Um.............can anyone tell me what a "pike" is?? Thanks In a message dated 1/28/2010 9:08:25 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, tlaporte@mts.net writes: Hello Denny I'm assuming that these were all men who were applying for protection from prosecution following the events of May 24, 1798 when the United Irishmen gathered in areas around Carlow and then attacked the town with a great loss of life as the army had been made aware that the rebels were coming and led them into a hidden trap where many were killed. These men in this list seem to have been seen with pikes in their possession that day or the pikes were found later in their possession and now they are providing their own affidavits or are providing affidavits from other upstanding citizens in support of their request for protection from prosecution.

Thank you also Tom for taking the time to reply. I had an inkling that was the case but I've assumed some things wrong in the past.
