The Famine
“The "Big Famine" which occurred during the years eighteen forty six and forty seven”
The local landlord in Geevagh district was named Keogh. The Keogh family got possession of these lands during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

On one farm, owned by a man named Pat Conlon, there were four evictions; on another farm owned by a man named Thomas John Conlon there were three evictions.
