The family were merchants and shipowners in Dublin, Armagh, Inverkipp, Liverpool, and in New Orleans, and Galveston where they were cotton brokers. They married with the Moore and Hutchinson families of Galveston, both of which played significant parts in the development of Texas and of Galveston in particular.
