Most Americans assume the mass migration of the Irish peoples to our shores was a direct result of the infamous Potato Famine which began in 1845. This is, however, a misconception. The Blight of 1845 was merely the straw that broke the camels back. Ireland, like most of feudal Europe, consisted of many peasants under the rule of a minority of affluent landowners. However, when Oliver Cromwell invaded Ireland, and nearly one-third of the population of Ireland was decimated between 1649 and 1652, all this changed. The Irish landowners who had not been disenfranchised during the reign of Elizabeth I nearly one hundred years earlier were either forced to renounce their Roman Catholic faith or see their lands confiscated and then redistributed to the English.

 On 25 January 1804, James Peter Allaire wed his second cousin Frances Duncan, the same year he opened a small brass foundry at 466 Cherry Street in Manhattan. The following year, James and Frances would have their first child, Charles Browne Allaire, born on 20 January 1805. James and Frances would have nine children all together.
The Allaires would share many happy times together as well as sad ones. James' business dealings would keep them separated for long periods, four of their nine children would pass away while still infants, but James' business interests would grow, along with his reputation as a master at his trade, and the Allaires would prosper. Through all the joys and sadness they would remain truly devoted to each other.
Visitors may notice unusual customs taking place in our village this fateful day...more |
