- There were many more people there long ago than are there now. There was a famine there in 1847 and 48 and most of people died during that time. The potato crops failed and the people had nothing to eat and they had to eat hard turnips. Sir Walter Raleigh was the first man who bought the potatoes to this country he got them from Spain. There was a man near the Blackwater and he found a cow washed ashore near Villierstown and he ate her some time after he was found dead.
