- When Colonel Knox had possession of the land in Creagh there was a black smith in it. One day as the smith was shoeing a horse the Colonel came into the forge and asked him why he was shoeing the horse. The smith said because he wanted a new pair of shoes. Then the Colonel said “why would not the old ones do him?” And the smith said “Would they do you?” When the smith said that the Colonel got vexed and he took up the anvil and gave him one blow of it and killed him. From that day till this there never was a blacksmith in Creagh nor a Knox either.
