"The Earps lived in the Baroney of Lower Fews in Mullaghbrack Parish in the Townland of Mullerg, and lived a few miles south of town of Armagh in Northern Ireland." "They fled Ireland in 1680 and returned to England when it became clear that James II was arming for Catholic Supremacy in the province."

John migrated to Northern Ireland about 1620. He settled in Mullighbrach Parish in the townland of Mullbert, Barony of Fews, a few miles south of the City of Lurgin, County Armagh. We know that from 1620-1627 John Earps, yeoman, was lessee of two towns for 60 years in Clanconaghy in the Barony of Fews. We next find mention of John in the 1625-1627 Armagh Manor Court Rolls Calenda r, "Likewise they present that Daniel McGorry on the first day of July past b y force and arms, that is to say with staves, broke into the lands of John Er pe called Ballebraghan and made entry and then cut and carried away from the said lands twenty loads of turn to the serious loss of him, John Erpe and in contempt of our Lord the King."
