    One day a man named Flynn was working on the road, he saw some green flowers named Smearment, Some of the boys asked him what flowers were these, "He said smearat," so they laughed and christened him Smearat. His family are since known as Smearats.
    A family named Powers would not eat any potatoes only "champions" so the people nicked named them, "Champions"
