Brennan, Rev.		31	“Mr. BRENNAN, P.P.] of AUGHNAMULLEN was a man like his relations people of the old school who were the esteem of their protestant neighbours by truthfulness, liberality of mind and disgust of pretence. The priest was going into BALLYBAY in the evening of Patricks day the 17th of March, when in shout of BALLYBAY he saw a drunk man sitting on the road side & shouting St. Patrick dear I am suffering sore for you, when the drunk man come to find the priest was at hand he got on his knees to pray & was about as ignorant of prayer as preaching, all he could think of on the spur of the moment was St. Patrick was a gentleman & come of dasent people, he built a church in DUBLIN & then raised the steeple then would finish up with Saint Patrick I am suffering soar for you poor dear. Mr. BRENNAN got off his mashine & rebuked the fellow for mock of prayer our good patron Saint Patrick who brought Ireland out of Druidism & Snakeworship. The fellow got it stammered out of him you know your Reverence it is not the words of the like of me uses in prayer has the weight with it, it is the intention. Revd.

Claverhouse	22		“Claverhouse was James GRAHAM, Marquis of Dundee, known to sentimentalists as "Bonnie Dundee". He was descended from Saxons and a military man of some note. A supporter of James II, a Stuart, who was soon to be displaced by William of Orange, he was sent into the western lowlands of Scotland to persecute the Covenanters and force them to conform.” NOTE: The Scotch-Irish, James G. LEYBOURN, 1962. University of North Carolina Press, p129. Apparently the name “Clavers” became a name used as a boogeyman as in, “Behave yourself or Clavers will get you.” MACAULEY describes GRAHAM as , “rapacious and profane, of violent temper, and of obdurate heart, who has left a name which, wherever the Scottish race is settled on the face of the globe, is mentioned with a particular energy of hatred.” See Book II, p44.
Claverhouse, Graham of		44	See BOOK I p22 “Nor I think I will take up another subject, I was on the platform of the MONAGHAN Station when two men I did not know come, one said to the other this man can tell you who CLAVERHOUSE was, Yes said I he was GRAHAM of CLAVERHOUSE, Viscount Dundee, he was one of the upholders of James. In this side of hell he was matchless in his persicution of the Covenanters of Scotland. It was during his day those poor people having to seek refuge in the mountains got the name of mountain men. In my early day those who went to CREVAGH meetinghouse were called mountain men. That is a subject I find some, of our present day Covenanters ignorant of. I will tell one of the many dark deeds of CLAVERHOUSE written by Mr. Bruce LOW in series of Heros of God in respect of the Covenanters. CLAVERHOUSE rode into ESKDALE. Here he found that one of the hunted Covenanters, overcome by sickness, had taken refuge in the house of a respectable widdow, & died there. Harbouring a dying Covenanter was indeed a crime: In punishment & as a warning to others the poor womans cottage was pulled down, her furniture destroyed & herself left to wander about with her family of young children in the wild MOOREland. Her son Andrew was seased for carrying a Bible, and brought before CLAVERHOUSE. It is said that the monster-still under the spell of BROWN's murder - hesitated to kill the child, but touched like Pilate, by some remark of loyalty to his King he ordered the youth to cover his eyes & prepare to die. No said the boy I can look you in the face, I have dons nothing to be ashamed of. But how will you look in the day when you will be judged by what is written in this Bible. The muskets were leaded and in a moment the brave lad fell dead & was buried among the heath on the mountain moor. A philanthrophist erected a monument in memory of the said boy & represented him as holding an open-Bible in one hand with his thumb on the words, Be sure your sin will find you out. Shortly after CLAVERHOUSE who witnessed the murder of this boy, he himself was killed at the battle of KILLIECRANKIE PASS.”

When my brother Wm. went to BELFAST to college Dr. COOKE took him by the hand & went to hear his first lecture, when it was over he said to Wm. man you destroyed your lecture by reading it. I give you an advice get every thing off like a rime & then you can give expression to your subject & give jestures. If you live to old age in the church & that your sight gets dim see the advantage it will be to you not to use notes. He went on to say your looking on off the manuscript puts me in mind of a crow tossing horse manure on the road taking a pick & looking around & again a jackdaw was eating crumbs of bread on my bedroom window stone it would take a bight & look around & it put me asleep.

