____In 1798 Redmonds lived in the house in Corah in which Mrs Dempsey lives now.
There were five of the Redmond men in the rebellion with the insurgents.
As they were coming home one night for food and change of clothing two of them were captured and hanged in their own yard before their father and mother. Another just escaped across a wall in Ballycarney, with a wound in his leg. He was lame for the rest of his life.
His other two brothers also escaped.
One of their sisters coming from Ballycarney where she had been milking cows met a crowd of yoemen at Corah Hill. She was driving an ass with car filled with cans of milk.
They dragged her out of the car and put her on her knees on the road. They were about to shoot her as a reprisal for her brothers' escape.
But an officer coming on the scene stopped the cowardly act. So she escaped.
These people were cousins of my own.Cait Ni Thuathail.
