Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charter Constitution, by-Laws, Officers, Committees, Roll of Members, &C: Of the Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in the City of New York The Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in the City of New York, instituted on March 17th, 1784, had its origin in Irish Officers connected with the armies of the American Revolution. Daniel McCormick, Esquire, was its founder and its president for many years. The objects of the Society were: (1) to assist poor and distressed natives, and descendents of natives of Ireland; and (2) to promote friendly, social feelings among its members. With these laudable purposes as a foundation, on March 17, 1784 (the first St. Patrick's Day following the evacuation of New York by the British in November, 1783), the Society inaugurated its festive functions at "Capes' Tavern," the Delmonico's of that time.
