    “When the Barrack in Churchtown 1822 was burned by the white boys one policeman named Dunlap happened to be out on patrol and he ran into the White Boys”

    Share Share Tweet
    When the Barrack in Churchtown 1822 was burned by the White Boys one policeman named Dunlap happened to be out on patrol and he ran into the White Boys in the Cow Field just outside the village.
    They captured him and as he knew most of them they saw it was not safe to let him off so they tried him and shot him.
    Ever since in this district the people say of one who is surely dead that "He is as dead as Dunlap"
