Notes for John Irish:
Our line has been traced from Sir Adam de Ireys to John Irish. John came to the American colonies with John Bradford, the son of Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony.

At the time of his arrival, John was indentured to Timothy Hatherly. The terms of John's Indenture, recorded july 12, 1629 notes:

"John Irish, of the Parish of Clisdon, County of Somerset, labourer, agreed to Timothy Hatherly, feltmaker, of the Parish of St. Gloves, in Southwark, County of Surrey, to abide with him five years at Plymouth, New England, having meat, drink and lodging and five pounds per year, and at the end of that time, 12 bushels of that country's wheat, corn and 25 acres of land."

It is noted that John most likely sailed on "The Talbot" which arrived at Cape Ann, Salem (Massachusetts) on June 27, 1629. John Irish is considered the founder of our line of the Irish family in North America.
