Sometime in 1745 as James McQuade and Robert Burns of Bedford, N. H., were returning from Penacook to their homes, whither they went to procure corn for their families, they were fired on by Indians who appeared to be lying in wait for the opportunity. McQuade was shot down and killed, but his companion escaped. (Drake’s _French and Indian War_.) The Rev. Robert Morris, who was pastor of the First Church in Greenwich, Conn., in 1785, was “born and brought up in N. York. His parents came from Ireland, the Father a rigid Churchman, his mother a Roman Catholic. He living and being brot up with a Baptist at N. York became one.” (_Rev. Ezra Stiles, quoted by Rev. James H. O’Donnell, Norwalk, Conn._) We find Joseph Manly in Conventry, Conn., in 1786; Patrick Butler in Hartford, and Richard Kearney in New London in 1793. In the list of expenses paid by Connecticut for the capture of Ticonderoga and adjacent posts, occurs the name of an Irishman: “To Patrick Thomas, for boarding prisoners, £1, 5s.” (Rev. J. H. O’Donnell in _Catholic Transcript_, Hartford, Conn.) On July 2, 1788, Captain Chapman, and nine emigrants from Ireland, were drowned a short distance from the shore of Fisher’s Island. He had just arrived with about 20 emigrants, some of whom were ill. In attempting to land the latter at a spot where they were to be placed in quarantine, all perished. (Rev. J. H. O’Donnell in _Catholic Transcript_, Hartford, Conn.) John J. Henry’s parents came from Coleraine, Ireland. John was born in Lancaster, Pa., 1758, and was with Arnold’s expedition to Quebec. He was captured by the British and kept a prisoner for nine months. On being released, he was offered a lieutenancy in the Pennsylvania line, but desired a captaincy in the Virginia line. Ill health interfered somewhat with his military career. According to Hotten’s _Lists_, Brian Kelley, aged 20, embarked for Virginia in the vessel _Safety_, 1635. Among those to be transported to “y^e Barbadoes,” 1635, were Dennis MacBrian, Teague Nacton, Dermond O’Bryan and Margaret Conway. They embarked in the _Alexander_. Mary Driskell, of St. James’ parish, Barbadoes, was buried 1678. Dorothy Callahan, of Barbadoes, was buried Aug. 10, 1679. Miss Virginia Baker of Warren, R. I., author of a “History of Warren in the War of the Revolution,” writes us: “Perhaps you will be interested to know that the first Irishman known to have settled in Warren was one John O’Kelley. I think he arrived in town prior to 1770.... I have located real estate that he owned.” Miss Baker also informs us that some of his descendants are still to be found in Warren.
