Colonel Sir John Hurley, Jacobite soldier and rapparee, fl. December 1694.

Biography

[edit]

Hurley was a son of William Hurly, 3rd Baronet, who was an M.P. for Kilmallock in 1689 and married Mary Blount, and a grandson of Sir Maurice Hurley of Knocklong, eldest son of Sir Thomas and Joanna daughter of John Brown of Mount Brown, County Limerick . He served in the army of King James II in Ireland, and afterwards became a rapparee.[citation needed]

Along with fellow rapparees colonel Dermot Leary, captain Edmond Ryan, captain Matthew Higgins and John Murphy, issued a proclamation in Dublin December 1694, attacking all those not loyal to James II of England. A reward of two hundred pounds was offered to anyone who brought to them any member of King William's privy council and a further fifty pounds for any chief officers still in arms against king James. He was arrested from which he later escaped to France and may have served in the Berwick's Regiment. (p. 92)[citation needed]

He was a cousin of Luis Roberto de Lacy (1772–1817), brigadier general of the Spanish Army who fought for Spain in the Peninsular War.[citation needed]
