Theirs were, with some exceptions, supporting rather than leading roles. In the feudal period, they were knights, not earls. Afterwards, with occasional exceptions such as Major General Patrick Purcell, who died fighting Cromwell,3 they tended to be colonels and captains rather than generals. They served as sheriffs and seneschals rather than Irish viceroys or lords deputy. -

Welcome. Thanks to your Committee of ten people involved in TidyTowns activities in Inch Bouladuff Ragg. You are all obviously dedicated community people who take the time and effort to attend your monthly meetings in addition to other TidyTowns activities. Your Committee is doing so very worthwhile work for Inch Bouladuff Ragg, a village with a population of less than 200 people. Thanks also for Village Street map, an absolute necessity for such a spread out area. Well done on the ongoing contact with the national school and well done to the school on their involvement in recycling and the Green Flag award. The work of local people, residents, business people, schoolchildren and others is to be praised. Well done on your energy and commitment. From your entry I expected to hear a little more on your partner organisations. A recommendation of this adjudicator is the preparation of a very brief three-year TidyTowns plan for Inch Bouladuff Ragg which would help your Committee highlight the issues and agree on the targets and objectives to be achieved up to say 2011. -
Tipperary News Part 6
Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout. -

Said to have been implicated in a faction fight in which a man was murdered: given Coolbawn to his step-brother, Darby, and fled to U.S.A. He is believed to have been married and that his eldest child was named Walter. John Skehan (aa) was baptised on 3rd May 1787. But it must be noted that there is a John Skehan who died 18th May, 1804, aged 77, and is buried at St. Johnstown with other members of the family: but he however would be too old to be same person as above John, and is perhaps the father of Walter (a).

Book Reviews
TIPPERARY HISTORICAL JOURNAL 1994 © County Tipperary Historical Society www.tipperarylibraries.ie/ths [email protected] ISSN 0791-0655 Book Reviews Land, Politics and Society in Eighteenth-Century Tipperary. By Thomas P. Power. (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1993).376 pp. IRf44. The traditional and still widespread view of the eighteenth century, from a Roman Catholic perspective, is one of persecution and suppression. With the increased assertiveness of the catholic nation after 1829, it became useful to emphasise the darkness of the eighteenth century and by contrast to highlight the distance an increasingly triumphant nationalism had come since those dark days. This view of the eighteenth century was in large measure created and propagated by concentrating on the savage letter of penal legislation, and not on the altogether more casual and at times haphazard spirit in which that legislation was enforced. This point of view can be seen in the work of such an important Tipperary historian as Canon William P. Burke. The book under review by the Waterford-born Thomas Power, and based on his 1987 Trinity College Ph.D. thesis, challenges popular assumptions about the eighteenth century, and for exposing one Irish county to academic scrutiny anyone interested in Ireland's past has reason to be grateful to him. It is a comment on the underdeveloped state of local or regional history in Ireland that it is still found necessary to justify such a study, even though the time is long past when comfortable national generalisations on certain topics adequately illuminate the past. By taking this county as his area for study, Dr Power has not only opened out a hitherto murky period but has also cast a new light on the better known nineteenth century. -

The Armstrong Papers P6-Part1
The Armstrong Papers P6 Part I Armstrong of Moyaliffe Castle, County Tipperary University of Limerick Library and Information Services University of Limerick Special Collections The Armstrong Papers Reference Code: IE 2135 P6 Title: The Armstrong Papers Dates of Creation: 1662-1999 Level of Description: Sub-Fonds Extent and Medium: 133 boxes, 2 outsize items (2554 files) CONTEXT Name of Creator(s): The Armstrong family of Moyaliffe Castle, county Tipperary, and the related families of Maude of Lenaghan, county Fermanagh; Everard of Ratcliffe Hall, Leicestershire; Kemmis of Ballinacor, county Wicklow; Russell of Broadmead Manor, Kent; and others. Biographical History: The Armstrongs were a Scottish border clan, prominent in the service of both Scottish and English kings. Numerous and feared, the clan is said to have derived its name from a warrior who during the Battle of the Standard in 1138 lifted a fallen king onto his own horse with one arm after the king’s horse had been killed under him. In the turbulent years of the seventeenth century, many Armstrongs headed to Ireland to fight for the Royalist cause. Among them was Captain William Armstrong (c. 1630- 1695), whose father, Sir Thomas Armstrong, had been a supporter of Charles I throughout the Civil War and the Commonwealth rule, and had twice faced imprisonment in the Tower of London for his support for Charles II. When Charles II was restored to power, he favoured Captain William Armstrong with a lease of Farneybridge, county Tipperary, in 1660, and a grant of Bohercarron and other lands in county Limerick in 1666. In 1669, William was appointed Commissioner for Payroll Tax, and over the next ten years added to his holdings in the area, including the former lands of Holy Cross Abbey and the lands of Ballycahill. -
