    1798
    Birth Place of Fr. J. Murphy
    Not far from my house can be seen the field and the mark where the house, in which Fr. John Murphy the brave leader of 1798, was born.
    It is in the townsland of Tincurry in the parish of Ferns.
    There are fir-deal trees there which are said to have been there in Fr. Murphys time.
    Stones of his house are to be seen still, amongst them the hearthstone.
    The place along with other small farms were taken by a Protestant. It is now again the property of a Catholic.
    It is a co-incidence that the first Catholic to re-purchase the place is called Murphy and it is still leld by that familys descendents.
