    Share Share Post
    The name of my home district is Knockea. It's Parish is Horeswood or Sutton's, and is situated in the Barony of Shelbourne. There are ten families and forty six people in it. The family name most common is O Connor. There are now two O Connor families, but in former times there were three O Connor's in Knockea, the third family emigrated to America, and the house is now occupied. There are no thatched houses in Knockea, they are all slated.
    The word Knockea means The Hill of Hugh, Cnoc Aodh.
    A Saint is connected with this district. This saint lived in Kilmokea.
    There are two or three men over seventy in my home district. There names are -: Martin Finn and Richard Finn. There were more houses in Knockea long ago than are now. The land is hilly and good with little bog.
    There are no rivers or streams.
