Made Doureen knew the men but never pretended she saw them from my mother I always heard her noblest deed was the burial of Father Murphy's head. After the awfull battle which took place fiercely at Lea Lane and the Crossroads.
Ther was a scene too terrible to describe the Orange people were grabbing and running away with the priest's clothes. His stockings were taken by a woman named named Black from Lea Lane. She was called Doll Black Stockings after that.
