    A man named Johnson of Warrenstown, Drumree was very kind to the poor during Famine times.
    A man called John McKeever was kept constantly cooking food and distributing it among the needy.
    One day it would be soup, another day porridge. Johnson died and his daughter married Leonard, who is already mentioned in this book.
