Michael Fitzsimmons Sr., and his wife Bridget Kent immigrated from Ireland late in the fall of 1840 not having time to secure a farm and build a house before Winter set in, he dug a large hole in the bank of the S.W. River and used a tent for the other room on John Bernards farm (Couslons). Here Robert was born and was fed from a clam shell.
