“The First Irish Immigrants
Before England destroyed Ireland’s merchant marine, Irish merchants traded with the American colonies as early as the 1630s. Irish fishermen from Galway and Waterford settled the Isles of Shoals, an archipelago of tiny islands nine miles from the Maine and New Hampshire coast. At first seasonal residents, several hundred Irish and other European fishermen had a permanent settlement on the islands by 1653.”

….this website doesn’t even mention my surname or the county in Ireland they were from but they were also fisherman from the west coast of Ireland, and interestingly at that time, the 1600’s, and even earlier records from the 1500’s in Ireland show that my family was not Catholic, one of them was actually a Protestant priest that was beheaded in the 1590’s.
