Biography

Seventy-two years old, another Local Preacher, who sailed on the Ocean to Ohio in 1827. Held services in Manx in his own log house in Ohio. The language lived longer in Ohio than it would live on the Island, and the reason was structural: on the Island, the Revestment had removed the institutions that sustained Manx. In Ohio, Manx people needed none of them. They had each other.
