas received in the year 1678 alone. Some of these were
-servants, but among them also were men of family, who either settled
-down on the plantations or received grants of uncultivated lands
-themselves, which, in course of time, they converted into fruitful
-estates. It has been well said that “the fighting races don’t die out,”
-and surely the blood of these early Gaels must have been a potent
-factor in moulding the Americans of later generations in the South.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Irish families are invariably large, and as the same homely virtue
-is usually practised by their descendants, it will not be deemed an
-exaggeration when we say that thousands of the present natives of
-the South are descended directly or indirectly from the Irish colonizers
-from Barbadoes of the last half of the seventeenth century.
-There is no system of calculation by which we could arrive at any
-adequate idea of the probable number of American descendants of
-those early settlers, but, if we adopt the simple method of taking
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_53'>53</span>the number of generations that have elapsed since their coming, and
-then apportion, say an average of five persons to each family for each
-succeeding generation, we can safely conclude that when American
-historians refer to the pioneers of the South as wholly “of Anglo-Saxon
-origin,” they are playing fast and loose with their imaginations.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The provincial authorities were anxious to attract immigrants to
-open up the virgin forest and extend the bounds of their domain,
-so we find them in communication with the government agents in
-England and Ireland, offering the most flattering inducements to
-all who desired to settle in the new country.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Farmers, artisans and agricultural laborers were particularly
-needed, while they objected to the importation of convicts and other
-undesirable persons. Irish political refugees were sometimes classed
-as “convicts,” and while the provincial history, supported by other
-testimony of an indubitable character, indicates that great numbers
-of Irish “convicts” settled in Virginia, it is seen that once they had
-landed on the soil, they were, in a manner, “tolerated” and permitted
-to stay, and accordingly were parcelled out among the planters and
-others who needed the services of able-bodied men.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The privations suffered by those imported Irish “convicts” under
-the vassalage of their colonial masters are, in some cases, beyond
-description, and would shake the credulity of the most sympathetic.
-Many of them occupied even lower positions than the Southern
-slaves of a later day. Not only were they the tillers of the soil,
-the woodsmen of the forest, and the builders of the highways, but
-they occupied “the firing line” in the resistance of the planters to
-the attacks of the savage redskins. Here where the ravages of the
-Indians were so terrible, these Irishmen and boys, so rudely torn
-from their own country, inflicted on savagery many a mortal blow
-and opened the way for the civilization whose fruits we now enjoy.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The continued cry for settlers attracted the avarice of many of
-the Cromwellian adventurers in Ireland, who thus became most efficient
-aids in carrying on the barbarous work of the English commissioners,
-who were appointed by government to exterminate the
-Irish.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>As Prendergast relates in his <cite>Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland</cite>,
-they had agents actively engaged throughout Ireland, “who were
-authorized by Parliament to seize women, orphans and the destitute
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_54'>54</span>to be transported to Barbadoes and the plantations of Virginia.”
-Among the destitute were those whose ancient properties had been
-confiscated by the crown and many of whom had become wanderers
-over the stricken island, or had become inmates of the workhouses.
-“The commissioners for Ireland,” says Prendergast, “issued orders
-to the governors of garrisons to deliver all prisoners of war; to the
-jail-keepers for all offenders in their custody; to the masters of
-workhouses for the destitute in their care, and gave directions to all
-in authority to seize those who had no visible means of livelihood
-and deliver them to the British agents.” All unfortunates who were
-thus caught were quickly conducted to the waterside and there herded
-like so many cattle until such time as a sufficient number had been
-gathered in to embark them on board some ship bound for the West
-Indies or the coast of Virginia.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Some of the English adventurers in Ireland also engaged in the
-business of man-hunting on their own account, and we find from the
-records of Virginia that on April 12, 1621, Sir William Newce, an
-English officer who resided in the County of Cork, wrote to the governor
-“offering to transport two thousand persons to Virginia.” The
-same records indicate that Daniel Gookin, an Irish Quaker merchant
-of Cork City, was in the business of transporting cattle from Ireland
-to Virginia. On one occasion, he came in person to the colony,
-and, seeing the probable advantages of a permanent settlement in
-the country, he sailed from Cork in the <i>Flying Harte</i> with a large
-number of his countrymen, who, we are told, “were exceedingly well
-furnished with all sorts of provisions and cattle,” and landed at
-Newport News in November, 1621.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Notwithstanding that the records of Virginia say that this large
-colony came from Ireland, they are referred to by historians, who at
-all make reference to them, as “English.” The fact that they were
-so “well furnished” would also indicate that Ireland sent forth other
-colonizers to America in those early days besides the “convicts” and
-the “destitute.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In the “Records of the London Company” (the Proprietors of
-Virginia), Daniel Gookin is mentioned as having undertaken “to
-transport great multitudes of people and cattle to Virginia,” and as
-having “received patents for 300 people.” The records do not state
-from where this large colony came, but, from the fact that their
-leader had formerly been a merchant in the city of Cork, from where
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_55'>55</span>his first contingent sailed, it is entirely within the bounds of probability
-that the second colony was largely, if not entirely, composed
-of Munstermen.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In 1622 many of the colonists were massacred by Indians, after
-which the remainder were ordered to abandon the outlying plantations
-and to concentrate their forces about the stronger ones. Gookin’s
-Irish settlement, which had been located near the mouth of the
-James River, back of Newport News, was one of those ordered to
-be abandoned, but he refused to obey the order, and, “gathering together
-his dependants, who by that time numbered only 35, he
-remained at his post, to his great credit and the content of his adventurers.”
-(Stith’s <cite>History of Virginia</cite>.)</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In 1637 Gookin received a grant of 2,500 acres of land in Upper
-Norfolk, now Nansemond County, and in 1642 he was appointed
-commander of the county. The court records show, under date of
-May 24, 1642, that “Daniel Gookin, late of Ireland,” was still a
-resident of Upper Norfolk County. His son, Daniel, left Virginia
-for Massachusetts, where he became superintendent of Indian Affairs,
-with the title of major-general. He was also the author of a
-history of the Indians. It is said that his descendants are now very
-numerous in the United States.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Neill, in his <cite>History of the English Colonization of America</cite>, a
-most authoritative work, gives in full a sermon preached at Bowe
-Street Church in London in 1622, by a famous clergyman named
-Rev. Patrick Copland, who had been employed by the East India
-Company in Barbadoes. In this sermon he referred to “a fleete of
-nine sayle of ships that not one person out of 800 who had been
-transported out of England and Ireland for the plantations of Virginia,
-had met with any mishap by the way.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In a footnote to the remarks of the preacher, the historian in referring
-to the great exodus from Ireland to the American colonies,
-remarks that “Ireland has always been a hive from which America
-has derived sturdy hewers of wood to subdue the forests.” In 1622,
-Rev. Patrick Copland was appointed first president of the College
-of Virginia and general manager of all its properties. The college
-was founded by King James in 1622 and was established at Henrico
-City, fifteen miles below Richmond. (See <cite>Old Churches and Families
-of Virginia</cite>, by Bishop William Meade.)</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>At this period there must have been a goodly number of Irish in
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_56'>56</span>Virginia, if we are to judge from the contents of a little book, “suitable
-for a projected school in Virginia,” prepared in 1621 by an
-English Puritan minister named John Brinsley. The book was
-intended as “a plea for learning and the school master.” The
-author stated that “the incivility among manie of the Irish, the Virginians,
-and all other barbarous nations” grew “from their exceeding
-ignorance of our Holy God and of all true and good learning.”
-On another page the author said it was his unfeigned desire to adapt
-the book “for all functions and places, and more particularly to
-every ruder place, and more especially to that poor Irish nation with
-our loving countrymen in Virginia.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>How very solicitous he was for the “uncivil” Irish! To him, of
-course, they appeared rude and uncivil because they did not in those
-days speak in the English tongue, but in their own undefiled and
-mellifluous Gaelic. The book was presented by Brinsley “at a court
-held for Virginia on December 19, 1621,” on which occasion a committee
-was appointed to determine whether the book was suitable
-for distribution among the school children. This circumstance is
-related by the historian Neill.</p>

-
-<p class='c011'>A few years ago there was issued from the government printing
-office at Washington, D. C., a volume entitled: <i>A Calendar of John
-Paul Jones Manuscripts in the Library of Congress</i>.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The volume is of great interest, is arranged chronologically and
-contains 883 entries. Most of these mention letters written to and
-from Jones during the Revolution and cover a great deal of ground
-relating to that trying period. These records are very valuable.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Frequent mention is made in them of Walsh’s Irish Regiment of
-Marine Artillery, French Army, and the Calendar, as published,
-also mentions other people of Irish birth or blood who took a prominent
-part in the struggle for American liberty. We extract from

-  <h2 class='c004'>NEHEMIAH WALTER, BORN IN IRELAND, 1663.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c005'>At a meeting of the Cambridge (Mass.) Historical Society held
-in Cambridge in 1906, a paper was read by William Coolidge Lane,
-Esq., in which he devoted some attention to the career of Nehemiah
-Walter. The matter is of so interesting a nature that we here reproduce
-a portion of the paper, the title of which is “The Nehemiah
-Walter Elegy on Elijah Corlet.” Walter was born in Ireland in
-1663 and came to New England in 1679. Mr. Lane tells us that
-he became a minister highly esteemed here.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>At the age of thirteen he is said to have readily conversed in
-Latin. He had been apprenticed to an upholsterer in 1674, but it
-was found that his tastes were altogether literary. After coming
-to this country, he was at first placed under Ezekiel Cheever, the Boston
-schoolmaster, but entered college almost immediately, in 1680.
-He was butler in 1683, and graduated in 1684. Soon after, he
-made a voyage to Nova Scotia, where he became proficient in French,
-but returned to study in Cambridge, and was often employed by
-Corlet as his assistant. “It reflected a luster on his character that
-the memorable Mr. Elijah Corlet, master of the Grammar School
-in Cambridge, used to express a distinguishing value for him by
-employing him to officiate at times in the care of his school when
-obliged to be absent himself, always esteeming his place well supplied
-by Mr. Walter, and fully confiding in his skill, prudence and
-diligence.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Elegy was composed when he was but three years out of
-college, and was still studying for the ministry in Cambridge. In
-1688 he was ordained as a colleague with John Eliot in Roxbury,
-Mass., then 84 years old. His people in Roxbury, and Eliot himself,
-showed a deep affection for him, and the liveliest satisfaction at
-having secured him for their minister. Walter continued as the
-minister of the church in Roxbury up to 1750, so that his ministry
-and Eliot’s together covered a period of one hundred and eighteen
-years. He was for many years a member of the corporation of Harvard
-College, and sided with Increase Mather, his father-in-law.
-After Mather’s exclusion from the presidency, he attended no more
-meetings of the corporation, and was considered to have abdicated
-his office.</p>

