1. The Town of Anglim, Minnesota In northern Minnesota there is a village called Anglim near Crookston in Polk County. This village was named in honor of William Anglim (1843-1910), a Canadian born pioneer store owner who became Mayor of Crookston and later served on the Crookston Board of Education. Mayor Anglim was a leading merchant in Crookston, being an owner of the store, LaFontaine and Anglim. The store ran advertisements such as, “our cash prices are matchless.” The store was sold circa 1907. The building that housed the store still exists in Crookston. William Anglim also worked as a Receiver in the US Land Office (circa 1895) in Crookston, MN. His compensation as a receiver was $3000 annually, which was supplemented by fees (source: Official Register, 1895). He was not reappointed when his term expired in 1897, as the Republican administration of William McKinley had assumed power. William Anglim owned a substantial amount of property in the area. The 1896 Plat Map Listing of who lived in Crookston 1896, shows: Anglim, Wm. 34 Crookston 150/46; Anglim, Wm. 24 Fairfax 149/46; Anglim, Wm. 12 Parnell 151/46 Anglim, Wm. 27 Woodside 148/43. He died in St. Paul, Minnesota in his son's house around 1945. For more information on William Anglim’s family, see the Minnesota Polk County Anglim lineages in this work found in Section VII(D): Anglim Lineages in the United States. Appendices. 1.

In the early decades of the 19th century (ca. 1802-1828), the “well-known Brig Anglim” sailed to North America. It sailed from England to Quebec, and could carry 214 tons .589 The Anglim, captained by R. Glaister, arrived in Liverpool in November 1822, from Mirimchl, with 363 pc. Pine timber, 49 pieces birch. It arrived at Queens dock.590 In November 5 and 6, 1824, the ship was severely damaged in a winter storm, and lost its anchors, and bowsprit, and had to return to Quebec harbor.591 Despite the damage, the brig continued to sail.592 Apparently, there was another vessel named “Anglim”. This was a steamship that sailed in the Great Lakes, ca. 1873. Part C: Immigration and Passenger Records
About one in three immigrants between 1820 and 1840 were born in Ireland. During the 1840s, the Irish accounted for 45 percent of all new arrivals. Despite an increase in actual numbers the irish share of the total immigration declined after 1850. The peak year for Irish immigration was 1890, when 1.8 million Irish-born persons immigrated to the United States. 4.8 million immigrants from Ireland were lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence since fiscal year 1820, the earliest year for which official immigration records exist. By fiscal year 1870, about half of these immigrants were admitted for lawful permanent residence. John Anglim, whose records appear below, seems to be the first Anglim to immigrate to the United States. On March 9, 1838, John Anglim took “the declaration of intention or oath of allegiance” before the Court of Quarter-sessions in Philadelphia, PA.593 Apparently a laborer, who lived in a “lone cottage in a lone cottage running about two miles from the permanent bridge.” His wife died in either December 1843 or January 1844 from a “lingering sickness.” This John Anglim was imprisoned in Moyamensung jail for a heinous crime in January 1844. “Outrage”, Baltimore Sun, Feb. 1, 1844, at 4. Moyamensung is in South Philadelphia. Beginning in the late 1840s, the number of Anglim immigrants to the United States increased. The pattern of 19th century Anglim immigration seems to follow the general pattern of Irish immigration in the United States.

