My great grand father lived in the tome of the war in '98.
He lived in Inniscorthy in Wexford in a little house near a big protestant house . The morning the rebellion began the fist shot was let at my great grand father from his next door neighbour . He did not shoot him. During the fight in Wexford Father Murphy was the leader they fought many battles.
After they fighting for a long time in Wexford they came to save Co. Meath expecting to meet a great crowd to help them , but they found very few .My great grand father did not die for years after.