Cromwell,		13, 52, 53	“Tradition says CROMWELL had an engagement with the natives in the late evening when they ran round the well. Several of CROMWELLs men tumbled into it & were tramped to death & so it took the name of the Sogers well.” “I have been asked of late what was the origin of a lot of things some of. which I will enter in this book. What was the origin of foolscap paper. Every one who has to do with paper recognises foolscap as a sheet 13 in. by 16in. This is used as a standard size all the world over, officially and commercially. After the execution of Charles I. CROMWELL & his staff, in organizing the Commonwealth, made all possible efforts to remove everything which had any thing to do with the old monarchy. The paper in official use to that time had as a watermark, the King's crown, and when CROMWELL was asked what he should put in the place of this crown, to show his overwhelming dislike for every thing conserning Royalty, he directed a fool's cap to be put in place of the crown. This was done & when Charles II. ascended the throne of England, it was at first forgotten to replace the cap by putting something else, and then too late, the King was afraid to do anything to recall things dangerous to touch, & so it was neglected, and the fool's cap may be seen as a watermark on nearly all official papers. “Who was CROMWELL, was put to me lately, he was the Lord Protector of the Commonwelth. The ^.property of Hinchingbrook Castle and the Priory of Ramsey come to the CROMWELLs through Sir Richard CROMWELL who was one of the chevaliers of Henry VIII's Court. Sir Henry Cropwell died in 1603. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir Oliver, uncle & godfather to the Protector. Oliver CROMWELL destroyed both natives and Anglo-Irish, who favoured the Royalist cause, from their homes into Connaught and the dividing of their lands among CROMWELL's soldiers. The 1st May 1654 was the date of their leaving MEATH, KILDARE and TIPPERARY. What was the origin of LONDONDERRY or DERRY. The maiden city as it was called in 1689. When the Williamites held it against James II., had its origin in an oak-tree wood or forest called in the Gaelic doire or DERRY. In the beginning of the seventeenth century a body of London colonists were sent to settle in the district, and in consideration of the Corporation of London expending £20,000 in the establishment of the new Plantation in Ulster, they received from the Crown a very liberal charter of rights. It was -then we first find the place-called LONDON-DERRY.”

Cunningham, Mr.		46	“I saw an account of BALLYBAY & neighbourhood 80 years ago in a CAVAN paper called the Celt of the 6th of September 1902. The anual value of the linen sold in BALLYBAY was £65,000. The principal inhabitants ware presbyterians, distinguished for their inteligence, energy & successful aplication to business The linen manufactured about the neighbourhood was 44 ins. wide & 25 yds. long, the average sales in each market was one thousand & the computed anual value is £65,000. In the vicinity were some extensive bleach greens, Mr. CUNINGHAM & Mr. JACKSON were bleaching between 80 & one hundred thousand pieces of linen anualy. In the centre of the town stood the markethouse over which was held a free school & a Sunday school for children of all denominations. BALLYBAY had a subscription library, population 500. The Drs. were Surgeon W. M’LEAN, M.D., Joseph M’MURRAY, Dr. Elias RUTHERFORD, Dr. David WILLIAMSON of the dispensary. Apothecary Hugh Gault, Solicitor Hebert WILSON. I can go a little farther & say BALLYBAY was built on the profits of linen, all the slated houses in CREEVE too. This house, the houses of the BREAKEYs of BALLADIAN, Wm WIELLY's of said townland, Mrs. MILLSes of BOILK, Widdow WIELLYs of BALLADIAN, Wm. BREAKEYs of BALLANTRAY, John Speers of CORDUFFLESS, John KILPATRICKs said townland, Thos. HENRYs, KELLEMORE, John M'CREERY of DERRY, GREENVALE MILLS.

James BRADSHAW ANNANIECE. ”Were it not for my Hugenot ancester who brought the knowledge of making & bleaching linen to this country it is very likely CRIEVE would be in a wild state still, BALLYBAY in the mudwall houses too. That is a fact none can deny that my ansester in 1691 produced the first web of bleached linen in this County. John SCOTT who lived between MONAGHAN & BALLYBAY was the last linen merchant to sit at a bench & buy webs of green linen in BALLYBAY & COOTEHILL. James BRADSHAW was the last man to employ a weaver in the neighbourhood of BALLYBAY. My brother–in–law the last in CO. CAVAN, John BERRY. BELFAST and LISBURN may thank the Huguenots for introducing the knowledge of making & bleaching linen. In the old Church graveyard LISBURN were to be seen the headstones of several of those poor people, when I was a wee boy.”

Father saw Sam and John CUNNINGHAM fly bank notes on bid against each other and again he saw them auctioned out of all.” “The mill and a patch of land above CREEVE Castle on the road side, was not sold when the CUNNINGHAMs were auctioned out. Those patches of land were not acknowledged by the CUNNINGHAMs to the creditors and so were not auctioned. They were quietly kept on by Sam CUNNINGHAM and in the end sold by Mrs. McMAHON, a very kind hearted goodnatured woman.
