   graveyard but how it came to be in this position is not known. I have seen it taken up in making graves and put back again. Among the families buried there are the Rocks - the last of them being John Rock an uncle of Cardinal McCloskey, who died in May 1885. His wife (Eliza Duffy a sister of John Duffy of Ballygarden in Kiltrustan Parish) and his two sons Michael & Edward & daughter Lizzie then emigrated to Australia as their two eldest sons John & Patrick had settled in Sydney with a sister Biddy, having gone there on the free Emigration. John Rock's sister who was the Cardinal 's mother was named Biddy or Anne. This John Rock & the Cardinal's mother would be 4th cousins of mine as they were second cousins once removed of my father. I don't know if the Rocks' burial plot has been used by any others since they emigrated I know that some people (Farrells of Cloonmurray) claimed kindred with them and intended to bury their father Mick Farrell in their Plot, but instead of doing so they opened a grave in the Hunt's burial Plot and buried him there, although there was a slab? in the Hunts' burial plot erected to the memory of a Michael Hunt (a Great Grand Uncle of my father) and his wife Margaret Walker and their two sons Peter & Francis bearing date 1777 which is still standing beside the Celtic Cross I erecte to the memory of my father & mother in 1915. I believe the reason the grave was opened in the Hunts' plot
