1797 Traitors or Hero’s?
Extract from book in the PPP "Memories of the Different
Rebellions in Ireland" published in 1801 by Sir Richard
Musgrave.
"In 1796 most of the Popish yeomen [Roman Catholics] in County
Carlow were disaffected, and would, had an opportunity offered,
have turned their arms against their King and country.
In Sir Richard Butler's cavalry at Garryhundon in the County of
Carlow, nine papists of whom his permanent sergeant was one,
conspired to murder its Protestant members.
The Sergeant and his popish friends were to have been posted in
the rear of the action against the Rebels and his fellow
conspirators were to have fired on the Protestant Cavalry men
shooting them in the back.
Seven of the papists were convicted and hanged, the other two
fled: but later turned themselves in under the proclamation
obtained their pardon."
