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. This leads to one orphaned Wilmot traveling to the Midwest on the legendary Orphan Train where he is placed in servitude until such age as he marries and begins a family in Missouri. We follow the family from Missouri to Nebraska where the trail ends for now. Thus, this is the story of the Wilmot family and one man’s search for who we are.
