Information got from James Morris Cloonee Mohill,
writ James Browne Cloonee Mohill.
Once a man named morris was filling bags of oats. Each bag weighed 5 cwt. He said that if any man would carry one of them for an Irish mile he would give him the bag of oats for nothing. The son agreed to carry it. He took the bag up and carried it an Irish mile and he got the bag of oats for himself.