To understand their migration, one should keep in mind the larger picture of Irish immigration to the United States. At the beginning of the 19th century, agriculture was dominant role in the Irish economy. English landowners owned much of Ireland’s farm land. This land was rented out to small famers, who because of a lack of capital, farmed with outdated implements and methods. Farm laborers in Ireland earned an average wage of eight pence a day, which was only a fifth of what could be earned in the United States. Therefore many landless peasants dreamed of emigrating to North America. In October 1845, a devastating potato blight struck Ireland, and destroyed nearly 75 % of the country’s crop. At the time, over four million Irish people relied on potatoes as their chief food. The blight returned in 1846. Over the following year, an estimated 350,000 people died of starvation and an outbreak of typhus that further ravaged a weakened population. Despite good potato crops over the next four years, people continued to die. In 1851, the Census Commissioners estimated that nearly a million people had died during the Irish Famine. The Irish people blamed the British government and absentee landlords for the disaster. The Irish famine stimulated a desire to emigrate. From 1844 to 1854 nearly two million people, about a quarter of the Irish population had emigrated to the United States. A few, but not many, Anglims immigrated during this time. The bulk of Anglim migration would follow the famine era. In 1850, Irish born Americans mainly lived in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, and New Jersey. Most of these states would be home for a good proportion of Anglims in the 19th and early 20th century. The vast majority of Irish immigrants were impoverished, and settled close to the port where they had disembarked. In the Reconstruction era, some cities in the United States such as New York, Chicago, and Boston, over a quarter of the population had been born in Ireland. In 1890, large numbers of Irish born immigrants lived in the states of New York (483,000), Massachusetts (260,000), Illinois (124,000), and Minnesota (28,000). There were significant communities of Irish born Americans in New York City (190,000), Chicago (70,000), and Baltimore (13,000). As indicated in the charts at the end of this section, the Anglims have historically been well represented in states such as New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, and cities such as New York City and Chicago. From 1820 to 1920, over 4.4 million people emigrated from Ireland to the United States, a number eclipsed only by the number of immigrants from Germany and Italy. In 1840, Ireland was the most densely country in Europe. By the 20th century, it had become the least densely populated. From 1820 through 1978, over 4.7 million people emigrated to the United States from Ireland, which was nearly 9.7 percent of the total foreign immigration during that period. Traditional accounts of Irish immigration to the United States hold that by the latter decades of the 19th century did a combination of acute political skills, intense Roman Catholic faith and a strong sense of community enabled the Irish to move into the American social and economic mainstream. In looking at the story of Irish immigration to the United States, one should not assume that the experience of the northeastern urban Irish were replicated everywhere. As illustrated in this section, there significant regional differences in the American Irish immigration experience. Alabama. George T. Anglim passed away on February 28, 1948 in Randolph, AL. Alaska No Anglim lineages Arkansas Garland County Owen Anglim (b. 1899 in Detroit, Michigan) married Hester Ferrell in Hot Springs, Garland County, Arkansas on May 29, 1921. The bride’s family was from that area. Mississippi County [Possible errors in original documents] Lee Anglim – Born in ca.1863,in Tennessee. Both of his parents were born in Tennessee. In 1920, he lived as a boarder in Scott, Mississippi County, Arkansas. He was widowed. 594 California San Francisco and Napa Counties in Northern California are some of the oldest continuous places of Anglim settlement in the United States. At least since 1980, more Anglims have lived in California than in any other state in the United States. Most historians agree that the Irish experience in California as one of generally tranquil and successful adjustments to American life. In the second half of the 19th century, California was frequently identified as one of most favorable destinations for Irish immigrants to immigrate to. By virtue of their early presence in California, the Irish secured a position of legitimacy in a society where the nascent policitical, economic, and social structures were fluid and keenly contested. Even before the Mexican War, the Irish were present in significant numbers in the small California population. The discovery of gold in 1848 provided the impetus for a rapid expansion in the terrirtory’s population, and drew large numbers of gold seekers, including many Irish, to the American West coast. San Francisco/Oakland Anglims: The first Irish immigrants to arrive in the San Francisco area was during the late seventeenth century and early eighteenth century, when many left Ireland because of the Penal laws. Some early Irish arrivals were attracted to the Mexican West by their desire to own land. There was no resistance by the Mexican Government in California to these new immigrants. The Irish and Mexicans shared the same religion and the Irish soon learned