Sir John Hurley, Irish Jacobite, fl.

Of him, a family website states: "Sir John Hurley, who, in 1714, was arrested in Dublin, on a charge of having raised a body of troops for the Pretender.

the descendants of this John lived at Drumacoo, near Kinvara, {County Galway} in 1840.

"He appears to be the John Hurley who was a recruiter for the Irish Brigades in the early 18th century (p.204) but is confused in the sources with his cousin, Colonel John Hurley.

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.
