"Jacko" was a very disagreeable man and he terrified the women and the children. "Jacko" would take nothing but money and he slept out because the people were afraid to shelter him. "Jacko" was often put to jail for breaking windows because he was hot tempered. Harper Ryan's name was Patrick Murphy. "Harper Ryan" was a quiet man and the people were not afraid of him and they gave him money or potatoes, or eggs. "Harper Ryan" was a married man and had a family and lived in Tallow in West Street.
   "Rosy Davitt is another of the travelling folk, but since she got the pension she does nd travel around.

She took anything she got or if she got potatoes she sold them on her way home. She had a house in Tallow in West Street and she is living in Tallow still. She does not travel around now but at Christmas and Easter and only to the houses of special benefactors.
