- The name of my townland is Wood-of-O. The name of my Parish is Daingean and the name of my barony is Upper Philipstown. The number of families is sixteen. The number of people is sixty three. No name is common. There are ten slated and six thatched houses. The Wood-of-O got it's name because there was a wood in it at one time and mostly yew trees grew in the wood. There are four old people in my district. They know no Irish. They can not tell stories in Irish but they can tell them in English.
