May 1849 ship Lady Harvey, Kilrush to NYC

[smcarberry]

A Kilrush sailing is described in this biography from a Minnesota local history book:

"McInnery, Patrick M.,
(page 958) merchant, Lake City, is a native of Mount Rivers, County Clare, Ireland, and was born in 1822. His early boyhood was spent on a farm, after which he received a classical education, which was completed by a collegiate course at Ennis, the seat of government in his native county; soon after he received a government appointment as superintendent of public works. These works were suspended in 1848, and on April 22, 1849, he sailed on the Lady Harvey from Kilrush, on the Shannon, for New York. This bark was commanded by Capt. Douglass, who sailed her safely into New York harbor on the 27th of the following May. The first position of trust filled by Mr. McInerney in the country, was in the Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane, in the city of New York. This position he resigned in a few months, notwithstanding the many and urgent protestations of Dr. Nickols, who was at that time at the head of that institution, to accept a position as assistant bookkeeper for a large wholesale house in New York city. For a short time in 1851 he was connected with the New York and Erie railway, and in 1852 came to Chicago, to take charge of a construction train on the old Chicago & Galena railroad. He subsequently accepted a position on the Illinois Central railway at Freeport, Illinois. In 1855 he arrived at Pepin, Wisconsin, and there engaged in the transaction of a real-estate business; was postmaster at Pepin during the administration of James Buchanan, and, upon the organization of the county of Pepin, was appointed clerk of the circuit court for the Eighth judicial district. In the fall of 1874 he removed to Lake City, and the next spring embarked in a general merchandise business and is now in trade on Centre street."

The Ellis Island website shows these to be the passengers from Ireland on that sailing, with first the two men named Pat McInernery, who also are shown later with their kin:

An online index (1) shows another trip in July 1849 for the Lady Harvey, (2) indicates that the ships Aerial and Leverett are sailed out of Kilrush, and (3) lists the familiar Jane Black sailing with 134 passengers out of Limerick in April, 1849.

Interesting reference to a woman known as Lady Harvey in the O'Carroll family, a line which exists in Clare.

Here is attempted follow-up on a passenger from the May 1849 Lady Harvey arrival, because the personal name Terrence is quite unique in Clare. This can serve as a primer on how U.S. censustakers record
a family, because we see in each census listing inconsistencies which become less important when all census listings are viewed as a whole. Note also the opportunity for immigrants to completely change their trades.

I am particularly pleased to find this immigrant in Sandusky, Ohio (note that there is also a Sandusky County adjacent to Erie Co.) because I am tracking on a volunteer basis McMahons needing to document their Clare place of origin. In their oral story they were in "Sandusky" in Ohio during this very same time period, in view of their documented voyage arriving NYC in June, 1849. That McMahon family had a daughter Catherine (age about 16) on that voyage (accompanied by her future Carberry mother-in-law) for whom an 1850 Buffalo NY marriage record fits with the timing of the first Carberry child's birth in Wisconsin later that year. There certainly were McMahons in NY's Erie and adjacent Genesee Counties in 1850. Sandusky OH records show a (possible sister or cousin) Bridget Carberry dying in 1849 during the large cholera outbreak there. All these pieces of the puzzle are fitting together, but of course lots more are
needed.

Hello,

I came across your post doing google searches for any relevant info regarding my ancestors Hugh and Bridget McGowan, who are first on record in the USA on the 1870 Marlboro Township,Monmouth County New Jersey Census. The Folks listed below from your post could most definately be my ancestors. I have scoured the net looking for any records of the Lady Harvey, and the only thing I can find is this:

http://www.immigrantships.net/v3/1800v3 ... 20429.html

Which lists this Lady Harvey Voyage as being in 1842 with only 4 passengers.

Your 3rd post in this string have these folks-which most definately are a match
Marlboro, Monmouth, New Jersey
Hugh McGOWEN 65 IRE Farm Laborer
Bridget Wife 50 IRE
Thomas Son 23 NJ
Hugh Son 27 NJ Farm Laborer


Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as this is the first lead I have had in quite some time trying to find the launch point of my McGowan Lineage.

Sean,

I hope that you can now focus your efforts on other resources, such as church and military records, so that you learn
more about your Hugh McGowan's history in the U.S. between his arrival in 1852/53 and the 1860 census (which clearly
eliminates your family as having arrived on the Lady Harvey). Sorry that my posting could not have been helpful for your
research.
