On the day that this nation laid to rest the "Father of his country" there landed on these shores a man whose part in the Irish rebellion had caused him to flee the mother country to avoid the penalty which the British Government demanded for his patriotism, for a price had been placed upon his head. This was Patrick Denver Sr., grandfather of Gen. James W. Denver.

Patrick Denver removed with his family to this county, locating first at Wilmington & eventually settling on a farm near that town.
