   Where James McGearty lives to-day a Protestant family name Wiley lived and it was from this man Wiley that Mrs Gowran's grandfather bought the farm that they live in at present.

   The descendants of Wiley who later became Catholics are still living around Kinnegad.

   Where the present Knockaville School stands a family named Bardon lived and on the other side of the road where the old forge was a few years ago another family named Darby lived. The house that the local blacksmith (Michael Gaffney) occupies at present was before the famine times owned by a family named Purdon. Quite close to Purdon's lived a man named Coffey who was a tailor. It was said of Coffey that he worked all day in the Parish of Kinnegad and slept in the Parish of Milltown at night. As his house was a two-roomed cottage and was built on the ........ two parishes - the Kitchen being in Kinnegad Parish and the Bedroom in Rochfortbridge Parish
