Thanks for the information. How can we access this "new" 1600s Irish information?
James Natthews Sr came to Boston from Ireland in 1718. Within a year he was in Chester County, PA. Somewhere along the way he married Mary McGill. Their son, James Jr married Mary Doak, moved down the Shennandoah, to Mecklinburg County, NC. In their old age they moved to Maury County, Tennessee. I am their descendent, and my family still owns one of the original farms. We have several heirlooms, including a half peck measure that supposedly came from Ireland.
We know that the Matthews, Doak, Walker, and Hanna families migrated together for about 100 years, all ending up in Maury County, TN about 1810.
We have not been able to identify James Sr's father. Sounds like your "new" info is a good lead for study,
