    1. [KIRWIN-L] Names of KERWINs on "Ticonderoga"
    2. Tom Fitzsimmons
    3. The book is "A Farewell to Famine," by Jim Rees, Arklow Enterprise Center, Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, 1994. ISBN 0 9522029 5 6, paperback and 0 9522029 0 5, hardcover. Here are the KERWIN names among "The Emigrants" with their ages: Catherine and Winnefred aren't marked as being in the same family, but the others are: KERWIN Catherine 18 KERWIN James 22 KERWIN James 60 KERWIN John 24 KERWIN John 40 KERWIN Winnefred no age given The emigrants arrived in Liverpool from Ireland in October, 1850. The Ticonderoga left Liverpool October 24, 1850 and arrived at New Orleans December 3, 1850. I haven't read the whole book yet, but it sounds as though the destination was meant to be Fort Smith, Arkansas, but some went to St Louis, and others further north to Wexford, Iowa. The Fitzwilliam estate in Co. Wicklow seemed to be where most of the emigrants came from.
