    After some time he left Kilclarin and removed to the other side of the parish. He taught a school in the townland of Curragh. He did not live here but in a townland near by called Derrybinne where his family lived.
    He had two daughters one of whom was married to a tailor named Mr Ryan in Limerick. The other was married to a Mr Bugler of Kilral (?) who it is said was an apprentice to Ryan. Brian left Feakle for Limerick about the year 1800 where he died about eight years aftewards in Clare Street under poor circumstances. His body was brought back to Feakle and buried there according to Walter Moloney who lived near the graveyard and who actually met the funeral.
