If a farmer had six children and when they were getting married he divided his farm equally among them and by doing so there was no Emigration. The landlord had special powers over his tenants in voting. The voting was public and if the people did not vote for the landlord he evicted them the next day. There were certain townlands for keeping up the Protestants Church, the rents of these townlands went to the up keep of the Church and the were called the Glebe lands. In this area the townlands were Killenna and Kinara and in the Dromahair area Correidda and Conaghil, but there was no such collections for the Catholics; all went to the Protestants.
