Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in USA

John White may have died after 4 June 1880 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA.  He immigrated with his wife "Kate" and children to the USA in 1870.  He was an expressman in Chicago with his own horse and wagon.  He and Kate died early leaving orphans.

The children (4 boys and two girls) were placed in St. Joseph Orphanage in Chicago. When that got too crowded the female residents were moved to another orphanage.  I have found all but one of the girls.

    Irish press warns against Jamaican Indentured Servitude

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
