Biography Sir John Hurley was a grandson of Sir Maurice Hurley of Knocklong, eldest son of Sir Thomas and Joanna. His father, Sir William, was an M.P. for Kilmallock in 1689 and married Mary Blount.

Of him, a family website states:

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.
