Extract

The Irish Hares are an off-shoot of the much older Hare family in Norfolk. They go back to a certain Michael Hare ‘of Monktown in County Dublin’, who had come to Ireland from Norfolk in the 17th Century, and died without issue in 1685, leaving a large fortune in a Will dated 1684 to his nephew John Hare, ‘a native of Norfolk’. There is evidence of the relationship between the Irish and the Norfolk Hares in [the] similarity between the family coat of arms, particularly in their shields, which can be traced back by the Norfolk branch of the family to the Norman family of D'Harcourt which is believed to have fought in the Crusades.
