  1. (continued from previous page)
    A family named MacCabes used to live in one of those old houses they are all dead, a family named Fagan used to live in another of the houses they are all dead also, and a family named Nolans used to live in one of the houses, some of them are dead and some of them have emigrated to England. Most of those houses are thatched and a few of them are covered with iron. The land in my district is boggy and marshy.
