Both families have produced many prominent and professional men, soldiers and public officials, and well-to-do farmers.
When Richard came to America he landed in Montreal, Canada, with his father's secretary who accompanied him as a sort of monitor until the young man become settled, but the secretary took a liking for the new country and instead of returning to Ireland as instructed, stole the Captain's watch and with all of Richard's money, decamped for parts unknown, Later the secretary was located in Philadelphia, doing very well for a man of his circumstances. At the present time there is an old prominent and wealthy family in Philadelphia whose founder in this country is this same secretary.
