“At Halverstown House owned by Pucells there was a tree which was planted by Daniel O' Connell's father...”
At Halverstown House owned by Purcells there was a tree which was planted by Daniel O'Connell's father. When he was planting it soldiers came and were going to kill him, but he said,
"Do not kill me for I am planting this tree to my memory. They did not kill him. However a few years later the tree was cut down by people named O'Dean's, and it was said they would never have a day's luck. The prophesy came true for all their cattle died.Julia O'Connor- Collector
