Does anyone know or have any knowledge of the Irish that settled in Newburgh between 1850-60? I wondered if there were any particular Irish county that most of them emigrated from. I have ancestors of Irish descent but I can't seem to find out where in Ireland they were from. Also, does anyone know why so many Irish came to Newburgh? If you look in the 1860 census, there a lot of people that were born in Ireland. Robin Newburgh
