   There was a woman who lived on Gelsha Hill, Parish of Clumbcille, Barony of Granard, C. Longford and her house was a little hut. During the famine for a week she had only a head of cabbage and she lived on that for that time. Her name was Kitty Clarke. Before that she was Mrs Rogers. She is dead about twenty years. Her nickname was "Sandballs" because she made her living collecting fine sand, wetting it, making it into balls which she dried in the sun and sold for scrubbing. [Hugh Carthy got this from his father]

   A troop of Irishmen tried to prevent the English from reaching Mullingar which was being marched on by some of the Wexford men.
   The battle took place at Granard and after the defeat of the Irish some of them were hanged from the shafts of a cart on the top of the Moat of Granard. Some of them were hanged by being dragged by a rope over the shoulder of a man named Hempenstal. Hempenstal was afterwards known as the walking gallows. He was very tall and is supposed to have lived at Derrycassin House in Mullinalaghta near Granard on the "Dopping and Hempenstal Estate.
