The celebrated Captain Makay founded a division in the parish.
Makay, formerly an officer in the American army performed many daring exploits.
He captured Ballyknockane barrack and [Fota?] and disarmed the garrison at the latter place. He seized guns and revolver ammunition in Murray's Gunshop and Allports Gunshop in Cork.; the former establishment still exists, but the latter has disappeared.
Later in an affray he shot a policeman and being captured was transported to Australia.(continues on next page) - Informant