-  <h2 class='c004'>IRISH INFLUENCE IN THE LIFE OF BALTIMORE.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<div class='nf-center-c0'>
-<div class='nf-center c002'>
-    <div>BY D. J. SCULLY OF BALTIMORE, MD.</div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>It is a peculiar thing to study out fairly, even without setting
-down aught except that which can be actually proved, what an important
-part Irishmen have taken in shaping this Irish-named city
-which in the estimation of those who do not stop to think, is deemed
-an “Anglo-Saxon” community. This phrase, Anglo-Saxon, is now
-the thing, especially among some educators. It is a handy phrase.
-It may mean something, but as often means nothing in particular.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It is like the stuff coined at trial tables, such as “brain-storms”
-and “Dementia Americana,” sufficient for the atmosphere of a courtroom,
-but no where else on earth, where common sense is supposed
-to prevail. Hence the delicious and unmeaning phrase, “Anglo-Saxon”
-this and “Anglo-Saxon” that, as used by the educated few,
-to mislead the so-called uneducated many. It is naturally a bold
-man who would call an Irishman an Anglo-Saxon to his face, but
-the average American educationalist and writer does not make such
-statements to the Gael in propria persona.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He does it at long range, and hides behind his school book and
-his inkwell until the storm has passed by. The Irish who have
-influenced and who have directed in many ways the past of Baltimore
-laid no claim to be Anglo-Saxons and no one in their day
-sought to claim them as such. They were rather proud of their
-Irish birth and descent and made no effort to hide it. But it was a
-fact that it was no shame in those days to be Irish, and nobody
-thought so, not even the English.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>If it had been so awful to be Irish, no doubt the early settlers
-and founders of the city would have never allowed it to be named
-Baltimore. Prior to the Revolution the most important merchants
-and educators, and even professional men in the town, were Irish
-by birth. They laid the foundation of the town’s trade and commerce
-and built it up not only morally and physically, but financially.
-The man who laid the foundation of the town’s trade was Dr. John
-Stevenson, who, although a physician, had an eye to trade, and
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_68'>68</span>coming direct from Ireland deemed it wise to establish a line of ships
-between this city and Irish ports.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>This was the beginning of Baltimore’s commerce, which for nearly
-seventy-five years after Stevenson’s pioneer line was established, almost
-rivalled New York’s commerce in general, and in many ways
-excelled it. This will be refreshing news to many, but is not by any
-means overdrawn. The work done by Stevenson in establishing
-trade for Baltimore was continued by the Purviances, William Patterson,
-Bowly, John O’Donnell, John Smith, William Smith, William
-McDonald, Robert and John Oliver, Wm. Wilson, Talbott
-Jones, Isaac McKim, Robert Garrett, Luke Tiernan, Cumberland
-Dugan, David Stewart, Stephen Stewart, James Calhoun, John
-Sterrett, John McLure, Thomas Russell, Samuel Hughes, William
-Neill, Hugh Young, Patrick Colvin, Alexander Pendergast, Patrick
-Bennett, Robert Welsh, Mark Pringle, William Kennedy, James O.
-Law, Hugh McElderry, Charles M. Dougherty, William Walters,
-John McCoy, D. J. Foley, Hamilton Easter, Robert Neale, Hugh
-Birchhead, John Coulter, and others, who, from time to time, have
-figured prominently in the shipping and commercial annals of Baltimore.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Many of these men were not only the pioneers, but the leaders
-for years in the matters which concerned the carrying trade of
-Baltimore and also in the business concerns of the town and city.
-Their names are so closely associated with the history of Baltimore
-for the first hundred years of her history at least that it is impossible
-to disconnect them. They were honest merchants of the old school
-and their methods were direct and above suspicion. They laid the
-foundation of Baltimore’s reputation for business honesty. Their
-trade was with the East and West Indies, with South America and
-with Europe. Their white-winged clippers sailed every known sea,
-and their house flags were known in every country, aye, even by
-the savage African.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It is highly interesting to trace the rise and rule of these expatriated
-Irish merchants who came to Baltimore, many of them with
-money and business experience, driven from Ireland by England’s
-unjust tariff laws, the same in character as those which now apply to
-our “possessions,” Porto Rico and the Philippines, to “encourage”
-their trade and commerce. These men hated England as strongly
-as they loved fair play. They waxed rich and placed everything
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_69'>69</span>they had at the services of their fellow citizens and of their country.
-They were well aware of England’s hypocritical methods and
-thus when the Revolution came on they cast their fortunes to a man
-with the colonies, and gave of their blood, their experience and
-their means to assist the patriots.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>During the Revolution, in Baltimore and Maryland they were
-prominent in all works of importance. Thus we see Samuel Purviance,
-the chief man of the town; Purviance was a leading merchant.
-He was chairman of the Committee on Correspondence, a sort of
-Ways and Means Committee, and as such he raised supplies for the
-patriotic cause and supervised methods of defense. His services to
-the patriot cause were vast, and he was frequently complimented by
-Washington and the Continental Congress for his services. He was
-largely instrumental in helping Lafayette to clothe his half-starved
-and half-clothed army when on its way to the South to prosecute
-that historic campaign which ended in the surrender of Cornwallis
-at Yorktown.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Thus he played a prominent part in one of the historic events in
-history, and considering the present status of this republic, the most
-momentous campaign in history. The Irish merchants who contributed
-to this fund to buy cloth and make uniforms for Lafayette’s
-ragged army were Messrs. Purviance, William Patterson, John McLure,
-Daniel Bowly, Ridgely and Pringle, James Calhoun, James
-McHenry, Charles Carroll, Wm. Smith, Alex. Donaldson, Samuel
-Hughes, Russell &amp; Hughes, William Neill, John Smith, William
-Smith, Hugh Young and Robert Patter Purviance. William Smith
-and William Patterson and other Irish merchants were also prominent
-in the committee work during the Revolution, and if it had
-failed, would have no doubt decorated the short end of a hangman’s
-rope for their love of liberty. The services of Charles Carroll of
-Carrollton and of his cousin, Charles Carroll, of Mount Clare, to the
-patriot cause and to the city and state, even the nation, it is needless
-to recount here, as they are well known.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>They were Irish-Americans, however, and not ashamed of it, and
-their influence in the city and its environs were considerable along
-all lines. William Patterson gave Patterson Park to the city, and
-also contributed largely to the foundation of many public enterprises,
-some of which survive today as monuments to the activities
-of himself and his fellow Irishmen. Prime among those monuments
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_70'>70</span>is the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Isaac McKim, another
-Irishman, founded the first free school set up in Baltimore. It still
-stands at Baltimore and Aisquith streets a monument to him, and
-has been in its day a strong sphere of influence. John Oliver, another
-Gael, founded the Oliver Hibernian Free School, which has
-been for nearly a century a wide center of influence for good. It
-was the first school established in the United States for the exclusive
-education of Irish-Americans, and was established at a time
-when Americans of other races were without free schools of any
-kind. Prominent in the establishment of the Baltimore and Ohio
-Railroad and of the Northern Central Railroad were other Irish
-merchants and professional men, such as Robert Garrett, Alexander
-and George Brown, the latter of whom conceived the idea of
-building the road; Isaac McKim, Charles Carroll of Carrollton,
-John V. L. McMahon, the Irish American lawyer, who drew that
-first railroad charter ever drawn for the Baltimore and Ohio, which
-has served as a model ever since; Patrick McCauley, the Irish educator;
-Talbott Jones, Robert Oliver and others. These men gave
-not only their influence to these roads, but their money. How
-well they built, facts establish. John O’Donnell, the Irishman, was
-the man who named Canton, on the southeast side of the basin, because
-he thought it looked like Canton, China; and he was the first
-president of the Baltimore Gas Light Company. What that company
-has developed into the present shows. His son, Gen. Columbus
-O’Donnell, was for many years the honored president of the
-company.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Gen. Wm. McDonald was the first man to run packets on the
-Chesapeake Bay, and also the first to run steam vessels. And thus
-he was the founder of Baltimore’s great bay trade. That he was
-a man of influence the conditions of the present prove. He may
-have builded better than he knew, but he built greatly. Alexander
-Brown, Robert Garrett and Isaac McKim were practically the
-founders of the banking business of this city, and with others of
-the great Irish business men influenced the financial interests of
-Baltimore for many years. In fact, their descendants have a powerful
-influence in banking matters locally at this time. Every one
-is familiar with the tremendous influence exercised in railroad circles
-for many years by the Irish-American, John W. Garrett, and his
-son, Robert Garrett. There can be no question about those facts.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_71'>71</span>In the religious concerns of the city the Irish have ever played
-an important part. The city is the seat of the Roman Catholic
-church in this country, the first bishop and archbishop of which
-was John Carroll, an Irish-American. Since his day the Irish have
-been in the forefront in Catholic affairs in Baltimore, and the pewholders
-and attendants at the Cathedral and other Catholic churches
-have included many of Baltimore’s leading citizens. St. Mary’s
-Seminary has educated hundreds of Catholic priests who have gone
-out and labored for the salvation of souls. Of these Levites the
-great and almost overwhelming majority have been Irish-Americans.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Many of these good men have spent their lives in this city and
-have proven great sources of influence for upliftment to their fellowmen.
-The Irish names of the priests and bishops who have labored
-here in Baltimore would make a respectable directory for information
-on the municipality’s work for the betterment of men. Many
-will recall the names of the saintly McColgan, Dolan, McManus,
-Coskery, Slattery, McCoy, Dougherty, Malloy, Dugan, Gaitley, McDevitt,
-and many others of equal note who have served prominently
-in this city and have been towers of strength to their co-religionists.
-The stature of Archbishop Carroll in his day was heroic, and he
-was regarded as one of the chief citizens of the republic, as his
-famous successor, Cardinal Gibbons, is today.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The similarity between Dr. Carroll and the cardinal on the lines
-of personal influence is remarkable. What Dr. Carroll was in his
-day a century ago, the cardinal is today, and the person who is
-familiar with the cardinal’s character knows what power and inspiration
-that is for good. Other prelates who were of Irish extraction
-and who labored here were Archbishops Neale and the illustrious
-Kenrick, the latter one of the greatest of church writers and
-a strong man of his day. In other denominations we have Dr. Patrick
-Allison, the first pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, and
-a remarkable man in many ways, who was the friend of Dr. Carroll,
-and his contemporary. Rev. John Glendy, a native of Ireland, who
-was a rebel in 1798, and had to fly for his life to this country, was
-the first pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, and an orator
-of unusual ability. In their day they were strong men, and exercised
-an overmastering influence for good upon their flocks. Rev.
-John Healey was the first Baptist minister in Baltimore town, and
-founded the first Baptist chapel. He ministered here for many
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_72'>72</span>years and was without doubt an influential man. The congregations
-of the Presbyterian and Baptist churches included a number of
-prominent Irish business and professional men, in fact the cream of
-the business men of the town and city belonged to them. Hence
-they were widespread centers of influence and they have so remained.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Their descendants to this day include many of Baltimore’s leading
-citizens in all lines of activity. The first Methodist preacher that
-we know of who preached in the vicinity of this city was Robert
-Strawbridge, the Irishman. He preached about the countryside, it
-being as much a felony for a Methodist preacher to preach as it was
-for a Catholic priest to say mass in his day in Maryland. We know
-that there were several well-known Irishmen who were among the
-first members of the first M. E. church, old Light Street, now Mount
-Vernon Place Church; among them being Patrick Colvin and Patrick
-Bennett. This Colvin afterwards was buried from the old
-Light Street church, which caught fire during his funeral, and was
-burned to the ground. His daughter founded the old Colvin Institute
-in his honor, and Colvin Street is named after him. He was
-an influential merchant as well as a leading Methodist.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The first mayor of the city, James Calhoun, was an Irish-American.
-The first secretary of the navy from Maryland was an Irishman,
-James McHenry, after whom the fort is named. It is well
-to remark that Fort Carroll is also named after Charles Carroll, the
-Irish-American. The first secretary of state and attorney-general
-from Maryland was Robert Smith, son of John Smith, the Irishman.
-Gen. Samuel Smith, the Revolutionary hero, who served more years
-than any other from this state in the United States Senate, also commanded
-the forces at the battle of North Point and the defense of
-Fort McHenry. The first and only chief justice of the United
-States from Maryland was Roger Brooke Taney, the Irish-American,
-who was also an attorney-general of the United States. One
-of the two secretaries of the navy from this state was John Pendleton
-Kennedy, the Irish-American. All of these facts serve to show that
-the Irish have played some part in public affairs in this city and
-state.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Past and present, the Irish element has been so closely identified
-with the history of Baltimore that it has played an important part
-in influencing every detail of the life of the city. Deny it as some
-will, the influence is still apparent in the city’s spheres, probably
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_73'>73</span>not so prominently as in the long ago, but still markedly. Prosperity
-has somewhat dulled the ambition of the local Gael, but that he
-is still in evidence, commercially, religiously, professionally, socially
-and industrially, the shallowest of investigations will prove. The
-readiness of the Irishman to assimilate with other nationalities in
-our country may have had something to do with the disappearance
-from the prominent places which they formerly occupied of the leading
-families of the city who bear the names of the splendid men
-who at one time led in the city’s advance. But considerable of the
-wealth and the influence of the city is still held by the descendants
-of these old pioneers, and by those who have succeeded them in the
-life of the City of the Calverts.</p>

-  <h2 class='c004'>LOOKING BACK AT OLD CAMBRIDGE, MASS.</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c005'>Extract from an address by Prof. Charles Eliot Norton at a meeting
-of the Cambridge (Mass.) Historical Society, October 30, 1905:
-“But even a greater change than that from country village to suburban
-town has taken place here in Old Cambridge in the last seventy
-years. The people have changed. In my boyhood the population
-was practically all of New England origin, and in large proportion
-Cambridge-born, and inheritors of Old Cambridge traditions. The
-fruitful invasion of barbarians had not begun. The foreign-born
-people could be counted up on the fingers. There was Rule, the
-excellent Scotch gardener, who was not without points of resemblance
-to Andrew Fairservice; there was Sweetman, the one Irish
-day-laborer, faithful and intelligent, trained as a boy in one of the
-‘hedge-schools’ of his native Ireland, and ready to lean on his spade
-and put the troublesome schoolboy to a test on the Odes of Horace,
-or even on the <i><span lang="la" xml:lang="la">Arma virumque cano</span></i>; and at the heart of the village
-was the hair-cutter, Marcus Reamie, from some unknown foreign
-land, with his shop full, in a boy’s eyes, of treasures, some of his
-own collecting, some of them brought from distant romantic parts
-of the world by his sailor son. There were doubtless other foreigners,
-but I do not recall them, except a few teachers of languages in
-the college, of whom three filled in these and later years an important
-place in the life of the town,—Dr. Beck, Dr. Follen and Mr.
-Sales.”</p>

