    He seldom spoke afterwards. Every man who came for a daughter after that got one until they were all married. He used go every year to visit each of the daughters in turn before Xmas night. There was one daughter married near Castletown and he went to visit here before Xmas. He died there on Xmas night, and his body was brought to old Kenmare and buried there. His descendants are called the Sliocht Aodh (s) and are very proud of the fact.
