John Irish Jr. was a carpenter by trade, and lived at Duxbury, MA., then moving to Little Compton, Rhode Island in about 1673. As a youth he was listed as a servant to Captian Miles Standish and was mentioned in the Standish will. He was appointed as Constable of Little Compton on 7-5-1678, with the oath of office being administered by Captian Benjamin Church. He was a surveyor of highways in Little Compton in 1683. John is buried on the old Irish farm located across the road from the Friends Meeting House near Little Compton, Rhode Island.
Note: I know, based on the old calendar and the date on the headstone, that John died in 1717. However, most of the probated records show the dual date 1717/8 (Will dated 9 Nov 1715; Inventory taken 25 Feb 1717/8; Proved 20 Mar 1717/8; Recorded 27 Mar 1718). I think is would be helpful to researchers to have a comment addressing this in his bio. In addition, it would be greatly appreciated if you would add the following to his bio, too; Married (2) Priscilla [Southworth] Talbot, widow of Samuel Talbot, on 1 May 1708 in Little Compton, Newport County, RI. Thank you, in advance, for consideration of my request. Contributor: Linne/Velcro (47336803)∼JOHN, 2nd known child of John & Elizabeth Irish, was born say 1647.
