The Descendants of John Irish, page 15, says the second wife of John Irish was Priscilla (Southworth) Talbot, m. May 1, 1708. The Little Compton marriages by James N. Arnold, page 36, say John Irish m. Priscilla Church, May __, 1708, by Benjamin Church. There are many errors in The Descendants of John Irish and I have found several errors in the James N. Arnold volumes. --Susan Irish 16:40, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
