The story of the Wilmot family begins in 1794, Cloyne, County Cork, Ireland, and follows a path of immigration in the early 19th century to Atlantic Canada and on to New York in the mid-19th century. The hardships, sickness, and poverty of early immigrants in Manhattan, New York, takes its toll on the Wilmot family with death and the subsequent family breakup.
