    My Townland
    My townland is called Derrygellia, (Roslea P.O.) Derrygellia means the oak wood of the servant. It is in a very mountainous district, 3 miles from the main road which runs from Roslea to Fivemiletown. It is in Co. Fermanagh but the border river is in our farm.
    There are two great wells in it, one is called Tobarac. It is called a spring, another well is beside the Mass Rock.
