- There were four Landlords in Killea.
Butlers lived in Park. They were good landlords.
Lloyd lived in Lloydsboro. Evidently a bad lot.
Going had a cottage in Kilduff.
Another Lloyd lived in Skehanna.The whole district seems to have been planted again and again. I am not prepared to write anything I am told as I am afraid of repercussions as all stories seek to refer in some way or another to present inhabitants.
e.g. Paul Higgins brought a gardener named -- to grow hops for him. That is how we have all the so and so's in the parish
The Egans from whom I have got most stories seem to be the third generation.
