“There were about sixty families in all evicted by this cruel Thomas Talbot.”
There were about sixty families in all evicted by this cruel Thomas Talbot. Some of those went to other parts while others clung on to the old spot and their descendants live to the present day to tell the story to their grandchildren. All these poor people of those far off days were too peaceful to think of revenge; they left their sad case on the hands of a just God and they were not disappointed.
Talbot who robbed the poor people of their land was punished for his crimes. Some growth like a horn appeared on his forehead. He afterwards left Terryglass and went to Shinrone where he died.
