Well the irish immigration came in three waves. The first and second "wave" came after 1717. Then the last (3rd) wave was in the mid 19th century (1840s). But the majority of the Irish Immigration was during the 1800s. From about 1841-1850 the U.S recorded 780,719 Irish immigrants. The number is a rough calculation but its probably close.
