   Taking the present parish of Kilmore which includes the old parishes of Kilmore, Kilturk, Tomhaggard and Mulrankin the three outstanding leaders were Bagenal Harvey Bargey Castle, John Boxwell Sarshill, (they two were of Cromwellian descent) and John Henry Colclough of Ballytiegue Castle whose family came to Ireland in Henry V111's time. Bagenal Harvey was executed on the bridge of Wexford in June 1798. He was an ilustrious Irish man and commander in chief for a time. John Boxwell led the Kilmore soldiers to the battle of Ross and was killed there. John H. Colclough was executed on the bridge the day after Harvey. He was buried in St Patricks church yard in Wexford town. The Mulrankin corps was led by Captain Clooney. They fought at the Battles of New Ross and Horetown and did splendid work there.
