Ken, Thank you for your suggestion of the Jacobite War of 1689 and the spelling of Kilmacormick. These seem to be in the right time frame and the right area. I have read alot on the Jacobites in the last few days and although I did not find a "Battle of Kilmacormick", I did find references to fighting around Enniskillen and no doubt as the story passed down from generation to generation it became a way to identify the place. Thanks again for your help. Cynthia, Calgary, Alberta.
