The field of education also had a representative group of Irish- men. William Homes and Richard Fitzgerald were schoolmasters. Thomas and Nehemiah Walter and Thomas Maccarty were grad- uated from Harvard College, while John Mckinstry received his degree from the University of Edinburgh and Samuel Osborn, his parchment from the University of Dublin. The public school system of Boston was financially aided from time to time by the generosity of John Cogan.
Irish Catholics were certainly among the settlers from Ireland but there exists no way of ascertaining their religion. Presbyteri- anism is mentioned as the religion of the average Irish immigrant. Among the ministers of Irish extraction were John Lyford, Ne-

SUMMARY
hemiah and Thomas Walter, Thaddeus Maccarty, James Mac- Gregor, John McKinistry, John Lyon, John Murray, Samuel Os- born and William Homes.
In military service the chapter on King Philip's War and the references to the French and Indian Wars including the expedi- tion to Louisburg in 1745 indicate that a large number of the rank and file was of Irish origin.
The various tables roughly show the number of Irishmen in Massachusetts in 1765. The low average of .02 per cent for the entire colony outside of Boston would be slightly higher if the Boston figure and percentage for 1770, 1,368 Irishmen and .088, were considered. In practically every section under study the per- centage of Irish to the total population has been very low. Fur- ther research would undoubtedly raise the percentage but only slightly so. Massachusetts before 1775 was not the center of a strong Irish settlement. It is interesting to note that some of the Irish families increased in numbers considerably, such as the de- scendants of Philip Welch, who in 1800 numbered eighty-five, while at the same time other Irish families were decreasing nu- merically, e.g., the Walter family which was extinct by 1854. In final summary there were in Massachusetts in 1770 2,198 Irish persons out of a total population studied in this survey of 120,070, representing the low percentage of .018.
