XIV. . WILLIAM FORDNEY.
Mr. WILLIAM FORDNEY, of the Fifth Ward, although not strictly coming under the head of " Three Score and Ten," as to age, yet his long residence in Mount Vernon justly entitles him to a place with those more venerable in age. For forty-two years this city has been his abiding place, forty-one of those forty-two years have been spent in his present home, on upper Mulberry street. For the first years of his residence here, it was not unus- ual for him to stand in the back door of his house of a morning and shoot enough rabbits for breakfast and dinner, for between Mulberry street and the Sandusky road was a dense forest of trees and hazel bushes, the latter so closely packed as to prevent the passage of any thing larger than the smaller wild animals then so numerous. If appetite demanded a change of flesh for food, Mr. Fordney had only to change position and go east, for between Mulberry and Main street, was another forest, abounding with squirrels, many of whom fell victims to his gun. Mount Vernon in 1834, although at that date quite a thriving town, and Mount Vernon in 1876, so far as permanent improvements are concerned, none but the earlier settlers have a correct idea of the vast contrast between the two periods named.
Mr. Fordney was born in the town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on the 21st day of January, 1812. In 1833 he married Miss Ann Barber Nagle, also of Lancaster, Penn. On the 28th day of November, 1834, he and his wife cast their lot with the people of this city. Mrs. Fordney died in this city on the 5th day of June, 1859. To them were born eight children, five of whom are'still living.

XVIII. JANE HENEGAN.
Mrs. JANE HENEGAN, nee Miss Jane Shaw, of the Third Ward, was born on the 10th day of March, 1804, in Sixside, near Carron Hill, Parish of Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland. On the - day of , 18-, she married Mr. William Henegan, of the Parish of Killmackshalgan, coun- ty of Sligo, Ireland. Mr. H. was born on the 4th day of Feb- ruary, 1803, and died at Keokuk, Iowa, on the 17th day of Au- gust, 1870. Mr. and Mrs. H., with their family, came to Mount Vernon in 1853.
The subject of this brief sketch, with her husband and family. left Glasgow, Scotland, September 16, 1849-Liverpool, England, September 18, and arrived at New Orleans, U. S. A., on the 20th day of December following, thus the voyage, between the port of departure, and the port of dis-embarkation, appears to have been thirteen weeks and four days in duration. To vary the interest, and to add to the perils of those " who go down to the sea in ships," we find that the vessel, upon whose deck the lives and fortunes of our hardy emigrants were placed, was castaway in a storm, and thrown upon the shores of an island now called Concon, situated near the barren coast of Yucatan, South America. The passengers and crew were detained twen- ty-eight days upon that desert island.
During their forced residence upon the island, the passengers and crew, imitating the people of the country in which most of them were seeking a new home, organized a government and made laws for their own protection, and unanimously elected Mr. William Henegan the first Governor of the State of Concon, South America. The necessity of this organization was soon apparent.
