as a ship was sailing from an Irish Port to America, a sailor named
Toliver Craig fell overboard and was drowned. The next morning a boy
baby was found on the deck of the vessel, with no one to claim him or
take care of him. The ship was loaded with emigrants, among whom were
his parents, who doubtless felt too poor to assume the care of the little
fellow in the new county to which they were going; so they took that
method of throwing him upon the charities of the ship's crew. After
some consultation, it was decided to name the little waif for the lost
sailor, and he was accordingly christened Toliver Craig. He grew to
be a man, married and had a son, whom he also named Toliver. The latter
