   say. In 1745 Liam Dall and the guide were coming from Charleville they were crossing a trench the guide missed his step and he fell down in the deep trench. Liam Dall shouted for help but no help came, then Liam Dall thought if he when home without the guide. Damer would hang him because he would think he murdered him Then Liam Dall began to feel along the water with his hands for the guide, he caught him by the hair of the head and pulled him up. When they came back Liam Dall thought there would be a rising in Ireland but there was only a rising in Scotland and Bonnie Prince Charlie came back Damer was stiff and sacked the guide and left Liam Dall plough along the roads by himself nobody would guide him.

   There was war in Ireland in 1641 to 1651 and the Cromwellians were capturing all the cities. He had a lot of soldiers. One of them was Joseph Damer and the Stewards name was Smith. The Cromwellians passed the Cross of Shronell when they were going to capture the city of Limerick and Kilmallock castle Then the Cromwellians were putting out the Catholics out of their lands. Ireton asked a man there by the name of Heffernan if he wanted anything they would help him. Heffernan said to leave him as he was because he had a lot of land from Emly to Lattin, he said they were another man named Smith he said it was he that had helped him all. Ireton took it all down in his book when the time came he gave Smith a big lot of land. Jospeh Damer got a lot of land and he build a house in Mount Bruis. When he died he left it to John Damer he came over from Co. Dorset in England.
