Especially for Jean McCarthy and for Paula - My own male ancestor from Antrim, Archy Wiseman (1813 -1853) left there in 1833 (from Ballywatermoy Townland in what was then Ahoghill Parish), with a lady who I presume may have been his wife (even though he was only 20 years old). The 1833 Ordnance Survey for Antrim County states that he (and she) were "bound for America." However, he and his companion /lady/wife/sister (?) did not ship out to New York from Liverpool until 1836, so I have assumed that they had to work somewhere in order to earn the transatlantic passage money. They arrived in New York, and the next thing I know about him is that in December, 1838, he had married an entirely different lady in Newburgh, NY, where his older brother and the brothers' family had already settled. This later union is one of the many ancestral connections ultimately that have permitted me to exis today.t. Where Archy worked to earn passage is unknown, but it surely wasn't back in Ballywatermoy. Bob Wilson Stamford, CT The Bark "Lanark" brought A. Wiseman from Liverpool in 1836. The ship "Adam Carr" brought the J. McNeals from Glasgow in 1845 The ship "Macedonia" maybe brought J. Gaffney from Liverpool in 1846. The ship "Underwriter" brought C. Cavanaugh from Liverpool in 1853. The M. Redmonds came over from County Wexford to Illinois in 1850. --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
