- The famine affeited the district very much. At that time the district was very thickly populated. There was a lot of houses on every farm then. In some places the potatoes grew alright but they decayed in the ground in other places. Where they did not decay the poor people dug the tillage three times searching for small potatoes. They ate rye bread instead. When it was late the English sent them Indian meal. The people died in great numbers. Great sickness follow.
