  1. The Local Landlords
    Mr Crafford (Crawford) was the landlord and he owned all the land around Donore. He lived in Belfast and Mr Coddington looked after the land for him. It was after the Battle of the Boyne that the land was given to Mr Crafford. It was divided into small farms, and the tenants were not allowed to cut down trees for firewood, nor had they any claim to any game on the farms. If the tenant disobeyed the landlord he was evicted. Mr Crafford was a very bad landlord.
