The oldest person in Killaduff is Abraham Williams who is eighty- four years of age. When he was going to school he never learned Irish. The population has increased very much our family being the largest. About eighty years ago there was only one house in Killaduff, which was owned by relatives of the famous Billy Byrne of Ballymanus who was captured by the English and hanged in Wicklow Jail in the 1799. They were wealthy and used to hire women to herd the large flocks of geese they used to rear, and they used to employ eight men on the farm.
