Need to review the English Census for 1831, 1841...of Liverpool
and look for the Wholahan Family....
_______________
I do not know the date of Michael's Immigration to US
_______________
Book: "The Famine Immigrants" ( Volumes 1,2,3,4,5,6, & 7) @ the Rochester Public Library, Catalog # Gr-973-F198f, all records told of, Departure Date, City & Country, Ship Name, & Date of arrival in New York City: I looked for the name Wholahan in these books, finding the following:

Vol II, p-501,
Wholohen, Michael age 20 from, Cork Ireland, Dept. June 17,Ship: Argyle, arriv. date July 17,1846
Is the above person our Michael.....age & date of arrival are correct, but "Wholohen" spelling ?
But our Michael was living in Liverpool England, before he came to America.....I think that's right ?

other names in Ship Listings were:
Wholehan,......... Wholohan.............Wholohen...... &.................. Whoolehan
_______________________________
"Michael settled in Clinton NY in 1846"
Michael was 16 years old in 1846..........did he come with his family members ?
Did his family move from Ireland due to the "Potato Famine" ?
1865 Census said Mchael born in Ireland ?
______________________
If Michael came to US @ age 16....he was trained here as a Stonemason in Clark's Mills
__________________________________________________________

1850....Clark’s Mills, in Kirkland Township, in Oneida County of New York State, U. S. Census....
I did not find the Wholahan Family , Michael would have been 20 years old.
Michael & Ann were married in Clark’s Mills in 1852......Rechecked several times
1850 Census, and found no listing for 'Wholahan".
___________________________________________________________
Is there a 1855 NY State Census ?
_______________________________________________________
In the 1860, NY Census, Oneida County, Town of Kirkland, Post Office, Clinton,
Roll 564, # M-432........filed @ The Rochester Public Library...the following:

Michael Wholahan............28...Mason...b England
Ann Wholahan..................29...............b England
Thomas Wholahan..............6...............b New York State
John Wholahan..................5...............b New York State
Sarah Ann Wholahan........3...............b New York State
Mary Ann........................1...............b New York State
____________________________________________________________
This 1860 Census is the first News that Michael was a Mason & not a Weaver or Mill Worker,
which I expected if he was associated with the Clark Mills Cotton Mill.....but this was typical of the residents of Clark's Mills....the Father of the family probably had an occupation that was not weaving, the Wife was always 'Keeping House" and the children were the Mill Laborers.
________________________
The Story of Clark's Mills in the newspaper article I copied @ Utica Library...Told how the Clark Brothers ..." constructed a quarter-mile long dyke for water power" to support their new mill.......is this the project Michael was hired for...to work as a Stonemason on the Mill Race ?
The Quarter Mile Dyke would be 1320 feet long......see map & race to Mill for this length on the 1874 map, measuring from the old Saw Mill to new Cotton Mill. The Mill Race went under Brown Street to connect back to the Oriskany Creek. Lee Buck showed me the connection.
______________________________________________________________
Living near by the Wholahan's (in 1860).. ( 2 houses away-by Census) in the Town of Clark Mills was The Timothy Batson Family, he was a 56 year old Shoe Maker, born in Ireland, with wife Ellen 32, Daughter Catherine 16, a Factory Spinner, Daughter Mary, 14, a Factory Sopinner,+ Helen 12, Elizabeth 10, Margaret 9, Bridget 8, Ann 7, Martha 5, + John P. 4....( Mary Batson, in 1867 @ age 21, was a Sponsor for William Wholahan @ his Baptism in St. Mary's Church in Clinton NY)
_________________________
The 1870 Kirkland Census, Timothy Baston 65, Ellen 50, Mary 23, Ellen 22, Margaret 17, Bridget 18 Alice 16, & John 15, last 4 were all working in Cotton Mill.
______________________
1865 ......New York State Census from Mormon MicroFilm #1435151
1865...., in Kirkland Township, in Oneida County of New York State Census....
Page #6...Starting on line #37, Clark’s Mills is not mentioned as Town, only Kirkland.

Michael Wholahan...35... Stone Mason...b Ireland ?...Stone Mason
Ann Wholahan.........32... Housewife......b Ireland ?
Thomas Wholahan...11...Child of Michael & Ann......b Oneida Co. NYS
Sarah Wholahan.......9...Child of Michael & Ann.......b Oneida Co. NYS
John Wholahan.........7...Child of Michael & Ann.......b Oneida Co. NYS
Mary A. Wholahan....5...Child of Michael & Ann.......b Oneida Co. NYS

The home of both Michael & Ann is listed as Ireland, where in the US Census, England is listed?
Sarah is listed as 2 years older than John .....is this correct?
John should have been listed as 10 years old?
Michael is listed as being in the Army....but details of his service record could not be found in the 1865 Census where other men were listed on a special war record inventory page.
______________________________________________________
Note: Civil War in prision , Libby Prision, Virginia......?
I don't know the source of that information...someone....? told me my Great Grand father was a Civil War Veteran and was a prisoner in Libby Prison..?

