I'm responding to the information kindly sent to the IRISH-AMERICAN & IRELAND Groups by Jean Rice. I've listed below further sites which may be of interest to anyone researching this area, a distant relative of mine was one of the Overseers, a William J McCully. I have a 1880 Census Listing for New York [Manhattan] of the names of children, on that day and time, who were resident and being cared for by William J McCully and his wife, Hannah Johnston. William J McCully finally settled in Clay Co, Kansas where he continued to act as an Overseer for the Childrens Aid Society and the "orphan Train". If anyone is interested the names listed are: McCULLY Hannah McCULLY William McCULLY William, ADAM Henry BARRETT Sarah BAUR Bernard BENCH James BENN William BLAKE Adam BOTHER John BOTTA Frederick BRADY George BURKE Lawrence BURKE William CARR James CAVANAGH John CLEMENTS William CONDITE Fletcher CONLY Thomas CONLY William DILLON William DIZEREUS Emille ELLIOT James FITZSIMMON James FLYNN Patrick FORD Daniel GOTTSCHALK William HALL James HANAGAN Christie HUNT Fredk HYDT George JACKSON James JACKSON John JOHNSON William, JOHNSON William KING William LYNCH Frank MAHARDELL Joseph MAHARDELL Patrick McDONALD Andrew McLOUGHLIN Michl McNALLY Michael MILLER Edward MOORE John MULLIGAN James MULLIGAN Owen MURPHY Michael NUGENT Daniel O’BRIEN John POLLOCK William REGAN Edward ROLLINSON Kate RUDOLPH William RUMBEL Henry RUSH Michael RYAN John RYDER James SHERWOODJames SIMMONS Robert SMALLWOOD Geo SMITH William SPIEGEL John STAMFORD James STEPHENSON John STOWBRIDGE Robert TIERNY James WALKER Fredk.
