    In the townland of Glenboy there lives a man names Thomas Mac Morrow who bought two heifers and after keeping them for some time brought them to a fair in Kinlough a distance of fourteen miles but did not sell the there and had to bring them home again. The following day there was a fair in Drumkeeran and he brought them to it a distance of ten miles and solf them there. He delayed a long time in Drumkeeran and was home before sunset. He lived to be seventy five year of age and died about five year ago.