Libby Prison came into existence in the summer of 1862, and was notorious as a very cruel prison.
Libby Prison was a former tobacco warehouse where more than 1,000 Union Officers were confined.
In 1862 a system of parole & exchange was informally adopted by the Union & Confederate goverments. A "paroled" prisoner pledged not to participate in the war or assist his allies. In the fall of 1863, the US goverment suspended exchanges.
Libby Prison was located in Richmond, Virginia...one of 7 Confederate Prision Camps..
(Note: Michael was captured May 1, 1863 & was Parolled in May of 1863)

"Perhaps nothing more quickly dispels the romantic gloss sometimes applied to the Civil War than the story of the prisoner-of-war camps. ....men died like flies from untreated wounds, from starvation and from any number of diseases. The statistics are appalling: Of the 400,000 imprisoned, nearly 50,000 died and uncounted thousands suffered crippling aliments from which they never fully recovered.".

Information From Encyclopedia Britanica; / Paul
"Battle of Chancellorsville: (May 1-5 1863), in the Civil War, bloody assult by the Union Army in Virginia that failed to encircle and destroy the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Following the "horror of Fredericksburg" (Dec. 13, 1862), the Confederate Army of General Robert E. Lee and the Union force under General Joseph Hooker had spent the winter facing each other across the Rappahannock River, Virginia. On April 27, Hooker dispatched his cavalry behind Lee's Army, intending to cut off a retreat. Two days later he sent a small divisionary force across the Rappahnnock below Fredericksburg and crossed upriver with the main body of his army. By May 1 his superior forces were massed near Chancellorsville, a crossroads in a densly forested lowland called the Wilderness. Deprived of his cavalry, however, Hooker was blind to Lee's movements, and on May 2, when Lee ordered General T. J. "Stonewall" Jackson's "foot cavalry" to swing around and attack the Union right, Hooker's suprised flank was routed. The Union general withdrew, and Lee's pressure over the next three days forced a Union retreat north of the river. The South's greatest casualty was the loss of Jackson who died May 10 of battle wounds. Of 130,000 Union soldiers engaged at Chancellorsville, more than 17,000 were lost; of 60,000 Confederates, more than 12,000 were lost."

Note: Michael must have been part of "a small divisionary force" and was captured here on May 1, 1863......See Map showing the Battle as of May 1st...........
________________________
Caption of Civil War Photo reads:......"Outdood life & constant "roughing-it" affects men variously. There was many a young clerk from the city, slender of limb, lacking in muscle, a man only in embryo, who finished his three year term of service with a constitution of iron and sinews of whip-cords. Strange to say, it was the regiments from up-country & the back woods, lumberman and farmers, who after a short time in camp began to show most the effect of hardship and sickness. They had been used to regular hours, meals at certain times, and always the same kind of food - their habits had been formed, their sleep had not been interfered with; their stomachs, by which they could tell the time of day, rebelled at being obliged to go empty, their systems had to learn new tricks. But the city recruit, if posessed of no physical aliment or chronic trouble, seemed to thrive and expand in the open air - he was a healthy exotic that, when transplanted, adapted itself to the new soil with surprising vigor - being cheated of sleep, and forced to put up with the irregularities of camp life was not such a shock for him as for the "to bed with the chickens & up with the lark" countryman. This is no assuming the facts - it is the result of experience and record."
So....was this Michale's problem....surely being a stone mason he had a very strong body before the war.....and was capable of great strength.....but was a broken man on his return.

Dodd 1875 Note:
On the 1875 Census @ houses away was a Dodd Family in New Hartford NY:
Thomas Dodd 50, Bridget Dodd 50....both born in Ireland, Children Anna 22, John 21, Mary 19, Bessy 16, Magge 15, Thomas 13, & Nelly Dodd 10 all born in Oneida County NY

Thomas is the only Wholahan I found in Clark’s Mills, but his brothers Willie 13 & Joseph 11
are living near by in Kirkland Township, in the home of their aunt, Mary Tarfa age 59.
Is Mary a sister of Michael’s or Ann’s ? Is the reason the Wholahan’s came to live in
Clark’s Mills because they had relatives living here on nearby. ? I thought Michael came here hereto work in the Cotton Mills..but then I found out he was a Mason.
_______________________
I looked in the wrong place early this year 1997
The Town of Clarks Miills is located about 10 miles outside Saratoga Springs near the intersection of the Hudson River & the Batten Kill River in the State of New York, about 15 miles west of the Vermont border. Clarks Miills is an intersection of road & river with a Mill on the Battenkill River....a community of 15 homes max. The closest Town would be Schuylerville New York......which has a Library. Greenwich has no record in the Town Library of the Wholahan Family. was there June 1997, to review their records, & found nothing.

