- The name of th landlord in Knockmoylan was Mr Maclintock. He was a bad landlord. Some families were evicted. The evicted people went to the houses of their friends. The people were evicted because they were not able to pay high rent to the landlord. The evicted people were out for three months. The landlord and police came and put out the people on the roadside and the police were put in their houses. The people stayed out until they were left back again because no body would take the land. The land was divided into farms under his guidance.
