“My granduncle Joseph Doherty who lived in the place where we live now was very fond of playing cards.”
(continued from previous page)There are traces of an old road along the side of our farm. It goes out (of) over Dooish hill & comes on down & crosses the river. It is said there used to to be a ford across the river near Charles McGinley's by which means the people got across. Then the road lead over Curraghamone. It is said that St. Patrick rode on horse-back along this road & while he was riding past the "Altar Field" which belongs to Charles McGinley which was along the road he prophesied that Mass should be said in that field. It is said that his prophecy was fulfilled as Mass was said in it during Penal Days.
