- In the year of 1798 the soldiers called into a farmer's house O'Connor's Aclamon were their names.
Mr O'Connor and his wife were there. They had a baby in a cradle. One of the soldiers was going to drive his sword through the baby, but the little baby put up his hand to the sword. When the officers saw the baby, it stired his feelings and he ordered his soldier not to touch it, if he would he'd drive the sword through his own heart. The woman was very glad and she gave the soldiers a feed of potatoes and meat.- Collector
