In Hotten’s _Original Lists_ of emigrants, among others is published the
names of the following persons arriving in Virginia between 1616 and
1624: John Higgins, John Cannon, John Collins, John Healey, Francis
Downing, John Fludd, Tege Lane, “of Corke in Ireland”; Tege Williams,
“Irishman”; John French, of Washford “(Wexford) in Ireland”; Thomas
Cawsey (Casey), James Connor, James Dore, Ann Mighill, John Duffee,
Thomas Doughtie (Dougherty); John Moore, Giles Martin, Thomas Jordan,
Francis Butler, Thomas Burns, “and Bridget, his wife”; Thomas Dunn,
Edmund Blaney, John Burroughs, “and Bridget, his wife”; John Griffin,
William Lacey, Alice Kean, Thomas Farley, A. Conoway, Hugh Hughes, Bryan
Rogers, William Joyce, John Haney, Elizabeth Haney, Peter Jordan, Luke
Boyse, Thomas Oage, his wife and son.
Some, undoubtedly, of the foregoing came here as the servants of English
landed proprietors in Ireland, and there is no doubt that others came as
actual settlers, for there is mention later of grants of land to some of
them. Let that be as it may, however, here was quite an addition to the
scant population of the colony of a liberal mixture of Irish blood with
that of the early English settlers.
On the same authority, Hotten, there was a large increase of the same
blood some years later, in 1635. Hotten copied his lists from the
originals preserved in England. Many of the originals were either lost,
mutilated, or destroyed. In consequence, they are incomplete. The period
thus partly covered is between 1600 and 1700. The following names are
published among hundreds of others in the lists as arriving in Virginia
during the year 1635: Richard Hughes, Garrett Riley, Miles Riley, James
Bryan, Thomas Murphie, Christopher Carroll, Philip Connor, Jo Dunn.
As the ages of the foregoing are given and the average was twenty years,
it is fair to presume that they came over as servants. They are followed
by Richard Fleming, Charles McCartee, Owen McCartee, Bryan McGowan,
Patrick Breddy, Bryan Glynn, John Neale, William Redman, William Hart,
Elizabeth Riley, Daniel Flood, William Hickey, John Herron, Edward
Hughes, James Morfey, Robert Bryan, Dennis Hoggan (Hogan), Jo Dermott,
Jo Butler, Jo O’Mullen, Charles Gibbon, Richard Kirby, Humphrey Buckley,
Olough Berne, Daniel Vaughan, Bryan Hare, Thomas Connier (Connor), Jo
Tullie, Donough Gorkie, Gerald Butler, John Griffin, Thomas Purcell,
John Duffy, Edmund Butler, James Gavett and John Gavett, “Irishmen”;
James Fenton, Thomas Dunn.
