For historians: events of 1798 in Clare

[smcarberry]

This is in "Google Books" accessible with any key term you create from the given particulars:

Memoirs of the Different Rebellions in Ireland, From the Arrival of the English...,
Volume 2
by Richard Musgrave (Dublin, 1802)

p. 252 United Irishmen organizing associations in Clare 1798
p. 253 Weavers of Carmelite order settled in Tulla 1796

The indicated pages do not provide any names; discussion is of the activities and impact of these groups. I had no idea that rural East Clare was the target of such focused activism at this early date. I have to wonder if East Clare's being a hot bed of nationalistic energy in later centuries is traceable to these weavers.
