- Michel Collier the high way man was born in Lisdornan, his mother died when he was born. He was brought up with an uncle. When he grew up he became a high way man, because he saw an eviction when he was young. He used to rob the mail coaches running between Dublin and Belfast, and he gave the money to the poor.
