  1. The name of the land who received the rent from the people in Sheetrim was Tomas Henry of Derry-island. His house is to be seen to the present day on Derry-island hill. There are hiding places for guns in the walls. The name of Toma's agent was John Anderson Strand-townd Street Bellfast. This land-lord was nothing to brag about. The Henrys were of Cromwellion decent. This land-lord evicted many people in this district but I can not find out their names.
    My rent and taxes were to pay,
    And them I could not redeem,
    And thats another cruel reason why
    I left old Skibbereen.
