IRELAND CLAIMS SAMPSON.
A Correspondent Who says the IA.
Airal Was Born In County
Limerick.

Ny attention having been drawn Ia
. few different accounts In English
and Irish papers with regard to the
birthplace of the above-named distin-
guished admiral, who Is now playing
such a conspicuous part in the Span
ish-American war, some claiming him
as Scotch. others as an Englishman,
etc., It will no doubt interest your
readers to learn that the gallant Irish
man first saw the light almost under
theshadow of Moore abbey (now in
ruins), just outside of the village Of
Galbally, County Limerick. and close
to the confines of the Glen Of Aherlow,
which latter glen IL celebrated from
not alone historic point Of view, but
also on account of its magnificent
scenery. and the fact that the glen
has given birth to more distinguished
athletes than any other part Of Ire
land. In fact, almost every second
young man you meet in Aherlow 10,
% a matter of course, an athlete.
Admiral Simpsons father was q
blacksmith at the place above men,
toned. and at the present day traces
of the forge are to be seen where
his brawny arm welded the hammer.
He emigrated to the land of the
stars and stripes to better his fortune,
while his son, the admiral, was q mere
child. The first Of the Simpsons who
came to this country was colonel in
Cromwell's army, which colonel got
married to q daughter Of Sir John
Cantwell, near the above-mentioned
abbey, and after settling down in Ire
land became more Irish than the
irish themselves" The above Col.
Sampson was. therefore, an ancestor
ct the admiral. and Of the admiral's
numerous cousins, who are now living
In and around the neighborhood,
among whom might mention Mr..
Simon Sampson. of Carricka roche, and
Michael Sampson, of Mitchelstown-
down, near Knocklong, both the lat
ter persons being respectable and
well-to-do farmers. Hoping the above
Information may prove interesting
and set the matter at rest (which In