-41,016. As has been stated, the interments in St. Patrick’s graveyard,
-from May 25, 1813, to March, 1833, were 32,153, so that in
-these two old downtown graveyards in thirty-five years, a total of
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_76'>76</span>73,169 Catholics were buried. These figures are taken from Archbishop
-Corrigan’s paper on “The Catholic Cemeteries of New
-York” and are therefore official. The Avenue A end of the Eleventh
-Street plot was originally a hollow and had to be filled in
-about eighteen feet above the level at the time of its purchase.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>There was a wooden fence around the property at first and this
-was replaced by the iron railing that now encloses it. The high
-brick wall around St. Patrick’s was put up just before the anti-Catholic
-excitement of 1836 and served as a protection to the old
-church that largely helped, when manned by stout defenders, to
-awe the mob that assembled to plunder and destroy it. In the same
-year, June 5, 1836, it was determined to rebuild St. Peter’s Church
-in Barclay Street. The graves in the little space about the church
-were opened and most of the remains reinterred in St. Patrick’s
-graveyard. Some of the pioneers were left undisturbed and still
-repose under the walls of the new church built over the old site.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The dead who sleep about the walls of old St. Patrick’s made up
-the very flower of the pioneer families, mainly Irish, who built up
-the church in New York. Among the long list are the first pastors
-and their assistants, Fathers Michael O’Gorman, Richard Bulger,
-Charles Brennan and Peter Malou—who was a general in the Belgium
-army and then a Jesuit. One of his sons became a bishop in
-his native land—Fathers Luke Berry, of St. Mary’s; Gregory B.
-Pardow, an uncle of the Jesuit of our day; James Neale, Carberry
-J. Byrne, Thomas C. Levins, John N. Smith of St. James’ and Dr.
-John Power, V. G. The remains of the bishops of the See, except
-the first, were transferred from old St. Patrick’s to the crypt of the
-Fifth Avenue Cathedral after it was opened.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The parents of Cardinal McCloskey were buried in old St. Patrick’s
-and so were a son of the famous French general, Moreau,
-Capt. Pierre Laudais, of the navy, who fought with Paul Jones in
-the Revolution; Thomas, the father of the great lawyer, Charles
-O’Conor; Thomas S. Brady, father of James T. and Judge John
-R. Brady; Capt. James McKeon, of the army in 1812 and father
-of John McKeon; Andrew Morris, Stephen Jumel, Dominick Lynch
-and his numerous children; John B. Lasala, the Denmans, the Hargous,
-Binsse, Coughlan, Brandegee, De Londe, Shea, O’Brien and
-other prominent old New York families.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In the Eleventh Street graveyard the 41,016 dead are of a later
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_77'>77</span>period, but include many names of special local interest on the
-old stones, such as the Murphy, Lynch, Carroll, Hanly, Sweeney,
-Bradley, Davey, McMahon, Holahan, and other families. A local
-character, who died September 26, 1838, and was buried here, was
-an Italian named Joseph Bonfanti, who kept what might be called
-the first “department store” in New York. It was located at 297
-Broadway, and it was his boast that no one could go into his store
-and ask for anything in fancy articles he could not produce for sale.
-He advertised in rhymes and some of the efforts in this direction
-are wonderful productions. Local fame had it that he kept poets
-on salary to supply his needs in this direction. His tombstone told
-that he was born in Monticello, December 9, 1798, was “universally
-esteemed as an affectionate husband, a kind father and a sincere
-friend,” and that,—</p>

-<p class='c011'>Capt. John McMahon had a monument erected to him by the

-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>I am going to unfold for you a chapter of unwritten history; to
-tell you in a brief way the story of the part played by men of Erin
-in the early life of this city—from the time of its settlement in
-the year 1630 down to the opening of the Revolution.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Historical works do not touch the narrative, Cullen’s <cite>Story of
-the Irish in Boston</cite> excepted. Yet even that, admirable as it is and
-much as it contains, falls far short of giving a complete account.
-I know not the reasons for this inexcusable neglect of historians,
-but I have my opinions on the matter.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The story should have been written for two reasons at least; (1)
-because the Irish were here in large numbers at the period of which
-I am treating; and (2) they rendered important services to the
-community.</p>

-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_79'>79</span>This paper will develop some interesting and striking facts concerning
-the early history of Boston, and to Americans of Irish blood,
-unless they be students of colonial history, it would prove a revelation
-were they to read it. You will see from this narrative that
-the Irish of those by-gone days were not all hewers of wood and
-drawers of water, despite the tremendous handicaps of racial and
-religious hostility and the disproportion of the numbers in comparison
-to the English.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>On the contrary, some of them shone as patriots and statesmen;
-in the fields of art and invention; and in various ways of lesser importance
-there were many whose names deserve recording in a discourse
-of this nature.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Some years ago I became interested in a letter which appeared in
-one of our daily papers containing a few facts about the pioneer
-store-keeper of Boston—the first person to start a business here
-and thus earn for himself the title of “The Father of Boston Merchants.”
-The reason for my interest lay in the fact that he was
-an Irishman. His name was John Cogan.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Histories of Boston and the chapters on colonial Boston in the
-histories of the United States, as might be expected, both ignore the
-story of John Cogan, and you would search the city in vain were
-you looking for a memorial of any sort to him. Neither is there
-tablet nor memorial of any sort marking the site of that humble little
-shop, which was the first link of the great chain of mercantile establishments
-which have followed in its wake. Historical spots of even
-less interest are, and properly, suitably marked, but for some reason
-the site of Boston’s first place of business has been ignored by our
-municipal authorities and historical societies.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>I determined to try to rescue John Cogan’s name from the practical
-oblivion which enshrouded it and discover details of his career
-sufficient for a newspaper or magazine article. My researches into
-the musty records of the past were well rewarded and my discoveries
-I hope to give the public through some reputable magazine or
-journal in the near future.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>It was while engaged in this long and laborious work that I discovered
-a new vein, as it were, in Boston’s history, and following it
-up I found much of the material which goes to make up this paper
-and which suggested its preparation.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Had it been our good fortune to have had a directory containing
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_80'>80</span>the names of the residents of Boston each year since its settlement
-we would have found in every one of those works, with perhaps the
-exception of the first two, Keltic names, and in the entire period of
-which I treat some thousands of them.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Undoubtedly these statements surprise you. Naturally. Yet I
-could easily make them good. And furthermore I believe it to be
-quite likely that if we made a careful research among the names
-of the Kelts in colonial Boston that we could easily duplicate ten
-per cent or more of those borne by readers of this article.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Of the thousands of these names I have compiled I select a few
-for illustration—Blake, Barrett, Boyce, Bryan, Bishop, Boyle and
-Burk; Collins, Carey, Connell, Conner, Casey and Cunningham;
-Drury and Downing; Flannagan; Griffin; Healy, Hart, Harkins
-and Hurley; Kennedy; Lynch and Lane; Murphy, Moore, Martin,
-Mackey and McLean; Norton and Neale; Power and Powell;
-Strain; Timmins; Welch.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The children of Erin began coming here from practically the
-foundation of Boston. As Cullen says: “English of all things, it
-(Boston) was of necessity anti-Irish, and classed this unfortunate
-people with the heathen tribes of the forest; yet, among her earliest
-records appears the distinctively Irish names of Cogan, Barry, Connors,
-MacCarty, Kelly; throughout her colonial history, when the
-wild Irish, the Pope, the Devil and the Pretender were classed
-together and hated in the lump, the Irish were in their midst,
-though Irish Catholicity remained till near the Revolution almost
-unrepresented.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Yet this fact is disputed. One well known newspaper writer of
-Boston, an Irishman, too, declares: “It is quite safe to say that there
-were no Irish at that time (1630) among the settlers.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Now that assertion may or may not be true. But I would say in
-reply to it that if the Irish were not here as early as 1630 there
-was at least one representative of the race in the colony in 1632<a id='r4' /><a href='#f4' class='c014'><sup>[4]</sup></a>
-and another in 1634<a id='r5' /><a href='#f5' class='c014'><sup>[5]</sup></a>, both prominent, too, by the way, and Irish
-have been here ever since.</p>
-
-<div class='footnote' id='f4'>
-<p class='c011'><a href='#r4'>4</a>. John Cogan, already alluded to.</p>
-</div>
-
-<div class='footnote' id='f5'>
-<p class='c011'><a href='#r5'>5</a>. William Hibbens.</p>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>The gentleman referred to also says: “Up to that time (1647)
-there was practically no infusion of Irish blood in New England.”
-In reply to that I would answer that if the other large centers of
-New England had as many Kelts as did Boston up to and including
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_81'>81</span>1647—and I would not be surprised if they had—this gentleman’s
-statement would stand disproved.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Under Cromwell’s government many Irish people were sent to
-New England. On their arrival they were sold as servants or
-slaves by those at whose charge they were brought here. This
-slavery, however, was only temporary, and generally for a period
-of four years. It was distinctly understood that this service of the
-Irish was to be in direct payment for the trouble and expense of
-transporting them.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The men of Irish blood were not prominent in the early story
-of the colony, with a few exceptions. But that was neither their
-fault nor to their discredit. The reasons for this were in brief the
-racial antipathy on the part of the colonists; their hatred of the
-religion professed by the mass of the Kelts; the social ostracism of
-the English toward the children of Erin; the legislation in Ireland
-which forced the natives into, and kept them in, ignorance from an
-educational standpoint; their poverty, another heritage of England’s
-misrule of their country and the smallness of their numbers
-in comparison with the English settlers.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>But time works wonders and brings its revenges! The erstwhile
-tiny English and Puritan colony has become a great city, one of the
-greatest in America, in fact, and the stronghold of the Catholic and
-Kelt. Only the other day it was governed by a man of that faith
-and blood, and he was the successor of four other mayors born in
-Ireland or descended from Irish people, while the majority of the
-leading city officials were of the same class.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In the professions and business life also men of Irish blood are
-making a good showing here. And as to religion, our clergy of
-Keltic blood outnumber those of all other nationalities and so do
-they all the non-Catholic ministers combined.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>I know you will be now interested to hear of John Cogan, to
-whom I referred in the beginning of this paper. For a quarter of a
-century he was prominently identified with the colony—from 1632
-until his death in 1658. He probably came from Cork. The late
-John B. Reagan, of Dorchester, noted for his historical research
-regarding the Irish in America, said of the first of Boston’s Keltic
-citizens: “Among those who came over in the so-called Winthrop
-fleet, composed of ‘people from all parts,’ were several merchants
-from the maritime ports of Ireland, of whom John Cogan was one.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_82'>82</span>In my researches for details of Cogan’s career I found this reference
-to him, from Lechford’s Notebook: “Whether John Cogan, of
-Boston, Mass., was related to this family (the Cogans of Chard,
-Eng.,) or not I do not know. He appears to have been from
-Devonshire, as in 1639 he gave Isaac Northcut, of Honiton, a power
-of attorney to receive any legacy under the will of his mother,
-Eleanor Cogan, of Tiverton, in Devon.” Still, this would not
-prove that Cogan was English, as thousands of Irish have settled
-in England from an early period.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Cogan was virtually one of the founders of Boston, one of its
-leading citizens, one of its wealthiest and most enterprising, and a
-pillar and one of the founders of the First Church. And I am glad
-to say that the colonists were sensible enough to so far overcome
-their prejudices as to appreciate what sort of man he was, for they
-honored him with numerous public offices and positions of trust.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He was a member of the first board of selectmen and served in
-that capacity for a long time; a juror in the Court of Assistants;
-one of a committee to allot land for the inhabitants to plant on and
-of another committee to allot land on the Neck and in East Boston;
-one of a committee to erect fortifications on Fort Hill and its treasurer;
-a member of the grand jury; a surveyor of the highways; a
-constable. The full list of offices he held would be too long to
-give here.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He opened the first store in 1633 or 1634. It stood on Washington
-Street opposite the Old State House, on the northeast corner.
-Colonial records fail to state what class of goods our pioneer store-keeper
-dealt in, or how long he conducted his shop, or whether he
-made it a success, which I venture to predict, in view of his career,
-he did.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He proved himself a shrewd and energetic business man and became
-wealthy for the times in which he lived. He was the proprietor
-of a large amount of real estate, including two stores and half
-an acre of land, which is now covered by the store of Houghton &amp;
-Dutton, and corn mills in Charlestown and Malden.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>He was one of the builders of Long wharf, the oldest in Boston
-and the one with the most interesting history. He served as sergeant
-in that organization of, as somebody has facetiously dubbed
-them, “bottle-scared veterans,” the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
-Company.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_83'>83</span>Among his benefactions was a gift of 70 acres to Harvard College.
-I might state in passing that Cogan was one of the settlers of Dorchester,
-which colony was founded in the same year as was Boston,
-1630, and lived there until his removal here in 1632.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Some few weeks ago the daily papers chronicled the death of the
-oldest alumnus of Harvard College and Boston’s oldest attorney.
-This was Charles A. Welch of Cohasset, Mass. Welch was the descendant
-of John Welch, who was recorded in Boston as a tax-payer
-as early as 1682, and who wedded Elizabeth White. The distinguished
-lawyer had as his great grandfather John Welch, who served
-as commander of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company,
-while the father of the lawyer was a noted wood carver and made the
-famous codfish which adorns the State House and also the great
-figure-head of Andrew Jackson which ornamented the bow of the
-American frigate <i>Constitution</i>.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Another descendant of this John Welch of colonial Boston, and
-brother of the lawyer, was Edward H. Welch, who had the happiness
-not only of returning to the church of his ancestors, but also
-of becoming a member of the Society of Jesus. The lawyer and
-priest numbered among their cousins the present Episcopalian
-Bishop of Fond du Lac, the Right Reverend Charles C. Grafton;
-and Mrs. Abbott, wife of the late Judge Abbott. In a word, John
-Welch of colonial Boston was the progenitor of a distinguished
-family.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>How many of you could tell me who made the first piano-forte
-in America? And the first bass-viol? And the artificial leg with
-joints? And the first pack of playing cards? If you don’t know, it
-is not a matter of surprise, for those achievements are not chronicled
-in our histories.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Well, I’ll tell you. There lived in Dorchester or Milton between
-the years 1640 and 1650 a lad named Teague Crehore, who, it is
-said, had been stolen from his parents in Ireland.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>One of his descendants was Benjamin Crehore, who was born in
-Milton. He was a remarkable genius. He it was who made the
-first piano-forte in America, manufactured the first bass-viols and
-invented the artificial leg with joints.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>And it was Thomas Crehore, a nephew of Benjamin Crehore and
-the son of William Crehore, a chair maker, and of the fifth generation
-of Teague Crehore, who manufactured the first playing cards
-in America.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_84'>84</span>Thomas Crehore was a native of Dorchester and born in 1769.
-At the age of thirty-two he bought the land on which he built his
-factory and house. The industry continued there (in Milton Lower
-Mills, on the Neponset River, I believe) until 1846, when the factory
-was burned down. Mr. Crehore died in the same year, leaving
-a large estate.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Crehores and John Cogan were not the only Kelts who were
-business pioneers here in the early days. The first paper manufactured
-in America was made in Dorchester and three Irishmen,
-while not actually starting it, may be said to have been among the
-founders and promoters of the industry (their predecessors having
-for only a short time conducted it). These were Capt. James Boies,
-Jeremiah Smith and Hugh McLean. Cullen in his <cite>Story of
-the Irish in Boston</cite>, says: “If to Mr. Smith belonged the credit of
-being the first individual paper manufacturer, to others of his countrymen
-is due the fact that the Neponset River was made by them
-the basis of paper manufacturing in the North American colonies.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Boies was born in Ireland in 1702 and died in Milton at the age
-of ninety-six years. He was with General Wolfe in the battle on
-the Plains of Abraham. By direction of General Washington, Captain
-Boies directed the work of transporting the fagots, in which
-300 teams were engaged, that were used in fortifying Dorchester
-Heights, following which event the British evacuated Boston.
-Boies was one of a committee of three which drew up instructions
-for the representatives of the town of Milton, wherein it was voted
-that the colony would support the Continental Congress with their
-lives and their fortunes in the event of hostilities with England.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Jeremiah Smith was a native of Ireland and born in 1705. At
-the age of twenty-one he came to Boston and in 1737 removed to
-Milton. In that year he became superintendent of a paper industry
-started by some men, including Thomas Hancock, a few years
-before. Four years later he was its owner. He carried on the business
-until 1775, when he retired, after amassing a fortune.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Smith was an intimate friend of Governor Hutchinson and also of
-Governor Hancock, at whose hospitable board the wits of the day
-were wont to gather. Smith was seldom absent on such occasions,
-and if he were blessed with the characteristic Keltic wit, as presumably
-he was, he must have added largely to the entertainment
-of Hancock and his guests.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_85'>85</span>Hugh McLean, the third of the trio, was born in Ireland in 1724.
-He married a daughter of Boies and while in partnership with him
-became wealthy. He died in Milton at the age of seventy-five.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Col. John C. Linehan, in his work <cite>The Irish Scots and the
-“Scotch-Irish,”</cite> says: “Massachusetts had received, before the Revolution,
-a fair proportion of the Irish, for which the race has received
-but little credit.&nbsp;*&nbsp;*&nbsp;* The chronicles of the town of Boston,
-Mass., are full of enactments to keep the Irish out, but it was found
-to be impossible. They would come despite the prejudice, for
-Massachusetts was the most progressive of the colonies, and these
-people, or many of them, being artisans, spinners, weavers, shoemakers,
-ropemakers, etc., their labor became welcome, and a compromise
-was made by obliging those of them who were well-to-do to
-furnish bonds for their poorer countrymen and women, to the end
-that they would not become public charges.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>And again: “As early as 1780 and 1790 John Sullivan, Patrick
-Connor and Michael Carney were associated in the manufacture of
-paper at Dorchester, Mass.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Properly speaking, I should not quote this statement in my paper,
-as the dates mentioned are later than the limit of time with which
-my subject treats; but I deemed it fitting to do so as being supplementary
-to those facts given about the other three Kelts engaged in
-the business.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Among the chaplains of the French fleet which assisted the Americans
-in the Revolution was Abbe Robin. He wrote a series of letters
-to a friend describing his travels in this country; the first, dated
-in Boston, contained this paragraph:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“The Irish Presbyterians, discontented with their landlord at
-home and attracted by similarity of sentiment, have established in
-this place, with some success, manufactories of linen, and have made
-some attempts at broadcloths; those that have been lately manufactured
-are close and well woven, but hard and coarse; their hat
-manufactories have succeeded not better than the cloths; they are
-thick, spongy and without firmness, and come far short of the beauty
-and solidity of ours.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Now it is fair to infer that these industries were not started since
-the beginning of the Revolution. Those things are not done in
-war-times for very obvious reasons. That they had been in operation
-for some years may be taken for granted.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_86'>86</span>And now here is evidence showing that one of these industries was
-started a long time previous to the date of the Abbe’s letter. The
-<cite>American Cyclopedia</cite> says: “Some of the Scotch-Irish settlers in
-Boston in 1720 introduced the linen manufacture, which exercised
-much interest and was greatly encouraged, spinning-schools being
-established.” I didn’t know until I read this paragraph that there
-was such an individual as a “Scotch-Irishman” in Boston in the early
-days. The writers of the records never found one; or if they did,
-failed to recognize him.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Now a word as to the alleged “Scotch-Irish” of early times in
-Boston: Thomas Hamilton Murray, secretary of the American-Irish
-Historical Society, says on the subject:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“The Massachusetts colonial records repeatedly mention the
-‘Irish,’ not the Scotch-Irish. Cotton Mather in a sermon in 1700
-says: ‘At length it was proposed that a colony of Irish be sent over
-to check the growth of this countrey.’ No prefix there&nbsp;*&nbsp;*&nbsp;*</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Cullen describes the arrival at Boston in 1717 of Captain Robert
-Temple ‘with a number of Irish Protestants.’ Captain Temple was,
-in 1740, elected to the Charitable Irish Society. In another place
-Cullen alludes to ‘the Irish spinners and weavers who landed in
-Boston in the early part of the eighteenth century.’”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>One of the early citizens of Boston was William Hibbens, of Ireland,
-who came here in 1634. Like his countryman, John Cogan,
-he became prominent and wealthy. He was referred to in the colonial
-records as a gentleman. He served for a long time on the
-board of selectmen; as magistrate, agent of the colony in England,
-treasurer of the town stock; deputy to the General Court; highway
-surveyor; member of the commission to fortify Castle Island, and
-in other offices also labored for the interests of his townsmen.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Hibbens wedded Mrs. Ann Moore, a widow, and sister of Governor
-Bellingham. He died in 1654. Mrs. Hibbens was hung for
-alleged witchcraft two years later. She left her property to her
-two sons, John and Joseph Moore, of Ballyhorick, County Cork, Ire.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>John Casey of Muddy River, as the now aristocratic town of
-Brookline was called in early days, was a participant in that conflict
-with the Indians known as King Philip’s War, fought in 1675–6.
-He took part in the attack on the Red Men’s fort in the Great
-Swamp in Rhode Island and was wounded in the engagement.</p>

