Records are replete with references to early Irish Catholics in
the West Indies. Gwynn in Analecta Hibernica, states: 'The
earliest reference to the Irish is the establishment of an Irish
settlement on the Amazon River in 1612." Smith, in Colonists
in Bondage, reports: "a Proclamation of the year 1625 urged the
banishing overseas of dangerous rogues (Irish Political
Prisoners); kidnapping (of Irish) was common."https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/englands-irish-slaves-10927
