Excerpt from History of the Moorhead Family: From the Latter Part of the Sixteenth Century to the Present Time After the death of the mother and father, the son, Alexander, went across to Ireland, where he was married to a young Irish girl, named Jennie Clyde. To them was born a son, whom they also named Alexander. They had determined to come to Ameri ca, but, when the son was about fifteen years of age, the father died. The widow, having been interested in the stories that her husband had given to her in his lifetime of the advantages that they would have if they would emigrate to America, believed it to be her duty to carry out the wish of her deceased husband. With this thought, she sold her property, and, when her son was seventeen years old, they sailed for this country in the year 17 64. The voyage was so long and dangerous that the mother sometimes thought that indications of Providence said to her that it was not God's will that the Moorhead family should land in America, and when she would recall that her hus band, as well as his parents, had desired to come to this land and had been prevented by death she prayed earnestly to God for their safe journey. During the storms she would feel that God was angry with her for leaving the land of her birth and would reproach her self, saying, If it is God's will that my only son is to be taken from me, I wish I had remained at home and buried him under Ireland's green soil. But she said God revealed himself to her one night when they were tempest-tossed by whispering to her so tenderly, 'peace; be still. Know that I am God. I hold the waves of the sea in the hollow of my hand. She said, From that hour, I had no fear. In fact, I was happy during the remainder of our voyage. When incompany with my son, we would talk and plan about what we would do when we came to land. After twenty-six weeks of sailing, they landed at Philadel phia. Having rested here for some days they went to Waynesboro, Franklin county. The mother and son lived together there. On the same vessel on which they sailed was a family named Morrow and they had a daughter whose name was Mary. This family also located in Frank lin county. Then, as now, Cupid sometimes placed his dart in the young and tender heart and the friend ship which was formed between the young people during their voyage developed into a pure and con stant love, and they were married in 1769. To them were born, in Franklin county, three children - James Margaret and' Esther. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
