I have to say before I go any further that I feel that Father Hoare, was confused on his *Promised Land* to be sure everyone knows its just outside of Devonport Tasmania Australia, the place carries the name*Promised Land* along with a sign that says No Where Else. But as the Promised land Father Hoare was heading to was in the opposite direction, I thought ( and I have persmission) just do a cross section of some of the Irish names that went with this movement. Should I miss anyone then dont be telling me I missed them, tell the list about them, after all if you know about them then they are your ancestors, you would certainly know more of them than any of us. Fort Smith Names that were looked at in later census, after this movement were Andrew Hendricks he arrived in 1853 a little later than the earlier settlers, to thistownship. The family of Breen which had left Ireland Consisted of James aged 57 years his wife Fanny aged 53, with there children Anne 20, John 22, Margaret 11,Patrick and Peter aged 18 years, William 9 and MAry Aged 13 years, Mary, sadly died in Roseville, and was buried there later to be moved to Calvary Cemetery. James followed his profession of Ireland -Farming William aged 9 when he arrived in Fort Smith, went on to be a successful man in business and later he became an officer in the United States Courts He also spent time in the Fort Smith Rifles. Margaret Aged 11 years was to marry Andrew Handrick c 1856 and went on to have 12 children .... William and Mary Dagg former tennants of the Fitzwilliam estate, and it has been wondered if Mary was indeed his first wife and not his sister, but William did marry a woman called Martha Kirk and by her had five children, and is supposed to be buried in the Sugarloaf Mountain Area south of Hartford. Bryan O'Keefe with his family Mary 34 yrs and sone John who was 14 years also lived at Fort Smith or indeed within the area of this township. The Kelly family consisted of Tobias his wife Mary sons James, Nicholas, George, and daughters Betty and Biddy, where this family went to or what they did has remained a mystery unless someone on this list can enlighten us but they did leve behind in Co Wicklow a legacy of one son Patrick he a butcher like the rest of the family .......what became of that young man? Family historians have stated that this family may have stopped off in Roseville or Clarkesville east of Fort Smith.......did they I would indeed like to know if they did? There youngest son adding to the mystery left Liverpool on the Empire Queen and arrived in New Orleans September 4th 1850, but he did settle in the Fort Smith area and practiced the family trade with his brother of Butchering cattle and pigs in America. 1862 saw him enlist and he he joined the Captain Luney Brewner Compnay 1st regiment Creek Mounted Volunteers, Confederate states of America at Cloaska, Cherokee nation now Oklahoma, Surviving the war in 1866 he married Mary Neville and fathered 14 children, turned his hand to prospecting for a while, but in 1883 returned to the butchering business and was to have a business called "Kelly and SOn, Dealers in Fresh Meats" All of he above except Tobias Jnr. were Ticonderoga passengers.
