“Long ago when Cromwell came to Drogheda he sent a man to take a place near Julanstown called Ballygarth.”
"Long ago when Cromwell came to Drogheda he sent a man to take a place near Julanstown called Ballygarth. The man was sorry after for taking the place.
"He rode on a white horse to the place. From that day down to the present day Peppers of Ballygarth have a white horse.
"The last of the Peppers was Colonel Pepper. He was a Colonel in the British army. When he died there was no heir to the place and it came down to a woman whose name was Mrs Dobbon and she had to adopt the name of Mrs Dobbon Pepper"
