- Connor Mc Cabe was coming home one night from a card play. He lived in the townland of Tegman, Co. Monaghan. When he was coming home he had to pass a fort, and as he was passing it he met a green coated man. He asked him would he do a message for him, and Connor said he would. Then he gave Connor a note and told him go to the neighbouring fort, and he would meet a red coated man, and to give him the note. He gave him two gold coins when he was going.
