THE FAMILY LINE OF JUSTIN TIERNEY
I am not kin to Justin Tierney, though
I may have been once. John Tierney was
the explorer who discovered The Brooklyn
Bridge. After that, he sided with the tribe
of breakaway Algonquins who resettled
what's now called Staten Island. He built
the first multi-screen movie palace there.
I think that was 1724, as I recall.

Then, when they put up the superhighway
for horses, in 1740 - same year as the
black-slave riots that burned NYC, he was
never heard from again and his lineage was
lost - as well as his horse.