-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_87'>87</span>The name Collins is found frequently in the early records. Edward Collins was a resident of Cambridge as early as 1646. He
-was a merchant. Christopher Collins, a shoemaker, lived in Dedham
-as early as 1645. William Collins was in Boston as early as
-1646. He was the New England agent of Mathew Craddock of
-London, a merchant. John Collins became a “freeman” in 1646.
-Timothy Collins, a servant, was brought to Boston in 1764 on a
-schooner which came from Halifax and Cork. Four years later
-came a lad set down in the records as William Collen, brought here
-on a sloop from Windsor.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Ann Collins, a servant, arrived here from Ireland in 1767. Captain
-Palfrey Collins came into port in 1768. Clement Collins was
-one of a number of citizens who lodged their arms with the selectmen
-in 1774. He gave up a gun and a blunderbuss. Joseph Collins,
-on January 1, 1775, was nominated a watchman. In the
-company of which Captain Allen was commander in 1698 was
-Mathew Collins. In a public school kept here by Samuel Holyoke,
-Daniel Collins was a pupil in 1753. Thomas Collins, a farmer,
-came here in 1765 on a sloop from Fort Cumberland. John Collins
-was a constable in 1657. Henry Collins was made a freeman
-in 1636–7 and Edward Collins in 1640.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Healy was another name of which I find mention on numerous
-occasions in colonial days. William Healy, who was here as early
-as 1645, figured in a number of real estate transactions and had
-business dealings with Governor Dudley.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>One of the leading Keltic families of colonial Boston was the
-McCarthys. Thaddeus McCarthy was here as early as 1666. He
-was an officer of the town in 1674 and a member of the Ancient
-and Honorable Artillery Company in 1681.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>One of his sons, if I mistake not, was Florence McCarthy, who
-became one of the leading citizens of the town, a man of wealth and
-a successful dealer in provisions. He was one of the founders of
-the first Episcopal church in New England. He was here as early
-as 1686 and died in 1712. He left an estate valued at £2,922, including
-his farm, which embraced the land in Roxbury on which the
-Marcella Street Home stood.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Another son was Captain William McCarthy, who was the best
-known ship-owner in the town. Still another was Thomas McCarthy.
-He was chosen a constable in 1727, but was not anxious to
-serve in that capacity. A fourth son was Thaddeus McCarthy, who
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_88'>88</span>was graduated from Harvard College, was pastor of the First
-Church in Worcester for thirty-seven years and became the father
-of fifteen children.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>A brother of this Thaddeus McCarthy, the minister, was Captain
-William McCarthy, who served as quartermaster of the Fifteenth
-Massachusetts Regiment in the Revolution, and a son was Dr. Thaddeus
-McCarthy, who became a noted medical practitioner in Fitchburg,
-Mass., and Keene, N. H. A Charles Maccarty took part in
-the expedition against Quebec in 1690 and was badly wounded.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>I will not vouch positively that I have stated accurately the relations
-to one another of these Maccarthys. There is a little difference
-in one or two statements in this matter by at least two good authorities,
-Bernard Cullen, author of <cite>The Story of the Irish in Boston</cite>,
-and the late Col. John C. Linehan of Concord, N. H., author of
-numerous articles on the early Irish residents of New England.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Now I am going to give you a few tid-bits, as it were, from the
-colonial records and other sources:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Derman Mahoone is fined 20 shillings for intertaining two Irishwomen”
-in 1657. In other words, he simply gave them the hospitality
-of his home in a legitimate way. But that was against the
-law—for the Irish.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Margaret Noriss, an Irishwoman is admitted to the town.” That
-was in 1658.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>John Martin, a ship carpenter, was a resident in 1637 and was
-admitted an inhabitant in the following year.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>John Moore was the servant of the governor in 1639.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Myles Tarne, a leather dresser, was here as early as 1642.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>From the records of 1646 I quote: “John Berry is put an apprentice
-to Edward Keyly for seaven years.” Berry, undoubtedly, is a
-corruption of Barry, and Keyly of Kelly or Kiley.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>I hardly need to remind you, in mentioning this, that the spelling
-of the keepers of the colonial records was something atrocious.
-William Healy, to whom I referred a moment ago, had his name
-spelled in at least five different ways.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>James Carey was chosen town clerk of Charlestown in 1662.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>A great fire occurred in Boston in 1760. Among those whose
-homes were destroyed were Captain Killeran and Michael Carroll.
-They lived in the district which we used to know as Fort Hill.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>In 1659 Governor Endicott united in marriage John Morrell and
-Lysbell Morrell, both Irish, say the records.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><span class='pageno' id='Page_89'>89</span>James Cochran, an Irish boy, was captured by Indians in those
-early days. He was a brave youth and managed to kill a couple of
-savages and make his escape. <cite>The Boston News-Letter</cite> of April 29,
-1725, said of him: “James Cochran, ye youth that came into Brunswick
-with two scalps, came into town on Monday last and on Tuesday
-produced ye same scalps before ye Honorable Lieutenant-Governor
-and Council, for which he received a reward of two hundred
-pounds. And for ye farther encouragement of young men and
-others to perform bold and hardy actions in ye Indian war, His
-Honor ye Lieutenant Governor has been pleased to make him sargeant
-in ye forces.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Verily, a good type of the Fighting Race!</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Now to come down to the second half of the period of time which
-I am considering. One of the most picturesque and interesting
-figures in the history of Boston was John Hancock, whom, some
-claim, had Irish blood in his veins. He was a staunch patriot, statesman,
-leader in public affairs, governor of the Commonwealth, orator
-and the first signer of the Declaration of Independence (which, by
-the way, with only his signature as president of the Continental Congress
-and that of Charles Thomson, a native of Maghera, Ire., as
-secretary, was sent forth to the world, the other names being added
-to it later).</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>As a bit of evidence which may help to indicate Hancock’s
-ancestry, it may be worth mentioning that he presented a bell and
-vane to the Irish Presbyterian Church in Boston.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>A copy of <cite>The Tyrone, Ireland, Constitution</cite>, issued some time in
-or prior to 1876, contained these statements: “Those who are conversant
-with <cite>Reid’s History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland</cite>
-are aware that multitudes of Protestants left Ulster for the plantations
-of North America. John Hancock’s ancestor was among that
-number.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>And again: “It is stated by reliable authorities that the ancestors
-of John Hancock emigrated from near Downpatrick, Co. Down,
-Ire., and settled in Boston toward the close of the seventeenth century.
-The Hancocks have been for centuries actively and largely
-engaged in the foreign and domestic trade of Newry, and it was,
-doubtless, in a commercial capacity that the first of the name came
-to Boston. The family to which President Hancock belonged is, it
-is said, now (1889) represented in Ireland by John Hancock of Lurgan,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_90'>90</span>and by Neilson Hancock, the founder of the Irish Statistical
-Society. Anthony Hancock, who came from Ireland, resided in
-Boston in 1681, and he was evidently the founder of the family in
-America.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Equal to Hancock in patriotism and brilliant qualities was James
-Sullivan, who spent the last part of his life in Boston. He was a
-governor of Massachusetts, patriot, jurist, orator and author and
-shone conspicuously in his various roles. He was a brother of General
-John Sullivan, New Hampshire’s most distinguished Kelt,
-patriot, the soldier who struck the first blow for the freedom of his
-country, delegate to the Continental Congress, jurist and chief magistrate
-of the Granite State.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>These two great men were the sons of Owen Sullivan or O’Sullivan,
-who came from Ardea, Co. Kerry, while their mother was from
-Cork.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The year 1737 was notable in the annals of Boston as marking
-the birth of a lad who was destined, up to the present time, to
-become her greatest artist, “the American Vandyke,” as he was
-fittingly called. He was a painter of portraits and historical subjects,
-and doubtless many of you have seen some of the splendid
-works from his brush which enrich the Museum of Fine Arts. I
-refer to John Singleton Copley. He was the son of Irish parents
-(they were from County Clare), who settled in Boston in 1736.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Copley began his career under great disadvantages—without
-teacher or instruction, without model, without materials to practise.
-He even had to make his own palette and arrange what colors he
-used. Furthermore, he never saw a good picture until he left his
-native land. But notwithstanding all this, his genius triumphed.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>When twenty-three years old, Copley sent, without name or address,
-an exquisite portrait of his half-brother, entitled “The Boy
-and the Flying Squirrel,” to Benjamin West, the famous English
-painter, requesting that it be placed in the exhibition rooms of the
-Royal Academy in London. Though it was contrary to the rules
-of that institution to give such an honor to the work of unknown
-artists, this product of the young American Kelt was placed there
-because of its merits and through West’s influence. West himself
-made this comment on the painting: “What delicious coloring! It
-is worthy of Titian himself!”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Copley spent the latter part of his life in London, and after
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_91'>91</span>achieving the most brilliant success and receiving high honors, died
-in 1815.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Some of his biographers assert that Copley left America because
-of royalist tendencies, but this is untrue. He did so simply to perfect
-himself in his art. As a matter of fact, his sympathies and
-judgment were enlisted with his countrymen in their struggle for
-independence, as passages in his own and friends’ correspondence
-conclusively prove.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Among the Massachusetts men who signed the Declaration of
-Independence was Robert Treat Paine of Boston. Paine, according
-to what is believed to be good authorities, had Irish blood in his
-veins. He was the grandson of Robert Paine, who came here about
-the year 1698. This Robert Paine was a brother of Henry O’Neill
-of Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, a descendant of Shane the Proud,
-Prince of Ulster, and cousin of Sir Neal O’Neill, who perished in
-the Battle of the Boyne. Henry O’Neill changed his name to
-Paine, which had been borne by a parental ancestor, in order to
-preserve part of his estates. So says O’Hart, compiler of <cite>Irish
-Pedigrees</cite>.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Robert Treat Paine, signer of the Declaration of Independence,
-was born in Boston in 1731. He became a lawyer and conducted
-the prosecution of the English soldiers who perpetrated the “Boston
-Massacre,” as it is called. He served in the legislature and was
-a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1778. When
-the State Constitution of Massachusetts was adopted in 1780 he was
-made attorney-general and served as such for six years, then becoming
-a judge of the Supreme Court.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Two of his descendants and namesakes are today prominent citizens
-of Boston, one a successful business man, while the other, his
-son, a few years ago was the candidate for governor on the Democratic
-ticket.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The first indication of the Irish in Boston giving any evidence of
-national spirit occurred in 1737, on St. Patrick’s Day, when twenty-six
-Protestant Kelts—they all belonged to the Irish Presbyterian
-Church—organized the Charitable Irish Society to aid unfortunate
-fellow countrymen and to cultivate a spirit of unity and harmony
-among all Irishmen in the Massachusetts colony and their descendants
-and to advance their interests socially and morally. It has
-held meetings and celebrations from that day down to the present,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_92'>92</span>except during the Revolution, in which a number of members took
-part. It has the distinction of being the oldest Irish society in
-America. Some of the charter members were the founders of
-distinguished families.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>One of the founders was Peter Pelham, stepfather of Copley, the
-artist. He was an engraver, painter and father of fine arts. The
-same year the society was founded the selectmen granted him permission
-to open a school for the education of children in reading,
-writing, needle-work, dancing and the art of painting on glass, etc.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Major-General Henry Knox, that brilliant and dashing soldier of
-the Revolution, and secretary of war, was also a member, as were his
-father and two uncles. General Knox was born in Boston in 1760.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The membership roll also contained the names of Capt. Robert
-Gardner, a wealthy and prominent citizen; Rev. John Moorehead,
-pastor of the Irish Presbyterian Church; William Hall, who was the
-first president of the Society and was a constable in 1730; John
-McLean, a slater, and who made repairs on Faneuil Hall; Captain
-James McGee, who had command of a vessel in the service of the
-commonwealth of Massachusetts Bay and which was wrecked during
-a great storm in 1778, when seventy-two of the crew perished; and
-William Moroney. The diary of Lieutenant Burton, published in
-the Revolutionary rolls of New Hampshire, mentions the appointment
-by Washington of Mr. Moroney as provost marshal of the
-army.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Among the soldiers serving in the Revolution was the son of Mr.
-Greaton, who kept the Greyhound Tavern in Roxbury. That boy
-became known to fame as General John Greaton. He belonged to
-the first company of minute men raised in America in 1775, and was
-chosen major, lieutenant-colonel and colonel of Heath’s regiment.
-After the battle of Lexington he was engaged in the skirmishes
-about Boston until he joined that memorable excursion to Quebec.
-He served throughout our struggle for independence and was one of
-Washington’s most trusted officers.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>William Connolly was another Boston Kelt who fought in the
-Revolution. And so was Michael Cassady. Cassady was one of
-the patriots at Valley Forge.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Among the residents of Milton in colonial days was Anthony Gulliver,
-who was born in Ireland in 1619. He was the ancestor of a
-large number of able and influential men and women who have been
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_93'>93</span>prominent in public and religious affairs of Milton, Mass., for nearly
-two centuries.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'><cite>The Story of the Irish in Boston</cite> contains the following interesting
-paragraph about a member of the Gulliver family:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Capt. Lemuel Gulliver, who once lived at Algerine Corner, returned
-to Ireland in 1723 and gave a glowing description of the
-American country to his neighbor, Jonathan Swift. Lemuel’s imagination
-was vivid and fanciful and he turned it to a quaint account
-in this instance.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“He declared to Swift that ‘the frogs were as tall as his knees and
-had musical voices that were guitar-like in their tones; the mosquitoes’
-bills were as long as darning needles’; and from these exaggerated
-and fabulous accounts of the country the great Swift conceived
-and wrote the famous <cite>Gulliver’s Travels</cite>, which was published
-in 1726, displaying a unique union of misanthropy, satire, irony,
-ingenuity and humor.”</p>

