This post will continue my research of the Wafer line and show their story in Ireland. Please see Part One that was posted on January 21, 2018 for their story in England & Wales and the post from December 3, 2017 on my Wafer ancestor's life on the frontiers of early America. The research is ongoing as I continue to update and add new records.

1534 – Wafer – a captain for Thomas Fitz-Gerald near Fingal. Thomas Fitz-Gerald, eldest son to the earl of Kildare, being left lord deputy in his father's absence, a rumour was spread abroad that his father was imprisoned and beheaded in London; upon which he surrendered the sword to the council, and flew out into open rebellion. The council sent secretly to the mayor and citizens to apprehend FitzGerald and his accomplices. But either the favour of the citizens to that house, or the strength of the confederacy, or the weakness of the city, which was much dispeopled by a plague then reigning in town and country, prevented any attempt at that time however, the citizens afterwards behaved themselves with zeal and resolution against him. Fingal was the granary which usually supplied the city with corn but was now exposed to the depredations of the O'Tools, and other Irish of the mountains, assisted by John Burnell of Balgriffen, a gentlemen of a good estate in Fingal, who favoured the rebellion. The citizens having received advice that the O'Tools were busied in conducting a prey from Fingal to the mountains, sallied out to intercept them at Kilmainham-bridge. They met the enemy near the wood of Salcock, but being over-powered with numbers, they were routed and four score of them slain. This misfortune threw the city into a consternation, which Fitz-Gerald laying hold of; demanded liberty to march his army through it, and lay siege to the castle, promising that no citizen should be injured in his property by his soldiers. The citizens took time to advise on this matter before they gave their consent; and immediately dispatched one of their aldermen, Francis Herbert, to the king to know his pleasure, who, for his discreet demeanor upon the occasion, received the honour of knighthood, and was made a member of the privy-council. They also consulted the constable of the castle, who regarding the security of the city, gave his consent to the demand, provided he were sufficiently furnished with men and provisions to withstand a siege. The citizens sent by night into the cattle a good store of provisions, and alderman John Fitzsimons, upon his own account, furnished the constable with 20 tun of wine, and 24 tun of beer, 2,000 dried ling, 16 hogsheads of powdered beef, 20 chambers for mines, and an iron chain for the draw-bridge that he had procured to be forged in his own house to avoid suspicion. The castle being abundantly supplied, the citizens consented to Fitz-Gerald's demands, and he accordingly sent in 600 men under the command of six captains, viz. Field, Teeling, Wafer, Broad, Rouks and Purcell, who planted two or three pieces of artillery near Preston's inn, opposite to the castle-gate, and intrenched their party with strong ramparts sufficient to defend them from the shot of the castle; and to frighten the constable from annoying them with his ordinance, they threatened to place the youth of the city on the tops of their trenches, as marks at which they would be loth to aim.

It is very doubtful there will be a record uncovered that states exactly where in Ireland the immigrant to America, Francis Wafer, came from. Based upon the information provided to his grandson and the information from the above chronology, I believe Francis was living in the Gory area of County Wexford when he left his father's farm and sailed to America.
