- The landlord that reigned over our townland was Captain Phillips. He was a very cruel man to Catholics. He was always finding fault with them when ever he got the chance.
If he found them with an animal that even broke loose and was on the road he would summon them. He also evicted families. Mr Phil Mc gahern, father of the present Paddy Mc Gahern, Drumalee, Belturbet was evicted from his home. He lived in the townland of Clowney.
