This site is for those interested in the fates of passengers from Ireland who boarded the ships in Derry in the Summer of 1832 that were bound for Philadelphia - the John Stamp, the Asia, the Prudence and the Ontario. Some fifty-seven of them are said to have been murdered at Duffy's Cut in West Chester PA while building a railway. The task of this blogsite is to find out their identities and to restore their memories to their families back in Ireland. 

Quite apart from exploring the truth of that episode - was it cholera, was it cold-blooded murder?- the stories of the other emigrants, though less dramatic, may be no less poignant. Wait and see.
