Ramsay’s History was written by the son of an Irish Protestant. An
edition was published in 1805 by Mathew Carey, a native-born Irish
Catholic. A list of subscribers to the work was printed with it and
here also is another instance of the presence of the Gael. The name of
Thomas Addis Emmet appropriately heads the list, and the names
following are Irish enough to please the most blue-blooded Milesian:
James Buckley, Matthew Carroll, Philip Whelpley, Katherine Mulligan,
James Doyle, J. W. McFadden, Charles O’Neal, John D. Toy, Henry C.
Neal, Daniel Fagan, Andrew Fleming, William Hickey, John McLeod,
Bernard O’Neal, John H. Riley, William Carroll, Patrick Gill, John
McDermott, John McBride, M. Sullivan, Francis D. Riordan, Peter Kerr,
John Carney, John Carey, John Cowan, Anthony C. Curley, Hamson Kelly,
James McElhinney, Hugh McGuire, John McDonald, A. D. Murphy, Harvey
Bryan, C. P. Butler, Lydia Bryan, Bartholomew Carroll, Richard
Cunningham, Catherine Fitzsimmons, Christopher Fitzsimmons, Daniel
Flood, Richard Fair, Andrew Flynn, Peter Murphy, Richard McCormack,
Samuel Nolan, Cornelius Driscoll, Dennis O’Driscoll, Henry O’Hara,
Thomas H. Egan, Peter McGuire, John Murphy, Joseph Kelly, Patrick
Noble, John B. O’Neal, Timothy Dargan, Patrick H. Carns, Patrick
Gatlin, Robert Malone, J. S. Bryan, and Daniel Murphy.
Footnote 24:
Recently deceased. Mr. Walsh was a founder of our society and was
vice-president for Georgia. He had been a United States senator from
that state, and was editor and publisher of the _Augusta_ (Ga.)
_Chronicle_, one of the leading dailies of the South. The article here
given is a condensation of an address delivered by him a few years ago
at Nashville, on “Irish-American Day” at the Tennessee Exposition.
Footnote 25:
Shattuck’s History of Concord, p. 215. But little is known of
Cargill’s life. When Shattuck wrote (1852) he said, “What little is
known of his life is better stated in his epitaph than from any
information I possess.”
