First, thanks to John McCabe. Found this in searching around and don't know where or when it was posted. I'd like to know more information about these entries. I'd like to get a copy of Fr. Lavelle's book or information contained in it. Anyway some of us may find this information quoted below helpful...especially if you are involved with the "Tourmakeadies" [sp?] townland. *********************************************************** "I recently came across a single page from the Appendix of a book that discussed more evictions. I believe it to be from the book Father Patrick Lavelle wrote, and I think it covers a year later . The setting here is the activities in court being described, and the evictions made by Bishop Plunket's sister. "....Some stoutley refused, and they were evicted; some gave lying excuses, and they escaped for the while; the rest yielded, and they were left, undisturbed. Lord Plunket never evicted a man who sent his children to the proselytizing school. Up to the period of my appointment he evicted every soul who refused, and gave no hope of yielding !!! The following is the list with their actual families. including new evicted by the Hon. Miss Plunket : - John Durcan 6 in family Widow Walsh 5 Watt Staunton,jun 4 Martin Lally 10 Matthew Lally 9 Michael Smyth 5 James Costelloe 7 Thomas Boyle 5 Austin Higgins 6 Patrick Walsh 6 Pat Stannton 6 Widow Cain 4 Michael Walsh 4 John Boyle 7 Pat Boyle 8 Widow Walsh (2nd) 4 Thomas Lally 4 Martin Lally 10 Pat Murray 5 Ned Joyce 5 Pat Lally 4 John Boyle 8 Michael Cavanagh 7 James Henaghan 5 Widow Lally 4 Michael Heneghan 7 John Walsh 3 Tom Quinn 7 The above were all solvent, and most of them comfortable tenants, not owing a farthing rent. Their places were given to bullocks, to Protestant settlers, or to Catholics who sent their children to school. The list does not contain the names of inhabitants of two whole villages,the Tourmakeadies, evicted by the Bishops relative, to enlarge his Lordship's farm..." John E. McCabe Issaquah, WA" PS. I did read somewhere that most of these families were not actually evicted...just threatened. I think the priest marched into the school and told all the Catholic children to go home, which they did. The priest implored the Catholic parents [from the pulpit] to boycott the school, which they did. The Plunkets ultimately left the area in disgrace and the transplanted families ultimately died out. I think I read this in Quinns 2Vol. "History of Mayo".
