    Share Share Post
    Major Jackie Gardiner - Miss Gardiner's Grandfather first lived in Tonroe, where OBoyle now lives. He bought Farmhill farm for 14 bullocks and he built the present house on it.
    When Miss Gardiner got possession of it she came from the Isle of Man. The tenants went to meet her and had great illuminations. While Miss Harrison, her companion, stayed with her, she was kind to her tenants.
    The Pringles, a Scotch family had a mortgage on her property and Miss Pringle came to live with her.
    She evicted tenants from Ballybeg.
    One Christmas night, when she was sitting at the kitchen fire with her servant girl and servant man she was fired at and lost an eye as a result. She evicted tenants afterwards.
