Duffy’s Cut
What this seems to point to is that a significant portion of these boys – the passenger list of the John Stamp is very peculiar in consisting mainly of young single males.
These ‘expendable’ Irish went forgotten for over a hundred and fifty years before someone started to wonder what happened to them but did their families back in Derry, Donegal and Tyrone wonder, too? There does not seem to have been any inquiries into missing family members. Did the RR company answer all inquiries with a standard ‘whereabouts unknown’?A sad tale of deceit and coverup of deaths of those thought to be unimportant to the world.
Robert Ewing (18)* – Donaghmore
John Ewing (16) Donegal * Templemore etc

The 'Ghosts Of Duffy's Cut'* is an appellage attached to men who set sail from Derry on the barque John Stamp, or on the ships Ontario, Prudence and Asia, on a two-month voyage in the Summer of 1832 in pursuit of a vision of what life could be like in America.

This strategy may score some early and initial success. These rarer specimens, according to Griffiths Evaluation, are William Devine, Robert Ewing, John Doak, David and William Patchell (all from County Donegal); all from the John Stamp.
