  1. William Breen and his family used to never live in their own house. They used to live in a cave in the Mountains. One night some English soldiers happened to be up that way, and it began to rain. They were looking for shelter and they came across the cave. They went into the cave and found William Breen and his family asleep. They arrested him and put him to death the next day.
