About 1801, John Jackson sold to the United States, through Francis Childs, a middleman, forty acres of the Wallabout for $40,000. About this time large numbers of Irish refugees arrived and located in New York and Brooklyn. They bought some land of Jackson at, or near, the Wallabout, the settlement being named “Vinegar Hill.” During the summer of 1805, a Mr. Aycrigg, shocked at the exposed remains of the prison-ship victims, made a contract with an Irishman residing at Wallabout, to “collect all the human bones as far as may be without digging,” and deliver the same to him. This was done, and these bones were a portion of those interred in the vault patriotically erected by Tammany. Among the patriots imprisoned aboard the _Jersey_ were a great many Irish. In 1888, the Society of Old Brooklynites published a pamphlet dealing with the _Jersey_, and giving the names of several thousand persons who had been confined therein, many of whom perished. A copy of this pamphlet is in the possession of the New York Historical Society. From that authoritative source we have compiled the following list of patriots, bearing Irish names, who were confined on the _Jersey_: Barry, Samuel Black, James Black, John Black, Philip Black, Timothy Blake, James Boyle, John Brady, John Broderick, William Brown, Michael Brown, Patrick Bryan, Edward Bryan, John Bryan, Mathew Bryan, William Buckley, Cornelius Buckley, Daniel Buckley, Francis Buckley, John Burk, Thomas Burke, James Burke, William Burn, William Burns, Edward Burns, John Butler, Daniel Butler, Francis Butler, James Butler, John Byrnes, Hugh Cain, David Cain, Thomas Callaghan, Daniel Campbell, Philip Cannady, James Cannady, William Carney, Anthony Carney, Hugh Carr, William Carolin, Joseph Carrall, Robert Carroll, James Carroll, John Carroll, Michael Casey, Edward Casey, Richard Casey, William Christie, James Cochran, James Cogan, Thomas Coleman, David Collins, James Collins, John Collins, Joseph Collohan, Daniel Connell, John Connelly, John Conner, George Conner, James Conner, John Conner, Robert Conner, William Connolly, Patrick Connolly, Samuel Connor, John Conway, John Conway, Thomas Corrigan, Bernard Corrigan, John Cox, Joseph Cox, William Crane, Philip Cullen, William Cunningham, Bartholomew Cunningham, Cornelius Cunningham, James Cunningham, Joseph Cunningham, William Curry, Anthony Curry, William Dailey, Patrick Daily, James Daily, William Darcey, W.
