BOUND AWAY: ONE WOMAN’S JOURNEY AS AN IRISH INDENTURED SERVANT. MAGGIE DELANEY “…exceptin’ that now we didn’t” belong to ourselves any longer, but to another man.”

SUNDAY, JULY 9 TH , 2:00 PM --SPECIAL OPENING

This is one program you will not want to miss! It is a part of history that few know. Carol Jarboe and her husband, Frank, will present a reenactment of an Irish indentured servant, Maggie Delaney, and her journey from Ireland to the new continent. Pastor John, portrayed by Frank Jarboe, is a supporting part of the story.

For years, Carol has researched and mastered her live performances of the fictional character Maggie Delaney, an Irish indentured servant who gains passage to the new world, only to lose her family in the process. Maggie’s tale will bring to light the difficult and heroic journey that many of our ancestors took to secure themselves in a new land.

Both Carol and Frank Jarboe have portrayed unknown history that shaped lives, social and historical culture and events throughout the U.S. Avid Living Historians, they have studied and portrayed time periods of US history from 1750-1835.

Both Carol and Frank are retired teachers and are passionate about showing the interesting sides of history that are passed over in the usual history books. They travel continually, covering 15 states, appearing at 18th and early 19th century Living History events as multiple characters from all walks of life. Both are featured on Townsend’s Living History YouTube channel and have well over a million views.