-  <h2 class='c004'>CONCERNING “AN IRISH MAN-OF-WAR.”</h2>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c005'>Further information is wanted regarding the following incident
-mentioned in <cite>Winthrop’s History of New England</cite>: “A ship from
-the Colonies, carrying fourteen guns&nbsp;*&nbsp;*&nbsp;* on a voyage to
-the Canaries about the close of the year 1644, fought nearly all

-    <div>BY HON. A. L. MORRISON, SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO.</div>
-  </div>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c011'>As Monday will be the anniversary of New Orleans, I thought I
-would send you the inclosed letter from General Jackson [who was
-of Irish parentage], which will help you to celebrate the great event.
-The introduction is somewhat mutilated, but you can get enough
-from it to serve as an introduction to the letter. A number of
-years ago I visited New Orleans, and I need not tell you that one of
-my most pleasant recollections of the visit was inspecting the field
-where 1,500 Kentucky and Tennessee riflemen killed or wounded
-2,117 of England’s choicest troops, including their commander, General
-Pakenham, who was brother-in-law of the Iron Duke.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>I saw while on the field an unfinished monument in honor of the
-brave men who won the battle. I made all the inquiries possible
-about the monument (which I regarded as a monument of ingratitude),
-but could find no one who could give me any information
-concerning it. I even wrote to the <cite>Picayune</cite> suggesting that as the
-exposition to celebrate the Louisiana Purchase was about to be held,
-the event would be a good opportunity to raise the funds necessary
-to finish the monument, but nothing was done and it still remains
-as a reproach to the last generation as well as to this.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Of course you know that the treaty of Ghent was signed on Christmas
-Day, 1814, so it was three weeks after that that the battle was
-fought; but it came in time to redeem the series of blunders that
-characterized the so-called campaign on the Canadian frontier. In
-this connection permit me to say that the house we live in was
-bought from a gentleman whose two grandfathers were present at
-the battle. I knew a man when I was a boy who fought on the
-British side, and also fought on the fatal field of Waterloo, in the
-Twenty-seventh Inniskillen Foot.</p>
-
-<hr class='c012' />
-
-<p class='c011'>Following are the excerpts from General Jackson’s letter to which
-Mr. Morrison alludes above:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“The battle (says General Jackson) commenced at a very little
-before 7 a. m., January 8, 1815, and as far as the infantry was concerned
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_96'>96</span>it was over by 9 a. m. My force was very much mixed. I
-had portions of the 7th and 44th regular infantry regiments, Kentucky
-and Tennessee riflemen, Creoles, United States marines and
-sailors, Baratarian men—one of them, Captain Dominique You,
-commanded part of my artillery (and a famous gunner he was)—and
-two battalions of free negroes. I had in the action about 6,000
-men. The British strength was almost the same as mine, but vastly
-superior in drill and discipline. Of their force my riflemen killed
-and wounded 2,117 in less than an hour, including two general officers
-(both died on the field, each a division commander), seven full
-colonels, with seventy-five line and staff officers. I lost six killed
-and seven wounded.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“As to tactics, there were very little in use on either side. We
-had some works of earth fronting the river, but the Kentucky and
-Tennessee riflemen, who sustained the main attack, had protected
-themselves by a work about two feet and a half high, made of logs
-placed two feet apart, and the space between filled in with earth.
-This work began at the Mississippi River, and ended in the swamp,
-being at a right angle with the river.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Thinking this the weakest portion of our line, and seeing ununiformed
-men behind the trifling defenses, General Pakenham
-thought it the best thing to begin his attack by carrying this part
-of my line with the bayonet. On the 3d of January I had ordered
-that each rifleman’s powder-horn be filled, and enough lead for 100
-bullets issued, besides good material for bullet-patching be furnished.
-This order required every soldier to thoroughly clean his
-rifle and put a new flint into the hammer; so we were ready as we
-could be for the attack.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“There was a very heavy fog on the river that morning, and the
-British had formed and were moving before I knew it. The disposition
-of the riflemen was very simple. They were told off in numbers
-one and two. Number one was to fire first, then step back and
-let number two shoot while he reloaded. About six hundred yards
-from the riflemen there was a great drainage canal running back
-from the Mississippi River to the swamp in the rear of the tilled
-land on which we were operating. Along this canal the British
-formed under the fire of the few artillery pieces I had, near enough
-to them to get their range. But the instant I saw them I said to
-Coffee, whom I directed to hurry to his line, which was to be first
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_97'>97</span>attacked: ‘By ——, we have got them; they are ours!’ Coffee
-dashed forward, and riding along his line, called out, ‘Don’t shoot
-till you can see their belt-buckles.’ The British were formed in
-mass, well closed up, and about two companies front.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“The British, thus formed, moved on at a quick step, without
-firing a shot, to within one hundred yards of the kneeling riflemen,
-who were holding their fire till they could see the belt-buckles of
-their enemies. The British advance was executed as though they
-had been on parade. They marched shoulder to shoulder, with the
-step of veterans, as they were. At one hundred yards’ distance from
-our line the order was given, ‘Extend column front. Double quick,
-march! Charge!’ With bayonets at the charge, they came on us
-at a run. I own it was an anxious moment; I well knew the charging
-column was made up of the picked troops of the British army.
-They had been trained by the duke himself, were commanded by his
-brother-in-law, and had successfully held off the ablest of Napoleon’s
-marshals in the Spanish campaign. My riflemen had never
-seen such an attack, nor had they ever before fought white men.
-The morning, too, was damp; their powder might not burn well.
-‘God help us!’ I muttered, watching the rapidly advancing line.
-Seventy, sixty, fifty, finally forty yards were they from the silent
-kneeling riflemen.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“All of my men I could see was their long rifles rested on the logs
-before them. They obeyed their orders well; not a shot was fired
-until the redcoats were within forty yards. I heard Coffee’s voice as
-he roared out: ‘Now, men, aim for the center of the cross-belts! Fire!’
-A second after the order a crackling, blazing flash ran all along
-our line. The smoke hung so heavily in the misty morning air that
-I could not see what had happened. I called Tom Overton and
-Abner Duncan, of my staff, and we galloped towards Coffee’s line.
-In a few seconds after the first fire there came another sharp, ringing
-volley. As I came within one hundred and fifty yards of Coffee,
-the smoke lifted enough for me to make out what was happening.
-The British were falling back in a confused, disorderly mass, and
-the entire first ranks of their column were blown away. For two
-hundred yards in our front the ground was covered with a mass of
-writhing wounded, dead and dying redcoats.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“By the time the rifles were wiped the British line was reformed,
-and on it came again. This time they were led by General Pakenham
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_98'>98</span>in person, gallantly mounted, and riding as though he was on
-parade. Just before he got within range of Coffee’s line, I heard
-a single rifle-shot from a group of country carts we had been using,
-about one hundred and seventy-five yards distant, and a moment
-thereafter I saw Pakenham reel and pitch out of his saddle. I have
-always believed he fell from the bullet of a free man of color, who
-was a famous rifle-shot, and came from the Atakappas region of
-Louisiana. The second advance was precisely like the first in its
-ending. In five volleys the 1,500 or more riflemen killed and
-wounded 2,117 British soldiers, two thirds of them killed dead or
-mortally wounded. I did not know where General Pakenham was
-lying, or I should have sent to him, or gone in person, to offer any
-service in my power to render.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“I was told he lived two hours after he was hit. His wound was
-directly through the liver and bowels. General Keene, I hear, was
-killed dead. They sent a flag to me, asking leave to gather up their
-wounded and bury their dead, which, of course, I granted. I was
-told by a wounded officer that the rank and file absolutely refused
-to make a third charge. ‘We have no chance with such shooting as
-these Americans do,’ they said.”</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Commenting on the letter, and after referring to Napoleon’s expressions
-of admiration for the American leader’s action at New
-Orleans, William Hugh Roberts, the noted writer, said:</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“This concludes the material part of General Jackson’s letter.
-It was in the feverish glories of the Hundred Days that Napoleon
-came into possession of Mr. Monroe’s translation. There was no
-doubt about the facts. There happened to be abroad then in France
-two or three American gentlemen who were accustomed to the use
-of the rifle. One of them selected a weapon out of the four sent
-from America to the French emperor, and in Napoleon’s presence
-did some really excellent sharpshooting at one hundred yards.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>“Had Napoleon won Waterloo, it is possible that he would have
-organized a corps of sharpshooters and armed them with the American
-rifle, which was capable of a more deadly accuracy than any
-European arm of the kind, not excepting even the rifle of Switzerland.
-General Jackson repeated the compliment of Napoleon to
-the typical American weapon to General William Selby Harney,
-then a field officer of dragoons, who in turn related the incident to
-the writer.”</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='c005'>Eleanor Lexington, in the <cite>Buffalo Sunday News</cite>, states that Nathaniel
-Shannon, who was born in Ireland 1655, came to this country
-when he was thirty-two years old and made his home in Boston,
-where in 1701 he was a member of the Old South Church. Twenty-two
-years later he died, and the stone marking his grave in the Old
-Granary Burying Ground in Boston is still standing. Nathaniel’s
-brother, Robert, was mayor of Derry in 1689, and Nathaniel was
-also a man of affairs, holding many town offices. He was the first
-naval officer of the port of Boston and a merchant of prominence.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The papers now preserved in the Massachusetts State Archives
-show that he was a man of good education. His wife was Elizabeth,
-and their children were Nathaniel J., Robert, who is supposed to
-have died unmarried, and Samuel, who married Ann Miller. Nathaniel
-the second married Abigail Vaughan, whose father was one
-of the royal councillors and also chief justice of New Hampshire.
-Nathaniel and Abigail had two sons, Nathaniel and Cutts. The four
-children of Nathaniel were his namesake, and George, Margaret
-and Abigail. Nathaniel and his wife, Abigail Vaughan, lived in
-Portsmouth, N. H., where he was a ship merchant. He also lived
-in Ipswich. Among other records of this generation, still extant,
-is that of a deed conveying land to Jonathan Belcher, 1720. Nathaniel
-was a slave owner, and, by will, left negroes to his sons.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>We find that Dover, N. H., was another stronghold of the Shannons,
-and Thomas, who married Lilias Watson, held many town
-offices. In 1785 he was captain of the New Hampshire militia.
-“He was a zealous supporter of the Revolution and active in recruiting
-its armies.” He died in 1800, aged about fifty years.
-Heitman’s <cite>Officers of the American Revolution</cite> names William
-Shannon of Virginia, ensign and lieutenant. O’Seanchain is said
-to have been the first form of the surname, Shannon. From O’Seanchain
-to Shanahan, Shanason, is considered an easy feat to accomplish
-by those who are skilled in such matters. Then from Shanahan
-to Shanon or Shannon is as easy as rolling off the proverbial
-log. Seanchain or Seanchan is composed of two Celtic words,
-“seancha,” meaning an antiquarian or genealogist, and “an,” one
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_100'>100</span>who. Seanchan is, then, one who is an antiquarian. Old records
-frequently give the name as Shanon, or with one “n.” The O’Sheanchains
-have a long pedigree, belonging, as they do, to that branch
-of the Celtic race which alone of all European races of the period
-antedating the Christian era has maintained its identity to the present
-time.</p>

