Hi Viola, "A Farewell to Famine" is a book about the emigration of 1000 people from their homes in counties Wicklow and Wexford under the direction of an ageing priest, Fr. Thomas Hore. In the alphabetical listing of those people is Thomas Hore, age 54, on the "Ticonderoga" They were heading for Little Rock, Ark., but some went to other places, including Wexford, Iowa, where there is a stained glass window in the Immaculate Conception Church: " IN MEMORY OF REV. THOMAS HOARE DONATED BY THE FIRST SETTLERS" I realize that this is much later than the 1798 rebellion, but there could be some distant connection with your family. Chapter 1, The Shaping of Thomas Hore: "....His exact date of birth is unknown but it was either 1795 or the following year. His father, Edmond, lived at the descriptively named townland of Coldblow, Broadway in the parish of Our Lady's Island. The other members of the family were Thomas's mother, Alicia, and his three brothers, at least two of whom were older than he. Apparently their branch was the senior branch of that Hore family There follows a brief history of the Hore family (Norse origin) and of the region. There is only a brief mention of the 1798 uprising, when he was 2 years old. Hope you can find a connection here, and hopefully obtain a copy of the book for yourself. My approx. 6"x9" paperback was $17.95, printed in England, author: Jim Rees. I don't recall where I got my copy, probably ordered it online. Good Luck!
