- After Robert Emmet's Rebellion in 1803, Michael Dwyer was able to maintain himself for some years in the Wicklow mountains though a military road was made by the Government for the pacification of the County. The soldiers employed in the district were called Cameron Highlanders. One of those a Major Cameron secretly sympathised with the Irish, and habitually sent word to Dwyer about the places to be raided next. The intermediary was a beggerman. This man whose name and place of burial are now unknown, could if he had been base enough, obtained the money offered by the Government for the capture of Dwyer.