-    records of the City Fathers of proceedings in the Revolutionary period, and which 
-    the <span class='pageno' id='Page_105'>105</span>British took with them when they evacuated New York. Mr. McGowan has 
-    learned that the aldermanic records for that period are all that are required to make 
-    complete the city’s record of the legislative work done by the municipal authorities. 
-    There is a record showing that the missing papers were taken away by the English, and Mr. 
-    McGowan believes that if the British authorities were asked to return them they would

-    Board of Aldermen of the City of New York: Gentlemen:—It is my duty to inform your 
-    honorable body, for such action as you may deem fitting, of the death of Patrick Keenan, 
-    chamberlain of the city of New York. For seven consecutive terms a member of your 
-    honorable body, once your presiding officer, once clerk of the county of New York, and

-    <dd>A telegram published today states that a turret accident on board the battleship 
-    <i>Connecticut</i>, similar to those on the <i>Georgia</i> and several other of the U. S. 
-    big fighting ships, was averted by the presence of mind and heroism of Lieut. William 
-    Pigott Cronan, has just come to light through the summoning of a board of inquiry at the 
-    New York navy yard. According to the story, Lieutenant Cronan was in command of one of 
-    the eight-inch guns on the <i>Connecticut</i> during recent target practice off New 
-    England. As the powder charge was thrust into the gun, the lieutenant noticed that from a 
-    small hole in the bag a quantity of powder had escaped and fallen into the threads into 
-    which the breech-block of the gun screws. Realizing that the action of screwing the 
-    breach-block back home would ignite the powder before the block could be firmly screwed 
-    home, causing the entire charge to explode back into the turret, Lieutenant Cronan 
-    shouted an order which stopped every man in the turret, as he stood, except the man who 
-    was closing the breech of the gun. He did not hear the shout and continued to swing the 
-    block home. Lieutenant Cronan sprang forward and thrust his hand into the breech of the 
-    gun. The breech closed on his hand, badly mangling it and cleanly cutting off the first 
-    finger, which fell into the grooves and caused the closing mechanism to clog. The 
-    sailor <span class='pageno' id='Page_112'>112</span>at the breech of the gun fainted when he discovered what he had done and 
-    what he had narrowly escaped doing. If the breech had been closed it is likely that every 
-    man in the turret would have been killed. The board of inquiry was called to determine 
-    how the hole came into the powder bag. Cronan is a son of Patrick J. Cronan of New Haven. 
-    During the war with Spain, Lieutenant Cronan was highly commended for several acts of 
-    bravery. The following is another account: While the battleship <i>Connecticut</i> was 
-    engaged in target practice off Cape Cod last week, Lieutenant William P. Cronan 
-    undoubtedly prevented a repetition of the fatal explosion on the <i>Georgia</i> by 
-    staying the closing of the breech of the eight-inch barker in the after turret by 
-    inserting his fingers in the breech grooves just as the heavy butt of metal was swinging 
-    into place. When they swung back the breech-block the fragments of his first and second 
-    fingers, severed at the first joint, were found ground into the grooves. The 
-    <i>Connecticut</i> had joined the rest of the squadron in target practice off Cape Cod 
-    last week and all of the eight-inch guns were being worked. The firing was fast, it being 
-    a part of the test that the guns should be fired as rapidly and as accurately as 
-    possible, and in order to outdo the sailors on the other ships that were engaged in the 
-    practice, the <i>Connecticut’s</i> men were working hard to load, train and fire the four 
-    big tubes in the starboard and port turrets. The eight men working under command of 
-    Lieutenant Cronan in the aft starboard turret were swinging to their task like pieces of 
-    mechanism in a single machine. Two men worked the powder hoist from the magazines below, 
-    two swabbed out the gun after each shot, two lifted the bags of powder into the breech 
-    after the heavy shell had been placed, and one man swung back and locked the breech for 
-    the firing. It was bang! and in an instant the breech was open and the men were sucking 
-    in the powder fumes while they swabbed and hoisted and charged the big gun for another 
-    shot. The <span class='pageno' id='Page_113'>113</span>gun got so hot that it was difficult to place a hand on the breech 
-    without blistering it. The men with the water swabs kept the temperature down to the 
-    safety point inside the chamber, but even at that it was almost hot enough to flash 
-    powder and a little friction would have been enough to set off any spare grains.

-    <dd>A dispatch from Durham, N. H., which was published in the Boston <cite>Herald</cite> 
-    today, reads as follows: (Special Dispatch to the <cite>Sunday Herald</cite>.) Durham, N. 
-    H., Nov. 9.—For some years there has been a movement to restore the burial place of 
-    Maj.-Gen. John Sullivan, who died in Durham January 23, 1795. This labor of love, shared 
-    by many prominent people both in and out of Durham, is now completed. A substantial wall 
-    has been erected around the little cemetery, the lot has been cleared and graded, the 
-    gravestones reset and iron gates provided at the entrance. As marking the end of this 
-    labor, a Sullivan commemoration service has been planned for next Monday afternoon, and 
-    an invitation to attend the ceremonies is extended to all who cherish the dead general’s 
-    memory. Descendants of General Sullivan, members of the Grand Army posts and various 
-    historical societies and many others have already signified their intention of being 
-    present. The program will include an oration by the Rev. William Elliot Griffis, D. D., 
-    of Ithaca, N. Y., a celebrated authority on matters pertaining to General Sullivan. The 
-    faculty of the New Hampshire State College have volunteered to suspend college exercises 
-    during the ceremonies, and the student battalion and college brass band <span class='pageno' id='Page_114'>114</span>will 
-    perform escort duty. The procession will start from the Congregational Church at 2.30 
-    o’clock, proceeding to the cemetery, where the exercises will be held. The oration will 
-    be delivered at the church immediately afterward. The house General Sullivan occupied 
-    will be open for inspection by visitors during the day, also every department of the 
-    state college and its work, in which institution patriotism for present day needs is 
-    being nurtured.

-
-<h3 class='c006'>Rt. Rev. WILLIAM STANG. D.D.</h3>
-
-<p class='c015'>Bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Fall River, Mass., died
-February 2, at St. Mary’s Hospital, Rochester, Minn. He was born
-at Langenbruchen, Baden-Baden, Germany, on April 21, 1854. His
-early education was received in the German Gymnasia, but as he
-had chosen the career of a missionary, he made his theological studies
-in the American College at Louvain, Belgium, and was there ordained
-to the priesthood, on June 15, 1878. After a brief service
-as professor in his Alma Mater, he came to the United States in
-1879, and was accepted by the late Bishop Hendricken into the diocese
-of Providence, R. I. He adopted his new country in wholehearted
-fashion. In 1884, Father Stang was appointed rector of
-St. Anne’s Church, Cranston, R. I. He became rector of the
-Providence Cathedral, and held that important charge until 1895,
-when he returned to Louvain, to serve his church and country as
-vice-rector of the American College for a term of three years. Back
-to Providence in 1898, he organized and headed the Providence
-apostolate—a band of missionary priests organized especially for
-missions to non-Catholics. He was also rector of St. Edward’s
-Church for three years, and then chancellor, until the division of
-the diocese of Providence in 1904, and his appointment to the new
-diocese of Fall River. Bishop Stang was consecrated in the Providence
-Cathedral during the same year, on May 1. He managed to
-combine the arduous ordinary work of the priesthood with the special
-work of the continuous student and author. Almost from the first
-year of his priesthood he was writing for the Catholic magazines
-and bringing out books. His published works, the last of which
-was brought out since his consecration, are: “The Life of Martin
-Luther,” “The Eve of the Reformation,” “More About the Huguenots,”
-“Germany’s Debt to Ireland,” “Pastoral Theology,” “Historiographia
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_116'>116</span>Ecclesiastica,” “The Business Guide for Priests,” “Theologia
-Fundamentalis Moralis,” “The Devil, Who He Is,” “Spiritual
-Pepper and Salt,” and “Socialism and Christianity.” His last magazine
-article, “Father Denifle and His Great and Lasting Work,”
-appeared in the <cite>American Ecclesiastical Review</cite> for January, 1907.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c006'>JOHN B. SULLIVAN</h3>
-
-<p class='c015'>of New Bedford, Mass. He died there February 9. Mr. Sullivan
-was born in Castletown, County Cork, June 24, 1847, the son of
-Timothy and Honora (Harrington) Sullivan. He received a common
-school education in his native town and in 1867 came to this
-country and settled in New Bedford. He learned the stone mason’s
-trade, at which he worked until 1882, when he began contracting
-and building. The latter business he pursued with conspicuous success
-up to the time of his death, being associated for a number of
-years past with his son, Mark E. Sullivan. A number of noteworthy
-New Bedford buildings have been erected by Mr. Sullivan.
-Among them are St. Mary’s Home, St. Lawrence’s presbytery, the
-Holy Family School, the tower of St. Lawrence’s Church, St. James’
-Church, St. Mary’s Chapel, the Park Hotel, No. 8 Engine House,
-the Connell block on Purchase St., the Dawson building and the
-addition to St. Joseph’s Hospital. He built several schoolhouses
-for the city, and on the second set of plans for the high school was
-the lowest bidder. His firm secured the contract for finishing St.
-Anthony’s Church. Besides a large number of public buildings,
-Mr. Sullivan was an extensive builder of houses in the north part of
-the city. He carried on a stone quarry in addition to his building
-business. Mr. Sullivan was a trustee of St. Lawrence parish, a
-member of and one of the organizers of the Master Builders’ Association,
-and a member of the New Bedford Board of Trade, the
-Plymouth Club and Holy Name Society of St. Lawrence Church.
-In August, 1872, he married Miss Margaret Sullivan, who died,
-leaving one son, Mark E. By his second wife, who was Katherine
-E. Sullivan, he had two children, Mary and Frank.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c006'>OSBORNE HOWES.</h3>
-
-<p class='c015'>He was a descendant of David O’Killia, who settled on Cape
-Cod, Mass., as early as 1657. Osborne Howes was born in Boston
-in 1846 and was educated in private and public schools of the city.
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_117'>117</span>Soon after his graduation he entered the service of the Pacific Mail
-Steamship Company on the steamers of that line running between
-Panama, San Francisco and Hongkong. After three years thus
-spent on the Pacific coast, he went to New York City and there began
-a connection with newspaper work which continued almost up to the
-time of his death. Beginning in the office of the <cite>New York Tribune</cite>,
-he was afterward employed by the <cite>New York Times</cite>, serving on that
-paper during its exposé of the “Tweed ring.” In 1873 he accepted
-the position of secretary of the Boston board of fire underwriters, and
-was always thereafter identified with that body. Having resumed
-his residence in Boston, he was appointed from time to time to various
-public offices. As representative of the board of underwriters he
-was instrumental in having that board take action upon several important
-public questions. The resolution committing the associated
-board of trade to the principle that all future subways in Boston
-should be built under such conditions that they would ultimately
-revert to the city, was drawn up, presented and urged by him, and
-as a result of its adoption the Boston Associated Board of Trade
-was the foremost opponent on this question of excessive corporate
-demands. As a member of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
-Howes was chairman of its committee on the Isthmian canal, and
-vice-chairman of its committee on reciprocal trade relations with
-Canada. In this latter connection he addressed the boards of trade
-and chambers of commerce, not only of a number of the cities of
-New England, but those of New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Indianapolis
-and other cities of the West. In 1891, feeling convinced
-that it was desirable that public action should be taken toward educating
-young men to become competent seamen, he prepared, introduced
-and succeeded in having the legislature adopt a bill creating
-the Nautical Training School, which the commonwealth now maintains
-on board the U. S. S. <i>Enterprise</i>. From 1875 to 1877, inclusive,
-Mr. Howes was a member of the common council of Boston,
-representing the South End ward, in which he then resided. In
-1886 he moved his residence to the town of Brookline, and besides
-serving on various town committees, became a member of the rapid
-transit commission, to which he was appointed by Governor Russell;
-also a member of the metropolitan district (Greater Boston) commission,
-to which he was appointed by Governor Greenhalge. In
-1884 Mr. Howes was a member of the special committee of fifteen
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_118'>118</span>which prepared the new Boston city charter; he also served as one
-of the trustees of the public library. Mr. Howes in 1901, and again
-in 1902, was nominated as the Democratic candidate for the state
-senate in the second Norfolk district, but was defeated on both occasions.
-On the first occasion, in his letter of acceptance, he described
-the state platform of the Democratic party as “an attempt
-to bring back the government machinery of the commonwealth to
-something approaching the simplicity of its earlier days.” On the
-second he championed “more liberal and advantageous trade relations
-between New England and Canada.” In 1904 Mayor Collins
-appointed him to an unsalaried position as member of the board of
-building inspection. The following year Mr. Howes took a leading
-part as chairman of the committee on resolutions in preparing the
-platform of the Democratic party in the state contest. Mr. Howes
-was Japanese consul in Boston at the time of his death, which sad
-event took place April 9.</p>

