    family name was Perry and they went to live in Sleivereigh.
    Michael Dwyer stayed in the other house. Another family named Lennons lived where Dwyer and his comrades were hiding when the English surrounded the house.
    Whe Lennons left the house, people by the name of Perry's came into possession some time later and lived there up to fifty years ago when my grand-father bought it and my father is in possession now.
    The land on this farm is poor light land hilly and some boggy.
    There is one small river separating our farm from Rusty-duff. Keedean mountain is also beside our farm.
