Michael; Donald B Macurda undertook a lot of research on this line; I don't believe that he had conclusive proof of a 'link' back in Ireland, but rather inferred, based upon earlier works etc; he did however examine a lot of early material in Maine, and published this in his book - The Early McCurdys of Maine; their antecedants and descendands.
THere were only fifty copies of this produced, but I beleive one was given by him to the Library of COngress. There is also a small pamphlet - the ANnals of the Hilton-Macurda family, printed about 1905, although I haven't yet seen this, DB Macurda did refer to it in his bibliography.
I should be interested in learning more about your more recent genealogy, and your own precise line of descend from James named above.
If you would care for more, please contact me at
[email protected]; incidentally I am one of those McCurdys from 'over the ocean' - living near Belfast, Northern IReland.
Best wishes for the new year
Shane McCurdy
