George "owned and occupied the farm west of the town, now occupied by Wallace and John Crockett, whose grandfather, William Crockett, moved on it, November 11, 1843." [p.13 Whidden] having come from Lochaber, Antigonish County. William and Alexander Irish, grandsons of George Irish, about 1862 built a house on the south side of Bay Street, almost opposite the present driveway to St. Martha`s Hospital, and immediately west of the home of Mrs. Phillips, who was their mothers mother, but she died before the house was completed, and they moved to Baddeck, Cape Breton, with their mother. That house was afterwards owned by Donald MacDonald, "Kirk"

There is an error here - a couple 'Mary Cunningham's' from different generations appear to have become confused. This Mary b. 9-19-1777 m.
George Irish and 'Mary Emery (Cunningham) Randall' b. 1805 - wife of Elisha Matthew Randall. I hope to sort this out eventually. Please be patient while I try to sort it out.
