“The French under Humbert crossed the Shannon at Ballina.”
(continued from previous page)a townland (in Killinbride parish) called Aughnahoo. It is said that a man called McDermott betrayed them at Aughnahoo and that they were again betrayed at Cornagon by a man called Heeran. The French hid a stocking of gold at Aughnahoo. A feather amn or man who earned his living by gathering feathers came on the gold and become a rich man. The feather man was McKeone and an ancestor of the McKeons of today.
I did not hear that any one was killed at the battle of Ballintra but some years ago the McGols of Darrentunney who one time [?]s came on shin bones and skulls. They buried the bones.
The battle on Cornashampsogue already referred to on page 82.- The people of Deffier and Drumboylan speak today of the Ford as freely as they speak of any townland or every day place. A wooden bridge spans the Shannon at Drumboylan and beside the bridge is the ford. Doctor Healy deals with this in one of his books (see page 47).
