Thanks to Joyce Tunstead and Yvonne Russell http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/wicklow/photos/tombstones/headstones/ballinatone.txt with interest to the text of headstone No.85 is I am sure the resting place of Edward Johnson Surveyor and Valour for Lord Meath, Lord Wicklow, Mr. Gunn-Cunningham and occasionally Lord FitzWilliam. And father of Daniel Johnson. Should anyone have any details regarding his birth c.1791 and/or his marriage (date unknown) to Elizabeth (surname unknown) 1797-1880 I would be grateful. In the same spirit as Cara's stories, I offer the following entry by the minister which I noted when searching the Killiskey C of I records at the National Archives. "In May 1897 Robert Sutton of Black Ditches was having a field known as Casey's field ploughed. The slice? struck a rock. He gave orders to have the rock blasted and when the hole was being made a hollow sound being emitted the men began to investigate and finally discovered a perfect cist ? ? the rock they were trying to blast was the covering stone. Next day I saw it. It contained a large skeleton the bones were quite hard and teeth still remained in jaw. The femur measures 19 inches. A fragment of a bowl was also found and I examined it. It was of baked clay with a zigzag ribbon pattern. The pattern was exactly the same [can't decipher next four words] bowl found at Ballym?t in Sligo, of which there is an illustration in Wichemans Irish Antiquities. I heard that 60 years ago another similar cist was found at Cullen's farm but they were so frightened at the discovery that they covered it up. Also that one had been found at Broomhall. The Cist was this shape - [oblong drawing]. measures inside [crossed out] 6ft.6" long 2ft.6 wide and was about 2ft. high." On the opposite page he has drawn a elevation sketch of the cap stone supported by two pillars. He notes ;" The covering stone has curious slants like a roof". Frank Kehoe
