With an element of dancing and singing,
And for other joys,
Ructions, destructions, diversions, and devilment,
Who can come up to the Ballyteague boys. - The name of my district is Derrygrogan Big. There is another district called Derrygrogan Little. Both are in townland of Ballycommon. Parish of Daingean. Barony of Upper Philipstown. There are seven families in seven houses. There are three houses in Derrygrogan Big and four houses in Derrygrogan Little. There are four houses slated and three houses thatched. Mr. Michael Bolger, Derrygrogan is seventy three years of age. "Snots and frogs for the Derrygrogan dogs" is an old saying. The lands is good and boggy in parts. No people emigrated in my district.