Then I found Clark Mills......near Utica in the fall of 1997
Clark Mills (Today)...formerly known as Clark's Mills in the 1800's. is a Hamlet South / West of Utica, New York, in Oneida County. This has been a Mill Town since 1840"s. Mill Name " Heinger" ?.......Jonas Clark son of founder may be in article on Thomas Wholahan as J. P. Clark

Clark's Mills Population 1874 = 420
318 Native, 102 Foreign, 413 white, 37 colored.
from Atlas, Book 25, page 48
______________________________________________________
So...The Wholahan Story is as follows ?..... How & when did Michael & Ann arrive in America ? Michael is said to have come to Clinton NY in 1846. Michael & Ann are married in in Clark’s Mills in 1852, Michael is a mason, finding work in Clark’s Mills NY in 1850 ?. Thomas, John, Mary, William & Joseph are born here......Ann died here in 1879. Sarah was born in Manchester, NY ? The Town of Kirkland was named "Manchester" renamed "Kirkland" in 1829 so I assume Sarah was born in Clark's Mills. Michael served 3 years as a Private in Civil War & returns home very ill..Michael married a Mary McCue in 1871 and moves to New Hartford NY, taking Thomas, John, Sarah, Mary, William & Joseph with him..Sarah meets Michael Gooney in New Hartford NY.
Michael died in New Hartford, New York in 1876 & burried in St. Mary's Catholic Church Cemetery in Clinton NY, 3 miles from Clark's Mills. In 1879 Sarah is married @ St. Francis Church in Utica NY & then moves to Rochester NY taking with her Mary but William & Joseph go to nearby Kirkland Township to live with their Aunt, Mary Tarfa. Thomas remains in Clark's Mills till 1881 when he leaves town & the Mill. ...John moves to Utica then to West Winfield NY 30 miles from Clarks Mills, working as a barber.......................is this story true ?
________________________________________________________________________
I found this history of the Kearney Family livig in Clark’s Mills in the 1880 Census. Thomas 40, Engineer, wife Catherine 38, children Agnes 19, William 17, John 16, Frances 13, Daniel 10 & James 8, all worked in the Clark’s Mills Cotton Mill, sons Simon 5, & Anthony 2 were @ home.
An interesting insight into working ages of Mill Town Children when GrandPa was growing up.
__________________________________________________________________________
Where can I find the following information......?
Directory for Clark’s Mills.........find one...where?...Does not Exist.
School,........ in Clark’s Mills...or Kirkland ? School House shown on 1874 C.M. Map
________________________________
Newspaper Information:
Was there a Newapaper for Clark’s Mills ......No but the "The Clinton Courier" published in Clinton NY carried notes on happenings in Clinton. The Clinton Signal published @ Clinton, Oneida County, New York 1846 to 1850, Oneida Chief 1850-1857, Clinton Courier 1857 to present.
_____________________________________________________________________
I found a Dodd Street in Utica, near where I think St. Francis DeSales Church is located ?
St. Francis is located near, one block away, from the Utica Library on Genesee Street.
__________________________________________________________________
I could not find @ The Clinton Library on July 2, 1998, a record on Micro-Film of the April 1886 Clinton Courier.....which would contain a record of Michael's Obiturary......they had only 3 papers printed in that year.

In Utica @ the Utica Public Library I reviewed 2 Utica Newspapers for Michale's obiturary and I found nothing.....I checked fron May 3 to May 15 & located nothing.

Note: The original St. Mary's Church building for Cinton NY was moved to Clark's Mills in 1908 and has the name " Catholic Church of The Annunciation".....this story from lady in parish house July 2, 1998.......but this does not agree with history notes of Philip E. Munson.

"On a trip to Clarks Mills , Thursday, August 20th, 1998, I met Lee Buck. (of 4963 West Moreland Road, Whitesboro 13492.)...who was watering the flowers in pots along Main Street (Brown Street) in Clarks Mills. I stopped to inquire about the Mills in the Town. Lee (a man of about 60 years), took me home to his house & showed me his picture collection on Clark's Mills & the Town Train Stations. He also drove me to the town graveyard & showed me the grave sites of the Clarks and his own. Lee played saxophone in High School (still had his uniform) and the town band and his tombstone had an engraving of a saxophone with the inscription above his name.."He blew it"
Lee had a good sense of humor."

Which Cotton Mill did Michael & family work at ?
From the 1874 Map of New Hartford...it looks like the New Hartford Cotton Co. was the one.
