My parents, John and Mary Sheridan, came to America in 1830, having beeninduced by the representations of my father's uncle, Thomas Gainor, thenliving in Albany, N. Y., to try their fortunes in the New World: They wereborn and reared in the County Cavan, Ireland, where from early manhood myfather had tilled a leasehold on the estate of Cherrymoult; and the sale ofthis leasehold provided him with means to seek a new home across the sea. Myparents were blood relations—cousins in the second degree—my mother, whosemaiden name was Minor, having descended from a collateral branch of myfather's family. Before leaving Ireland they had two children, and on the 6thof March, 1831, the year after their arrival in this country, I was born, inAlbany, N. Y., the third child in a family which eventually increased tosix—four boys and two girls.
