The Penal Times [duchas:4964371]
It is told that Mass was said on Mr Coddington's Old Bridge Drogheda land during the Penal Days by a Father O'Reilly. One evening while he was out walking he saw the soldiers coming. He ran in all haste to the house of a Catholic man and asked him for his horse. The man gave him the horse and in this way he escaped. Got from Patrick Lennon (aged 47) Sheephouse, Drogheda Patrick Lennon (Sgoláire)
