    He was followed by the Yeomen and tradition says he was killed in Mayo near Tourlestrance beside Ballina.
    As a proof of the story, a bridge in townland (Tawley) is called Mary's Bridge. In the centre of the bridge is a large stone with the inscription
    Mary's Bridge - 1817.
    It was she herself, Mary Belcon, who had the bridge erected. As to the priest's name we are in doubt as he has been called Fr. John Murphy, who may be confused with Fr. John Murphy, of 1798 rebellion fame.
    Undoubtedly the rest of the story is correct as the bridge testifies.
