General Notes:

Edna Harvey Joseph writes:

    At one time some immigrant ships were becalmed in the Irish harbor for several weeks, all ready to sail for America. One night young William, then 14 years old, went to stay over night with some boy friends on board one of the ships; in the night a wind arose and they all put out to sea. The boy was thus unwittingly brought to America. They landed on the shores of North Carolina, and the Captain bound him out for seven years to a blacksmith who paid his passage. None of the other members of the family ever came over.

    While the ship was discharging its cargo and passengers, William and another little Irish boy went ashore into an orchard to gather some apples. Little Irish boys of their age in those days wore only tow or linen shirts reaching down to their ankles; the boys using those like aprons filled them and started back to the ship. They had heard that there were blacksnakes in America and that they could fly. Seeing a little negro boy, naked, asleep under a tree, they thought it was a blacksnake and commenced throwing stones at it to make it fly; the little black boy jumped up and ran away; the two Irish boys were so frightened they dropped their apples and fled back to the ship, and told that they had seen a blacksnake.

    When William was 21, his foster father gave him a horse and saddle and $100.00 in money. He afterward learned the hatter's trade and became a manufacturing hatter with a plant employing twenty to thirty hands, which in those days when everything was made by hand was considered a large business. His second sight came to him 15 years before he died.
