The project, organized to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Cleveland, Ohio's Jewish community, resulted in the traveling exhibit "Founders: Cleveland's Jewish Community Before the Civil War," which opened at the Western Reserve Historical Society Museum in 1990. The collection consists of computer printout data sheets of 850 (primarily German) Jews known to have emigrated from Europe to Cleveland, Ohio between the 1830s and 1861. Each data sheet includes an individual's earliest known name and variant spellings. Categories of additional potential information include sex, country, region, and village of origin; arrival date and arrival age in America and in Cleveland; birth date, death date, and cemetery name; marital status, name of spouse(s), marriage date(s), and number of children; home and business address(es)... http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4516.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4803.xml David Morrow Sr. was the son of John Morrow and brother of John Morrow Jr. and William Morrow. The family originated in Knock, parish of Castlenagh, County Down, Ireland. William Morrow emigrated to Virginia, and with family friend Alexander J. Stewart, who had settled in New York City, corresponded with the remaining Morrow family members in Ireland. The David Morrow Sr. family, including David Sr., his wife Abigail, and their children, David Jr., William, and Abigail, emigrated from Belfast, Ireland in 1832, and were settled in Euclid, Ohio, by 1833, where they farmed. David Morrow Jr. and his brother William, continued to farm after the death of their father in 1836, eventually acquiring their own land in Glenville, near Cleveland, Ohio.

The State of Ohio authorized county governments to build and administer poorhouses and infirmaries to provide long-term care for the poor and homeless in 1816. Cuyahoga County was the only county that did not establish a poorhouse, so Cleveland built a combined poorhouse/infirmary in 1827 behind Erie Street Cemetery that accepted referrals from throughout the county. As the population of Cleveland expanded rapidly, its City Council voted in 1849 for a tax levy to pay for a separate workhouse and infirmary. In 1855 the new City Infirmary was built on the site of the current Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital. A few years later, Cleveland was experiencing the consequences of a national economic panic which included an influx of "inmates" to the City Infirmary that included newborn babies, the elderly, and the infirm. Immediately after the American Civil War, Ohio changed its i... http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5134.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4952.xml The Hayes family was originally from Hospital, County Limerick, Ireland.
