From the _Connecticut Gazette_, Jan. 5, 1764: “Just imported from Dublin, in the brig _Darby_, a parcel of Irish servants, both men and women, to be sold cheap, by Israel Boardman, at Stamford.” The people thus advertised were doubtless of the “Redemptioner” class, to be disposed of for a term of years, to pay for the expense of bringing them over. From the Boston Selectmen’s Records, Jan. 15, 1715: “Jarvice Bethell, sho maker Late of Ireland who w^{th} his wife came by the way of New found Land into this Town in August Last is admitted an Inhabit^t on condition, he finde suretyes to y^e Satisfaction of y^e Sel. men to y^e value of 100 [£], Since its consented y^t Mr. Shannon’s bond Shall Suffice.” Hon. John Fanchereau Grimke was a colonel in the Revolutionary army and judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Early in life he wedded Mary Smith. She was of Irish and English stock, and was the great granddaughter of the second landgrave of South Carolina, and descended on her mother’s side from the famous Irish chieftain, Roger Moore. Daniel McCurtin, believed to be of Maryland, was in the Patriot army at the siege of Boston. He kept a journal of his observations and experiences. The same has been published and narrates many interesting incidents of the siege. The journal may be found in _Papers Relating Chiefly to the Maryland Line During the Revolution_, edited by Thomas Balch. The town of Sterling, Conn., was named in honor of Dr. Henry Sterling, an Irish physician and surgeon, who was located in Providence, R. I., before and during the Revolution. When the patriots from Providence destroyed the British armed vessel _Gaspee_, June 10, 1772, Dr. Sterling responded to a summons to attend the wounded commander of the _Gaspee_. Timothy Murphy, an Irish physician, came to this country in 1776 and settled in Monmouth county, New Jersey. He engaged in farming; married Mary Garrison, granddaughter of Richard Hartshorne, of that county, who was a member of the Colonial Council and of the Assembly of the Province. Murphy served in the Patriot army during the Revolution. Nehemiah Walter was sent by his father from Ireland to America, about 1674, to serve an apprenticeship to an upholsterer in Boston. Having a fondness for books he, with the consent of his father, attended college and graduated in 1680. He settled in Roxbury, Mass., and married Sarah, a daughter of Increase Mather. (_N. E. Hist., Gen. Register_, Jan., 1853.) Rev. James Hillhouse was born in Ireland, and in 1720 came to America. He settled in Connecticut and married a great granddaughter of Capt. John Mason. Their son, William Hillhouse, became a member of the Continental Congress and was a cavalry officer in the Revolution. He represented his town in 106 semiannual sessions of the legislature.
