   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   There were never many Fenians around here because there was another society here called "The Ribbonmen" and these never let the Fenians go ahead. The principal Ribbonman here was James Mc.Cabe - probably from Manorwaterhouse (writer's note)

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Pat Maguire (grandfather of the narrator on his mother's side - he was probably from Clonmackin {near Clontivern} - the narrator {1938} has their farm now) was the captain of the United Irishmen around here. He marched to Lisburn and the journey took him 3 weeks. {the narrator here mentioned that Maguire was courtmartialled eleven times and escaped each time but that is rather doubtful} He with his soldiers marched to Lisburn and slept there.
