General Notes:
2 stories of what happened: 1. Owen W. was born in 1795 in County Meath, Ireland. His family owned land near Dublin, Ireland. They lived in a castle which we're told stands to the this day. The family was apparently well-to-do and would not become Anglican, so the English goverment took over the land and it turned over to a family named Smyth. They let Owen remain there as a stable boy.
2. Bradley's had a farm outside Dublin, and when they refused to denowse their Catholicism the land was confiscated from them. The farm was then purchased by a family named Smith. He then says the Smiths kept one of the McMahon son's on as a laborer. This McMahon (to the displeasure of the Smiths), fell in love with one of their daughters Mary and they married.
