Scope and Contents

His notes furnish little about Jersey City. Father William Burns appears as pastor in the Catholic Almanacs from 1835 to 1837 and died in October 1837. Father T.C. Levins calls him a Scotchman and mentions his preaching in the N.Y. Cathedral in June, 1834. Father Hugh Mohan was pastor of St. Peter's from 1839 to 1842. Father Walter Quarter, 1834-44, was assisted in 1845 by Father John Kenney. Father John Kelly was attending to an English neighborhood and Hoboken in 1846. In April 1834, R. Gilchrist, Cashier of the Morris Canal and Banking Company, lost some bank notes, etc. which were found and restored to him through Father John Power. The loss occurred in Jersey City, and this raises suspicion that Power attended Jersey City early in 1834. :: II-2-o Copy 2pp. 12mo.