-<h3 class='c006'>PETER McDONNELL.</h3>
-
-<p class='c015'>Born in Ireland, died aboard the White Star steamer <i>Oceanic</i>, in
-August, while returning from Ireland. Mr. McDonnell first came
-to this country when a young man. For a long time he had represented
-the railroads successfully at Castle Garden, the Barge Office
-and Ellis Island. He was also interested in the steamship business
-at the immigration station and carried on a big banking business at
-No. 2 Battery Place. When he went to his old home in Ireland in
-the spring he was in poor health. He was accompanied by his wife
-and one of his six sons. Mr. McDonnell was the secretary and a
-director of the Columbia Oil Company of New York, one of the
-few rivals of the Standard Oil Company, and a director of the New
-York Mortgage and Securities Company. He was a member of the
-Catholic Club and for many years of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick.
-When President Roosevelt was the guest of the latter organization
-in 1905, it will be remembered the birth of Mr. McDonnell’s
-grandson, which was announced at the dinner, was one of the features
-of the occasion.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c006'>JOHN B. SHEA.</h3>
-
-<p class='c015'>Born in Kenmare, Ireland, 1835; he came to this country when
-he was seven years of age. He died late in 1907. Mr. Shea was
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_119'>119</span>very successful in business. He went to work for Andrew Berrian,
-a pen manufacturer, in 1849, and after being employed by Bard
-Bros. of Philadelphia, Alexander Morton and Leroy W. Fairchild,
-he entered the factory of Aikin, Lambert &amp; Co., the Maiden Lane,
-New York, jewelers, as foreman. In 1869 he was admitted to partnership,
-and when the concern was incorporated, he became its vice-president,
-which position he held up to the time of his death. Mr.
-Shea never married and is survived by a sister, Mary, and a brother,
-Michael. He was a brother of the late Denis Shea, clothier of
-Broome and Crosby streets, who was the Republican district leader
-of the Second district from early in the 90s, until his death, about
-three years ago. John B. Shea was his trustee.</p>
-
-<h3 class='c006'>Rt. Rev. Mgr. THOMAS H. WALLACE.</h3>
-
-<p class='c015'>He was born in Somersworth, N. H. He died in Lewiston, Me.,
-November 1. After finishing his course in the Somersworth High
-School, he graduated in 1864, entered Holy Cross College, Worcester,
-Mass., and carried off the highest honors of his class at his
-graduation in June, 1868. In the following September he entered
-the Theological Seminary of St. Sulpice, Montreal. He was ordained
-priest by the first bishop of Portland, the Rt. Rev. David
-William Bacon, D. D., in the Cathedral, Portland, Me., August 5,
-1871. After his ordination he was first sent as assistant to the pastor
-at Waterville, whose parish included twelve or fifteen missions.
-Here the young priest began his mission work and displayed
-that tireless energy and zeal that gave promise of his future success.
-In 1872 he was transferred to St. Dominic’s Church in Portland
-to assist the Rev. Eugene M. O’Callaghan, who is now the Rt. Rev.
-Monseigneur, and vicar general of the diocese of Manchester, N. H.
-The careers of both priests have been very similar, each of them
-receiving the purple in 1905. Father Wallace succeeded Father
-O’Callaghan as rector of St. Dominic’s and to this day both are
-most lovingly remembered by the old members of the parish. In
-August, 1876, Father Wallace was appointed rector of St. Joseph’s,
-Lewiston, which has been the scene of his labors for the past thirty-one
-years. He found St. Joseph’s with a debt which he set to work
-at once to pay off. In March, 1880, he purchased the Bonallie
-Block on Main Street. He remodelled this block and fitted it for a
-school for the girls of the parish at an expense of $30,000. He
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_120'>120</span>placed the school under the charge of the nuns of Notre Dame from
-Montreal. In 1886 he purchased the fine property at the corner of
-Bates and Walnut streets, at a cost of $25,000. This lot fronts on
-the City Park and is the most beautiful site for a church in the
-state. He began work at once on the foundation of the church and
-on June 24, 1887, the corner stone was laid by the lamented Bishop
-Healy, with appropriate ceremonies. The dedication sermon was
-preached by the Rt. Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, D. D., who is now
-bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles, Cal. The first mass in the
-sacred edifice was celebrated in 1890.</p>

-<p>HON. FELIX CARBRAY, M. R. I. A.,<br /><br />A MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY, RECENTLY DECEASED.</p>
-</div>

-<div>
-  <span class='pageno' id='Page_121'>121</span>
-  <h3 class='c006'>Hon. FELIX CARBRAY, M. R. I. A.</h3>
-</div>
-
-<p class='c015'>A native of Quebec, born in 1835. He died in Quebec in December,
-1907. His parents were from the County Tyrone, Ireland,
-and came to Canada in the early 30s. The father, Niall Carbray,
-was born at Carrickcastle, near Dungannon. The old Carbray homestead
-still exists there and is occupied by a member of the family.
-His mother was Catherine Connolly, a native of Clogher, County
-Tyrone. Felix, the son, subject of this sketch, was educated at private
-schools and at the Christian Brothers, in his native city. Endowed
-with natural talents of no ordinary character and with a
-thirst for knowledge, he applied himself earnestly in the effort to
-improve his education in every possible way. He distinguished
-himself in mathematics and literature. He was endowed with a
-great aptitude for the acquisition of foreign languages, and was
-familiar with the Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French. He
-was as thoroughly familiar with French as with English. Thus
-well equipped with a superior education and a worthy ambition to
-make his mark in life, he began a business course in April, 1854,
-as an accountant, which he continued in some of the leading houses
-in his native city for fifteen years. In May, 1869, he opened an
-office as a general commission and shipping merchant, which from
-the beginning was most successful. In the spring of 1870, he took
-as partner, Francis Routh, son of the late Sir Randolph Routh.
-His mother was a Taschereau, sister of the late Cardinal Taschereau
-and of the late Chief Justice Taschereau. The new firm, Carbray
-&amp; Routh, which a few years later became Carbray, Routh
-&amp; Co., opened an office also in Montreal, Mr. Carbray managing
-the business of the Quebec office and Mr. Routh that of the Montreal office. The new firm had a long, prosperous and honorable
-career. No firm was more widely known all over the business world,
-nor did any stand higher for integrity and honor. The partnership,
-having expired in 1900, was dissolved and the affairs liquidated;
-this being found to the mutual advantage of the associates.
-Mr. Carbray continued the business at Quebec with his son, William,
-under the name of Carbray, Son &amp; Co., and Mr. Routh that of
-Montreal under the style of F. A. Routh &amp; Co. Both firms have
-been very successful and bid fair to go on down the generations like
-many of the old houses of Europe. The high character and abilities
-of Felix Carbray at an earlier date attracted the attention of his
-fellow citizens, and every mark of esteem and confidence was shown
-him. He loved Ireland, the land of his fathers, with an intense
-love, and threw himself heart and soul into every movement tending
-to promote her cause or the welfare of his race. No Irishman of
-his time in Quebec did more to raise the prestige of the Irish race
-and the cause of Ireland among the peoples of other races.
-In 1883, <cite>Redpath’s Weekly</cite> says of Mr. Carbray: “He is a
-gentleman of high culture and deep learning. His linguistic attainments
-are also remarkable. He speaks the French and English
-languages with equal fluency, and as both are used in the Quebec
-legislature, Mr. Carbray addresses the house in one or the other
-with equal elegancy, as circumstances may require. He also converses
-freely in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. The high esteem
-in which he is held by his Irish fellow citizens is best shown by the
-fact that they have never missed an occasion to put him in every
-place of honor and trust within their gift. He is at present their
-worthy representative in the parliament of the Province of Quebec,
-as a member of the West Division of the city, which, though it contains
-the leading British commercial men of Quebec, is controlled
-by the Irish vote. Mr. Carbray is an eloquent and forcible orator,
-his recent speech on the occasion of the reading of ‘the speech from
-the throne,’ having been pronounced by the Canadian press as the
-most remarkable English speech ever delivered in the Quebec legislature.
-In his public capacity Mr. Carbray has never made an
-enemy, while as a private citizen he has hosts of friends.” Rose, in
-his <cite>Cyclopedia of Canadian Biography</cite>, says of him: He was educated
-at Quebec, where he has resided throughout his life, though
-he has traveled extensively in America and Europe, principally on
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_122'>122</span>business connected with the trade in lumber, in which his house is
-engaged. He was one of the pioneers of the lumber trade between
-the St. Lawrence and South America, and is still largely interested
-in it. In addition to his other duties, he fills the important position
-of consul of Portugal at the port of Quebec. A Catholic in religion,
-Mr. Carbray has been honored by the St. Patrick’s congregation of
-Quebec with election and re-election as one of the trustees, and is also
-a trustee of that noble Irish Catholic charity, the St. Bridget’s Asylum
-of Quebec. He has taken an equally active and leading part in all the
-local national movements of his fellow countrymen, and has been
-president of the St. Patrick’s Literary Institute, the Irish National
-Association, and other Irish bodies in Quebec. He is a Liberal-Conservative
-in politics, and at the provincial general elections in 1881,
-yielding to the solicitations of his friends, he ran as the party candidate
-for the electoral division of Quebec West, and, after a hard
-fight, was elected by a good majority to represent that constituency
-in the legislative assembly in the province. His parliamentary
-career was very creditable. Though he did not often address the
-house, he was always listened to with the utmost respect, being an
-equally good speaker and debater in both English and French, and
-never wasting his powder except on serious and interesting subjects
-with which he was most conversant, such, especially, as questions of
-finance and commerce. In May, 1854, he married Miss Margaret
-Carberry, a daughter of the late William Carberry of Carrick-on-Suir,
-Ireland, of whom he had four sons and six daughters. Those
-still living are: Herbert of Montreal; William, Quebec; Thomas
-John, a promising lawyer; Mrs. P. L. Connor, Boston; Mrs. Alfred
-Carroll, Montreal, and Grace. His youngest daughter, Grace, and
-son, Thomas, live with him at “Benburb Place,” and the Ramparts.
-Mrs. Carbray died in May, 1895. She was a patriotic Irish woman
-and revered and esteemed for her piety and devotedness to God’s
-poor. In October, 1902, he married Miss Brigid Carberry—widow
-of the late Nicholas K. Connolly—sister of his first wife.
-The marriage ceremony was performed at St. Gabriel’s Church, New
-York, by Archbishop Farley. She died on July 1, 1903, deeply
-regretted by her sorrowing husband and all who knew her. A most
-amiable lady and, like her sister, devoted to the poor. Mr. Carbray
-filled many distinguished positions in his life; he is held in high
-esteem by his fellow citizens of all races, creeds and politics. He
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_123'>123</span>was a member of the Quebec Harbor Commission, of the Quebec
-Board of Trade, consul for Portugal, and, being the oldest consul
-here, is dean of the Consular Corps, senior trustee of St. Patrick’s
-Church, of the St. Bridget’s Asylum Association, president of the
-United Irish League, etc., etc. Mr. Carbray was an ardent upholder
-of the movement for the revival of the Irish language. He delivered
-a lecture on this subject at Tara Hall, Quebec, in April, 1899, which
-displayed profound knowledge of the subject, and attracted the
-attention and encomiums of the whole Celtic world. Mr. Carbray
-had a collection of books on Ireland which formed probably the
-best of its kind in Canada. He was a member of the Royal Irish
-Academy.</p>

