“The year 1798 was one of the most eventful in the history of the Co. Wexford.”
(continued from previous page)The officer in charge told the party that they would have to go to Wexford and report it to the officer there.
This old man from Taghmon heard the conversation.
He immediately related it to his sons who in turn made it known to the head of the local branch of the United Irishmen. An Ambush was quickly arranged and as the party were only two miles outside the town that night on their way to Wexford they were completely wiped out by the local pikemen.
