DH: William James (20, blacksmith)
DW: Elizabeth Mary (19, née Stoughton)William and I married a few months ago back home in Ireland. We wanted more than anything to settle down there and raise a family, but the famine was more than we could bear. We saved just enough to secure a place on a ship headed for America. Both of our fathers had gone there already to look for work, and we hadn't heard from them since, but it was our only option.Now we're living in New York City, and it's almost as bad as it was back home. William is a blacksmith by trade, and he's barely making enough for us to get by. The city is overcrowded, and everyday there's thousands more Irish getting off the boats. There's nothing for us here, so when we've saved enough, we're heading West. There's land out there for the taking, and we both think it's the perfect place to start anew.