-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 <i>May Queen</i>, a regular Baltimore
-and Rio packet, 1872. He then had command of the ship <i>Pilgrim</i>
-of Boston, and made several voyages to the East Indies. In 1884 he was
-given command of the <i>Charger</i>, a larger and finer ship than the <i>Pilgrim</i>,
-and sailed to ports in Japan. He next had command of the <i>South American</i>,
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_128'>128</span>“the Commodore’s ship,” of the Hastings fleet (Boston), and took
-her to Australia and other parts. He made several record voyages during
-his career, and some of these records still stand, having never been
-equalled. On one occasion he was wrecked off the coast of Africa; he
-and his wife upon being rescued were hospitably entertained by the Boers
-of the adjacent country. Returning to East Dennis, Mass., his wife’s
-health became poor and so he removed with her to Coronado, Cal., hoping
-that the change of climate would benefit her, but she died in 1901. She
-had accompanied her husband on several of his voyages, and had with
-him visited many parts of the world. Captain Connolly has written much
-and entertainingly. He has at present in manuscript form a novel of
-ocean life entitled <cite>The Magic of the Sea</cite>.</p>

-
-<p class='c022'><strong>Doyle, John F.</strong>, of John F. Doyle &amp; Sons, 45 William Street, New York
-City. (Life member of the Society.) Mr. Doyle is the senior member
-of the real estate firm of John F. Doyle &amp; Sons. He was born in New
-York City, 1837, a son of James Doyle, who participated in the Irish revolution
-of 1798, and who came to the United States early in 1806. This
-James Doyle, the immigrant, had a son who was killed in the Florida
-war of 1837, and a grandson who fell in 1861, fighting for the Union.
-John F. Doyle, the subject of this sketch and member of the Society,
-entered the law office of Alexander Hamilton, grandson of the first secretary
-of the treasury, afterwards the firm of Hamilton, Rives &amp; Rogers,
-and remained with them from 1853 to 1869, in the meantime studying
-law and being admitted to the bar in 1862. Alexander Hamilton, Francis
-R. Rives, a son of William C. Rives, of Virginia, at one time minister to
-France and senator, and Nathan Pendleton Rogers, all of the old Revolutionary
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_132'>132</span>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 so many years ago. During his career Mr. Doyle has
-met and done business with some of the most notable men connected with
-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.</p>

-<p class='c022'><strong>Hanrahan, John D.</strong> (M. D.), Rutland, Vt., a native of County Limerick,
-Ireland; was graduated in medicine from the University of the City of
-New York, 1867; in June, 1861, he was, on examination (not having
-graduated), appointed surgeon in the United States Navy, and served
-through the entire Civil War. The vessels on which he served did duty
-mostly on the rivers of Virginia and North Carolina, where he served
-with the army as well as the navy, thereby having the benefit and experience
-of both branches of the service, especially in the surgical line. In
-August, 1863, the vessel on which he was serving was captured at the
-mouth of the Rappahannock River and all on board made prisoners.
-They were taken overland to Richmond where they were confined in Libby
-Prison. At that time the Confederates were very short of surgeons and
-medical supplies, and he was asked if he would go over to Belle Island
-and attend the Union prisoners. After consulting his fellow-prisoners he
-consented, and for six weeks he attended the sick and wounded Union
-prisoners faithfully, under very great disadvantages, as the appliances
-were very limited. After that he was paroled. While a prisoner of war
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_137'>137</span>he was treated with the greatest courtesy and consideration by the medical
-staff and officers of the Confederacy. After the close of the war he was
-settled in New York City, but for nearly forty years has been a resident
-of Rutland, Vt. He was town and city physician of Rutland for many
-years. He was appointed surgeon of the Third Vermont Regiment, 1871,
-by Governor Stewart; was the first president of the Rutland County
-Medical and Surgical Society; has been a director and consulting surgeon
-of the Rutland (Vt.) Hospital; consulting surgeon to the Fanny Allen
-Hospital, Winooski, Vt.; a member of the Vermont Sanitary Association,
-and a member of the Vermont Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis;
-president of Rutland Village two years and trustee eight years; county
-commissioner one year; president, United States pension examining board
-four years under President Cleveland, and president of the same board
-four years under President Harrison. He was postmaster of Rutland
-during the second term of President Cleveland. He has since its organization
-been an active member of the G. A. R.; surgeon of Roberts Post,
-the largest in Vermont; has served three terms as medical director of the
-Department; served on the staffs of three commanders-in-chief—Veasy,
-Palmer and Weissert; a member of Commander-in-Chief Stewart’s staff.
-Doctor Hanrahan is the author of several medical papers, has performed
-many surgical operations, and has served through several epidemics of
-smallpox and diphtheria. He was a delegate to the Democratic National
-conventions of 1884, 1888, and chairman of the Vermont delegation to
-the National Convention of 1892. Also a delegate to the Democratic
-National Convention in St. Louis, 1904, and to the Ancient Order of
-Hibernians convention in St. Louis, July 19, 1904.</p>

-
-<p class='c022'><strong>Kelly, John Forrest</strong> (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
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_139'>139</span>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 a 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='c022'><strong>McClure, David</strong>, lawyer, 22 William Street, New York City. Mr. McClure
-was admitted to the bar in December, 1869, in New York City, where he
-has since resided. His practice has brought him very prominently before
-the courts and public during the last thirty-six years as counsel in cases
-which have attracted much attention. He has been counsel in many contested
-will cases, including those of Merril, Schuyler Skatts, Charles B.
-Beck and Mary Johnson. In the Livingston, De Meli and General Burnside
-litigation he was also prominent.  He has been connected with many
-large corporation foreclosure suits, including those of the Denver Water
-Company, the New York &amp; Northern Railroad Company, Omaha Water
-Company, the Toledo, Ann Arbor &amp; Northern Michigan, the Northern
-Pacific, the New York, Lake Erie &amp; Western, the Oregon Railway &amp;
-Navigation Company, the Oregon Improvement Company, the Chicago &amp;
-Northern Pacific Company, the Bankers and Merchants’ Telegraph Company,
-and the Memphis &amp; Charleston Railroad Company. He is regarded
-as one of the most successful trial lawyers at the bar in New York. Mr.
-McClure for more than a quarter of a century has been counsel for the
-Farmers Loan &amp; Trust Company, the oldest and largest trust company
-in the United States, organized in 1821; and for many years of the Consolidated
-Gas Company, one of the largest public service corporations in
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_143'>143</span>the country. He is also counsel for the West Side Savings Bank, several
-fire insurance companies and other banks. He was one of the counsel for
-the Mutual Life Insurance Company during the presidency of F. S.
-Winston. For years he was a director in the Lawyers Surety Company,
-and he is on the board of the Title Insurance Company of New York.
-He was a prominent and active member of the State Constitution Convention
-of 1894, in which body he introduced and carried through the
-amendment providing for protection of the forests of New York. He years
-ago declined elevation to the bench of the Court of Appeals, the highest
-court in the state of New York, and several times to other positions;
-also appointment to the offices of corporation counsel of the city of New
-York, and district attorney of the United States. Mr. McClure was appointed,
-in 1893, receiver of the National Bank of Deposit, in the city of
-New York, and in spite of the stringent financial condition which prevailed
-during the summer of that year, dividends aggregating seventy-five
-per cent were paid within three months. The entire indebtedness, principal
-and interest, was paid and the receivership closed out within one year.
-In 1892 he was a delegate from the state of New York to the National
-Democratic Convention which, at Chicago, nominated Grover Cleveland
-as candidate for the office of president of the United States, and during
-the campaign of that year he was much discussed by the press of New
-York as the probable nominee of his party for the office of mayor of the
-city. In that year he was designated by the General Term of the Supreme
-Court, chairman of the first commission appointed to determine
-whether a subway passing under Broadway and other streets through the
-city should be constructed, his associates being Robert Maclay, president of
-the Knickerbocker Trust Company, and Benjamin Perkins. Prior to the
-adoption by the United States government of the Panama Canal project,
-and during the presidency of Mr. McKinley, one of the largest, if not
-the largest, syndicates of moneyed men ever gathered together obtained a
-concession from the government of Nicaragua for the construction of a
-canal known as the Nicaragua Canal. This syndicate, which proposed to
-build the canal without government aid, was composed of the Messrs.
-Vanderbilt, Astor, Rockefeller, Mills, Stillman, Grace, Crimmins, and
-others of equal standing, and was represented before the committee of
-Congress upon the question of recognition and protection, by Mr. McClure
-as its counsel, he having organized the corporation under which it
-was proposed to operate. Mr. McClure is a member of the Manhattan,
-New York Athletic and other clubs, and the Bar Association; of which
-he has been a member of the judiciary and other committees. He has
-also been honored with the presidency of the Metropolitan Surety
-Company.</p>

-was ordered to duty as executive officer of the U. S. S. <i>Unadilla</i>; succeeded
-to the command of the <i>Unadilla</i> in June, 1869, and in November of
-that year was detached from the <i>Unadilla</i> and ordered to the U. S. S.
-<i>Iroquois</i>; returned in her to the United States, the ship going out of commission
-in April, 1870. In April, 1870, he was promoted to be lieutenant-commander
-and while in that grade served on the double-turreted monitor
-<i>Terror</i>, the <i>Wachusett</i>, <i>Juniata</i> and <i>Marion</i> as executive officer, and at
-the League Island, Philadelphia and Brooklyn navy yards. In January,
-1887, he was promoted to commander; commanded the <i>Swatara</i>, <i>St.
-Mary’s</i>, <i>Portsmouth</i> and <i>Alliance</i>, and was also commandant of the naval
-training station at Newport, R. I., from December, 1896, to July, 1899.

-the U. S. S. <i>Monadnock</i> at Manila. In November, 1900, he was ordered
-to duty as commandant of the naval station at Key West, Fla. In April,
-1901, he was detached and ordered before the retiring board. He was

-Engineers and Naval Architects. He is also a member of the following
-clubs: the Metropolitan and Chevy Chase of Washington, D. C.; the
-Rittenhouse of Philadelphia, the Union of New York, and the New York
-Yacht Club. Admiral McGowan’s father, Capt. John McGowan, was

-vice-president for Georgia, American Bankers’ Association. Colonel Sanders
-<span class='pageno' id='Page_154'>154</span>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.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p class='c005'>The Society was organized on January 20, 1897, in Boston, Mass.,
-and now has members in many states, the District of Columbia, one
-territory and two foreign countries.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>Briefly stated, the object of the organization is to make better
-known the Irish chapter in American history.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>There are two classes of members in the organization,—Life and
-Annual. The life membership fee is $50 (paid once). The fee for
-annual members is $5, paid yearly. In the case of new annual members,
-the initiation fee, $5, also pays the membership dues for the
-first year.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The board of government comprises a president-general, a vice-president-general,
-a secretary-general, a treasurer-general, a librarian
-and archivist, and an executive council. There are also state vice-presidents.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Society has already issued several bound volumes and a number
-of other publications. These have been distributed to the members
-and to public libraries; also to historical organizations and to
-universities. Each member of the Society is entitled, free of charge,
-to a copy of every publication issued from the time of his admittance.
-These publications are of great interest and value, and are more than
-an equivalent for the membership fee.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The Society draws no lines of creed or politics. Being an American
-organization in spirit and principle, it welcomes to its ranks
-Americans of whatever race descent, and of whatever creed, who
-take an interest in the objects for which the Society is organized.
-Membership application blanks will be furnished on request.</p>
-
-<p class='c011'>The membership includes many people of prominence, and has
-been addressed by many distinguished men. It occupies a position
-in the front rank of American historical organizations.</p>

-throughout the book is such as to beget love of the race and an interest
-to continue reading. And you build up the glorious edifice of true American-Irish
-history by simply claiming your due and disparaging no man. This intention,
-your illustrious President-General McGowan, in his address to the
-members of the Society, has chivalrously expressed in these memorable words:
-“We rob no race to gild the Irish name when we undertake to unearth the
-records of the past.... 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.... 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>

-1.B. &#8220;Project Gutenberg&#8221; is a registered trademark. It may only be

-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works if you follow the terms of this

-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (&#8220;the
-Foundation&#8221; or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg&#8482; mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg&#8482;
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg&#8482; License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg&#8482; work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country other than the United States.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
-visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in

-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