to speak Spanish. Early Irish immigrants gained land grants from the Mexican Government, especially in Marin County, which was nicknamed Little Ireland. Among these early settlers were John Connors with Rancho Punta de Quentin, Timothy Murphy with Rancho Santa Margarita y Los Galinas San Pedro (Marinwood and San Rafael), John Reed with Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio (Corte Madera and Tiburon), John Berry with Rancho Punta de los Reyes, and John Murphy with Rancho Corte Madera de Novato. Nowhere in California were change and growth more marked in the period 1848-1880 than in San Francisco. With the Gold Rush, San Francisco’s Irish population grew to 4,200 in 1852. By 1870 the population of San Francisco was 100,000, one third of whom were Irish. One in every three Irish men at this time owned real estate. In 1859 the Irish were the only ethnic group to have a bank of its own. The Hibernian Savings and Loan Bank, set up by James Phelan, enabled the ambitious Irish to engage in commerce. By 1880 this number had reached more than 30,000, thirty-seven percent of San Francisco’s population. San Francisco had become the Irish heartland in the West. For the irish who settled in California after 1848, unlike most of their compatriots who remained in the eastern United States, the openness of their new society offered substantital opportunities for social and economic advancement. The 19th century Irish who reached San Francisco had previous urban experience, were upwardly mobile and enjoyed family stability and comprehensive support through their own elaborate networks of religious, economic, political, and social institutions. As a stable, organized, and large minority within a diverse, chaotic city, the Irish found what wanted in the United States –material success and person and group satisfaction. They were also a generation ahead of many of their fellow Irish in the eastern United States. With these came cultural pluralism, but not structural assimilation. By 1870, irish immigrants and their descendants were widely dispersed across California, although at mid-century their presence remained strongly centered in San Francisco and its five neighborhing counties – Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, and Solano. San Francisco itself was by far the most populous Irish county in both absolute and proportional terms: 48 percent of Irish California’s Irish lived there. One in every six of the city’s residents was Irish born. The Irish predominance in retail trade and high proportion of white collar Irish in 1880, was due to incentives and visible reward that were not highly visible elsewhere. Prominent Irish San Franciscan business men included Samuel Brannan, who printed San Francisco’s first newspaper in 1846. John Sullivan founded Hibernia Savings and Loan and the Hibernia Housing Society, which helped immigrants with loans to buy land and homes. Sullivan bought two lots near Dupont Square and donated them to the Catholic Church for the building of the Old St. Mary’s Cathedral. James Fair and James Flood, both sons of Dubliners, made their fortunes in the Comstock Silver Lode. James Phelan (whose son James would become Mayor of San Francisco and US Senator) established the First National Bank of San Francisco. John Daly had a large dairy and rock quarry south of San Francisco that he subdivided to build Daly City. He had left Ireland in the 1870s with his mother, who died while they were crossing Panama to reach San Francisco. John continued on alone, found work at the City’s dairies, and saved his money to buy the land that still bears his name. Many of the Irish who struck gold in the fields during the Gold rush reinvested their money into land, farming, dairying and stock raising. Often it was the Irish who were the pioneer farmers in clearing the land and planting the first crops in California. At this time the Irish lived in areas such as Southpark, Rincon Hill, Happy Valley (site of the Palace Hotel) and the Inner Mission where they engaged in small-scale farming. San Francisco’s Irish were very politically active, and their success in politics was immediate and spectacular. In 1867 Frank McCoppin from County Longford was elected Mayor of San Francisco, becoming the first Irish-born Mayor in the United States. He had been previously been elected supervisor within two years of his arrival, and before acquiring American citizenship.Another Irish man, David Broderick arrived in San Francisco after unsuccessful attempts to get into the political circle in New York. By 1849 he was elected as a State senator and in 1851 he became President of the Senate. Other early Irish settlers who became prominent politicians in the City and the State of California include: General Bennett Riley, military and civilian Governor of the Territory of California who was responsible for drafting the Constitution of the State of California (1849); John Geary, first Mayor of San Francisco (1850); and H. H. Haight, Governor of California (1878). The Irish formed cultural organizations like the Hibernia Association (1852), The Irish Festival (1863), and The Knights of the Red Branch (in the Mission). In 1964 they combined these organizations to form the United Irish Cultural Society. They also built and supported Catholic churches and schools all over the City. Today, although the Irish live throughout the City and its suburbs, there are still Irish football games and the newspaper the Irish Herald. The United Irish Cultural Center sponsors many social events, including Irish dancing and music.
