Upper Ormond, near Nenagh - Bootashees, Bog-Boys and the Tubbens Toomavara, 5 miles from Nenagh - Cumminses and Darrigs The Gleeson's and Seymours cause to fight - A woman named Seymour died; she was married to a man named Gleeson. The Seymours wanted to have her buried in their native churchyard and the Gleeson's opposed. A serious battle in which 2 men were killed and many wounded, and the feud continues. The Bootashee's are the O'Brien's. A leader of their party appeared in boots and all his followers had pieces of leather wrapped around their legs, tied with thongs, from which they obtained the name. They mostly reside in Ballywilliam and carriggatsher. The Tubbers and Bog-Boys opposed to them are Kennedy's and Hogans of Kilmore, Youghal and Ballywilliam. About 1800 a Hogan boy was playing marbles with an O'Brien boy and they quarreled and the feud began between the families. The Bog-Boys were those living in and near the lands of Cappaghrue and bogs of Tulla, about 4 miles from Nenagh. The Cumminses resided in the mountains between Toomavara and Borris-o-Leigh. The Darrigs are Kelly's and Kilmartin's who mostly reside on the line of road between Kilcommon and Borris-o-Leigh. Darrig signifying "red" took their name from a leader named Kelly who had red hair and a florid complexion. Much here about factions and how they developed into Whiteboys. **If someone has the pc space and the time, this would be a good book to download. http://books.google.ie/books?id=OlACAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA289&dq=Kilcommon+date:1600-1850&lr=&num=20&as_brr=1#PPA288,M1 "On Local Disturbances in Ireland" by George Cornewall Lewis 1836 Some Smith family genealogy, including John Francis Purcell, M.D. of Carrick-on-Suir, physician to the Lord-Lt. of Ireland http://books.google.ie/books?id=Z8INAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA59&dq=Carrick-on-Suir+date:1600-1850&lr=&num=20&as_brr=1 Janet
