Thomas Brick was born in Limerick, Ireland in 1840. He was 11 years old when he arrived in New York on 5 Jun 1851 aboard the Limerick Lass. The potato famine was from 1845-1852, and the passengers on this ship were many young people and children, so it was likely a mercy ship. There does show likely parents, Bryan and Johanna Brick, traveling with Thomas. Thomas was working as a farmer in the 1860 census. He married Anna Mahar, and they have a long life together. They have eight known children, two died young, but the other six have long lives. Thomas passes away at age 80 in 1920.
