- Coolballintaggart - My Home District.Coolballintaggart means "the back of the Priest's town". It is in Hacketstown Parish. There are eight families in my town-land, and about thirty one people. The most common name is O.Byrne. Slated houses (is) are the most common. There are only four old people in my town-land and they do not know Irish. Some of them can tell stories.
These are the names of all the old people. Mrs. Walsh. Mrs. Mac Clane. Mrs. Byrne. Mr. Byrne. Long ago there were more houses than at present. A number of people went out of Coolballintaggart to America and France. The land is both hilly and boggy. There is one wood named Cool. The river "Owe" runs beside it.Edward Eustace
